I disagree with practically everyone..!:D The Evoque is a fine car, but expensive for what you get. The japanese alternatives won't even come close - maybe in abilities, but never in 'feel'. I have driven one (the 245hp turbo petrol version) many times and it's comfortable, enjoyable, pretty...

You should not be able to block the compressor output with your finger. If you can, you need to replace the piston seal (and preferably the cylinder), or get a replacement pump. As for your electrical issues, they seem unrelated to me and I second the advice you've gotten about fuse box and...

Thanks, will do.

'97 4.6 HSE

OK. Not to hijack the thread, but which one is the ECU temp sensor? There's a black one and a blue one on mine, but which is which? Henrik

Mine does this on occation, but never if it's sat for a good while. It only happens after a short drive, when the engine is only just warm but not properly up to temp. The starter will crank its nuts off without any sign of life from the engine. If I leave it for about 5 minutes and then crank...

I'm sure they're liable, but the money isn't the issue (£5); time is. I was planning to replace this weekend and that's not going to happen with something shipped from the UK tomorrow. I won't mind the expense of a new seal, but I need to source it here if I am to stick with the schedule. The...

Thanks. I thought of that, but that would involve removing the seal (i.e. messing it up completely) without having a new one at hand. I dare not take the risk that this particular size is out of stock, as that would leave the car undriveable. In fact, our company has a large stock of seals and...

Dear all, I ordered a flange and seal kit from Island to replace this weekend. It arrived in time, but some dimwit has mishandled the padded envelope to the point where it was ripped open and one part of the kit is missing, the seal ring. I'm in Norway, where no land rover dealer will have...

Smell and symptoms sounds like sticky caliper and warped disc to me. If you've had the brakes done, i.e. new discs and pads, but no work done on the calipers, it's not unusual for them to go sticky. The thickness of the new pads moves the caliper along the sliding pin to a position that hasn't...

OK, thanks. I'll give it a miss then, especially since I just received the EAS cable and software from Keith. Henrik

Hi all, Has anybody tried this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/151130848279 If it works OK, it seams like a steal, compared to a faultmate or nanocom. Cheers, Henrik

Hi all, Update: I removed the existing controller and found it was a JFC102550, with a build date a couple of years after the car rolled off the line. This would probably mean that if any modifications had been needed to make it work, they would have been done already. Anyway, that was my logic...

If you're using jumpers to start, you will have to run them from the battery and down through the engine bay and out underneath the front bumper. The reason being that the bonnet needs to be properly closed before you can enter the EKA. It took me half a day to figure that out when this happened...

You wouldn't normally need a new compressor, only a piston seal and cylinder kit. Also, get a set of emergency inflation valves. These attach to the ends of the supply lines to the airbags and lets you inflate them with a tire pump. That means you can drive in safety and comfort even if the...

Thank you both. I'll give it a go this weekend. Henrik

Pete, Wammers, I had a quick look. It seems I have to remove the valve block to get at C139 / C140. Fine. But is it a similar connector to the more accessible one, C152 at the front right of the pump? I ask because this connector, at least, is quite sealed so I don't see how I would get at the...

Thanks Pete, I will have a look. It sounds plausible, as the EAS functions faultlessly most of the time. When it plays up, it usually starts with all the level lights lighting up, sometimes flashing, other times just constant, before the beeper goes off and I get the fault message in the...

Thanks both of you. Wammers: That connector in the footwell is non-existent. I removed it a couple of years back and soldered each individual connection and covered with shrink tube. Spiggy: Swapping the sensors seems like a clever idea. Can I remove them without having to re-sync the system? I...

Hi all, Car is a '97 4.6 HSE. Over the last few months, it has thrown up an EAS fault on approximately every 3 or 4 drives. I thought maybe my compressor was going weak, so I have just replaced the cylinder and piston seal, but that didn't help much. It does pressurise quicker and raises...
