So – ever since breaking down in San Francisco and being rescued by a mobile mechanic…. and discovering the mysterious ‘take off number 1 spark plug and thou shalt start’ commandment. Here we are and the 11th commandment is still working. Bloody thing. Friday is just another day in breakdown Boris land
...After the last bout of engine work (replacing the crank sensor thing) Boris was nice for nearly 3 months… before acting up again. Although a lot less frequently…. Up until this month hes only refused to start once every few weeks… I’ve been just living with it. Last month he had major sulk and left …
This year I’m in San Francisco for Valentines Day. Had a lovely time visiting the wine region of Napa, and when Boris refused to start we were prepared. If you choose to spend Valentines day with a Landrover you expect the unexpected. I simply swore and stood around for 30 minutes trying all the tricks …
Crank Sensor didn’t fix anything 🙁 However, on my life mission of looking on the bright side, it did work for nearly eight weeks straight. Before refusing to start while parked outside a client office in San Francisco, which is only really a minor embarrassment. I suppose it could have happened half way across the …
Courtesy of the very nice chaps at Kensington Motor Cars here in Las Vegas: A new engine crank sensor! The LR3 crank sensor Now… this might seem like a tiny little bit of plastic and metal but is it the savior or haunted LR3 engines everywhere? After many, many, many discussions with the garage owner (Bill) …
Bloody thing.. after working nicely for just over a week, leading me to think the problem was all down to blocked injectors… the starting *problem* is back with a vengeance. The long landrover saga or engine Demons are back with a vengeance… FIRKING THING! /me takes a deep calming breath….. So, 80% of the time …
I’ve never had such a love hate relationship with a damn car!! Boris the Landrover LR3 is my daily driver and I really do genuinely enjoy driving it. But this vehicle’s reliability is down in the swamp. Why is the Landrover LR3 unreliable? I can’t tell you – and I’ve spent thousands of dollars trying …
Two days after dropping a couple of grand on a new starter motor, new transmission shifter (and two weeks of rental cars) trying to *fix* the ‘refusing-to-start’ problem… The very naughty Boris had driven like a dream over the weekend and I was finally enjoying the Landrover experience again thinking it was solved… this morning …
Boris the Landrover decided to breakdown last night…. it was the good old recurring problem where the LR3 decides not to start… At all…. It’s like the engine immobilizer kicks in and it just wont start. Turn the key and it turns for a few seconds then stop turning regardless of position of the key… …
Before I start raging about this car I need to take a deep breath. This Problem Landrover LR3 is a particularly naughty example of landrovers utter rubbishness. This bloody thing is making my head EXPLOOOODEEDEE with frustration. Just to reduce the chances of my head exploding in frustration, I am going to amuse myself by …
WARNING – NON-TECHNICAL BLOG ALERT! WOOP WOOP! Before leaving the old country (UK) a few years back I was the proud owner of the ultimate road going work horse… a Landrover Defender 110. It was an early 1994 model with a 2.5 Liter Turbo Diesel engine and a hand painted exterior I used it for …
