It sounds like you are having a normal ABS bleed incident. The pump running constantly means either there is a lot of air in there or the pressure switch is dead. I am afraid you need to go back and start all over again. Bleeding the ABS has to be done exactly as it says in the manual, there are...

With carbs I would be checking the needles move correctly. If these carbs have a diaphragm, pop the tops off and make sure there are no holes in the diaphragms. Check any choke mechanisms - make sure the choke is able to be fully off. If it's an automatic choke that works with a bi-metallic...

Have had a breeze through this; sounds like a nightmare. 21" vacuum at idle is pretty strong. My 3.9 only makes 15". Your ignition timing is very advanced. AFAIK the 3.9 was never made for carbs so ignition timing, advance curve and then valve timing, lift and duration would have been set up for...

Breather is a fair shout. Have you tried doing a vacuum test? This might help confirm if there are any inlet manifold leaks. The tin gaskets are notorious for leaks; usually coolant from the ends but if there is a bit of a blow elsewhere, vac test might be helpful but as to where you can attach...

In line with what Discool said, I have found issues with ignition because old wires become brittle and break inside the insulation or are just corroded so the ends need cutting off and new spades crimped on. Not sure how your ignition is wired up but I would expect the circuit to be the same so...

Just noticed this one. Fuel pump playing up is something I have come to live with. Things to check: 1: Fuel pump relay, if it is stuck or just dead then no fuel. Maybe try swapping with the main efi power relay.If you listen when you switch on the ignition you should hear the relays click, first...

Sounds like ignition amp or the wires connected to it. Check and trace the wires to the ignition amp and test. Also, depending on age of the engine, ignition amp may have only 2 pins/wires but it does the same. I note the OP is in Chester, not a million miles away so if it still doesn't work...

No I'm not joking, perhaps when I say handle, I should talk about "feel". I have simply found the air suspension lacks feel and the L322 definitely felt like it had more body roll and had more understeer when pushed. I would have to agree the P38 and L322 have more ultimate grip due to wider...

I'm a bit late to the party on this one. If I understand this you are worried the oil light takes a few seconds to go out after start up. Mine has been like that for ages without issue. Also, do you know if you have an original oil pressure switch? I have found this issue is more noticeable...

MMMMM......... RRC, there's good and bad. Early ones do roll a bit in the bends, later ones that had the anti-roll bars are quite good, you can push them quite hard in the bends or at least that is what I have found. Don't know about ones on air though. I do know I found my classic handled...

FWIW 4.2 has a different cam as well.

New amplifier is good. It would be worthwhile checking the rest of the ignition system though. So have a look at leads, plugs, rotor arm and dizzy cap These motors don't like aftermarket ignition parts. I don't think you can get OE amplifiers but the Intermotor ones seem O.K. For rotor arm and...

Dunno if you sorted this yet but FWIW I would suspect ignition amplifier. If you swap the amplifier, it is possible with care to do it without pulling the distributor but to be honest it is just as easy to pop the dizzy out, but make sure you mark the position of the distributor before you pop...

Black rubbery/plastic stuff often comes up great after a coat or two of boiled linseed oil. Peanut butter apparently does work but I've never tried it. Back to black and other preparations don't really handle bleached plastic very well in my experience. I have recently been using Dodo Juice...

I don't know much about diesel Range Rovers but my 3.9 has HD springs which comprise standard rear springs on the front then slightly stiffer (red and white "police spec") on the rear. The HD springs give a small raise, about 1 inch but the ride is not noticeably compromised.However, it should...

Misfire might be related to O2 sensors, maybe? Not sure how the engine management on a D2 deals with them but on the old 14CUX hotwire system the ecu ignores the O2 sensors until the engine is warm so can run fine when cold and at WOT but be a nightmare in between with misfiring and rough...

Forgot to say, Discool may be right and you have just flooded it. It does happen (quite easily) so you never know! Maybe pull all the plugs, give them a clean and then pop them back in. If you can, warm the plugs up then put them in (quickly before all the heat sinks in to the heads) then crank...

If you have fuel it suggests everything up to the coil is good because if the ignition amplifier, dizzy pick up or ignition switch was at fault there could be no fuel because the efi ecu takes a "run" signal off the coil. Have you checked your rotor arm and dizzy cap? Might also be worth making...

Belated Happy New Year and all that. Yes Jai I am mending slowly. I am walking again but only slowly. Have started driving again as well which is a bonus. Got to do inlet manifold gasket on the Rangie, not sure if I can stand up long enough to do it in one go but one way or another I will get it...

Interesting. My gut reaction would have been to suggest inlet manifold leak but if you have a new one, maybe not. Have you run a compression test? I think I would want to check all is good on cylinder compressions. If you have one, try doing a vacuum gauge test, sometimes a vacuum gauge is a...
