I have a 2014 Autobiography and yesterday was travelling up and down hills in the Yorkshire Dales. Whilst climbing a 25% gradient hill for a while the engine suddenly revved uncontrollably for about 20 seconds with no accelerator. I tried to turn off with the stop button but would not turn off...

Wow I was going up some hills I never thought I could go up. Looking forward to the next trip to Gorman CA. I finally got all systems up to par and the Cooper H/T tires held up against all kinds of rocks. Cheers!!!!

I know overheating has taken up lots of threads, but I thought I'd ask the forum for advise on my specific problem. The engine is the diesel, and I've quite recently put in new water pump after bearing went, plus thermostat and hoses. The oil cooler hose sprung a leak recently and I haven't got...

For the longest time, I couldn't figure it out, I have a '10 sport. Times times it works (stops on hill without rolling back) some times it doesn't. Than last week I thought I figured it out...if you press down on the brake pedal all the way it seems to put on a extra break that prevents you...

Hey all, Quick question: Is it possible to replace just the hill descent switch in the center console shift surround, or do I need to replace the entire unit for some reason? I broke mine off... If so, any suggestions about where I can get just a replacement switch? Everything I've found so...

Hello, I have a 1997 range rover 4.0SE P38. I noticed whenever i am driving up steep hills it really starts to struggle, and it cant even really accelerate up the hills. when i apply more pressure to the pedal the rpm's will increase to about 3000 and then suddenly drop off to 2500, the engine...

Hi, After a recent service at the main dealer, my 2009 model seems to unexpectedly go into Hll Descent mode for no reason. Turning the engine off and on does not fix it. However, even whilst driving if I go through the programmes and return to normal mode it will generally be okay! Anyone seen...

Hi, My 2002 Range Rover P38 recently has gotten very loud when driving between 10-20 miles per hour. It is very loud, not sure if it is an exhaust issue? On idle, it doesn't sound loud. It is very evident when going up a hill. Any thoughts? Is this a muffler issue?

I went to activate the HDC last weekend, whilst off-road at the 'Pipeline' area of Wisconsin, and it didn't engage. BUT I'm not getting any error messages. I've scanned through some other threads, and usually the issue is accompanied with various error messages. I don't really need HDC, but...
