    Power Steering very stiff

    I would suspect your steering pump, check the resovoir for foaming. Stiff steering and leaks sugest over pressurising and the pump drawing in air because the seals are leaking.

    Loose Steering

    The only way to check properly is to jack the disco up and support on the chassis rails. Get someone to turn the steering lock to lock while you look in the engine bay and underneath as well. What you are looking for is the same amount of movement of the steering wheel at the steering joints...

    Classic driving lamps to spot lamps

    Behind the switch you should have two spare wires, one is for the low beam circuit, replace the main beam wire from the back of the switch with this one. A volt meter will confirm which wire it is as I can not remember the colour. Lamps on US Range Rovers were wired to come on on low beam...

    Look and Listen to my v8 monster.

    That sounds great, and you will never have to buy another exhaust. Ignore the silly comments.

    PAS leak

    No you cant. Replacing the seals very rarely works you will have to bite the bullet and get a new one, or stick a drip tray under the Landy.

    Viscous Fan Testing

    Turn the engine off and wait for it to cool down. If the fan is not faulty then it should spin freely with just a push of your hand. When the temp rises with the engine running fluid flows from the vanes and locks up the fan causing it to spin at the same speed as the engine therfore cooling...

    paddocks are great

    I ordered 4 Kumho tyres from their web site on Wednesday, get a phone call 1 hour later stating that they dont make them anymore and would I accept an alternative. I agreed and paid for express delivery, and was told that they would be with me on Friday. Friday comes no tyres, sent an email...

    Fuel line problem

    I dont know what company you are using, but I have had pipes delivered by paddocks in the past and they were inside a tube and wrapped in foam. I would not advise cutting them as that defeats the whole object of getting genuine parts in the first place. You have several alternatives. 1...

    Your right, I had that page saved from when I had to change my bearings it was given to me by a friend, I wondered where that came from. That site has some good info on it. All the best with the bearings.

    2000 Range rover

    As stated earlier, the bearings in the UK are £10 per side. Once you remove the hub a local garage will charge you about £20 per side. I can't understand where people get these prices from, I get so angry when people are prepared to accept the first price that they are given. I have had two...

    2000 Range rover

    sloppy steering / MOT

    Open the bonnet, turn on the engine. Get someone to turn the steering wheel while you look at the steering shaft as it comes out of the bodywork. What you are looking for is no play between the steering universal joints and the steering box. The amount that the steering wheel is turned should...

    Whats it doing now?!!

    Remove the switches from the top cover of the switch box, be carefull as they are fragile. Prise up the cover with a small screwdriver, be carefull as theses are also fragile. Spray some contact cleaner or WD40 into the mechanism and work the switches backwards and forwards, this will clean...

    Ignition coil

    Check the obvious first. Make sure that there is not a short on the cable on the coil, and that all connections are clean. Check the output from the battery when turning over the engine, should be about 14volts. If this is ok then suspect the alternator, it is probably overcharging, the...

    SCS Jaguar Parts

    SCS Parts Ltd. Looking in the various mags this month, is it just me, but are their parts grossly overpriced. Range Rover top tailgate £720. New starter motor £110 pounds. Both items can be bought for half of those prices from other suppliers.

    Upper tailgate rubber seal

    When you consider that the seal is shaped and double edged for the aperture, £40 is reasonable. The seals on a roll will not fit properly.

    You are probably right to keep away, that did not include the 4 accidents in cars without airbags.

    Srs Fault

    A main dealer will charge £800 to supply and fit new bags. The reason that they state that they should be changed is, that they will not gaurantee that they will work after a certain time. This has not been conclusively proven though. I have been in two accidents in cars with airbags over...
