Hi everyone. Thank you for all your help. After some more googling of my symptoms I went with a crankshaft position sensor and that has cured it (touches all available wood). For my own knowledge Mark Piercy how would I take the reading? (not hugely electronically inclined). Cheers, DeRangie

Well I did try resyncing the key again and it didn't work which left me a bit baffled. All my searching thus far has thrown up fusebox like you said, crankshaft position sensor or horrible wiring/ECU/BECM issues. However the way it starts stationary and cuts out without moving makes me think...

Afternoon all, I'd just filled up yesterday, got 2 mins out of the fuel station and it immediately cut out. Swapped one of the engine relays RL19 with a fan relay and up she fired as if nothing had happened. 5 mins later cut out again. Swapped the other engine relay RL2 and again fired up, then...

Yeah that is possible. I am probably worrying over nothing. Something I do alot. See how they go, put a new tensioner and belt on as well. Thanks for your help.

Hi, No, they are quiet and smooth. All good apart from the tiny amount of movement which I'm not sure is a problem or not. The old ones were the plastic ones and totally shot so it's hard to compare against them.

Hi, They are both genuine parts.

Evening all, I've just put 2 new genuine metal aux idlers on my 4.6 Thor. When fitted there is a tiny amount of movement on both of them. Is this normal or should I return them? I mean next to nothing but the likes of the water pump have no play at all. Cheers, DeRangie

If I'm feeling brave and buy it there will be pictures fear not :D. Well that's something haha. DeRangie

That's what I was hoping to hear more or less. Thanks for the advice guys. May well be back pretty soon.. Cheers, DeRangie

Thanks for the reply's, at the minute i'm looking at an 01 4.6 jap import. That does fill me with a bit of confidence. Like most people I suspect, I'm not bad mechanically but complex electronics are scary :eek:. Also with them getting on a bit what are spares like? I know pretty much most...

Hi all, first time poster here, I have had a 300 disco in the past but have been scouring this forum for a while trying to absorb as much knowledge on p38s before taking the plunge.. but I have one question before I do. I appreciate there will be faults aplenty but now they are all 20ish years...

Hi guys and girls, long time lurker first time poster, I previously have had a 300 disco but am now looking into a p38... if I can bring myself to haha. Will no doubt be on here a lot. Cheers, DeRangie
