Honestly, I don't have the time, single dad life, cars, bikes and its my stepfather's so I just don't have the time to load up tools, go over and start. It's quite likely exactly tgat.
Timing chains are fine on the 4.2 it’s the bmw v8 and earlier jag 5.0 that had issues. Long as it’s had oil changes it’s fine. Gearbox is the zf6 speed so yeah service it.
Bit of a delay in update, life got in the way and is only a spare car/toy!
Fitted brand new brown plug injector and all is well no diesel leaks at last! EML light has also gone out so I guess I was just unlucky with my new white injector. Just...
The reason I wonder about the throttle pot is due to a little test I did. If I increase the idle speed via diagnostics, it has no effect on the MIL light problem, however when I stuck a piece of card on the throttle stop, it raised the idle...
My fusion is fly by wire throttle and used to often drop into limp mode in the wet.
Took the pedal pot off, dismantled, cleaned the tracks and wipers, dried everything out thoroughly and used a smear of sealant putting it back together. Had no...
I'd be checking voltage at the gearbox ECU pins and thinking of earth points rather than BECM.
Nice looking motor. Pity my job and career fell off the rails last year or I'd have been sorely tempted. Mind you, the wife would have freaked at a...
I can honestly say it's 1 of the best iv ever seen and I think I'm right it's got a PlayStation fitted in the rear as well if memory serves me right. If only we had a huge barn to keep them all on they would all stay.
As many of you legacy landyzoners may remember,my P38, one of my classics and my mum's P38. my P38 the blue one went a couple of years ago, as did the classic. mum passed away in end of 2021 and the my stepfather has kept hold of the silver...
Metal tangs x4 need bending back with a flat bladed screwdriver to release the old bass speaker from the housing.
Slice the old foam ring off the old bass speaker and glue onto the new one. 4 x 3.5mm x 35mm countersunk screws hold the new speaker...
All back together and everything working as LR intended. Took me around 5 hrs but that included trying to refit the rubber glass runner in the nsr door. Didn't even know it was missing, just spotted it lying in the bottom of the door when...
Wasn't there an issue with the Nanocom WABCO-D module swapping the sides over sometimes? Maybe even an update fixed it at so e stage. MartyUK might have mentioned it.

I do remember a small board in the top of it and you can desolder it to take it apart and clean some contacts but I would have to dig through the pictures on an old hard-drive to refeesh my memory as to exactly what.
Taking a trace with the...
The inside of the pump in the video doesn't look like the inside of the P38 FIP as I remember it. I was told that the "fuel Quantity" problem was likely to be due to a worn end stop for the fuel quantity servo mechanism. A long time ago there...
Nah, it's the pump.
Mine idles a little more than 750 and think the actuator could be touching and sticking. I caught a good video on the poo tube about the vw 4cyl version and he was having problems with his. I don't really fancy going in there...
We used the stuff from Martrim. £67 for the material & 3 cans of adhesive, plus £18 shipping. They supply enough for the A/B/C pillars as well, but didn't bother as the plastic matched the new cloth...
I actually feel slightly better reading this because at the time I felt like a complete numpty not being able to remove the airline from the bag (and subsequently ended up butchering the pipe), as everyone was telling me it was such a simple...
Yes, compare to Statoil in Norway where they said the oil money could only be spent on capital improvement projects or invested for the future. Over here they just milked it and spunked it up the wall.
Stupid in another way too. Other countries with oil production have sovereign wealth funds and/or low taxes, the UK has neither. In the UK the billions have just been frittered away and now politicians are taxing North Sea oil out of existence...

Our governments have been very stupid. They offshored manufacturing to China so our carbon emissions go down and we become a consumer economy. However, the quality goes ever lower and we have to buy ever more **** - running to stand still...
So after 255.000mls my rocker seal is leaking.. Pfff OK, removed, stripped out completely all it's internals and got it all clean. There was no gunk in there at all👌result and proof of regular oil changes.... Except the seal I bought ( god...
Thanks didn't know this existed! And big brother google conveniently displayed an ad for this tool right below your reply so I already know where to get it.
For future reference the tool is
