STERING BOX PROBLEM

Under braking? Have calipers inspected. They may be binding on the slides.

going down the road? Have a four wheel alignment done.

I would look for where the box bolts to the chassis, there is a possibility that the chassis is cracked. I believe there are three bolts that hold the box on and have seen chassis crack there. Good luck and let me know.

You may have your foot on the brake pedal, keys wont come out if foot on brake pedal also.

Electronic Stability Control,works opposite to abs,in that,it stops the wheels from spinning on loose ground/snow by applying the brake to the wheel that is spinning.TURN IT OFF.you WANT the wheel to grip not brake.and as far as being poor on hills, the toureg (amongst loads of other makes of 4x4s),is NOT designed for snow/off road,the four wheel drive just ENHANCES grip/handling on tarmac.(try a Subaru on a track/off road rally).

FIRST CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID.IF OKAY.CHECK POWER STEERING BELT TENSION.IF BELT TENSION OKAY.POWER STEERING PUMP GOING BAD.

start jeep put in neutral and you may have to man handle shifter a little just to get it to move

The high, low beam might run off two differant relays. Look in the fuse box under the hood. You might have blown the relay

there might be another fuse box in the glove box, or the ground might be bad.

Hi Axer,

The Range Rovers have permanently engaged Four Wheel Drive. If the tires are different sizes, they're spinning at different rates. Or trying to.

If you were off-road, it wouldn't matter too much, but on paved road, where the tires tend to grip not slip, these different rates subject a locked drive train to tremendous stress. This can bind up the gearing in the transfer case. Hopefully after only ten minutes, no permanent damage was done.

You can relieve this stress by jacking one end completely off the ground. Front or back. As the tires lose their grip on the road, you should see them spin slightly. That's good news. Once released you should be able to move again.

While it's in the air, you should probably put the original size tires back on. So choose which end to jack accordingly.

Comment me back to let me know how it goes.
Good luck

Mike

Hi

Expect Kwik Fit have adjusted the tracking / wheel alignment at some time, and adjusted one track rod more than the other. ?

Count the threads showing ! ...I expect this will become apparent.

You need to have the tracking / alignment rechecked with track rods even lengths both sides.

Then if you road test and find the steering wheel out of alignment, remove steering wheel, and move round the correct position on the steering column splines.

Hope this is of help.

Good Luck !

John.
