Reverse bias

<< < (2/2)

lyndon:
Its far to easy. There is nothing to stop you just putting it into reverse and ending up sat on someones bonnet. I would say 8 out of 10 times I end up in reverse and not first.

Range Rover Blues:
Thej from what I remeber it's that little plunger thing with the reverse switch on it.  mine was fine so I left well alone.  Note it has some shims in it for adjustment :?

defuzz:
was it your post I replied to recently about this?

My tip is to go into 2nd and then straight up into first, virtually impossible to go into reverse that way, takes a bit of getting used to!! I really should fix mine too.

I also considered getting a buzzer to connect to the reverse light so I'd know if t gets put in by accident and I would know before putting my foot down and potentially running someone over.


The best answer of course is to do it properly, not use work arounds like me!!

lyndon:
stripped the plunger assembly down tonight and replaced the two springs. Wow what a terrible job. It took me an hour of blood (literally), sweat and tears to get the thing open. When together much faster but doesn't seem to have made a bit of difference. Having now replaced everything I guess I will just have to live with it. Like they say. It a landrover !! lol
