If the spare engine is good I'd just give it a quick going-over and stuff it in ;-)

Hi! That looks very tidy :-) A few folk on here have fitted top-hatted blocks and I'm sure they'll be able to help.

I connected the identical plugs into the wrong receivers.

It's a stupid bit of design, that.

Now their place is burned to the ground they can't even give assistance or anti-freeze.

I know their customer service wasn't the greatest but isn't that a bit drastic? :-D

I guess the first thing to do would be to grab a copy of RAVE and start looking at the diagram for the tail lights.

They're controlled by the BECM, which will also give you warnings if the bulbs are out. You can ring out the wiring from the BECM to the lamp cluster to make sure there's no bad connections, or a poor earth. If the BECM is actually faulty then @Martyuk is yer man ;-)

It's on both gas and petrol. Previously they would start to switch quite happily about a minute after starting from cold.

Surely if they're not powered in open loop they will never heat up enough to start working and prevent it going into closed loop?

Yeah, I mean right now if you email me images I'll stick them up on the server. I just need to get the backend stuff updated and I can start building the uploader page.

The pumps do fail, and you can swap them around to test.

Would anyone who has pics up on Photobucket (with the attendant "linking disabled, gimme my moneyz" image taking the place of sensible stuff) like them transferred over to rrpub, as part of the ongoing updates?

Wouldn't bother changing the engine, I'd just throw a set of heads on it. Spitting back and missing on one cylinder sounds like a burnt valve.

Yeah, not interested in "going corporate". If you fancy sending me lots of money to pay for hosting, Range Rover parts or beer, PM me for my paypal address :-D

I have considered - in a later iteration of the site, once I get a few more things working properly - sticking some Google ads on for not-logged-in users so the Russian spam farmers can pay some of the hosting costs...

So I stuck new lambda sensors in my Rangie and sure enough they made sod all difference. It would appear that the lambda sensor heaters aren't being grounded by the ECU to turn them on.

Are there any funny situations where the ECU wouldn't just enable the sensor heaters?

Hi, good to see more new folk :-)

Unscrew the silencer and see if air is coming out when the compressor is running. The diaphragm valve may have split.

I know exactly how I'd do it, but I don't have enough keys / BECMs / receivers kicking around.

@Martyuk - STM32F103, can drop it down to sub-mA levels in sleep mode. Fire up a new thread, we'll see what we can come up with ;-)

That green diesel actually looks not too bad for the money. Pop along with an EAS cable and sort its shit out, and you've got a decent motor. Well, once you've put proper wheels on ;-)

I'm tempted to wade in with the comment that less than 200 miles range and no EV recharging points would leave me stuck at least three times a week, which is why it'll take a lot to replace my clunky old £750 banger on LPG, but then I'd have to create a P*st*nh**ds account.

Doubt it'll be the transfer motor if it doesn't do anything at all when you put it in low range...

Hi! Welcome aboard :-)
