Not Had it with the 90
« on: December 20, 2005, 09:14:43 »
OK, since my last posting of "Had it with the 90" i have slept, found and fixed the problem, and come to my senses....... I cant get rid of it, not at least until i can afford to buy a newer model, and start all over again  :?

I also vow to listen more to peoples suggestions, when i ask for help on fixing the problem, as all the problem turned out to be was the Glow Plugs not heating due to a frayed and disconnected connection  :oops:

so many thanks to all that helped, and a very merry Christmas to you all (or Barr humbug to those that are non seasonal  :twisted: )

I had a lot of trouble with my P38 Range Rover.  I know that sinking feeling you get when the damn thing conks out yet again...  despite so many visits to the garage.

In the end I found somebody who diagnosed 2 intermittent faults, one with the air mass flow meter and the other with the crank sensor.  Once those were rectified, the car ran like a dream.

So as gutting as it is when things go wrong, just think how pleased you'll be when it starts becoming reliable!

i think to expect it to become reliable may be pushing it a bit  :P

but lets face it, it would be the same any other way.......  :?
