2000 Land Rover Range Rover - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

hi, this is due to a couple of things. 1 is this a p36 or p38.
things like the door sensors will prevent this from lifting, its to stop it crushing your leg when foot is out.
more than likely there are 2 hieght correctors.
depends on the model. i see these where leg pops out, i get them in where a air bag has popped off, loosing all your air.
when its a p38 and lifted, if u dont push the button on the dash the computer gets confused and wont let it lift, this then needs a reset. i have lifted a lot of range rovers and the p38 is the worst, i use a 2 post lift, u got to push button on dash, this tells it its getting jacked up or lifted. i have forgot to push it a couple of times, a air bag drops off, u need tough thumbs to push it on.
listen to see if the compressor is running when running.
you must open bonnet start engine then shut door making sure all doors are shut, there is a box think it says eas (black box) you can take the cover to see it pumping, u will hear it.
if not you and none of this whats mentioned is at fault u have to have it 1 plugged in or 2 reset. hope this helps u. 1 more suggestion, im not sure about a p36, is the button on the dash on, orange light on, this locks the suspension for lifting, when down wont go up.
get back to me how u got on, i will have another think. im sure the sensor on axle.

It sound like the heat and AC dash switch control unit has developed a short and effectively fused some contacts together. The danger is that electrical shorts have the possibility of starting a fire. The electrical circuit can be disconnected by removing the heater and AC fuses from the fuse box.

Lift hood disconnect main battery get a new remote coded to vehicle

First one is shorted rough road detection sensor, second one is anti theft sensor

Time to visit the transmission shop! First, check the transmission fluid level, though (just in case it's a low fluid condition).

need a new transmission

The felt runners that the glass slides in drys out ! get some silicon spary and give the felt and edge of the glass a good spray work the windows up and down and you should see an improvement

the p38 is a bit sluggish and slow on long steep hills, really not geared for performance but more as a piece of heavy equipment. strong horsepower wise very formidable powertrain but you're not going to have that get up and go that many drivers look for. couple quick suggestions you may want to check your plugs and wires a common weak spot in the ignition system, and i might suggest also running i can of seafoam through your engine. you deposit in your gas tank runs through with the half a tank of gas. i'm not a big advocate of fuel additives or octane boosters but in the case of seafoam it's definitely a worthwhile and proven product. don't forget also your sport mode button down next to your shift lever push that button down and it keeps your transmission from overdrive so you can accelerate into freeway traffic and climb hills without your transmission shifting

being that it is range rover, it should tolerate :some:water, but, you may have to pull the computers and clean them and/or the connections (if they were damaged by the flooding, then I wish you good luck!)

that depends on your mechanical abilities etc , follow this link to a u-tube video for a starter overview but your looking at a couple of days for a V8 engine Land Rover Head Gasket Replacement First Overview 4 6

Sounds like a faulty switch pack or the resistor pack. Strongly suggest you do not try to fix it yourself, but you insist on doing so, you will get more info on www. rangerovers.net

There is a sequence of left and right turns of the key in the driver's door that will reset your bECM (Rovers brain) if the following have been tried. 1. Replace batteries in remote and 're-sync by depressing lock button on remote while physically turning and locking the door. Don't release button until locked and key removed. Repeat for unlock button. 2. Disconnect negative/earth cable from battery. While disconnected open driver's door, turn ignition to position 2, return to battery leaving driver's door open and reconnect the negative cable. Proceed to ignition. Turn off completely. Close all doors and hood and attempt starting. Should both of these methods fail, run a search here on fixya for "engine disabled Range Rover P38" This will take you to step by step instructions on resetting the bECM which I opened this post with. It has been covered many times here, including by myself, no reason to post it again. Good Luck!

No check the brake light switch or brake pedal some of these vehicle have a electronic lock fitted to gear shift

Degrading of the wiring going to the OBD Connector ! Check the OBD by removing and cleaning contacts and also the earthing behind the passenger side footwell kick panel

Quite likely, but before you start tearing things apart, check the fuses, then for a loose wire - much more common occurences. If you need more advice, join and post a question on the Graeme Cooper forum (last menu button at http://www.graemecooper.com.au/ )and I'll refer it to their technical experts.

I would suspect fuel pump/filter at this age.Probably never been changed in its life.

Have you tried the sensor on the fly wheel that starts the fuel pump running when you turn the key,I had that problem the engine would turnover but not start ,had to put In a new sensor ,it cud red the problem but wasn't cheap!

does it turn over but not spark ? if so i'd get the OBD codes read as possably a sensor/switch etc this help will pinpoint the problem

Just drive and add coolant from time to time. Carefully open the filler cap. If coolant keep missing you may have a leak. If you see no leakage you can see for white smoke in the exhaust. if pressure keeps building up in the system you have a cracked cylinder head or a bad head gasket.

If you are looking for the fuel bleeder than it is on the fuel rail
