Ok we finally have the car back. Apparently the following parts were replaced. Head gaskets. Water pump Alternator However after a 160 mile drive today I have had to put in almost 4 litres of coolant.

The dealer has been going 2 years. At the minute I am more worried in the quality of the work that will be done by them but we will see what tomorrow brings. I reckon he already has the new water pump on it.

I'm off up the CAB tomorrow.

The dealer is now stating that the one or both of the head gaskets has gone and has sent an estimate which he wants us to pay before starting work despite only having the car 9 days before it went kaput. The estimate comes to around 650 but dose not include coolant, oil or new head bolts. The...

Holidaychicken, I will check your thread out thank you. The temp gauge remained in the middle all the time the vehicle didn't overheat unless the gauge is faulty. I said to the wife right from the beginning that if she got this range rover then we had to get a diagnostics tool I currently like...

The dealer still has the car and is saying that is the water pump failed after a hose split but this seems like a bit of a tall tale to me.

We are only 9 days into ownership so hopefully the dealer is going to sort it! Remembered that it didn't start first time this morning as well.

2005 4.4 v8 vogue petrol. Our range rover just went away on a tow truck. Firstly noticed smoke on acceleration then as you were coasting in drive approaching junctions etc the engine started making a whine almost like a supercharger sound. Pulled over and inspected upon revving the engine...

It drives spot on. Everything else seems to work apart from that.

Hi, Considering purchasing a 2005 l322 4.4 petrol vogue it has a few things to fix most of which I think I have sussed out, however the one problem I am struggling with is that the rev counter always reads low 0 rpm on idle, about 800 rpm at 50kmh. if you rev the engine in park the dial does...

Big thanks to Irishrover who has got me back on the road again :) on sending my becm he swiftly sorted the problem and got me going again

ok thanks.

Hi im in north cumbria. I had a flat battery and since then its not started Its a 4.6 1997, no messages on dash, check engine light does not illuminate when turning on the ignition. its at a local specialist he has tried a resync think he has autologic also has another. They won't sync...

If I buy an unlocked becm for my p38 does it need the security rescyned with the ecu? My mechanic thinks my becm has failed as it wont resync after a flat battery thanks

Im up in lovely old cumbria!

I got my old 300tdi 90 up to 97 on the speedo but she didnt like it the old tempreture gauge was getting way high! intrestingly enough turned up the pump and it was definetly faster off the mark and up to speed but would only top out a 76 afterwards!

I wondered about ebay maybe give that a whirl give it a quick pressure wash and get some pics next time the sun comes out If someone could do the bits themselves then I think it would be a reasonable motor really wish our drove was flat!

Ok The tax has run out on Freddie the 200tdi its tested until november but I cant see it passing that with ease and im wondering if its time to cut my losses and send it off for scrap this is the picture of it today: Good new cambelt engine sweet as a nut gearbox fine new discs and pads...

evening all i have just fitted a new ignition to my 200tdi as the old one was broken and you used to start it with a rockerswitch for the ignition and a push button to start. It always started on the button (no punn intended) but now it will not and im left with one wire not connected to...
