Hi, I have a similar vehicle but never experienced this fault. Is the battery secure? could it be moving around and straining the connectors, also have the driveshafts/diff been changed on recall. If the driveshaft splines have gone the shaft will spin in the hub and the traction control will...

Well done Matt you go for it! 3 Month warranty is a good start and you should find any faults within that time period, just make sure everything is covered and there are no cop outs. Quote for the LPG conversion seems a little cheap, make sure you inform your insurance company of the conversion...

Hi Matt, you don't say whether it's diesel or petrol but service history is absolutely essential. There have been several recalls for driveshaft, diff and steering column upgrades which must have been done. The vogue is bristling with electrical toys so check they all work, you should have the...

Hi, The l322 does not need all the eka code input if the battery has been disconnected. After connecting the battery start the vehicle and turn the steering wheel full lock to the left and then right. The fault message will then go out once the steering position sensors have recalibrated...

I believe this engine is fitted with a Vanos unit which when breaking down gives the engine a tappety diesel knock from the top end. If you google Vanos unit there are some interesting videos where owners have recorded the noise and a BMW forum with a detailed stripdown of the top of the engine...

Hi Silver Fox Unfortunately it is not possible to reset your air suspension without the purchase of a Faultmate diagnostic box or similar as the later models (2003 0n) were not fitted with a port to allow repair diagnostics via a laptop. Unfortunately the kit required can cost upward of £1000...

Well done! Thats looks like a really great job, I wish I had the expertese to change my radio for a double DIN unit and reading your post confirms it's beyond my ability. How much do you recon it cost, and how long did it take? Well done again. Regards ian

Hi, Sorry is it petrol or diesel? If diesel they can suffer with injector failure which gives a rough lumpy idle but picks up at speed. Manual cars also suffer with duel mass flywheel issues which give a rough idle that needs a rev to smooth out.

Hi. I had similar faults on my 2003 HSE after a battery change. I too used a donor battery to save radio codes etc but had loads of faults after. It appears I was being too clever and the brief 24 V connection upset the electrics. I was advised to disconnect the battery for 15mins and then...

Hi, Yes the system must be reset before the new pump will function. When the dealer reset the fault previously they should have given you a list of the faults found. A common fault on this model is the failure of the pressure release valve MAV 500010. When it fails it will vent system pressure...

Hi, After having my 2003 L322 Diesel HSE over a year now I have experienced several irratating faults with the EAS system which would occasionally throw up a fault without warning. Each time a trip to the dealer to have the EAS reset would leave me £100 out of pocket. The 1st fault identified a...

Hi, After looking into this i have given up the idea of fitting an aftermarket unit, as the previous posts have said the double DIN unit is way too small and it would look awful. Even considered fitting the Vouge unit but whilst they are reasonably easy to source, the additional kit required to...

Running costs are going be an issue, but if you want cheap motoring then a Range Rover is not the vehicle. We average 20mpg round town and 30 ish on a run which I suppose is not bad for a 2.5 ton motor. New 20" scorpions can cost £200-£300 each. Main dealer servicing can be in excess of £500 for...

Hi, I bought a 2003 HSE last year and have been generally happy with it though there are a few things to be aware of with any 5 + year old vehicle. Ensure all the recalls have been attended to they have had major problems with driveshafts and front diff. The driveshaft should have been replaced...

Well over the last week the display on the Range Rover has finally faded away. It used to be the clock that was missing a few pixels which I could live with but now it's gone. After looking on this site and Google there are a couple of repair guys able to get these displays working again but I'm...

Treworgey, many thanks for your post. I love the defender it's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for, so much better than a van. It's silly things like opening the rear door that concern me, I'm in and out the van 20 times a day, will the rear door hinges and locks take that kind of abuse...

Thanks for the advice. The Renault will only do 25 -28 round town lugging stuff so I'm sure a 110 should be comparable. I guess i just fancy something more interesting. Presumably the newer the better or are there some older gems to be had, is the TD5 engine the one to go for or best avoided?

Hi, Usually I can be found in the shiny Range Rover pages but I'm fed up with my Renault trafic van and fancy a Defender to cart all my plumbing and heating tools, fittings and boiler parts around the Midlands. Whilst a 110 looks to be the beastie to go for, is it a practical motor to use...

Hi, Just changed the battery and now the airbag warning light is on continuiously. Tried to be really careful changing battery, used spare battery to keep voltage on system so I wouldn't lose any settings but now this. Airbag light flashes off for a second when ignition first turns on then back...

To ascertain which injector is failing remove the 3 top engine covers so the injector plugs are exposed. With the engine running pull the injector plugs off one at a time, a good injector will result in a noticable drop in engine revs and the engine will vibrate more, a duff injector will show...
