Hi Andy I got 2 new keys from the main dealer and had the same problems, the computer system in the car had been swapped out for a replacement. I had to take the car to Richard at Callrova CallRova | Range Rover and Jaguar Diagnostics +44 (0)7742 500 190 Unfortunately it was the only...

Hi I have a 2001 model with the same engine, and the system is run by two belts Cooling, alternator, steering Belt Fan 2.5Td BMW (Dayco) STC4455 Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order. And the air con belt is...

So had a perfect journey home with not a trace of getting warm including long inclines on the A38, no idea what caused the problem, I loosened the expansion tank cap to top up on a steep incline (rad lowest) when the engine was warm, I wonder if this caused an air lock? Thanks very much for...

Hi Steve I have had exactly that syndrome, I have had an overheating problem and today as part of the general cooling system look over I checked the carpet area and not wet, but has the oily/slimy dampness to it....... I have noticed it before very odd Ash

Hi Keith Thank you I did all that stuff and it all seems fine now, took it around the inclines and no problems, I can stop the fan with newspaper tho. This part is only about 18months old and from memory was quite expensive, can't remember if it was Britpart or not. Wammers thanks, that all...

Hi Keith Pretty sure I buttoned the cap down well and truly, when I released it at the petrol station there was huge gush of coolant and steam. Have topped up before and had no problems I can't get my head round it as its has been absolutely fine until I topped it up yesterday when warm/hot...

Sorry Ii should have said it's a 2.5 turbo diesel

Hoping it's not ta cracked head or anything like that, went through all this a couple of months ago and was just a cooked stat and me letting the coolant level get low, I haven't got the gear with me to strip down the system, I'd like to think is not serious, just mysterious...... here's hoping

Thanks WSR I'll give that a shot tomorrow...... I just wonder what I have done to upset the system, there goes that old adage, if it aint broke don't fix it

Ah thanks for that........ there wasn't any warm air coming through.......how do I remove the air lock?

The filler cap on the expansion tank And WSR, as far as I know there are no leaks, this all seems to been initiated from my warm engine top up today.......seems a bit crazy

Hi Well it was kinda based on Keith's advice to check and top up the level every now and then, and I have had the top off for about a month. As I was intending to do a long journey, just part of an oil and water top up Thanks for your reply

Hi I was about to depart from Cornwall to London and the temperature needle started climbing toward red. It has been running fine and given a real workout on the cornish hills with no problems However I did top up the water today when the engine was hot it took about a pint or so...

Hi Wammers Thanks for the reply Yes I realise the kit was a load of tosh, just looking to tidy up the area really. When I removed the old erg it wasn't all caked up with soot as to was prior to blocking the egr feed pipe so not much restriction but it was wet with oil The vent tube just goes...

Hi everyone Since curing the overheating incident the P38 2.5 diesel 2001 has been trouble free for a a few thousand miles. I fitted one of those erg bypass kits, removing the penny block and the old valve, not sure if it was placebo but it seemed to run a little better since fitting. However...

Here's mine....... Bought in May 2013 driven about 12000 miles

Hi I bought a 2001 DSE Auto to replace a new 90 that I bought and couldn't get on with for the very reasons you cite, even in a new one!! The RR has been a bit of a trial but I have had about 10,000 miles of trouble free cruising in great comfort between London and Cornwall after I fixed and...

Sorry, by service history I mean as comprehensive a record as to what has been changed, renewed or rewired, as Keith says above, competent enthusiast owned being a good option

Collected it by flat bed truck, carried out various tests for cooling system replaced thermostat, expansion tank cap and the radiator unfortunately the rad is not a good make...........

I will sell it with a "marble" Radiator Test System as part of the deal........
