My baby's at the doctors...

Well, I tried changing the HT leads (Range Rover 8mm Luminetion ones - £54 for 9 leads!) but the misfire was getting worse... Started backfiring loudly so decided to take it Dave Batty to let him weave his magic.... It was getting so bad on the run down that I bailed out and got the RAC to transport it there...

Just waiting for him to call with the prognosis...

Having to 'cruise' in a Sleazyrentacar A Class at present.....

B*llocks!!

Just had a call and it is bad gnus.. One of the Lamda sensors has shorted out and taken out the air flow meter... £100 for the sensor and £400 for the air flow meter unless we can find a used one...

Any idea where I can look?

No idea, try some of the V8 performance specialists, perhaps they've upgraded someone's std meter and will pass their old one on to you. £400 seems extra steep though for what I believe is a std Landie part (someone may correct me here).

You could always sell your spare HT leads to help pay for the work

I believe £300 is nearer the mark for the Air Flow meter. (Still bloody expensive). It is badged Land Rover, but I think it is modified - can anyone confirm?

Not aware of any mods, but there are two specs of meter. Early cars used the hotwire meter from a 4.0 Rangie. Later ones use the bigger one from a 4.6 Rangie. No idea on cost but I wouldn't be surprised at low hundreds.

Cheers,

It is the Lucas 5AM which is on the non 4.6 Rangies and Discos.... £300+ VAT from most places but I believe that a used one is not too hard to find...

Fingers crossed!!
