Were the glow plugs good quality ones ie Beru, NGK or the like or the cheap ones off the bay. The ones from the far east are very poor for starting as I can vouch from past experience

Some places have a shaker type thing that sits on a normal 4 post lift. Watched one being used once to try and find a knock. Car is shook and the fitter feels about until his touch finds the noise.

Old gal been stud for over a week whilst away on holiday. Dropped a little bit but thats just self levelling as is normal where parked. Fired up first go and straight up to normal height so tret her to a run to Sheffield to my mothers so as to...

Flat Eric?

Sooo, I skipped training today and attacked those harnesses! Good new first: all colors on the Autospark one, so far, are the same as those in the repair manual (only exception in one in the engine bay). That is quite good! The rear loom is...

Rear harness almost in, engine harness connector labelled and routing figured out, dashboard removed, all after market wiring ripped out. Seems I have to pull out the heater unit as well, as the main harness passes behind it. There goes my TÜV...

Hi mate I'd just like to thank you, I've rebuilt the valve block and after some fiddling around with a split compressor pipe it air up extremely quick . Cheers 👍👍

Dealer can be three times if not more than say all makes 4x4 , the dealer part isn't going to last three times as long

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!

Specialist in emptying wallets.

Not a friggin specialist is he then?

There's enough guides and YouTube videos I should be fine, and t I be honest this forum has helped me more than anything. Better than my local landy specialist who refused to work on my car , due to " no experience with p38s"

Il do it one at a time ,take pictures, and following the guide. What can happen if you muddle them up?

Take the little exhaust filter out & check if there's air from the port while pump is running. If there is, then the diaphragm valve is leaking. That valve is on the same 12V that the pump uses, so it should engage together with the pump...

Thanks for the report back.

I changed the ignition coils with new BOSCH units. problem solved!!!!! by the way , I suspect that the problem came from a small leak from the Throttle Body Heater Plate damaging the plug , lead, and the coil for the cylinder 1 [exactly where the...

I do wonder if off road tyres should be legalised for road cars as not many roads count as proper roads any more!

The L322 is pretty versatile too.

Probably a better use than putting a drink in there and knocking it with your elbow on all those electirckery bits :D. J

Now that's one use !!

🤣

I used my 38' to stomp up to a village to give a cheeky girl my number who then gave me hers without hesitation 🤩 That was scary🤣 Then it'll go shopping with me on the Saturday ritual 😵

Yesterday i took my 1999 P38 for MOT at 2.45 pm and by 3.30 i drove it out with a pass. Not bad seeing it hasnt been on the road for 5 years but before it went in i had to replace 5 bulbs but that was all today i taxed it.

found a friend a rather nice D1 commercial.. :)

I've tested one of the motors you gave me with a 9v battery, spins nice and quiet, just tested the one on the car and it spins fine but is noticeably noiser. So I've just soldered your motor to my board. There isn't enough room to work on the...

passed its mot today after spending over £1300 quid on repairs, then told i had a advisory on front bottom arm ,play in ball joint ,only been on twelve months.:mad:

Today I learnt if you take a door card off a L322, make sure the mirrors are out. Confused the hell out of me when the mirrors were in opposite states to each other, one folded, the other out. Press the fold button and they swap over 😂

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...

Hang on - will check my spare heater box in the garage. Levers fully towards driver, air goes through the heater matrix. Fully towards engine cooled air bypasses matrix.
