    Freelander 2 (LR2) Manual mode isn't manual - gearbox remapping??

    You probably just have to do it properly. If you don't activate the kickdown, it'll hold 2nd. Full torque request is reached before the kickdown is activated. It's a saftey feature that makes a lot of sense. What if you need to suddenly accelerate, but have forgotten you're in manual mode etc...

    Disco 4 SDV6 How to ascertain Engine swap compatibility

    My brother in law had a RR Sport TDV6 installed into his 2014 Disco 4. It just has to be done right. There is no coding, because you are only swapping the mechanicals - the electronics will remain the same. I don't know what extent of ancilliaries need swapping, but things like exhausts or...

    Worth new clutch

    But if you'd decided to buy a car for 3 grand, the clutch could have crapped out in 6 months anyway. I never understand why people relate the cost of a repair to the value of the car - it needs to be compared to a REPLACEMENT car that's worth buying. I think you made the right choice -...

    Car Impounded After Driver Presents License That Expired Almost 50 Years Ago

    There was an old guy in a town a bit north of here (northern NZ, Kerikeri) who's car was not road legal for something like 15 or 20 years! It was in the 80's and 90's, so no tech to find it, but how often would a respectable old fulla get pulled over in his Rolls-Royce? 🤪

    The Guessing Game

    No idea, but it looks suspiciously like a bracket for a handbrake cable, or similar.

    Disco 1 V8 Vacuum advance unit

    The Disco 1 V8 uses ported vacuum, not manifold vacuum. That's why it's not advanced at idle, but advances at part throttle, such as when cruising, and just off idle.

    Electrical or computer starting problems

    Did anyone check any basics? Is the click from the starter solenoid? or a relay? Hook a buzzer up to the starter motor, and if it buzzes, but doesn't start, the system is working and the starter is faulty. Work you way back through the system using the wiring diagram, until you find the fault...

    Range Rover L322 - not turning over

    What voltage was it? Try Neutral, instead of park.

    I would just like to say

    Our Dyson got thrown out on the lawn. Loud as ****, high pitched whiney useless peice of crap. Didn't suck dry ricebubbles up of the hard floors! Basically an electric broom - pushed everything to the side and then had to sweep it up :rolleyes: I got a Henry now - they're fairly expensive and...

    L322 TD6 FBH

    Be aware, the gauge will show "normal" well before the engine is at full temp, and for a long time after it gets too hot , as well ;) I don't know the exact numbers, but for that engine (M57) in a BMW E39, the gauge will show straight up and down from 65C to about 115 or 120C.

    discovery v8 snorkel

    I think the versions for ABS equipped vehicles have to be longer? Seems to ring a bell anyway.

    Discovery 1 MAF 14 CUX

    The CO trim can be adjusted by removing the bung from the maf and carefully adjusting it. Ive seen higher fuel temps than that on ine, but probably while running, parked - it probably runs cooler with more airflow in the engine bay. Coolant seems correct - I think Standard thermostats are...

    Result! Maybe don't use that garage again 🤣

    Discovery 1 MAF 14 CUX

    The Operation Pride tunes had different parameters for cold starts under -22C, so there must be some capacity for those measurements. Weirdly, his tune is R3704, which I've never seen online anywhere, and Op Pride was R3652, plus there was a couple of other, like R3654. I've never seen any...

    Discovery 1 MAF 14 CUX

    Coolant temp sensor is poked - fuel temp is probably normal? - it gets hot, being to close to the motor and heads. Change the temp sensor for a good quality one. If it's 30c outside, and the engine is actually at 90-something, then is REALLY overfuelling at -16C - it'd be like having an old...

    Discovery 1 MAF 14 CUX

    Nice! The code for the coolant sensor is triggered by it being WAY out of range (or, usually, open circuit) - I assume the -16C reading was VERY wrong? You may have a wiring, or sensor issue there. The other one, where the fuel temp is 91C, but cooltant is 35C, seems off to?? There is a...

    Discovery 1 MAF 14 CUX

    Oof. I bet that was exciting :vb-doh: I think you're having a misfire, or leaking injector - either way, it appears you've had some fual vapour accumulate int he exhaust, and it's been ignited. In the old days, we use to do this for fun... Turn off the ignition, pump the gas and turn it back...

    Discovery 1 MAF 14 CUX

    That's why I like auto-ranging, like on my Fluke meter 🤓 So, very liekly your meter is like most: when set on 20K, the 1.58 mean 1K58 or 1580 Ohms - thats plausible for a temp of around 30-something C? The 0.22 would be right up there, with your Viscous fan locked, very close to 100C - seems...
