    RR Classic - Leaking - Wet Footwells

    Also while you've got the door panels off, run a hose against the glass and check where the water's running when it gets to the door speakers. Where they're set into the membrane on mine, the plastic membrane was chanelling water down the panel and straight into the footwell.

    I Just bought a Range Rover and it has a problem :(

    No, it'll be condensation mate. Mine does it, you're effectively running a boiler burning gas. The guy at the garage who fitted the kit said that burning LPG produces lots of condensation, even when hot, so not to worry. Put your hand in the steam from the exhaust while she's running, should...

    I Just bought a Range Rover and it has a problem :(

    Hi Terry Got an '89 Vogue. When I bought it the auto box sounded pretty rough, changed the oil and the filter screen and it's been smooth ever since. When you say white smoke on LPG you sure it's not condensation? I run LPG and there's alot of white condensation when running on it.

    I'm new

    Hi RPM. What were you looking for? A classic or a p38? I wanted a classic for ages and it took me over a year to find one. Paid £3000 in the end for a beauty, 1989 with 32k on the clock and full service history, garaged for life. If in doubt get an RAC check. I did and it was well worth it...

    3.5 V8 Efi Ticky Tappets

    Yeah, been changing all oils regularly. I tried some engine cleaner with the last oil change, a few people said it might clean/loosen up a sticking tappet, but no.

    3.5 V8 Efi Ticky Tappets

    Thanks for the reply Ed. I don't want to adjust tappets, i just need to replace if it is one of them ticking. But the ticking seems to be worse when she's warmed up. Does anything else cause that sort of noise? Is it all easily accessible with the inlet manifold removed? Would really appreciate...

    loss of power

    I've got 3.5efi 1989. Was losing all power when accelerating a few months back. I cleaned all the earth leads, battery leads etc. in the engine bay and it was fine. Relocated a couple of the ends, especially the braided ones that are bolted to the inner wing, cleaned off the contact surface and...

    3.5 V8 Efi Ticky Tappets

    Hi, brand new to all this forum stuff, and Landrovers! All looks good though. Got a 1989 3.5 Efi. Need to replace the valley gasket some time soon. Whilst doing this am I right in assuming I can access the pushrods/tappets reasonably easily? Do I need to replace them? There is a ticking noise...
