Ah! Location? Bonnie Scotland .... Aberdeenshire to be precise!! Thanks for the replies gents ... a lot of sense there, I have a reasonably local Rangie specialist that may have a testbook so will flash some wonga and see if they can help. Already up to my hock with the local garage and...

Hi All, Decided to sell on the Range Rover Westminster at the tail end of last year as I was made redundant and "No Job + 17 MPG = Stoney Broke". Over Christmas and the New Year no queries. MOT was due in March so I thought I'd get a better response selling with a new MOT. Popped it into the...

Hi, The top hose was not pressurised, 'twas one of the first things I checked!! So hopefully not a head issue. It's a 4.0 v8. Plenty of antifreeze thanks. No sign of external water leaks. That would be tooooo easy!! Water pump? Could be .... I suspect this'll be a visit to the stealer...

Hi, Driving in to work this morning, suddenly got cold feet. Hmmm, the heaters blowing stone cold ... whassup. Glanced at the temp guage. :eek: Into the red with the warning lamp lit!! I pulled over onto the verge, and suddenly the heater started working again and the temperature guage...

Hi, Just noticed that the front passenger door does not work the interior light. There is no obvious door switch! Anyone know where it is? Errr, and yes the light *does* work. The other doors operate it fine ... :) Cheers, Ripface. P.S. While I'm on the subject, the rear tailgate light...

If it's the same as my 2001 Westminster, the speed warning is displayed in the Odometer display, not the Sat Nav display. Push the top button on the Indicator stalk and that should display it. Push again to cancel, or push and hold to change the value. Cheers, Ripface.

Hi, Job's a good 'un. Bulb replaced and working AOK. The old one was burnt black!! It was made a tad easier when my wife pointed out that the steering wheel adjusts towards you as well as up and down. :o I hate it when she's right!! :rolleyes: Thanks for the pointers! Cheers, Ripface.

Hi Lanmjdun, Smooth!! Thanks for that ... I'm off to rip the shroud off again and do the business. But enough of my sexual fantasies .... :D Cheers, Ripface!

Hey Wills, Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I had the shroud off ... and there's *lots* of wires going to and fro! I'll have another go and look out for the ones you suggested. Cheers, John.

Hmmm, sorry if I didn't make that clear. Yes, it's the bulb for the ignition illumination I was referring to. Cheers!

Hi, It's winter. It's dark in the mornings. My Ignition switch bulb does not work!! Gotta replacement bulb. Got the steering shroud off. Now WHERE does the damn thing go? Clean suggestions only puhlease!!

The 0.6 litres aren't missing. As far as I know they were never there in the first place!! I'd have had the 4.6 if the right one had come along, but couldn't resist my 2001 RR Westminster with FSH, years MOT and Tax for £6K. : )) Cheers, Ripface. P.S. Apologies for hijacking this thread.

There must be something wrong with my 4.0 V8! I can hardly hear the damn thing when I rev it!! Mind you I was used to a 3.9 V8 Disco that had a lovely rip to it. Is there a recommended after market exhaust that will let the RR Rrrrrip! (Quite like the look of the quad back systems but...

Hi All, Some more information, and thanks for the suggestions so far!! It appears that this is not a simple leak. When I was doing further investigation the other day I noticed that there is a clicking noise from the EAS "Black Box" after the car is switched off, which sounds like a relay...

Hi All, Picked up my 2001 Range Rover Westminster on Friday. Thought it was strange that the seller "Warmed it up for me" before I arrived. At my previous viewing he had also had the car running waiting for me to arrive. Hmmmm, suspicious!! As expected, I got up next morning to find the...

Hey Dude's, Just got a call from the Garage. Took earlier advice to get the bushes checked, and my mechanic says they are all sound as a pound. He did find that one of the wheels was out of balance ... but that wouldn't cause the steering shake that I'm experiencing. Any more ideas...

Hi Peoples, Got a *bad* dose of the steering shakes. Tried the following ..... 1. Steering box play adjusted 2. Trackrod ends replaced 3. Steering damper replaced It's *still* as bad as ever!! Anything over 50mph, hit a bump mid-corner and the steering wheel goes into a humongous shimmy...

Hi, Just joined Discovery ownership by buying a 1996 V8i ES Discovery. Enjoying the beast tremendously, as does the Wife who drives it most. A couple of quizzy questions for you experts ..... The offside rear mudflap is ... well ... flapping. It appears to be bolted to a panel which runs...
