Hi Stew, You are right. They are weird. I guess the core is partly (not totally) clogged up and there is something wrong with the ECU or motors. When the car was under warranty the stealerhisp uploaded 3 different firmwares to no avail And self calibrating made a small difference. So I'll try a...

Hi all Sorry for such a long post but tried to explain as much and as best as I could. My LR3 (V8 4.4 7A MY) has been making us all suffer when the cold weather comes for the last 4 years -passenger side temp more or less ok -Driver's side: Feet temp ok, window defroster temp OK, face vent temp...

Hi, finally I followed your route. Took less than I imagined. Everything came out easily. housing had been changed earlier in 2010 judging from date stamped on components The pipe outlet from heads was past its sell by date. The locating pegs just broke with finger pressure and one of them had...

Den floor. ar all, for the last year i've experienced wet carpet syndrome (driver's) in my D2, more noticeably after snowing than raining, but also when raining. Headliner is OK, A-pillar is bone dry, bottom windscreen ok, sunroof drain pipes OK, sunroof drainpies hole in A-pillar bottom...

Well, I can feel I am in the same boat. Have driven nothint but LRs for the past 30 years. 1st one a Santana 88" from 1992 (imagine a Series III with D90 body and cart springs)made in Spain. Then my dad's RRC 300tdi powered (by far the most reliable), then a V8 D2, and a V8 LR3, and all them are...

Hi, Thank you all for your input. Yes, this is the roue I will go, the one you suggest: Remove TB and elbow. Only problem I see is the gaskets (these metal sheet gaskets do no seem to be reusable both TB to elbow and EGR to TB elbow), and the same can be said for the green rubber intake elbow...

Dear all. My LR3 needs new thermostat due to a leak in the bypass hose. looks coming from the plastic pipe which might eventually break 1st 'stat replaced in 2010 at 40K miles. Now it's turn of the 2nd, at 120K miles. I have just one question. Can you replace the whole housing (including the...

Hi, I am not sure. The CKP sensor (Crank position) has one specific error code but have never seen throw any of them. The typical CKP failure is a no-start or a cutting-off in the middle of nowhere and no start but, some 30-0dd minutes later, when the tow truck arrives, it starts 1st time, only...

Even though D2s and P38x (post XA) share the same engine, there is a particularity in D2 V8s 4.0 and 4.6 : The oil filter. Yes, it is mounted at an angle. BMW, at that time owner of LR, decided to make things more complicated and, in the place the oil filter bolts on, screwed a so called "oil...

Some days later, here are the pics. In the D2 left mount (dirvers' side) is a PITA, especially if your truck is ACE-equipped right side http://i67.tinypic.com/v5lguq.jpg Left side: remove intake tube and MAF, plug leads, complete exhaust manifold (because one of the studs broke). Almost no...

OOps, my Hoburn Eaton simply leaked, but my ZF went bang in a big way, took out the complete assy pulley, bearing and shaft. The replacement (ZF as well) is still soldiering on 5 years later on

Update: Mounts changed to 300 Tdi spec NTC9416. Shudder/judder in cold pull aways is almost gone, truck is much more silent. But.. what a PITA is to remove left hand mount upper nut, even removing complete air cleaner duct and exhaust manifold (that one because one exhaust stud was broken...)...

Thanks for the input! I'll go for the 300 Tdi ones. My RRC 300 Tdi still has the original ones after 22 years! Not the same can be said of my D2, though. So I'll get the 300 Tdi ones. Obviously I'll need new nuts FX112041Lx4 because the bolt of the stock D2 b8 ones looks of much smaller diameter...

Well, 6 years later... they are available AGAIN!!!! Yes, they are new, yes they offer the complete set, yes they are not cheap (almost 400 euros). Bripart has manufactured (or sourced) them somewhere else Part number DA6367 http://www.britpart.com/all-parts/da6367/ I guess they are the ones...

It has happened in D1s and D2s as well, even with OEM and gen-you-win master cyls. A friend of mine had the same problem after 5 minutes. They went crazy. It was something as stupid as the free play adjustment nut. For some reason the "new" cylinder had less tolerances and as soon as you fitted...
