    Range rover starts then dies.

    I have an 1989 3.5 efi RRC with a flapper AFM. If I take all 8 plugs out and wire brush them clean, it starts on literally the first crank of the engine, and will run for about 1 -2 minutes then cough and splutter and then dies. I can get it to start again after cranking it over a bit, but it'll...

    Classic lower tailgate hinge spring

    Thanks, I have the 'P' clips still, I will have a look again tomorrow bearing that in mind, the fact that I'm trying to find a hole that isn't there may explain why I can get them to work. Thanks for the clues, fingers crossed I'll get some tension on them tomorrow.

    Classic lower tailgate hinge spring

    I have replaced my rear crossmember a few months ago now, and am just now getting round to putting it all back together, but I cannot fathom out how the tension springs for the lower tailgate hinges go into place, I've figured that they obviously have to have a twist in them in order to apply...

    disco 1 ride height

    I know that there is only a small difference between each side but now that I've spotted it I notice it all the time. Just to confirm, the gap difference that I've measured is from the top of the tyre to the wheelarch.:confused:

    disco 1 ride height

    I posted a topic back in Jan regarding my disco's ride height. The Drivers side at the front sits about half an inch lower than the left. Last weekend I changed all four springs with new springs c/o britpart, and it has new shocks all round already, however it is still sitting low on the...

    ride height

    Hi I have a 95 ES V8 and the front drivers side suspension is sitting about half an inch (13mm) lower than the left hand side, I have jacked it up on the chassis to let it the spring hang to inspect it and it all seems fine, Is it possible that maybe the previous owner was a bit of a bloater and...

    That's great, its is definatley gurgling, any tips of how to bleed the air out, it has recentley had a new water pump, prior to my ownership, so that could account for the air in the system.

    Running water?

    Hi I have a 95 V8 disco which when I go up or down any steep gradiates I experiance the sounds of water gushing around somewhere, sounds like its right behind the dash, but it would do if I'm driving. The carpets are dry and there is no obvious leaking internally, Just wondered if anyone has any...

    V8 LPG ignition timing?

    I have a 3.9i Disco on LPG and have been trying without much success to find what would be the optimum timing for it to be set at. I realise that LPG likes a lot of advance compared to the 5 deg BTDC for Petrol, but as I start it on petrol until it has properly warmed up then switch across to...

    Range rover classic engine flooding?

    I have an 89 classic 3.5 efi on a flapper, which is an ongoing restoration project, (lot of welding to do), which will run for about 20 minutes idling lovely and then you touch the gas and it cuts out and won't restart. Removing the plugs shows that they are wet with fuel. If I clean them all...
