Range Rover Blues

That's right, also the same Ferguson company that produced the 4wd system for the protortype XJ220 Jaguar, and in 1969 were producing protortype Ford Zodiac estate cars with Feguson FF 4wd and vacuum anti-lock brakes. Then the Range Rover was launched and the police said "oh, we'll have that instead then".

I find having something I really ought to do makes fixing the Range Rover all the more appealing. But I know how you feel. About 18 months ago I spent a lot of my free eve's and weekends restoring a RRC for my sister, it had a new 3.9 engine and she liked the colour. Anyway, it gto totalled the other week and I can't be a***d fixing up another one.

Are you sat down From a stealer, eithe rbonded on non-bonded front heated screen comes in at over £530 Fitted, my bonded front screen weighed in at £826

I bought Rovacom so I could fix the later Classics, it's easy peasy to recallibrate the EAS. My LSE sits an inch lower on standard and way lower than that on low profile, but you should see it on high All you do is measure the ride heights (eyebrow heights) which if you are unsure should be 790mm floor to wheelarch at each corner, plus or minus about 7mm. The diferent profile settings are in your handbooks. I'm in South Yorks if anyone needs their EAS hooked up. Bring beer tokens. P.S I much prefer the soft dash, with the possible exception of the rear wash/wipe switch.

Sorry but I have to dissagree. If I were fitting an EFi system to a kit car I'd go for a hotwire from a 3.9 or 4.2. These are a much more robust system than the 3.5 flapper, for which VAF sensors are hard to find, and will cope with small amounts of tuning on the 3.9, eg a sports pipe and K&N, so will cope with more on the 3.5. That said, a pair of EFi heads, 3.9 cam and sports pipe will see you with a good few extra horses in an engine that will still start first go. You could pick up a ful hot-wire system for under £200, £150 of that being the ECU, so if you get that cheaper all the better. All the info for testing an EFi system at home with a multi meter can be found in the back of the Haynes manual for RRC. If you wanmt to go crazy with it RPI will supply a Tornado chip for about £350. This EFi system is what's in my mate's TVR 430HC and that's good for over 300BHP.

If it's not too late Beng, I can recomend ME to do the reprograming of the Range Rover Classic EAS system. I own a copy of Rovacom and I don't live to far from you I think. And BTW the garage is talking pants. When you swap a height sensor the callibration in the ECU is wrong for that one wheel, so you need to recallibrate it. The original testbook sequence involcved taking the bump stops off and using callibrated block in their place and logging the height data, then inputting the same values as target heights. Rovacom makes it so much easier. I also like to have mine at non-standard height, it rides 1 inch lower. In an afternoon I completely 'mapped' my suspension for future reference and reprogramed all the available height settings, now it takes me 5 minutes to reprogram the EAS to whatever I choose, towing, fast road, greenlaning.
