Short term fuel trim is 11.25 on bank 1, -5 on bank 2, but again these fluctuate as...

    GEMS Hesitation/misfire at 2000 rpm

    Hi all - the rangie's ('98 4.2 Gems) been behaving itself for a while, but over the last few days its developed a reluctance to pull from about 1500 rpm. While it's cold it's fine, pulls smoothly right up the rev range, but as it warms up, if I feed in the power gently while cruising between...

    Aircon, leak from servicing connection

    Thanks emoose, I was looking at the possibility of replacing the pipes if Autokool couldn't help, but I nipped in last night as they were getting ready to close and explained the problem. The valve is an outdated part that they don't stock, but one of the guys thought he might just have one in...

    Aircon, leak from servicing connection

    emoose - did you ever find the solution to this? I now have the exact same problem, a charge leaks out over 3 - 4 weeks, had it charged with nitrogen and UV dye and it's a slow leak from the high pressure port. The first link doesn't work and the second one does but isn't the part. I've...

    Could this be the cause . . .

    Thanks for your thoughts (and the entertaining excursion into an alternate universe of spurious satellite tv and official secrets :confused::confused::confused:) Also - it's not really a rattle - it's a speed related 'lack of smoothness' . . . Anyway - further research seems to indicate that...

    Could this be the cause . . .

    . . . of some 'harshness' at about 65-70mph? It's a '98 4.6 HSE. Harshness is the only word that sort of describes it, it's not really a vibration, or a rumble, it's just not as smooth as it runs at 60 or 75, and it's hard to identify where it's coming from. Anyway whilst grovelling about...

    Project or repair??

    How did you pay? Cash, Finance, cheque, Credit card? If the payment was made to the Company (a separate legal entity) then prob not much hope, but if it was to him personally then you may have an avenue for recompense. If it was cash then perhaps the inland revenue would be interested, I very...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Finally got the AC regassed after fitting the new condenser. Lovely & cool now. :cool: ATS were really good and didn't charge me, even though it passed all the vacuum and pressure tests 3 weeks ago and was working when I left, after the 5 minute drive home, it all leaked out in under 10 mins...

    New aircon condenser needed . . .

    Ahhh - I wondered what the various hi-viz clad council busybodies were going on about when they arrived with their green lights flashing- I told them if "I believed all the arrant bollocks talked about the environment I wouldn't be driving a Range Rover" :D:D:D

    New aircon condenser needed . . .

    @tomcat - it was ATS that did it originally, worked fine till I got it home and heard the hissing and the green drips from the top right of the condenser! @domino - it does take about an hour - they plug it in and it does an 'evacuation', a vacuum and a pressure test, then it fills it with...

    Nanocom won't boot when connected to car

    Thanks Mick, but I've just been on the nanocom forum and I suspect that Gems won't report in such detail as the THOR which has something called 'crank wheel adaption, Phase 1-4' for misfire detection. Ho hum - back to the traditional way then . . . Glad yours is sorted now. A
