    I did pop off the engine cover and had a general look around, couldn't see any thing obviously split or broken. Thanks for the list rar110, not a lot more I can check in Newman caravan Park. Just hope that everything hangs in there. Cheers Marty

    TDV8 engine issue possibly

    You really need to take the intercooler hose off to check properly. I've read a few times people saying the hose looked ok only to take it off and find a split.

    Only two screw clamps. The top hoses are very accessible. If split it can easily be temporarily fixed with rescue tape.

    Yea I had another look after your last message, I'll get them off tomorrow and have a quick look. The bad side as a minimum. It looks like the engines good side has been replaced, so definitely worth a look. Thank you.

    TDV8 engine issue possibly

    Hi rar110, took your advice and removed the top hoses plus I removed the intercooler hoses again and had another look at them, all appeared ok. Went out for sightseeing tours this afternoon things seemed ok. No black smoke was clearly evident. Continuing on the way home tomorrow taking it easy.

    By the way those little 90 degree hoses were a lot easier to get off than put back on again.......

    Cheers Marty

    Well done.

    Next easiest stop is the MAP sensors. Real easy to check and clean. But you need a 15 torx screw driver from memory, and a can of the cheapest contact cleaner you can find.

    Hi rar110, done another 700 Kim's today heading closer to home. I'll see if I can find any contact cleaner where I am tomorrow. I only have about 900 Kim's to go to home now so I'm feeling a lot better right now. Thank you very much for the assistance and suggestions. I should be home by the weekend and I can plug my BB MSV 2 in and see if that has any bright ideas. I'll let you know what it eventually turns out to be.

    Cheers Marty

    Now returned back at home.

    Hi there,
    OK, I have now returned home safely. The vehicle ran just fine on the way home yesterday all day, I reset the l/100 at Geraldton and got back to home 45 minutes South of Perth, got 13.9, yes I was towing, a small but heavy (ish) camper trailer, prior to leaving I was on about 10.6 to 10.7.

    I have attached three files I hope, two were non tested and tested with just the ignition on no resets done, the third test was done with the engine running AFTER I had done a reset, there were no faults on the tested screen so I couldn't see any point attaching that one, the other screen is the non-tested after a rest and the engine running, shows 14 faults I think, not sure how relevant that is. Do I actually have to perform these functions to get them "tested", I am assuming so.

    See what you think, any comments welcomed and thank you for the assistance whilst out on the road. I'm not sure if this is relevant, I only use this Range Rover for traveling so doesn't get much use at all really, a lot less than both my wife and I would like. Only done this trip and another relatively short one in the last twelve months. Done about 5000 klms in the last twelve months and that is on the high side.

    Have I got a fault or was this just an intermittent fault that corrected itself, something I find hard to believe, however I suppose anything is possible

    Now got to get the engine ECU out and send this to TRS for a remap, this is behine the battery isn't it, if not where is it?

    Cheers Marty
