    what is this for?

    In an attempt to learn more about my 2.5 DHSE, I was having a route around the engine bay. I have a minor starting issue, it seams that there is some air in the transparent fuel line. When the ignition is turned on the bubble journeys up the pipe towards the engine block and disappears. Could...

    My Range Rover has healed itself (any ideas what’s going on?)

    That makes sense. Many thanks. The vibration cleared as the engine improved so I assume that the vibration was due to some imbalance? Anyway, and I am feeling rather like a greedy schoolboy here, zapping everybodies knowledge and experiance. The starting issue? Should I just bite the bullet and...

    Sorry. To add. No idea if the intercooler has been cleaned, FSH but only have the book not the individual paperwork.

    My Range Rover has healed itself (any ideas what’s going on?)

    No misfire but a small and irregular start conundrum. Cold is fine (ish) one day instant, the next quick but with a cough. Warm is a 3 second churn after half an hour standing. If an hour, could take a coupe of tries.

    My Range Rover has healed itself (any ideas what’s going on?)

    Thanks very much. But! The improvement in performance was great after the MAP pipe was reconnected. However, this new boost of performance is the unexplained bit. There must be something more? It's very significant. God knows that I'm not complaining but learning would be good!

    My Range Rover has healed itself (any ideas what’s going on?)

    I completely get the fact that driving 'Christine!' will get the old girl going better, but its the increase in power that I don't understand. If they were designed to be this pleasurable to drive, they would never have got the reputation of being so under powered. Someone on here (regarding a...

    My Range Rover has healed itself (any ideas what’s going on?)

    So, I bought this car about three weeks ago. It clearly had a problem as it was catastrophically under powered. Two owners from new, last serviced at 100k now at 105. However, the last service was in 2010! Got home very slowly and sent it off to an excellent independent Range Rover specialist...

    2.5 DSE after a 4.6 and Hello!

    Thanks very much for the advice. I have just collected the car from the garage. What a difference! it seems that after a very comprehensive service (and the replacement of a couple of little pipes, I think I've read about these, the ones that make the turbo work!) it is a different car. Still no...

    2.5 DSE after a 4.6 and Hello!

    Thanks very much. Before considering the chip, I am having the car fully (they do a very thorough job) assessed my Mark Smith Land Rover and having a full service. I don't tow with any frequency. Some others have talked about cleaning the intercooler, increasing the size of intercooler putting...

    2.5 DSE after a 4.6 and Hello!

    Hello to all and I hope that you don’t mind a question straight away. I have just purchased a 2.5 DSE after my 4.6 slipped its liners. It’s in great condition but I am struggling to get used to the lack of power. It is with Mark Smith Land Rover at the moment having a service and assessing...
