Well guys the dream is finally over!!! over much thinking and calculator tapping i have had to put the old girl up for sale (not the wife!) :doh: Although the head gasket had been done before i got it, it had not been done very well so it was confirmed the head gasket has gone but also the the...

thanks everyone for all your help. i will be contacting a local specialist garage tomorrow but it cut out again yesterday while idling in the garden so i dread starting it again! so will need the garage to come and get it. i do have original water pump which a took off previously (thought a...

well just turned it back on and once it got to temperature it started ****ing water out and then cut out!!! totally lost dont know what to do?! how much is a porous head remedy????#

thanks wslr. should come out of the side of the small hole in the water pump? what is the solution to porous block? how can it be diagonesd?

fett - i have just took the top / bottom hoses off and clean out (not much dirty stuff) and tried the old rolled up newspaper to see if fan stops and does not so i think that rules that out. however i noticed something the water pump. on the left hand side there is a small hole (if looking at...

thanks fett! mine is a 4.6 and i have 90,350 on the clock and i replaced the water pump (from island 4x4) 5 months ago - just about to take bottom & top hose off and flush with hose to clean and also inspect fins. i hope it is not the gasket but the following has been done on the car before i...

do i need the fan blades too? or just the viscous coupling (http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/viscous-coupling-4046-err4996-p-106.html)?

once again all the forum members have come up trumps with their detailed answer and suggestions and in double quick time! thanks! will try and look this weekend at the fan - i have used island 4x4 before very good and efficenet - so i second that. Although the fan at first was tough one it is...

During the recent snow the other week i was sat in traffic for 4 hrs (journey normally takes 25 mins!!!) and my 1997 4.6 HSE on LPG started to overheat and to keep it from getting too high i had all the blowers on warm and get the revs at about 1500 (automatic) and this kept in th middle of the...

hi - i have this mirror issue sometimes myself on mostly the drivers mirror but all i have to do is hold down my memory 1 button and the mirrors reset. i did not know about turning off - might do this. hope this helps

just tried the eka code entry as documented on rangerovers.net but not joy but might of exceeded the 3 attempts so need to weight a bit but have just given in a spoke to a mechanic i know and it is going in to be dealt with by the pros. the only advantage is i have replace all the main bits and...

OMG this f'cking p'ssing me off now!!!!! now the engine disabled has come up and wont start. please someone how do i undisable it? says use remote but what does that mean?

irish - i fitted a brand new auto tensioner last weekend so i am assuming that is ok. what i might try it removing the fan and belt and turn the car over and see how the bottom pulley spins? would it be ok to do that or will i cause any damage?

the replacement pulley came from a 1997 4.6 hse like mine so i would assume the dims would be the same. all the pulleys appear to line up - and the belt appears to be in line with no kinks or bends that i can see. soory to maybe ask a daft question beast but being new to all this mechanic stuff...

if i need to get the bottom pulley balanced any ideas where i can get that done?

thanks irish - i have checked the belts and the pulleys and all match up. i have checked it all sits in the teeth of the pulleys etc but as soons as i fire it up it pulls it over.

morning people - i have successfully removed the bottom pulley this morning using a medium crowbar wedged inbetween the water pump pulley and the pulley being removed and i left the old serpentine belt on as protection and additional packing - it worked after a few hefty blows with a lump...
