Hi, Decided to change the leads on the V8 as had a bit of a misfire when it was warm. What a nightmare having to lie on top of the engine and try and get the leads off. Anyway No 4 lead on the right hand coil pack broke off leaving a bit of lead in the coil. Can't get anything onto it to pull it...

Hi and apologies if this has been covered before. I have a misfire on number 4 cylinder and think the HT lead is failing. Can anyone offer some advice on how to change them as it looks an impossible job to access the coil pack at the rear of the engine. Presumably the bonnet needs to come off...

As a recent returning disco owner I am well acquainted with 10ish miles to the gallon, (V8 ES 2001 7 seater) dreadful turning circle and cold shower in the rear from leaking sunroofs, but I just can't remember the vehicle having such a terrible ride. Modern potholed roads have the car shuddering...

Hi, Yes I put the eka code in as per your instructions and waited the 5 mins for the alarm light to go out which it did with a little click in the door lock. Turned key and off it went. I suppose Ill have to leave it unlocked now as the fob doesn't work and if I use the key in the door it will...

Neilly, Thank you so much, have managed to get the car working again but still wont work on the key fob. Why my handbook should be so different is a mystery. Is there a procedure to resynch the keys to the alarm. Will see how much a nanocom is. Thanks again

Hi Thanks for the information I have dug out the paperwork and on one of the receipts there is an eka code listed of 12/12/03/07. I have tried to put this code in as per my manual but the key directions left and right are opposite to the instructions you have kindly posted. I think its upset now...

Hi Everyone, Had this 2001 V8 for a week and its been great. Went to it this morning and wouldn't unlock off the fob, opened the door with the key and alarm went off (Sunday morning aaaagh) Everything comes on with the ignition but can't stop this damn alarm. Should the alarm be deactivated by...

Picked up a very nice V8 Es 2001 Auto today which needs a few bits and pieces sorted but generally in very good condition. Drove is back on the motorway and it cruised very nicely but I thought it felt a bit busy with the revs being higher than I remember. It's been a few years since we had a...

Hi All, hope you can help. Had a 4.0 ES disco 2 back in 2001 which we ran for 6 years before getting involved with Range Rovers, other than it's great thirst we loved it, especially the ride and with the ACE pack it sort of handled. I now feel the need for another Disco in my life and have seen...

Hi, Just before I sold the Range I updated the stereo and did quite a lot of research as to the different makes. I went for this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUTORADIO-DVD-GPS-NAVI-BLUETOOTH-IPOD-RADIO-Player-RANGE-ROVER-HSE-02-04-HL8725-/250814210443?hash=item3a65b1218b Mainly because it was...

Hi All, After 6 years of Range Rover ownership the time has come to let her go. It's been a brilliant vehicle and other than the gearbox letting go suddenly and a massive problem with the K bus system when the headlight levelling module got wet it has been generally very reliable. I would...

Hi, I can't believe on the hottest day of the year the air con is now playing up. Only got full cold air on passenger side. Drivers air is warm and stale. Went to see the local quick fit boys who checked the gas and compressor and said all was ok, didn't charge either. When the heater...

As an owner of a HSE I have always felt like the poor relation when looking at the Vogue owners with their fancy touch screens and sat nav. So with the pixels on my display slowly fading away to nothing, it was time for an upgrade. After spending months looking at the options I decided on a...

Hi, As it's been warming up recently the air conditioning has been in more use and I have noticed a faint, but definite wheezing or sighing noise from the vents when it is turned on. The air is really cold out of the vents but I'm not sure the wheezing should be there. Do you think a recharge...

+1 ABS Sensor. Lost offside rear sensor a few months ago after going through a deep Ford. System ABS pulses defective wheel as gets no signal it's rotating, if you drive through it, system throws up ABS, Air Susp fault. Car runs fine.

Hi, You need to get it on diagnostics but would suspect a k bus error. probably caused by the headlight levelling ecu in the passenger footwell being underwater. Remove trim at bottom of A post inside the car and fish for the ecu. When my ecu went, lost steering, air susp, central locking, alarm...

Hi All, I've had the Range Rover 5 years now and it's been great, but all this time it has had a very noisy engine. The car runs fantastically and is smooth and powerful with great economy, but the noise is driving me mad. I'm at the point now where I can lay the car up for a while and get it...

After parking the Range on the road whilst the drive has been resurfaced, some blind #### has knocked the door mirror off, not only broken the glass but smashed the thing into pieces leaving it dangling by wires. Looking on ebay they seem to be in the order of £450 - £550 for the early models...

Hi Just Bumping this post as we have now found the fault. Headlamp levelling ecu found to be underwater in the nearside A post. Took out the unit, dried out the area it fits in, and cleaned the plugs and connections. Ecu miraculously appears to be still working and the car is now working...

Hi All, Still suffering with a dead Range Rover but hopefully now the allcomms kit has arrived I can get to grips with the problem. Most of the modules won't 'link' with the computer, the few that will I have managed to read and reset the faults. The main fault that won't reset is a K-bus fault...
