Shouldn't need it, as long as it was a like for like swap. What's the problem?
Not got a chance to look yet, getting round there today

Just a question before I start, my elderly neighbour owns a dse auto, he had the gearbox changed by his son, but there’s a problem still apparently, my question is, do they have to be reset with nano ,, I’ve not read faults yet, but anything to check would be helpful, and I get to finally use nano, lol

So my saga continues, Sunday I fired her up to go out with the dog, and after a minute it shut down like I’d pulled a lead off, was instant, the battery was zapped of all juice at the same time, I’m thinking there’s a dead short somewhere, so it’s going into garage ( nice and warm ) and I’m gonna play till I find the problem, I suppose 5 years with no problems was good,, but now it’s gonna retaliate 🤣😂

Bet that’s put you in a dilemma, H&H or 50th,, happy new year mate

Happy new year to all 💥🎉🎊

If it’s had 1 bag changed, I would look at changing them all, a single bag change is a no no, as for you not being able to con each EAS software, check under the left seat, make sure it has a 5 pin relay, without it you can do certain things on the EAS, mine is swapped to a 4 ( it stops the self levelling when parked) but I keep the 5 pin in the glovebox

Merry Christmas everyone,, I’m out today putting new window reg in mine, although god knows why,,, lol

Christmas??? Is it??? I've been in Grimsby hospital for the last twelve days. 😢😢 hoping to escape by the weekend.

Get well soon mate.

Yes, I fitted a new one as a precaution, if I catch it and it fires up, 5 minutes running and it cranks over like a mini with a lorry battery on, when I cleaned the movement sensor, I got 8-9 days before it went into drain mode, I think I’m gonna have to get it down to my stepfathers garage in the next week or so and spend some time playing with it, I can’t do it out in the cold, 20 mins and I’m in agony,,

Lighter, I’ve got self igniting blow torch,, lol, it’s most probably something really silly, but when you go out and it’s touch and go wether or not it will be flat it gets annoying, especially this year as my arthritis has kicked in hard, so not very mobile ☹️

So, it’s back, came out yesterday and dead battery, this is driving me insane, any ideas before I torch the bloody thing.. 🔥

Ahhh,
I suspect then that the rear lenses have been changed as all of the Rangies I have owned, or seen on the road or at the breakers yards have had clear lenses and amber bulbs. Must be a DOT thing?
As this truck has also been re sprayed, they must have bought Canadidian lenses for it as well?
As for shift? Yep, goes into Low and back no issues, just very little fuss. No flashing lights, no beep, and just a clunk and a single letter indication of H or L on the dash.
Consistently inconsistent! That's the true Range Rover tradition!
Happy Holidays all!
Heading out the door for another 1500 mile R/T in our trusty Bolt to So Cal for Family madness..........

Have a good one 👍

Mines on 158k, I changed the engine at 156k for a low mileage one, the original was in need of a full rebuild, the rest of the car has pretty much been overhauled in the 5 yrs I’ve owned it

The lids and screw hole can leak, as can the seal to the fans, so I’m afraid it’s both that could leak

I always use wellseal, it’s used at most engine rebuild shops

Great spot! So your P38 is slowly edging away from the flames?

I’d say the lighter is still in my hand, it better behave,, 😂🤣

So to cut a long story short, I had an intermediate battery drain, I did the usual tests a few times, but it never showed anything, I replaced battery, power and earth leads, starter ( as would crank slowly, then fast), alternator and fitted one of Marty and nicks RF filters, all to no avail, so the other morning at 4am I was bored, so went out to the car, again a flat battery, I sat comfy with my cup of tea and again locked the doors, low and behold it didn’t go to sleep ( had on 2 previous tests)
So sitting there with thoughts of setting fire to it I started thinking what would cause it, I started at the pir sensor, pulled it out, blew into the sensors, sprayed the electrical connectors, plugged it back in and low and behold the bugger when to sleep, so £350 spent was down to either dust or a dirty connection,, been fine for past 5 days ( used to get hours sometimes) so looks like it’s cured,,👍

Edit, PIR is not a PIR, it’s a UMD or a USMD, but I know what I meant

Seems as though he likes his vogue se stickers, who ever picked that mix on the autobiography needs shooting 🤢🤮

Do you have a stainless exhaust system ? They seem to like the steam train effect in the cold weather, not sure if they retain some moisture ?

I did the heads on one that poured steam afterwards, never did get to the bottom of it, the guy sold it,, if you have a hg gone, pull the plugs, one will be extremely clean compared to the others, start rh back, that’s the favourite for going
