Hi Guys, The headlining in my 2002 P38 4.0 is knackered. I am about to pull it out and recover and I am pretty sure it is one piece. I have seen this used 2 piece one advertised on eBay at island4x4 ...

Hi, My lovely girl -2001 4.0 P38 just sailed through the MOT at a mere 160k. However we had one advisory that I knew was coming on the offside front lower control arm balljoint. Having a quick look on the internet pressing kits to remove/install the ball joints made specifically to the P38...

Hi Guys, In the process of changing the valley pan gasket on my 2002 4.0. I'm about to start putting everything back together and RAVE indicated only to use a bit of RTV on the seals. I have however seen people mention using RTV or Blue Hylomar on the actual gasket, around the waterways and...

Hi, Not sure how but when I removed the oil filler tube whilst changing valve cover gasket the plastic thread is damaged and won't screw back in. Engine is a V8 Thor. My question is do I actually need the tube as they seem expensive for very little benefit, or is there an oil cap that will...

Hi, I had to change the oil cooler pipe on my v8 4.0 2002 from the front cover to the oil cooler. In the process of disconnecting from the oil cooler it stripped the aluminium thread on the cooler, which I now have learned is pretty normal. I ordered a new cooler (ESR 3204) suitable for all v8...

Hi Guys, Can anyone help? I was changing the front cover gasket on V8 4.0 Thor. When disconnecting the pig tail from the oil pressure switch I managed to ping the little metal 'clip' securing the connector across the drive never to be found again. I have searched high and low on the internet...

Hi Guys, i am in the process of changing the front timing cover on my 2002 V8 Thor. Starting to put everything back together. Now I know this is a numpty question but can’t for the life of me work out how the cam sensor bracket holds the cam sensor onto the cover. Have googled but can’t find...

Hi Guys, I have a 2002 P8 4.0. The air con has sprung a leak in the pipe as it runs along the firewall at the back of the engine bay before going down into dash and the evaporator. I can hear it hissing out and think it is the low pressure pipe. It looks like a mother of a job to replace the...

Hi, A bit of advice would be much appreciated. My air con on 2002 P38 hasn't worked for a few years but as it has generally been a "working" vehicle ( and fantastic ) it wasn't a priority. Over the last year I have spent many enjoyable hours getting her back to her former glory. The last bit of...

Hi. I would like to pick the brains of the P38 experts please :) After sorting out my heater matrix o-rings and putting everything back together the driver's side heating isn't working. Quick scan gave the fault codes in the attached pic. Before diving in I wondered if anyone had any thoughts...

So today I decided to replace the o-rings on the heater matrix as footwell damp. Used the 'quick' method of cutting hole for access and all went well. Old o-rings didn't look too bad to my surprise and I couldn't see obvious evidence of a leak but changed them over to the new ones. When I...

Hi, I've searched forums, internet and Rave to the best of my ability and can't find anything so am hoping the wisdom of the forum can help. I am replacing both my damaged wing mirrors ( the whole assembly not just the glass ) and as I couldn't find any in the right colour have got a couple of...

Hi. I have a 2002 P38 4.0. My other half unfortunately met someone going round the corner in the middle of the road on a country lane and need a new wing mirror. I have scoured the internet and local breakers for a replacement but can't find one in the right colour which is 507 Caledonian...

Hi Guys, I replaced the whole exhaust system on my P38 4.0 2002 including cats and 02 sensors recently as the old one had numerous leaks causing a fail in emissions. Before going to my MOT in a few weeks I got it hooked up to an emissions machine and it passed ... just. At low idle it was...

I have a 2002 4.0 P38 and have just replaced the exhaust system from the manifolds backwards. I am just about to torque everything up and checked RAVE. I am sure I am misreading something but there seems to be two torque values for the front pipe to manifold bolts. On page 11 of the repair...

Hi, Firstly apologies if this is a bit of a newbie/numpty question. I am in the process of replacing the exhaust system on my P38 4.0 2002. I don't think anything has ever been touched since it left the factory as it took an age, vast amounts of heat etc to get the cross member bolts out. I...

Hi , Just recently the intake manifold has got oily on the outside as per the picture. I will replace the oil filter and clean out the pipes but is there anything else I should be checking? Thanks for any help and advice. Cheers

Hi Everyone, My passenger side airbag deployed after the prop shaft broke. I have the MOT soon so need to get rid of the SRS light and airbag fault. I have ordered a used SRS ECU and plan to put a resistor on the airbag connector rather than replace the airbag. If anyone knows the correct...

Hi, One of my airbags deployed recently so I need to replace the airbag dcu. However there seem to be many different versions out there. They seem to be coded bu ywc numbers or amr numbers? Can anyone help with which code would fit my vehicle please as I am struggling to find much info online...

Hi, I need to replace the exhaust including cats, downpipe and y-pipe on my wife’s P38 v8 2002. Obviously need to remove cross member to do this but it is a vehicle I’m not familiar with. Having googled and read many forums there doesn’t seem to be a consensus on where to support the gearbox...
