right its sorted!! turns out my wife put 15l of unleaded into yesterday when the fuel light came on. grrrrr thanks for all the replies and help

it will rev normally in P or N. out of desperation i rang a garage that buys and sells range rovers over here and his mechanic said gearbox fine FIP is fubar'd :mad:

would that not allow the engine to rev then? when it restarted it would rev freely in park or neutral just nothing when any of the gears were selected.

thanks wammers!! no use asking for the lotto numbers then:D went out this morning to it, turned the key let the glow plugs do their thing and after 7/8 churns it started!!(normaly 1/2 churns does it) however when i put it into D nothing happened, no drive, foot to the floor no rev nothing...

like what?

right then after talking to swmbo it turns out that the brother in law got it started with jump leads(prior to me going out and posting the opening post) but when she put it into D it wouldnt drive she floored it and it shuddered and cut out and wont start again. typical feckin woman not telling...

ill check that tommorow thanks

right then the boss was driving the rangey today when she pulled up at her sisters it stalled and now wont restart. its a 2000my auto diesel, its stalled on me twice in the last month which is starting to worry me... anyhoo i went out and tried to start it this evening i'm getting no messages on...

i'll know more on sunday when i see it

its just a co-incidence that the oil level was low.

it appears to be a leak in the pipe from the abs accumalator the one that goes round the back of the engine.i know her vehicle well and its definatley a p38 engine, it does not have a servo and its definately not a 200/300tdi. she described the pipe to me over the phone and thats all that i can...

lads i recommended leigh to log in here as i was nowwhere near HER at the time. i wasnt sure what she was talking about either and still am not sure. however that doesnt give you an excuse to take the ****.she came on here looking for advice and help on her P38. the reason she has not been back...

just followed your idiots guide to replacing the airbags, as a fellow idiot it came in very useful! pint for you if you make it this far west!!

tried to get the codes read at the local garage but their pooter wouldnt talk to my ecu..... any hoo i went back out and had a poke around the crank sensor and no4 inj (which i had recently changed) and guess what?? the bloody plug had come loose:mad: :doh:plugged it back in properly this time...

starts and idles clean and if you go easy on the throttle it seems ok but when you drive it normally it misfires like mad and wont rev thru it. the engine management light comes on as well when its missing, i have good fuel pressure at the filter (which is 2 weeks old maybe 600 miles) battery...

following on from the above the passenger side aircon now only blows cold and the dreaded book symbol is on the display:eek: can i change just the one blend motor for that side or do all three need doing??

so far in my third week of ownership its had a full set of discs and pads, new keyfob batterys, needs an airbag on the rear, and i got a call from the wife saying it ground to a halt in town this morning engine everything dead!! she turned the key off and on and it restarted saying gearbox fault...

my kits are ordered so ill let you know how i get on!

i followed the instructions as per rave, engine cold ,cycle the gears check it with engine running. topping it up improved it so i think i might take my chances with an oil change. oh and its got 147k on the clock

decided to check my autobox oil level and it took 2litres:eek: anyway when it started to run out of the filler the stuff that came out was brown not cherry red... question is do i drain all the oil out and take my chances with the whole potential crud in the valves issues that can occur, or just...
