Errm, I meant mm not cm!

Refers to the diameter. 235/70 is 1cm taller than std, 215/75 is 5cm ish shorter. (80% of 205cm =164, 70% of 235=164.5 75% of 215=161.25 etc)

I think the op said the new engine and fip ran fine for 5k before this problem. So shouldn't be fuel quantity. But agree the symptom matches.

Sound like wire to flap or the actuator itself got fried. Would try to test actuator with current applied direct to see which one. or look around wheel arch area for a melted looking wire. ;-)

I have 235x70x16 on mine and have no probs apart from needing to adjust lock stop. Might get round to it one day. They are quite knobbly and noisy so i'm expecting to replace with tarmac tyres as they wear out. I got it with them already on, so don't know how different standard size is.

I'd bin it and block the EGR off anyway. but if you want to keep it, yeah, there's either something breaking it, or whoever fitted it didn't do it right. Wouldn't think its a faulty part.

yeah! remove the EGR. I found removing it improved responsiveness off the line.

isn't a nudge bat what geoff boycott used to use?

i'm just guessing, (not based on real actual facts but what i've seen on mine) but i think the rev counter is significant. Guess 1: the throttle electronic control is bust or connection probs. I know when i've got connector on mine wet rev counter didn't work. Guess 2: ecu or conection fault...

when you say locked up, do you mean it wouldn.t steer or steering became heavy, or the wheel wouldn't rotate? Does it turn to left ok, or is that heavy too? Fluid would have to be brake fluid or power steering fluid. You should check the reservoir bottles in the engine bay. Both on drivers side...

that's the MAP sensor hose then. I wonde how it got full of oil if you don't have egr... Must come from the turbo I suppose. Mine does it too... Anyone know if this is normal?

did anyone mention MAP or injector 4 failure/disconected yet? I think they could give these symptoms.

how about this one: could be yours in just 3 hours :) 1997 LAND ROVER RANGEROVER 2.5 DSE AUTO GREEN | eBay UK

seems a bit pricey to me - going on ebay for simillar age P38 diesel over last month or so, 1500 - 2000 seem to be about the going price for those with some niggles. range rover,rangerover 1997,1996,1998 dhse,dt,dse,diesel auto | eBay UK

I'd say it could well do - compression test on each cylinder would be next step. If the gasket is gone between two cylinders, then they'll both be down on pressure.

well, if no one else on here has experience of this to help you which is possible since its so new,at least it must be under warranty and you can keep taking it back until they fix it :) what has the dealer said so far?

sounds like either your battery is legitimately low, or you could use the patch referenced here: DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - Low Battery Warning

maybe you spilled some oil on the drive belt changing the rocker cover gasket? that might make it squeal.

It'll run like **** with a standard injector there - iinjector 4 tells the ECU about the timing of fuel delivery I think. its expensive to buy - £160 new I think - but if you can get that 2nd hand one, the job isn't so hard. shouldn't take more than a couple of hours first time.
