test to see if coolant is half empty, u are not telling the problem with details... example: what u have done to fix this, or u have done nothing..

Left rear speaker driver side color is Black/Yellow positive and Black/Orange is negative. Right rear speaker passenger side Black/Green Positive and Black/Blue negative.

If you rev the engine with the voltmeter attached to the battery the voltage should rise to over 12 volts if the alternator is working.

Wow. I have the EXACT same problem on a nissan Patrol. I've always had some trouble trying to descibe it online, because the car actually shakes violently, all over, in an increasing manner, and the only possible reaction is to hit the brakes hard! I have also replaced many parts in quest of the damaged piece, with no luck. Also managed to baffle a whole lot of mechanics here in Portugal. Mine acts up at 90 km/h, anything below that is fine. I changed the tires to heavier ones and the problem got soothed a bit, but still happens once in a while. I've been told it's a very common problem with old Nissan Patrol, and I've had several friends reporting the same thing. This is the first time I've ever heard of it happenning to a land rover.

Although I don't have a direct solution for you, (and I gave up trying to find out what was wrong with mine a few years ago - cause this keeps me below 90 km/h, witch is good, now I just cruise around, no hurry) I offer you the comfort of knowing you're not the only one :) and I would suggest you search in Nissan Patrol forums, because it happens more often with their models from '90 to 96. (search for Nissan patrol 2.8 turbo)

hope this helps.

I had the same problem. you need to replace the retainer clips. Most parts stores don't carry them and the dealer is expensive but you can find them online. The best price I have found is here. http://www.carpartsdiscount.com/auto/parts/brake_pads_shoes/rear_brake_pad_hardware_kit.html?3593=124283

sounds like you have a voltage drop issue with your battery cableuse a DVOM, hook the red lead to the battery + terminal and the black lead to the battery cable at the starterwith an assistant cranking the engine read the DC voltageanything greater than .2v = issueseither battery terminals are bad/dirty or you need a new battery cable

I would check for damaged/worn linkage on the transmission, or check the brake cable for damage/wear.

did u check the fuses?? if it ain't the fuses,you have a open ground somewhere.

no leak would affect the starter and if its clicking then its not a fuse issue, same goes for the terminals. but make sure your battery is fully charged and then it sounds like the starter is bad. it can click and still have the starter spin up and the gears can be busted so either way you need to replace the starter.

If you are in front of the vehicle facing the radiator, Cylinder (1) will be the first spark plug closest to you on (your) right hand side. This is what is referred to as the (left Bank).Left bank is 1,3,5,7. from front to firewall.Right Bank is 2,4,6,8. from front to firewall.The coil bank is numbered from (your Left to Right) as you are facing the firewall,2,3,4,7,8,5,6,1.

I had the same problem with my 98 discovery ..on mine the stering is on the left side ....on the right side under the glove box on the harnes wire there is a smal blue thing 1/2 x 11/2 inch box ( HJ1 splicer) power from the fuse is going in there and jumps with the wire from coil,fuel pump relay and the computer.In my car that jumper was not making contact ..after i shorted all 4 wires the car just started up.

the fuel pump is internal in the tank,you have to lift the carpet in the book and there is a round plate in the middle of the boot undo the screws/bolts and this will be the top of the pump,undo the electrics andthe fuel lines makeing sure to remember which pipe goes to where undo the bolts holding the pump into the tank lift out of tank and replace everything in reverse,

Hello JB, usually cam or crankshaft sensors can cause this problem. My experience has been that when either of these sensors goes bad it just dies and nothing. My question to you is has the cars check engine light come on, and have you retrieved any codes. Please get back to me, GOOD LUCK.

Is it a squeeling noise drive belt? Or it could be air in the system causing cavitation due to a leak

Its a clasic symtom of a turbo failure or blocked air filter.
