You can calibrate the height sensors and delete the air suspension with the Foxwell.

If you are looking for an affordable and available alternative, take a look at the Foxwell NT530 with the Jaguar Land Rover software. It handles live data far better than my Hawkeye Total and covers pretty much all JLR models.

Head gaskets can fail in several ways. If yours has gone, it sounds as though coolant could be getting into the combustion chamber at high revs - this gives white exhaust as the coolant turns to steam. If this is the case then the coolant level will be going down and you might find water...

Sounds like you might have a blown head gasket.

Result! Congratulations. When I rewired the CPS on my son's TD5 D90 it also refused to start. After a cup of tea and some swearing, I took out the brand new CPS sensor and replaced it with the old one. Fired up first time and has been running properly ever since.

The signal current within the sensor wiring is tiny, and so it is susceptible to electromagnetic interference. To prevent this the cable contains a flexible shield layer similar in concept to old-style coaxial cable (but much thinner). This shielding earths into one of the terminals in the red...

It sounds as though air is getting in and/or the system is not self-bleeding. Worth a double check, is the new air bleed valve working and is it in the right place? It should be in the closest fuel line on the left as you look at the filter. That is - it is in one of the fuel lines exiting the...

Sounds like an air-in-the-fuel issue alright. As you are obviously aware, injector seals are often the culprits, but changing them does not always give a lasting solution. Annealing the copper washers can apparently help, but if you change them again I would look carefully for any cracks around...

Foxwell also saves to an SD card.

+1 on the Foxwell. I have the NT530 and it handles live data way better than my Hawkeye Total. About the only thing that it doesn't do is remap ECUs.

How is it heresy? Not even LR pretend that their current range contains a vehicle that can be supported without access to highly sophisticated maintenance facilities. They are demonstrably good off road, but are simply not viable as long range overlanders to remote regions without a dedicated...

Looking ahead, I'm hoping that as 2030 comes closer and diesel vehicles become increasingly difficult to sustain, that the technology will improve enough and become cheap enough to make this a viable option. It could be all electric with fast-charging, huge capacity batteries, or it could be...

If you put a wheel on a solid axle over an object it tilts the whole vehicle including the diff away from the ground. Independent suspension just raises that wheel until the suspension runs out of compression. Solid axles are much less comfortable than independent suspension (which is why LR no...

He is right the Active Driveline system will do more than just switch between 2WD and 4WD. The twin clutch system in the rear "diff" will direct 100% power to one wheel. OTOH if the system fails, it is screwed without access to sophisticated repair facilities. So, I'll take a traditional 4x4...

If it is the Hi/Low Detect Switch then you will not be able to select HDC if it is missing.

As alternatives to MTF 94, RAVE gives Burmah Oil MTF 1067 or OPEL B 0400063 for refill or topping-up. No idea if they are any more available than MTF 94. As a final thought - and if all else is unavailable - LR used to give ATF Dexron IID or III as alternatives to MTF 94 on the R380 gearbox...

Outstanding! Well done Col. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Ignore them. :) Welcome to the site. Despite the series brigade claiming otherwise there are owners of late model LRs on here who will much appreciate your insight and knowledge. You just have to accept that the site is laced with banter and dark humour.

If that fails, this is the Purge procedure in RAVE Purge 1. Turn the ignition switch off and wait 15 seconds. 2. Turn the ignition switch to position II and wait 3 minutes (this ensures that the fuel system purges all the air from the fuel rail within the cylinder head). 3. Fully depress the...

When running it self-bleeds, but the easiest way to do it is to turn the ignition to position II (power, but engine off), pump the accelerator about 5 times until the MIL (engine check light) flashes. This starts an auto bleed sequence that lasts about 5 minutes. If these is a lot of air, you...
