Increased height should not affect air use, except perhaps if the height is near the edge of the ECU default settings which might cause problems Blocks are not necessary to calibrate the suspension, a marked up measuring stick is quicker and...

okay. that makes sense. on another note... I don't have the calibration blocks (yet!) but it seems that maybe a previous owner "lifted" the truck a bit by recalibrating slightly higher. Saying this because visually the truck looks higher than I...

Depends on the problem, a small area of worn track can cause unnecessary height adjustments leading to the compressor running when not needed.

finally getting my EAS Unlock cable end of the month... then I will have a look. Again, at this point I can only go by observation and it would seem a height sensor with bad readings would cause all kinds of odd behavior... which I can't say any...

I do not think that the terrain should affect things that much, the EAS does not respond to short transient changes on any corner only to a change that is sustained, for how long I do not know. I think you need to check the function of the...

Another quick update! Everything seems to be working fine. I get into the car in the morning, immediately at ride level, if there are even any adjustments needed. Depending on where I park and if I still unload stuff, the EAS adjusts the truck to...

I will say I am impressed with the overall condition for such an old car , its the only major rust I've found. Excluding the rear wheel arch where it meets the liner has started bubbling. Apart from that its solid.

don't think i've ever seen a P38 needing the old sparkly stick.. :vb-lol:

I guess it doesn't matter how it's done as long as it welds.

I manage with an ordinary stick welder and very thin rods.

I've got a small SIP Migmate 130, but not used it in nearly 20 years !! Problem with it, was the wire feed motor would change speed as the arc started & get stuck. Did a mod using a separate transformer for the feed motor, which worked a...

Be aware that even the expensive stuff seems to work harden and if disturbed after a month or so will have to be replaced. The proper stuff is dimpled like a golf-ball.

Thanks again for the help !!! Much appreciated nice tip about the cable tie Thanks Tony 👍

This is the part number for the Gates pipe, GATES 3225-00070 i often put a small cable tie on the end pulled up tight once in position but the cheep pipe still seems to sweat through the pipe. theceep stuff is almost a six monthly service item :(

You need to get the Gates reinforced pipe for the leak offs, it's the only stuff that lasts.

Thank you so much I will get a socket for the tool box No bloody good hose 👍 Strangely when the car is cold the NBG leak off hose is hard to pull off but after driving when engine is hot I’ve discovered it just slips off Looks like it’s...

Just had a look at both mine, on one only the return pipe has a clip, the suction side to the pump is just pushed on. On the other one where I have changed the fluid, both pipes have clips. The orientation of the pipes is different on the two...

Many thanks to @doriz Thanks to Lee I now have my own Nanocom and not relying on having to go to the yard and use the one up there. I'd noticed last week he still had it for sale so bit the bullet and dived in. Sorted our transaction out monday...

Hi Mark . Thanks for adding more info . What does IIRC mean and when you say cranking do you mean without the engine actually running and is there a particular plug pin to connect to and then earth .

Who is Mark!?! Cranking is the engine turning over before ‘firing’ and running… the ‘wer’ bit of Wer, wer, wer, wer, wer, wer, vroom! IIRC = If I Recall Correctly… If you watch the video I posted, it shows you the 3 wires. One is the 12v...

Me💁 although confusion has descended 🤣

Sounds like you got it sorted with a bit of luck . I originally thought it seemed like fuel starvation and that's why I went down the route of new fuel pump and main filter . I will order an original Land Rover sensor and fit that . Problem these...

Probe it first and see if the signal looks correct, before ordering. IIRC, you are looking for something like 1-5v at cranking, but you’d need to check that. Mine was about 0.03!

I had starting issues on my F1, especially when the engine was warm. It would ‘crank’ but not ‘fire’ for prolonged periods. I bought a cheap cam sensor and it solved the issue. The ‘cheap’ sensor failed after about 6 months, so I then bought a...

Before you do the car test welding a small piece of the metal so you can check the penetration and adjust your settings before hand. My first welding i did in a barn on concrete floor. The flash was reflecting off the floor under my mask...

As above. Doubt it is a cracked head but if sooty it might be blowing past the copper washer on the injector.

I bought the socket it is a 27mm injector socket. About a tenner off the bay if I remember correctly

I have bits coming off in my hand So, for the sake of doing things properly and id like to try and learn welding. Il attempt to get a hold of some 1.2 mm then. Cheers

That B52 in the American hanger is massive!

Same in my diesel.
