help with range rover
Can anyone offer advice or help. We bought a P reg 2.5dse RR last year. It
has been a nightmare with so much going wrong. The latest thing is the main computer. We have been quoted £1000 to replace. Does anyone know whether the computer can be fixed or do we need to buy a new one. |

A bad main ground can cause lots of weird things to happen. There are usually places that sell rebuilt computers for a couple hundred dollars or even the wrecker has them cheap usually. Normally you have to match some numbers up though.

I don't know what a "P reg 2.5dse" is, but I can tell you you'll have much better luck if you actually bother to mention what the problem is. Computers can often be repaired, but some times it's cheaper to just replace them. Having no idea what is wrong with the computer, or why you even think something is wrong with the computer, I doubt anyone can tell you much more than that. Ivan |

The transmission (often aluminum) is bolted to the engine block (often cast iron) with hardened steel bolts. The difference in the metalurgy can cause electrolosys which won't deter the physical connection, but may deter the electrical connection to ground that the computer (at least that of the transmission) needs. You might try running ground wires from both the transmissioin and the engine block to a good chassis ground that is common with the battery ground (that is the negative post, at least in the USA). |
