Newbie from lincs

Evening all, thanks for letting me join. I picked up a '96 2.5 dhse p38 a few weeks ago which needed a injector pump, which I have now brought and fitted and got the motor running, although it be a bit rough and knocking (injector knock). I'm hoping if and when I need any advice I can turn to this forum for it.

Cheers for now, barry

Welcome to LoonyZone

Loads of good advice available.

Thank you. I look forward to the tips hints and advise from everyone.

Post up some piccies of your Landy... we likes piccies.

Hello and welcome
If its sounding a bit knockey the timing could be out did you time it using a dial gauge for pump lift, it is the only way to set it up right.

but best to do tech stuff in the range rover section of the forum.

I did check the chain and seems tight. I never timed it as thought using the M51 fuel pump removal tool the timing would be OK. I will have to get the garage to come look.

The only picture I have at the moment is the one in this post. I will be planning on getting more soon after I've replaced a few bits.

Welcome to LandyZone

Static timing needs setting.

If you don’t mind me asking, What FIP did you get/how much?

Welcome to the LZ loads of help advice and fun on here

I got it from the p38 Facebook page. A lads motor had overheated. Paid £60 posted.

If it’s OE and works then wow you did excellent!

I belive its oe, all stamps are the same as the old one.

All runs, it did take a few cranks to get it to fire along with a bit of sniff to get it to fire up.

Im going to see what work is like this week and get it loaded on the trailer and taken to the garage to get the fuel pump timed

It won’t drive? Or no MOT?

If you can, take a pic of the engine for us, we love pics

No mot, and it don't seem to drive.

It starts up and runs, but when you select drive or 1st (automatic) it just stalls.
I am working my way though the threads in the range rover section see if anyone else has had the same problem, before asking.

It’s pretty quiet lately, make a new thread in RR section. There’ll be banter and we go off on a tangent but no doubt will get to the answer fairly quickly.
Might be worth dropping the autobox oil to see what’s in there, you’d have to look up filling procedure as is not fill and go. The lads will know for sure.
