    P38 DSE Front end Metallic Sqeak and EAS fault... connected?

    UPDATE: FIXED!!!!! Noise was a ver slack UJ. The air syspension was just a fault that was reset. The right and left side front where out by too much for the ECU. Now just need to get a hot start fix and we're away.

    P38 Warm starting problem

    The mod tricks the beast into thinking she's cold every time you start her up. Think a better explanation is in the actual link you have been provided. The cheapo ones do this constantly. The one Claw gave you the link to is a timed relay... so it only does this for 30sec from when the...

    P38 DSE Front end Metallic Sqeak and EAS fault... connected?

    Update: Engine oil toped up, Gearbox oil didn't need anything. If anything it's a little over filled already. Local garage thinks its in the drive train somwhere... so next question is what in the drive train could give a squeak noice like a bird singing at 1 to 2k revs and upto about...

    Back fire problem

    KJT: The miss could be a number of things... Check you plugs, leads first. The MAF is the Air flow meter -give the ECU info about the air gussing down the air intake. Sits just after the Air filter box and hsould have a multi plug on its right hand side (looking from front to back)...

    Range Rover Suspension Lowering

    You don't need to do a thing. Just keep running her for about a month; the system will fail, dump itself on the bumps.... Problem solved. Then you can ask the same question to all other RR owners do. How do I get her up off the Bumps...

    sports mode

    I hear that some LPG instalations have the sports mode disconnected to prevent heavy right foot and potentioil backfires. On the other had... the sports on the Ranger rovers are not like cars... example: my old Omega used to jump down into a lower gear when you pressed the sports which i used...

    Auto box dropping Revs

    what deos she idle at to atart with, what does she drop to and what does she settle out at after?
  10. jwaldron

    help please, overheating problem!!!

    If the engine is running hot - then I would expect her to use more oil (unless eomone better infomred off here corrects me). Therefore your oil usage will probably be secondary to the water usage.

    P38 DSE Front end Metallic Sqeak and EAS fault... connected?

    The dip stick says I have.... She does change gear an odd way though. Revs jump when changing up. And when you'r doing about 20mph as you slow without brakes... there is a vibration. Just wondering if all these are starting to sound connected or not.

    P38 DSE Front end Metallic Sqeak and EAS fault... connected?

    ahh... wasn't expecting that. I was always running on the fact it was probably a pully or crank shaft pully... food for thought. Is there an easy way to check if its the turbo bearing? if it is am I looking at a new turbo?

    P38 DSE Front end Metallic Sqeak and EAS fault... connected?

    Hi guys... After all the issues I've been avaing with LPG - I've gone Derv. I have a P38 DSE 97'' Auto. She has developed two faults at the same time so don't know if connected. 1) EAS fault. Stuck in High. Dash and lights showed fault whilst driving along. Fuse and relay are fine. No sign...

    eas fault

    Hi... I have the same issue. I was driving along and the dash beeped at me, showed me an EAS fault and all the lights came on the height setting selector on the dash. The car is stuck in the up position. I've checked the fuse, the relay and physical looked at and sprayed all the height...

    97 HSE 4.6 on LPG: LPG went POP. Changed MAF but still wont Idle (Single Point)

    Found the issue on this one... the blow back protection had blown. I have two copper washer type things on springs sitting int the plumb. One had blown out and not returned to the normal closed position... which was sucking in air. Reseated it and now she runs ok. THANK you to all who Helped.

    97 HSE 4.6 on LPG: LPG went POP. Changed MAF but still wont Idle (Single Point)

    just above the first mark which I think is 500? so I'd say she's grumbeling along at about 550 / 600. She seams to struggle to maintain this; especialy as you come off accelerator and coast upto a set of lights for example. Somtimes she dies. She doesn't like to idle, brake and stear...

    97 HSE 4.6 on LPG: LPG went POP. Changed MAF but still wont Idle (Single Point)

    Whipped the plugs out. All where very black with the thread being oily... and the tip being sooted and dry. What does this mean? The oily black deposit runs all the way up. Cleaned and replaced and she ran better. I think I found why she wasn't idling. I have two spring type things (think...

    97 HSE 4.6 on LPG: LPG went POP. Changed MAF but still wont Idle (Single Point)

    When you start her up - She revs on herself... which is something new since the pop. above say 2,000 to 2,500 revs she revs fine with no audible issues... After start - the revs rise as I said (only for a few seconds) then start to drop. When they get to around the 1,000 and Idle mark she just...

    97 HSE 4.6 on LPG: LPG went POP. Changed MAF but still wont Idle (Single Point)

    I was pulling up a hill on LPG with a heavy right foot and 1 green light left on the lpg gauge. Then we had an all mighty loud pop... which I can only assume was a blow back. Not wanting another one I switched over to Petrol and she continued to run at 50mph to 70mph as normal... when we got up...
