Have seen it in both and RR and Sport, most of the time its a computer thing and they just reset it in my case
this is untrue even though you may have been told this at a dealers.
it could be one of many things causing this problem it would depend on the year and model of range rover to which you are refering.
give me the year and i'll tell you the most common problems
Interesting cankybear, the two i've had problems with were a 2007 Vogue, was one of the first TD8 and had an 05 Sport Supercharger before that - almost identical faults and were fixed in Landrover Livingston in Scotland in around 15mins. I spend alot of time up there so much cheaper to maintain instead of having work done here.
First off the sport and the full size are 2 completely different beasts. the sport did suffer from a computer glitch witch is rectified with a reprogramme. but also suffered from wiring corrosion on the mid 05 to 07 models. the full size did not have this the most common fault with these is the silencer and the dryer for the compressors become blocked this causes the system to go into shut down or limp mode. they also had a habbit of flipping the height sensors and the wrong way and giving stupid reading.
the model which guilliver is talking about is the same as the early x5's being as bmw stole that system shortly after buying landrover. the sensors the wiring and the ecu gave hassle but also the compressor itself anf the valve blocks in the system siezed. they also enjoyed ringing the fnt diff out of the vehicle! the bmw 3lt disel is a gutless wonder too and to be honest the gearbox isnt up to much in them either.
the tdv8 which you have is the bst engine gearbox combo that LR have had in years. i would make sure you get the dryer silencer mod done on the car asap though as it is now out of warranty and a new compressor is very expensive.
