I'd have to check RAVE next time I have the laptop running but it is less than you think. 90 nm sounds way too much. 25 nm sounds more likely. The high pressure pipes just need nipping up so they don't leak. Finger tips tight using a 17 mm...

RAVE says always use a new bolt as it is a stretch bolt. Sone say you can reuse them a few times but I wouldn't risk it!

Strangely the original parts seemed to last a very long while. I think he was referring to the labour but yes, their parts prices take the urine. Jaguar used to have an owners club card where they gave discount for old Jaguars and did deals...

We were talking about this on one of the forums the other day. Helpfully, youtube just served this up to me. It is on thaor engined Disco, but the P38 is essentially the same I think. Somewhere in the comments a chap with a P38 has made the...

Last time I went for parts from my Landy dealer the kid pointed out the car was considerably older than he was and he generally only sees JLR cars still under warranty because the dealer prices are so high. Fair point!

Sounds plausible.

Pro Evo+ seem to specialise in JLR and are based not far from me in Abingdon. Guess that's their office and everything shipped from China? https://proevoplus.com/#about-pro-evo 24 month guarantee on all products, apparently. Tempted to pop in...

Dunlops a bit pricey but Proevo+ about right. Never heard of Proevo+ before. Not sure I'd risk them over Dunlop, not even being 30% cheaper!

Terrano?

Here`s Dave`s instructions sheet hopefully it worked

That's the guy!

It was @biketeacherdave That had the write up with pics.

Let me get the bag and see what's in it!

Value is in RAVE. I thought it was 12 thou of an inch but I might be mixing it up with something else.

Yeah it works now

Only with the ones made in the EU by Conti I think, but yes, unless you buy from the states it could be problematical.

Might have been @backinblack that did the guide?

Sure it is in the TDC hole? A skipped tooth would cause issues. The cam is set with a 12 thou spacer when tightening the cam stretch bolt. 10 mm is way too much.

But you've got it sorted. Just dont do it again 🫵😝

I thought I might struggle to get at the box lever with the clocks plugged in but it's possible I've discovered. Started her up, ac on and moved the lever one way then the other until I got cold air. Its towards the engine for cold. The missis...

I wouldn't touch Arnott 2. Had manufacturing issues recently. Arnott 3 are good but not worth the expense. Dunlops are best bet.

I’d ideally avoid them as well. I don’t plan on getting rid of the P38 until the government makes it illegal to drive them - I’ve invested far too much money and blood to pass it on. I’ll take a look at the Dunlops though. Hopefully they’ll last...

I might have a bag of them somewhere.

My local MOT guy will do a dummy MOT test for the standard fee. That way I can fix it before the real test & avoid fails or advisories.

GEMS has an additional cover plate, but I think the 1999 onwards it's part of the sump on Thor engine ? Not sure about diseasel though. The bell housing inspection plate should be enough to see the flex plate on all types ?

Works for me?

The latest gents Running like clockwork! A slight oil leak from a failed filter housing seal and another from the oil cooler. Otherwise good as new. Just a fan and transmission tunnel carpet to fit

Storey Wilson does some cheap software for the early models. Later ones are canbus and use his 4Dcan software. Trying to remember what he called the earlier software. Needs a laptop and cable though. I did have it on my laptop but the laptop...

There is the one at the bottom of the bell housing..🤔

There might be an access hole somewhere so you can poke an endoscope in to see the flex plate?
