A replacement air compressor is on the way, as I took the old one apart and now it doesn't work at all😅😅. Due to the car being on its bump stops getting at the height sensor is a little difficult I've been expecting an air suspension fault...

The air bags are Dunlop and are very dry cracked so I assume there original or atleast very old. The air suspension has been fine up until yesterday it even , stayed in standard ride height over night. I sprayed soapy water on the air tank...

Checked the line on the air tank, all seems fine dirty but fine. A worn piston seal might be the cause , as when I turn the car off you can hear the valve block releasing air , even tho the car hasn't raised.

The previous owner had ripped this car round a field before I had it , had to remove tons of mud . When I opened the eas box its covered in mud stain, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Hello everyone I have recently become an owner of a 1999 4.0 P38 , yesterday the air suspension will not raise , I just have a light on to show I am in access height and a constant flashing light on standard height No warning lights on the dash...

Do you have the original radio or have you swapped it. On the discovery 3 radio you could add in Bluetooth, wonder if it could be done to the p38

Don't try and ruin my dreams 😂 I can't see any warning lights that's the way I wan It.

there's something else inside the right hand one doesn't look like trailer stuff. My owners manual says it's under the front right seat , which it isn't. Where it would go in the boot I just have two empty spaces meaning a big boot.

I did have that apart when I did the non return valve and found a unused plug however someone did say it's just. Trailer electrics.

Ive just had to go check that 😂 , and no still no lights. Off topic question ,but I don't suppose you would know where the cd multi changer goes in the P38 ? mine doesn't have one fitted and I'd like to add it. Back story on my car it's a...

What can I say , they are addictive to drive. Just to rub salt in the wounds , I have no lights on the dashboard. ( And no I haven't removed the bulbs)

I've never ran LPG so I can't really comment on it. For a V8 I don't thinks it that bad on fuel , well it's better than my dads l322 4.4 petrol ,fuel gauge moves more than the bloody rev counter.

I have heard lpg can ruin engines due to the gunk , similar to what comes out of a forklift.

Does it make me more brave that it's a 4.0 that I daily drive to work and isn't on LPG ?

With all things considered I am tempted to see what my local specialist would charge to do the cam for me, while this will be expensive it's cheaper than a new engine or car. Being new to working on engines this isn't something I want to get...

Which I imagen with a torque cam , it's almost definitely going to need shimming. I may try to contact a local specialist closer to the time , to see wether I could get them to come out and check for me.

Fair enough Cheers👍👍

Both radiators air con and coolant got replaced under my ownership so there brand new. Shimming the rockers is something I am trying to wrap my head around , I don't understand how you check the hydraulic lifter clearance or how big of a shim...

Yes that's them.

The website is tuners garage, if anyone wants to dive into this a little deeper. in terms of checking cam lift , how is that done ? I have heard of using some metal in between the cam lifters,

This is where the rabbit hole started as the guy I bought it off drove it once then sold it. He bought it off an elderly woman who's husband had died and couldn't face to see the car , so I have no idea what's been done, the interior is like...

My dad told me about a company called tuners garage , they apparently specialise in the P38, can do ECU and gearbox tuning.

It's probably overkill, as the engine is extremely quiet no tappet noise or the dreaded liner tap, more to do with preventative maintenance. However I am at 122,000 miles. Since this car has been hidden away for a few years this is something...

Is it worth rebuilding the rockers and replacing the pushrods ? Or is that more trouble Than it's worth.

I'm an amature mechanic at best , how difficult is it to do the cam? I've purchased some land rover workshop manuals to try and teach myself, so I have a minor understanding.

I'm talking of an ECU tune on a dyno , if I have that done before a cam change , would doing the cam cause any issues?

I have a 4.0 1999 P38 , I am looking into getting the engine tuned and was wondering is it worth waiting until I have changed the camshaft for a torque cam would it effect the tune?

I believe standard are actually M12 heads as I had an M12 socket get stuck on the head of the bolts when it snapped . Obviously this is totally different if the exhaust was changed in the past and someone used different bolts. However M10...

Just measured it at 5-6 cm which translates to 50mm so they should be enough.
