    p38 no drive

    That horrible noise when you put it in park is normally when the box input shaft is turning but there is no oil pressure to operate the brake bands. I can’t see it being the selector adjustment. Do you think there is any chance you could have broke the oil pump flanges off with the engine. Did...

    rough running...

    If it runs bad on both it could be dual fueling. Does it have a 3 position switch were you switch it to the middle position, wait till it runs out of petrol and then switch it to Gas. A quick test would be to pull the Positive wire off the Gas solenoid. It is usualy Blue but not always. If in...

    P38 DSE Overheating (yet another)

    The water gushing out under pressure is normal. Because it is a sealed system, the minute you open the cap you are letting air into the system and it boils. If you are towing then the fans are a big issue and the cooling system may just be struggling to recover with the turbo and the aircon...

    heater

    Sorry bit delayed getting back to you. If the buttons are lighting up then the ignition position 1 and 2 lives are ok. The system as garioch43 mentioned, does wait until it reaches a safe operating temperature. This prevents the evaporator from freezing. You really need to connect up some kit...

    heater

    Do the heated seat buttons work? There is a specific live that if it fails you get no program button no high speed fan and no heated seats.

    p38 warning lights on

    It could well be the pump. The only way of checking is by hooking kit up to it and see what faults are in the system. The Pressure switch on the side of the pump controls the relay you are bridging. It may be worth checking the connector plug to make sure the terminals are ok and making good...

    p38 w reg ranger rover not reving up

    Just to add: To pinpoint the issue to your airflow meter leave it unplugged and start the motor. Rev it up and see if there is any difference. If there is no difference then fault lies somewhere else. If it revs up quite clean then you definitely know it’s the MAF or its wiring.

    Immobiliser

    I don’t think thieves nick P38's any more as they know there’s only a 50% chance of getting home before it sits down on its arse and shows EKA lockout. A P38 has a security system all of its own. One in which the Dealer will charge £1200 to turn off. (Now, now, easy) Lol :)

    rangie wont start

    It may be the Becm and Engine ECU EMS codes do not match. If they don’t match it will crank all day long. Check the 12 pin white plug in the driver’s side kick panel. By your right foot. Check for any of the pins going green and causing bad connection. This plug has immobiliser signal wire...

    Don’t waste your money on the receiver. It will be a door lock fault, the becm Alarmed or locked or The fob itself. There is a test you can do here. P38 Range Rover Remote Fob Test-P38 Range Rover

    BMW 325 TDS M51 Engine problems please help

    This job sounds a bit like a rollercoaster that has no brakes. The first check with this fault is the potentiometer on the foot pedal. You can test the output with a cheap voltmeter. If the pedal is telling the engine I am on idle and you are travelling at 50mph imagine what noises you...

    Poor cold starting 2.5DSE

    Hi, no. No damage at all. I do the test myself all the time. I dont blame you for asking though. When you look around the internet at some of the advice being given, its a scary place. Cheers.

    Poor cold starting 2.5DSE

    Sorry for the late reply. There should be 12 volts when the Engine ecu is not switching the glow plugs on and 0 Volts when the Ecu is switching the glow plugs on. Occasionally if you have a poor earth from the Engine Ecu to chassis ground then the switched reading may be anywhere between 0...

    P38 Remote receiver

    The number I have for the new one is YWY500170. You can do a test to see if it is the receiver before you buy one. You can remove the aerial wire from the receiver. It is the wire that goes to the window glass not the 3 pin plug. This stops it picking up the stray signals. Your remote will...

    cranks but won´t start

    The only other obvious thing i can think to check is again in the kick panel the 10 pin white connector. It carries a power line and the immo signal wire. Sometimes they go green and it stops the communication.

    cranks but won´t start

    Yep that's the right light. The engine will still crank with a faulty crank sensor. The fuel Pump is mounted in the top of the fuel tank. Its not the best thing to do but you can check for fuel by pressing the shreader valve on the fuel rail. I think you need to get the ems codes checked and...

    cranks but won´t start

    He mentioned that the engine cranks but doesn't start so that probably rules out the gear position switch and If it needed the EKA it would normaly come up on the dash Eka lockout or Engine imobilised press keyfob.
