You should start with 15 psi and can go as low as 12 psi, if recovering in soft sand lower it to 8-10 psi, but inflate afterward to 12 - 15 psi or else you will pop out tire on sharp turn or on side slopes.

Finally my problem got solved. interesting discovery though. Sorry for late comment.

Brake fluid canister have two filters: one on top and one on down from where it goes to black hose. Removed and cleaned both, and then remove the soft rubber from cap so that returning brake fluid can breath air out and leave the fluid in canister.

All in all it was strange and weird, but it cured the problem and now no light is flashing, and brake oil sit slightly more than MAX level (when cold) and still not returning from cap like before and leaking when switched off.

Make sure your wasnt overheated, as A/T light appear when something with transmission or when car overheat and radiator cant cool the tranny oil and it throws A/T red light.

If car radiator is leaking, i strongly suggest dont drive and get the radiator / leak fixed first and then see if still A/T light appears?

250-300 if you go for long life platinum plugs, else 100 dhs + 50/100 for labor.

Dont worry Hossein, me and Zuhair have gone to Fossil rock and around area many times plus we drive with GPS and Radio. Fossil rock, bidayer, Tawi is very very common weekend playground for offroad.

No, its a steering lock problem inside the steering wheel that isnt working.

Get the wheel alignment and it will drive straight.

Sounds like a gear issue than a mounting issue, but im surprised how noise disappeared after the mounting has been changed.

Seek a gear rebuilding company to check the gearbox and advise, it surely is gearbox issue.

Looks like motor is bad, and its stuck. Need a new motor if all electrical and fuses are fine.

You can find many shops in Al quoz doing a professional job at quarter the price than dealer. To name just a few: Technical Garage, Dynatrade, Autoxs.

Post some pics please.

Thanks Ghassan for quick trip report and pictures.

It was my first drive with Range Rover (Ghassan, its not RR Classic). And big thanks to Richard (Doc) who made sure that my RR comes out in one piece, with front bumper so low i had no hope of saving it but with good pace and careful choice of track by leader my wife is still happy, as this RR is on my wife's name. Whats in the name though

I would like to thank Manuel for second lead, Ghassan for sweep, Vulcan, Arif and Naushad for good company. Looking fwd for the same experience again, it was pleasure driving with zero ego and like minded people so that we can enjoy the natural beauty and company than showing off......!

Thats Musa's RR if i am not wrong.

Will try it with you moro and see if my RR bumpers are really low or not. lololol.

Hi Gas

Can my stock RR also join? I never tested my RR in sand so far, but i am regular off road in sand with my Pajero. Wanted to test RR so thinking this fossil rock is gonna be easy one or not? My 2000 rangie is on coil and with low profile tires, is it advisable to join?

Amazing pictures guy, wish i could join. In for the next one.

My Pajero makes click click noise on turn from redlight and on u turn.

Changed axle boot, it was torn and also change external ball joints still it makes noise.

Thanks walther n doc, I'm more than likely in for the first lr drive. It's a great initiative by you guys to get to know lr owners in town.

Hi guys, can i join for day drive only?

Of course with family and kids (2 yrs and 4 yrs).

Hi VCO, just curious to know how you measured the volt on MAF?

I have Range Rover and multi meter tool, could you please explain how do i measure the voltage as i never really fiddle with electronics. Thanks.
