We are generally out and about touring or belting about the bush with friends (both landrover and other generic brands) at least once a month and try to capture some of the highlights for each trip to share with fellow enthusiasts.

Drop by and have a squiz and please leave a comment if you feel so inclined.

For those in Australia, we'll hopefully see you at the Landrover Expo at Castle Hill on the 26th of this month and will hopefully have some more mods bolted on by then.

Cheers

When i come back i saw temp needle dancing between two blue lines on right. It doesn't look like actual overheating. All the way back home (50km) temp and needle was fine (in center). Just for curiosity i done same test under my house in parking and after 20 mins (EXACTLY) again temp needle started dancing between two blue lines. What triggers here which react only at idle and after 20 min only. I own this car since 6 months and NEVER means NEVER temp gauge or car has overheated, even at 52 degree temp in daytime in June July in Dubai even at idling for more than 30 mins.

Is it ground issue?
Is it water temp sensor issue?
Or something else?

Or its me with black tongue, as same day few hrs prior to this incident i instructed my wife that whenever you leave car at idle for long, keep checking the temp gauge as any car overheat more at idling than running. Never knew my Rangie is so sensitive and can hear all this to show me same in less than 2 hrs time. ]]> Range Rover P38, Mk III and Range Rover Sport Gaurav http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/temperature-gauge-dancing-when-idle-more-than-20-mins-44706/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/2004-hse-rr-dumping-water-44674/ Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:54:51 GMT I've had every cooling component replaced within the last year. Just recently I've noticed puddles of water (not coolant) under the vehicle. Then I received a low coolant warning. The air conditioning runs most of the time but didn't think it would condensate that much. We are talking quite a bit of water.
Has anyone else had an issue like this before? Any recommendations?

I noticed that the AC, radio and other dash light indicators did come on. The car started on a second turn of the key. This same pattern continued for a couple of weeks. I took to a reputable Range Rover specialist who told me it definitely was not a battery issue but that he could not diagnose or repair the problem without replicating the problem I was having. This was somewhat of a surprising answer to me, but he continued by saying that he didn't want to charge me for installation of a new starter if that was not the issue.

Over the last couple of weeks the problem seemed to vanish but over the last 2 days, the issue has reappeared and is now taking 3, 4, 5 and sometimes more attempts to start the car before the engine actually comes on. I have noticed a slight "tic" when i turn the key and as before, the AC, radio and dash light indicators all power on although the engine does not.

Please let me know your recommendations and what you suggest I do. I feel it is a matter of time before I get stranded. ]]> Range Rover P38, Mk III and Range Rover Sport gwellman http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/ignition-problems-2006-range-rover-sport-hse-44515/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/abs-pressure-switch-will-fit-44506/ Sat, 28 Aug 2010 17:30:33 GMT I am trying to confirm if the abs pressure switch for a 92' Jaguar XJ6 is interchangeable with a 99' Range Rover 4.0SE abs pressure switch?

I was lucky enough to be given a '95 Range Rover 4.0SE, the catch is that the PO seized up the engine when his car over heated.

A main radiator hose burst and he didn't pull off the road in time...

So I have this great Black Land Rover, I always wanted it, but unfortunately he ruined it before I got it.

So my question is, should I attempt to replace the engine or just part it out?

I have never swapped an engine before, but I have plenty of experience elsewhere...

If Eng. Is running on idle and I just touch the throttle pedal a few mm momentarily, engine revīs immediately to 1100 rpm then slowly to 1300 rpm for about 4 sec then goes back to normal.
If eng is running on idle and I push the throttle pedal just a few mm and hold it there, the engine immediately revīs up to approx 2000 rpm then slowly goes to approx 2400 rpm and stays until throttle is released. Then it goes back to 1100 rpm and after 4 sec back to normal idle.
