Good Afternoon All,
Just thought I shall introduce myself, I bought a 1997 4.0 Chim a couple of months ago. After growing up with V8 landies I had a reasonable clue of what I was letting myself in for; as im sure with all there has been a couple of teething issues though the second the sun comes out and the roof is off it is the best thing in the world. We are builing up a small British sports car collection now with having a very orginal TR4A IRS in the garage as well.
I am trying to get some pics up of her asap, she is the wonderful deep blue with matching hood, 79,000 miles. I have replaced the '100 amp fuse' as the battery light came on, though after replacing it was still glowing away, a couple of fuses changes and cleaned up the relay and all was great. This forum is full of really great info and already have learned so much with 'the bible' on the christmas list already
Slight issue with the locking of the doors which I have yet to investigate yet, the alarm works and so does the immobilser though when the alarm buttom is pressed you no locking of the doors (same thing happens when you press the little button in the middle). Need to spend a weekend checking relays/solenoids...
Another issue with dip beam not actually working (always on main beam) though again another slight issue that needs probably just a good clean/replacement Vaux part.
I will try and contribute and a quick thanks to all the info I have read so far.
