awesome thanks mate, will be working on it Monday, will see how I get on

Will be interesting to hear what it does, couldnt seem to get much detail from the website. Probably, soapy water time me thinks :). Although if you can hear it you may beable to feel/see it. As the backs came up slowly, the tank could have...

We heard a hissing sound coming from the front wheel, which sounded like air leaking, long continuous sound maybe 30 sec / minute… would that be a split airbag?

It’s supposed to be close to the GAP tool in capabilities… we will see, 30 day return policy, so…

Will have to digest that properly a bit later, thanks a lot , the diag I was recommended by my mate was the Kingbolen EDiag Elite, seems incredible for the price, can’t wait to give it a try.

Haha that would be fantastic! Well I’ve ordered a new Diag which comes Monday then I’ll start tackling these bits and bobs in the hopes to get it back on the road :) … I’m glad it’s not that bad regarding suspension haha… let’s see 🤞🤞

Suspension will be the easy bit. Don't know why but I really like resolving suspension issues on these things...? Probably because so many people are so terrified of it and in reality, it's just not that bad at all. I wish I had the time to...

Here’s. Link to the vid :) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/37o3i0kkf3vq6ttcrw67y/IMG_0959.MOV?rlkey=5nqq8kcb3g88sqhy04ly1h3fy&st=5h997tjc&dl=0

By the way, couldn’t seem to attach a video lol

Hello all, it’s a big day… please see the video attached, a friend of mine, a Land Rover fanatic came along, with the car having sat for so long he said, ok, first things first, let’s drain the fuel and get some fresh stuff in there… so , we did...

Hi guys I'm late to the party, but an interested bystander. If the immobilisor was the issue, I am sure the engine would not crank (see workshop quote below) so fuelling must be the issue as others have remarked. Your own diagnostic tool will...

My issue was the HP pump and relief valve and yes it was a PITA to change. I refurbed mine which failed and then had to get a recon one so changed it twice.

i went through this last year low pressure and no start was about to change the high pressure relief valve at the back of the high pressure pump when a diesel engineer told me to do a leak off test, one faulty injector later runs as sweat as, you...

There appears to be 2 sensors, HP and LP.

if he has a pressure sensor issue he wont read any pressure with diags,( and an immoberliser issue in the ecu) id go for the leak off test easy to do, its fuel air and compression despite all the sensors

he needs the right software for that, besides hes already been told theres no pressure, just hasnt diagnosed were its going, becoming a shot gun repair ( unnessesery ecu mod )

there are lots of reasons why you cant register fuel pressure, the imoberliser isnt one of them, there are 3 pumps in the system any of which could cause no fuel pressure then there is the fuel pressure relief (mechanical and not monitored) and...

The diag mechanic told me there was an error from the fuel pressure sensor, but that’s all he told me, I messaged him today asking to give me the code or more info and he said he didn’t save it or whatever and can’t give me any more info, so...

You need to check the fuel pressure to at least rule it out. Diags can read them.

According to Mark_C on rr.net L322 section, all the immobiliser does is prevent the key turning & starter engaging. If that's true then sort the fuelling first !! https://www.rangerovers.net/posts/2209790/ But other threads say it stops...

It was more as a test… cos honestly I’m so confused now.. haha ur right, prob next best thing is a diag tool. 👌

Personally I would not buy a used sensor, just another failure waiting to happen IMO. Buy a diagnostic tool so you can diagnose the fault.

i had just one faulty injector which prevented the fuel rail from getting to pressure, no pressure and ecu doesnt fire injectors

Well I’ve found a used but working replacement sensor on eBay for 30 quid , might be worth a punt?

Well I was told by another mechanic and the previous owner that the likely cause was the immobiliser…. Then another mechanic, came and did a diagnostic and told me to deactivate the immobiliser, and if that doesn’t work then replace the...

Yeah have been through all the plugs on the ECU and tested for ground, live etc etc … for example, I was able to confirm that I am getting pulses of electricity to the injectors

Only one is relevant! Check the ECU connectors for corrosion (,i expect you already have though,)

That sounds like a huge nightmare, there is so many wires in this car 😂😂😂

What does that mean? Nightmare?

This part right? https://ebay.us/m/XQ5e8w
