  1. I had a look there but wasn't sure what it meant... that there are two for the rrc one for the 3.5 and one for the 3.9 or that there are two one for the auto and one for the manual?

    Classic: One for the 3.5, the other for the 3.9, difference being the temp gauge.

    38a: One for manual, one for auto.

  2. Er

    as in the 2nd one,

    but closer and with the bonnet up, ...............as in a pic of the Engine

    Why? The first pic shows clearly it has the high fuel filler, so it was built between 92 and 94, so it is a hotwire.

    Work carefully through the test sheets on rangie.com if the fault is related to the injection system, check timing and O2 sensors.

    PS: None of my RR ever had a problem consuming fuel - they indeed manage to consume quite a lot of that :-))

  3. The window you have is glued in, probably the snorkel was built for the older version with rubber seal.

    What you can do is simply cut the rubber bezel such that the snorkel fits. The bezel neither holds the screen nor does it seal.

  4. WOW Carsten du hast unglaublich viel Arbiet rein gesteckt........

    Respekt!!!!!

    Thanks!

    The original plan was to cut aft the A-post, replace lower A-post and the rear part of the bodyshell. Rusty reality made us adjust plans which is why its still waiting for completion.

  5. Yes and Yes.

    If you have 4-door seats alone it is hard. If you have worn-out 2-door seats you have all the parts you need. The main difference is in the way bottom and rear are connected - the frames are identical. What I did was to fit the rear frame of 2-door seats to the base and cushions from a 4-door softdash.

    Rear bench works well, later 2-doors already have the right mounting holes. Only you have to adapt the catch from the 4-door or get the expensive CSK version.

    Pictures of both things are here. Text is German, but pics international.

  6. I changed a 4.2 for the 4.6 - direct swap without problems. All well described on RPIs site.

    At first I used the old settings which worked OK. Adding a Tornado chip (what I did - or, cheaper and more flexible, Megasquirt) improves things quite a bit though.

  7. What error message is stored in the Airbag ECU? Will the horn work if you shorten the respective cables under the dash? If the first one is related to the drivers airbag and the sencond answer is yes these faults should be related to the coupler. It might work intermittantly but airbag faults will not clear by themselves.

    If the other faults are related the BECM might have started to pack up.

  8. Interested to hear what you find.

    It took some time for me to look under the hood, I admit, but finally I found that you were absolutely right. It looked as if the vacuum went into the stepper, but it does not.

  9. After my recent offroad exploits I have found that the Rangie suddenly handles like it is on jelly! The back end feels is if it is going to brake away at any moment. Overtaking is a nightmare, when you pull back in after the overtake the car leans and lurches and is just generally horrible to drive.

    My Classic felt like this when the steering rod end had gone south.

    Cheers

    PS: Might be the bushes aswell :-)))
