2012 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Baltic Blue

We’re just over 150 miles in so far.

Couple of niggles to sort but other then that it’s performing very well.

Needs a drivers front wheel bearing... from what I’ve read that can be an utter sod of a job.
Drivers side heating seems to be stuck on HOT. Changing it to 16 doesn’t seem to change the temperature. The direction change works ok though.

Yep the front bearing is a total its a sealed cassette rather than a tapered roller so needs pressing out, if you can even get it off the driveshaft!

Good luck! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Pressing it in and out of the hub doesn’t worry me too much, it’s the splitting the shaft from the hub bit that’s got me worried.

Let’s just put it like this, Un be known to me my local garage tried to split the hub off on my 12my, to change an arm bush, don’t know why.... but in the end when they put it back together they neglected to put the hub nut back on.. I drove for 6 months like that, it was only when it went back in for something that it was noticed, and they asked me where it was!! So it’s a fairly firm fit.

Might come off easy thooo There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Interesting video here showing bits of getting the fan shroud off the 4.4 TDV8 so it looks like my next job is in the pipeline now.

Time for an update

Well, the Range Rover has done about 5-600 miles since passing the MOT.

The heater problem was solved with a new heater valve. The heater matrix on these is in 2 halves for the dual zone heating and as a result there’s a valve in the engine bay that diverts coolant to and from. Replacing that cured the heater being stuck on full on the drivers side.

The wheel bearing is now sitting in the boot, I just need time to get that fitted. A genuine bearing, hub nut and circlip was just under £60 which isn’t bad at all and should hopefully not be too bad to fit. Although I’ve read that some people have problems getting the driveshaft out of the hub and needing a press to do it.

The wife has decided that she likes driving it which is irritating as now I have to look at my car from strange angles at times

After I’d done 300 miles on Petrol to let the gearbox learn it’s adaptions properly I thought I’d try the LPG system out. It ran perfectly on LPG, however, if you parked it up and started it instantly it would start ok, if you left it for a few minutes or longer it wouldn’t restart without a lot of cranking.

I did a bit of digging at the weekend and when I pulled a vacuum pipe off I could hear a hissing noise with the car switched off. I stuck the vacuum tube into a beaker of water and got bubbles so it was pressurised. When smelling the end of the vacuum pipe it was obvious that it was LPG leaking.

As the LPG was leaking into the vacuum tubing it was entering the inlet manifold. As LPG is heavier then air it was sinking into the inlet and as the LPG is harder to ignite then the air & petrol it was exhibiting itself by taking a lot of cranking to start the car.

The cause of the leak is a diaphragm that has perished in one of the LPG reducers. Normally, I’d not fit LPG to a car as for the mileage I do the cost saving isn’t worth it, however, seeing as to replace both of the reducers will cost £200 and LPG is 52p a litre rather then 120p a litre, it won’t take long to recoup £200 so they’ve both been ordered and should be here this week. Thankfully, driving it on petrol stops the leak so until it’s fixed it can still be used which is good!

There’s a scuff on the NSR door and a couple of bubbles on the tailgate that I want sorting out so I visited the local body work guy yesterday. He’s quoted £250 to do both bits so it’ll be going to him before long.

Other then that, the car is running great, driving spot on and hasn’t thrown up anything that I hadn’t found whilst tinkering with it other then the wheel bearing which I can live with.

After I’d found the LPG leak on Saturday I decided to give it and the XFR a wash. I really like looking at them together, they make a cracking pair and complement each other nicely

David, the diaphragms are dead easy to change and cost less than £20... Not starting (flooding in old-fashioned terms) is a common issue when the diaphragms dry out/harden and fail...

Thanks Craig. I’ve tried before to refurbish a couple of reducers on the P38’s and they never maintained a pressure properly afterwards. These are 10 years old now so thought I’d swap them but am thinking I should probably have tried the diaphragms on these as apparently they’re much easier to do then the older ones.

Oh well... at least they’ll look shiny 😀
