    Quick Q re new 110 tank....waxoyle?

    Hi There If you have the Waxoyl sitting around then comprehensive coverage is the order of the day. If not then focus on the seams and "top" ie where water can sit unseen. Cheers Nick

    Goodbye Air Suspension

    Okay chaps. I know its been a while but I though I'd post the result. Bought a Rovacom Light and software for the EAS. It immediately cleared the fault and no problems since. Great kit that it is already paying for itself when servicing. Fallen back in love with the air again as it...

    Goodbye Air Suspension

    Thanks to everyone for their views - opposite to my assumption that the air suspension is a popular source of angst. I intend to keep this Classic for a while (thanks goodness for LPG) and will weigh up the costs / benefit and let you know. Air looks to be making a late run on the rails as they...

    Goodbye Air Suspension

    It looks like the air supporters club might win on this. Does anyone know use the Rovacom light? I actually have access to 5 ton 2 post lifts so in theory if I could diagnose the faults myslef I could sort them. Also I thought the emergency inflation kit was P38 item, am I wrong? Cheers Nick

    Goodbye Air Suspension

    Thanks for the feedback gents. Will think on. I probably need a cooling off period such was my disappointment of fixing one problem and being presented with another. If I really believed it could be made reliable I'd probably keep it - I live in Herts - any recomendations for someone who knows...

    Goodbye Air Suspension

    Hi Good challenge. I guess I'm thinking of going to coils becuase I've never had a dramatic failiure on them on any vehicle and on a 13 year old Range Rover Classic I suspect I'm on the border of sequential cost and failiure. I bought it with 75000 miles and a FSH with no record of any...

    Goodbye Air Suspension

    Oh well, having bought 4 new tyres and got an instant and fantastic cure to the "tramlining" problem, I immediatley also got an air suspension warning light and flashing buttons (although it has not deflated). Am, doing 400 road miles a week in this 1994 Classic (which I've had 7 months and...

    P38 '97 Auto Gearbox problem

    Sounds the sort of problem that the guys at Ashcroft Transmissions should be able to give you a view on - if you look at the FAQ's on their site, under auto transmissions it mentions what sound like the same problem. Good luck. Nick. Ashcroft Transmissions

    Range Rover Classic Bang & Panic

    My 1994 Classic scared me yesterday. It is a 3.9 SE dual fuel, air suspension, 76000 miles FSH and serviced very recently. Since buying it I have been doing 400/week without drama until yesterday. I was joining the M25 at speed when their was a huge clonk as if something had hit the floorpan...
