I have an 'add-on' product that slides into a tow hitch receiver and acts as a locking safe box for an extra key (for when you are at the beach, camping, etc).... but due to the angle of the tow hitch setup, the piece does not slide in all the way.

Does anyone have any recommendations, know of a fix for this problem?

I have been hard at work for the past few months, diving into the communications systems on the 2003-2005 MKIII Range Rover. Since I purchased my 2003 Range Rover, I have already had several major problems with the different systems. So I put hundreds of hours researching and investigating the different sommunications protocols in the 2003-2005 Range Rover.

I have had made a tremendous ammount of positive progress. I have been able to work through the MKIII Range Rover EAS system communications protocol. I have incorporated the MKIII Range Rover EAS communications protocol into a self contained hand-held device called the "EAS Activate MKIII". The EAS Activate MKIII will read and clear the stored EAS fault codes.

I will continue to work towards getting a comphrensive software kit for the MKIII Range Rover. Please feel free to send me your stories about your troubles and or systems in the vehicle that have given you trouble. I will get to work finding soluions as quickly as possible. ]]> Range Rover P38, Mk III and Range Rover Sport Malafax_dand http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/rsw-solutions-new-product-eas-activate-mkiii-36742/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/p38-performance-air-filters-36726/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:24:09 GMT Anyone using one?

It's gone to the dealer under warranty and supposedly it was fixed.

Problem is I place the key in the ignition and nothing happens. Everything lights up fine, but no ignition. The first couple of times it happened I had it towed and repairs (supposedly) made by the dealer.

Last time it happened I towed it to the dealer and they said they could not find the problem. They did find fuse 39 was blown, but could not locate the fault.

Anyone know why fuse 39 would blow regularly?

I've had usual problems in the past (chirping, dead batteries, issue with key remote entry). I've also recently replaced the alternator.

Thanks in advance! ]]> Range Rover P38, Mk III and Range Rover Sport texrover http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/mkiii-fuse-39-blown-ignition-disabled-36620/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/obdii-36611/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:52:30 GMT :)Anyone have a suggestion for a manufacterer?

EAS Fault this morning and the car dropped down to the 'entry' level. I followed the instructions in the mfg manual to no avail. It appears that I have a hard fault and so there are a few questions.

First, do I need to go to the dealer to reset the fault if I plan to repair it myself. Or will the software from RSWSolutions.com allow me to reset faults? I am wanting to look up the faults myself so that I can determine what needs to be replaced. At the time of the problem, I heard the compressor running even after the car was shut off. This leads me to believe there is a leak in the system somewhere. I thought about replacing the compressor and cylinders to see if the it corrects the problem.

Second, has any one elected to go with spring conversions? I am assuming that you lose the ride height funcations of the OEM suspension with this. Anyone do the installs themselves. Any pointers?

Has anyone replaced the air springs with air springs themselves? Is it as straightforward as the manufacturers say?

Any insight one has on this is greatly appreciated. This car has 80K on it and is not worth spending a truckload of cash on. I am mechanically inclined, but I want to hear from my mechanically inclined friends about these repairs!:beer: ]]> Range Rover P38, Mk III and Range Rover Sport btoft http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/eas-questions-36610/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f39/2004-land-rover-36582/ Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:03:30 GMT I want to come back to the Land Rover family.
