Ok where to start, with the begging for help
I have just got myself a P38 1995 Rangei, 2.5 DSE
and need some help with a couple of things as you do when you get a new motor and not knowing the little things you learn by having one,
But I just know there is someone on here that does
Okay Koki here we go, with the begging for help
The day I got my car Friday 3oth May,
I have half a tank of fuel in her, all was going fine, I did about 90 miles on my home, and when I got down to quarter of a tank, she suddenly lost all power and came to a halt ! hmmm what's this me thinking or really,,, hoo,,,, sh**,,,,, any ways I rolled over to the side of the road, and tried to re start her, well after a couple of mins off she went, and after a another couple of miles loss of power again, so back to the side of the road, couple of mins later off we go once more, pulled into a garage put a tenner worth of fuel in, and got my self home ok,
Now has anyone any ideas has to why this should happen?
1) I have been told its the lift pump in the tank might need replacing?
2) I've been told that is a normal thing on some P38 when the tank gets low on fuel, But cant see that myself ,,, but hey these things do happen?
3) I've been told it might be the fuel breather pipes blocked? and I have know idea where these are so any help here would be grateful?
or any ideas would be helpful, now I'm afraid to move from home just in case she goes completely,
I also don't have a drivers hand book so have know idea what all the controls or buttons mean in the car, like there is a little toggle switch on the indicators arm ,,,, hmmm what dose that do?
how do I get four wheel drive hi lo, God I must sound like I right twit, But been used to having a surf, and know all these is to known about them having one for three years, so now the learning process start again
So any help from you guys that have had your motor for a while would be very much appreciated
looks as if I'm writing a novel here lol
Cheers Mike
