I use 20w50 in my 4.2, usually Millers Classic or one of the known makes, but it's more important that you change it regularly with V8s in my opinion. I don't usually leave it in there for much longer than 3000 miles or 6 months but that's just me. Graham. 1994 RRC LSE 1952 80" 1965 109 SW (Sold)

Thank you.

Sorry for the highjack but could you enlighten me as to where you found the download please? Thanks Graham.

That's excellent, thank you both as well. Graham.

Many thanks to both of you for your help, I'll see how I get on. Thanks Graham.

Hello I am looking for a workshop manual that covers my 1994 LSE. It obviously has the 4.2 engine but all manuals I've seen so far stop at 1992 or only cover the 3.5 and 3.9 variants. Any help would be gratefully appreciated thank you. Graham.

Thanks for that wilf, I've bought a complete heater panel with bulb holders in it as mine was cracked anyway, so will see what it's like when it arrives and will come back to you if necessary. Many thanks Graham.

Hello Michael Thanks for that. The reason I'm asking is because I have seen a drivers door on E-bay and the chap says it's off a 1988 car and thought it was Ardennes green but I didn't think it was so I'll keep looking for one. I'm hoping to find one that I don't have to spray, you see. Thanks again Graham.

Hello Could anyone tell me if they produced Ardennes Green in 1988 please? Thank you.

Thanks for that Steve.

Hello I removed the heater control panel from my '92 Vogue as only one light was working but found the reason for the others not working was that at least one of the male spade connectors on each of the bulb holders was snapped off. Could somebody please tell me if it is possible to buy these bulb holders and also how do you remove them from the back of the panel because I have tried pulling and twisting but they don't seem to want to budge. Alternatively, has anyone got a spare panel please complete with lights as a PO has obviously overdone it when refitting and has cracked the panel where the screw goes through. Many thanks Graham.

Many thanks for that, I have now ordered metric calipers, discs, pads, bolts etc. so hopefully they should all fit. I'll let you know how I get on. Graham. (Please excuse my naivety but what's a softie?)

Hello I need to order new discs and pads for my 92/93 vogue 3.9 and will probably order a set of caliper bolts as well as they are proving to be a pain to remove, and depending what I find new calipers might be required as well. When I look on the various dealers websites they ask if they are metric or imperial, can anyone please tell me or do I need the axle number? Many thanks Graham.

Thank you once again for all the advice. I'll go with the resistor plugs as I have them "in stock" and see how it performs and I'll try them at 26/27 thou. I've ordered new genuine plug leads, cap and rotor arm and will put them on one at a time and try each of them a day and see if the performance changes. As I said, she seems to be running fine as it is but I can't resist renewing some things.At least I know I have good spares of everything. I'll use 20/50 as I buy it in 25 ltr. drums, and also put it in my 80", and because I probably change it far too often anyway so it sounds like it should be okay. I renewed the oil in the engine , diffs and transfer box this morning and started soaking the bleed nipples on the calipers this afternoon in readiness for a brake fluid transfusion next weekend. I'll get the mechanical bits right first and then start on the wire brush and waxoil. Thanks again Graham.

Gentlemen, you are all such stars. I am overwhelmed at such generousity with your knowledge of Range Rovers it is quite remarkable. Thank you so much for all your help and advice, and I will try my best not to burden you with too many questions in the future, but I'm afraid that my leap from Series ownership to the seemingly heady heights of Range Rovers does appear quite large at the moment, and therefore my presence may be quite a regular habit. I'm looking forward to the weekend and my real chance to aquaint myself with my new purchase. Many thanks once again Graham.
