What did you do with your Range Rover today

[kermit_rr]

WOW i would have thought they would do more than 200 miles to a full tank!! Do you drive yours like you stole it?? LOL

80L to do 200 miles is around 11mpg!!

I usually see 11mpg from my 4.0l around the island. Better than the 9 I used to get out of the 5l V10 .... mind you the P38 puts out 189 bhp and the RS was 721 and 1027nm. Thankfully it’s gone.

If a thor is putting out 11mpg you have an issue..

More than likely either Lambda or MAF issues.

Yep thats about right for a very short journey

started up, gearbox fault. I'd left it overnight in neutral.. i know, i know. moved to R and got a grindy/whiny noise back to neutral quick!! D, no problem, back to R and it really thumped into gear
checked for faults and saw something about the selection switch value :/

Give the selector a few good few quick goes up and down the gate..

[kermit_rr]

regularly select low box, to keep things moving there too

Well it seems to be working normally!

Because I'm paranoid, no other reason, took the expansion cap off and it wasn't spitting the usually jet from the self bleed hole not even at 2000rpm.
Pipe is clear and I blew the other way into the radiator, that's clear too.
Could my new Airtex water pump be bad? Not overheating

Wondering if something could be broken in the expansion tank as i couldn't get a spurt of coolant by squeezing the top hose

How [cough] vigorous were you?

Ooerr!! My usual umm.. technique never fails to produce the desired outcome

 

[kermit_rr]

Ooerr!! My usual umm.. technique never fails to produce the desired outcome

The pipe is clear and if i blow down it, air comes out of the hole in the neck of the expansion tank so that's ok. Coolant comes out of the radiator bleed pipe. But maybe not fast enough, maybe i need to take the radiator off again and check for blockages

Should see the ****e that appears on some of the P38 Facebook groups.

OUCH!!!!!

Popped to Chippenham to get the long haired colonel from work. Walking back to my P38 and she spots another one in the car park, I not so stealthily checked it out when I realised he was in it checking mine out. Probably thinking "that thing is a piece of ****".
Then driving along the Calne bypass and I see ANOTHER P38, I have him the finger wave and got a full force wave back. Clearly the P38 t-shirt brings me good tidings.

It was a good day. 13/10 would recommend.

I get waves from other P38's too, must be something about them,,

A lass in a blue D2 gave a wave today and an Alveston red VSE

There is a very tidy green p38 lurking about Chippenham real stunner
