92 Classic Dies Going 55mph On Interstate
Just wanted to know if anyone has had a similiar issue.
I was driving down the interstate and my Range Rover Classic SWB 92 died while I was going 55mph. I have done several road trips and drive it daily.
I was able to coast to the side of the road, without steering, and park.
The car would not start, though the radio, a/c, etc. still worked.
2 Minutes later it fired up and I drove it straight home. Taking it to mechanic today. My 93' Isuzu Trooper did this to me as well 2 or 3 times before I sold it.
The alternator has been already replaced. But I am still having it checked out. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.
I was wondering if it was the ignition switch and if those are easily replaced DIY?
Thanks!!!

Check spark and fuel pressure the next time this happens, so you can rule them out if they are not the cause (although, I think they are). There is the possibility of it being the alternator, but when that happens, the vehicle usually won't have ANY juice left in the battery and nothing will work afterward. I also highly doubt it is the ignition switch, as they are very simple and rarely break on the classics.

I'm still driving the car. It was a one time thing. The guys looked the car over and thinks it is a wiring issue. I am also going to take it to another mechanic for a second opinion.
