Hi, Had a call from the garage testing the car to say it is spraying fuel over the back axle, not managed to get over there to look at the offending part. Had a look at Rave and from the testers description it sounds like the bi metallic valve. Has anyone ever changed this item, is it a common...

Apologies for jumping on the thread but my car does the same thing, occasionally the power steering goes heavy at parking speeds, other times it's fine. If the transducer is failing will it bring up a fault code? can the module be tested? is it an easy replacement? Many Thanks, Ian

After having a brilliant Disco 2 4.0 V8 Es several years ago I was lured to the dark side and having been running a L322 TD6 Range Rover for the last 3 years but miss the 7 seat option so am considering a Disco 3. I've seen a relatively nice 4.4 Se and whilst I don't expect great mileage does...

Would not any error throw up an air suspension fail message? Why would some faults be acceptable if the ride quality was compromised? Interesting Thread

I'm sorry Guys but I can't understand how there can be a 'luxury' setting within the ecu. To hold the car up there must be a certain pressure within the airbag, this does not change unless the car gets heavier, people get in or the boot is loaded. More pressure is then required to keep the...

Hi Mike, almost certainly the front lower suspension arm. You can change the bushes but it's really not worth it, it will be the ball joint which is goosed, just buy a pair of arms and remember to tighten up the bush bolts with the weight on the car not on the jack or they will squeak forever. I...

This worked for me:- Reset Procedure for your key fobs Every signal from the remote handset contains the transmitter identification code and a rolling code. The BCU checks the codes and only responds if the signal is from a valid transmitter. During vehicle production, the remote handsets...

Hi, Mine used to do this occasionally. If the wipers have been running for a few hours they would just suddenly stop. Leaving them 5 mins and they would start again.. very worrying. I changed the wiper relay and they have been fine since. Hope it helps.

Hi, The service continues and I thought I would have a look at the egr valve as I know they can be troublesome. After fetching it off it all looks a little oily with some carbon deposits but I would like to check it's operation. Does any clever person out there know what kind of pressure is...

Hi Everyone, Just dashed out to complete an oil service before our holidays and have uncovered a crankcase filter element on the left hand side of the engine under the injector harness. It appears to have a diaphram control of some sort, but I can find no evidence of the item on Rave. Anyone...

Hi, The gearbox failed on my TD6 HSE just before christmas, didn't give too much warning just a bit slow to get going in the morning and kickdowns were a bit harsh. Changed oil but failed completely at 87000 miles. Torque convertor failed leading to resultant bits being drawn into box and...

Hi Just a quick post to confirm Saint.V8 correct diagnosis. Undid the suspension arms and let the vehicle settle with the cars weight on, then tighten, all now good, note to self to read rave before undertaking maintenance in future. Still no joy with the tracking, no one wants to touch it...

Many thanks Saint V8, appreciate your assistance, hope I haven't knackered the new bushes. I would like to check/adjust the tracking now but my local quick fit wont touch it saying it has to go to a main dealer... is this true?

Hi All, Changed both lower suspension arms last week as had a pronounced clonk going over potholes, sure enough the nearside balljoint was well worn. However since changing the arms I now have a pronounced creak when turning the wheel or going over bumps which is driving me crazy. Is there a...

Hi All, I need a couple of lower suspension arms as I'm getting a pronounced clonk going over potholes now. I am confused as to whether to go for a cheaper pattern part at under £30 each or the OEM part at £100. Has anyone had any experience with the cheaper alternative or am I asking for...

Hi, Having problems with the Power Steering at Low speed. I'm sure the system is supposed to be variable depending on road speed with low asistance at motorway speeds. Currently the effort to turn the wheel is constant making it a real pain to park. Does any of you clever people know how the...

Hi eightinavee, No electro-telepathy required, just a little experience. My vehicle exhibited the exact same fault before Christmas before leaving me stranded in a dark Devon country lane, and the well documented fragility of the GM gearbox failing after 80k miles leads me to suspect the box...

Hi Edmore, Sorry chap but your gearbox is just about to die. Probably torque convertor failure with the resulting bits killing the autobox. Budget for £1500 for replacement or if you are in the Midlands PM me for a transmission specialist who rebuilt mine. In the meantime don't go far and join...

Hi, had the same problem myself just before Christmas. Trans fail prog message then no drive and had to be recovered from Devon. Spoke to a couple of people I know at Land Rover and they recommended a company called Transmission Technology in Solihull. They arranged collection of the vehicle...

After spending all day yesterday trying to sort out an EAS failure on my L322 TD6, the car still would not raise the rear off the bumpstops.I must have reset the control 20 times with my EAS kicker only to have it fail on startup with the failure message indicating the compressor was knackered...
