Hi josh. The fuel in pipe should go to the top of the pump closest to the timing chain end. When you turn the ignition on you should get fuel pumping out for about 10 seconds. Luke

Hi Josh. When i changed my engine i didnt swap over the injector. It started first time. Make sure you have got diesel bleed up to the injectors, to do this undo each injector pipe a couple of turns and then crank over the engine. You should have a small amount of fuel run out around the nut...

Do you have to use the special tools as described in the rave manual ? Can you remember how much it was for the head bolts and gasket ?

Very good. Just made me smile, first time today

Thanks for that geekfreek. Put my mind at rest. I have taken it for a better run tonight and i am actully quite impressed with the performance the only problem now is i think the head gasket is fooked. Sometimes I just hate range rovers !!! The engine swap was straight forward and went back...

Wishfull thinking i call it. My 2008 already off to a bad start. Swaped my engine and now found i got a blown head gasket and to top it all i booked a holiday to kenya a day before all the fighting broke out !!! Hope everybody else's is better.

Yes it is the 2.5 diesel. The big ends were so shot that i couldnt bring my self to run the engine for very long so i never got to drive it. I have another 2.5 dse but that one is automatic and has a psi power box fitted so cant really the two (the new engine one is manual) Im gona swap the psi...

Hello. Yes there should be fuel pumping out of the filter when you disconnect the fuel out pipe but only for the first 10 seconds or so of ignition turn on. Does it start ok after the first start of the day if so I would check the fuel leak off pipes between the injectors as these can become...

Hi all. I have just fitted an omega engine into my p38 to replace the knackerd engine that i got stiched up with when i bought it !!! I took it up the road for a quick spin this evening and it seems a bit gutless (more so than usual anyway) I havnt had it running for very long yet and havnt...

Hi Ian. I had a similar problem with my 2.5 dt. I bought it as a non runner and was told by the bloke selling it that there was a problem with the becm. I sent the engine ecu, becm and key fob off to Mark at mtec. He checked them over, unlocked and sent them back to me for £100. There was...

Hello. Check out the other threads on here but i think you will find it is the fuel return pipes on the injectors that have gone hard and perished allowing air into the system. This is an easy repair and cost only a few quid. Hope this is of help Luke

Hello all. Im looking for some feed back. Im thinking of starting up a mobile vehicle diagnostic and repair business in the Cornwall Devon area. I was wondering how many people would be interested in this sort of service. Any comments gratefully recieved. Thankyou Luke

Hi all. Well i finally got it started. Sent the becm and engine ecu off to mtecuk, no faults were found. Mark at mtec was very helpfull and will definatley use him again. Really knows his stuff. He told me to check the battery voltage on cranking as the becm needs a good 12 volts to oppperate...

Hi rdb. Thanks for that but unfortunately its not gona be that simple !! Wills. Thankyou for the link to mtech, I spoke to them this morning and have since posted my becm and ecu off to them. Very helpfull on the phone and sound like they know what they are on about. Hopefuly will get them back...

Update : The injector light comes on when you turn on the ignition and then goes out, There is power to the fuel stop solonoid. Fuel is pumped up to the injection pump. Does anyone know what readings I should get at the multi plug that goes to the injection pump ? If there is a fault with the...

Hello all. Hope somebody can help. I have just bought another p38 !! I must be mad aint I ? It dosnt start, The engine turns over but dosnt even try to fire. There are no warning lights or messages on the dash. I must admit I havnt had chance to look at any thing yet. The bloke I bought it off...

Hi Andy I would start with the lkeak of pipe, You should be able to get it from any motor factors for a couple of quid. If that dosnt cure the problem I would then go for the heater plugs as all the one way valve is doing is stoping the leakoff pipe problem. I first replaced the heater plugs on...

Hi. I have a 2.5 dse and have fitted a psi powerchip. What a difference that made. I pity anybody who drives a dse without one !!

Hi mate. I had the same problem with our dse. It turned out to be the injector leak off pipes letting air into the system overnight. There was no visable signs of fuel leaking out of them. Took about 10 minutes to replace and a couple of quid. Hope this is of help Luke (eightinavee told me...

Hi Tev. What did you do to cure it ? Just flush the radiator or have to fit a new one ?
