hi all,are there any other members based in n.ireland? especially co.fermanagh.don,t be shy come on and get in touch

have this evening fitted new plug leads and still same problem.when cold it is perfect,then when she gets warm,the old b***ch starts to cough & splutter and won,t rev out past 2000 rpm.please has anybody got any ideas before i do something stupid?

seems to be something to do with old style leads were made from 100% copper wire and now modern leads only have copper heads and are more prone to need replacing on a more ragular basis.:rolleyes::rolleyes:hoping you are only having a minor irritant,the good times make up for the bad:D:D:D

when changing plugs,i have been told that leads should be changed at same time.ihave found this out to my cost:eek::eek:see my recent thread:)best of luck with her:):) p38 4.0 cat problem?

:confused:i hope so to,was running like a dream and i was starting to relax and enjoy her,:)typical female,i should have known better:doh::doh:

have changed air filter and now sourced set of leads from an indy but still have to be ordered in,but at much more sensible money.may just hold back on the bonfire for another few days........

have been to main dealer and indy,s and cannot get plug leads until wednesday!!! great service backup from l/rover.main dealer also informs me i cannot buy leads as a set but each lead has to be bought seperatly and is priced in ascending order from £12 to £23:mad:can anybody spare a gallon of...

:(as i said,had it on main dealer computer testerday and showed everything was 100% but don,t know if plug leads would show up as a fault.will change leads today and try anyway,must get a new blade for the stihl saw whilst there in case this does not work!!!!:(:mad::(

:(:(hi gav,have fitted a new set of plugs,but not thought about leads.will do so today and try it out.am approaching end of tether with this car,thanks for reply:eek::eek::

Hi guys,advice needed pls.when car is cold it runs like a dream.as it warms up,it starts to miss at or around 2000 revs and won,t rev past this point as she gets warmer.have recently had heads done and also had new camshaft sensor fitted. today she was at l/rover main dealer who checked her out...

had exactly the same problem with my 4.0 and ended up replacing h/gaskets and skimming both heads after pressure testing.hope you don,t have same problem::

see my post p38 sudden overheat which was posted on 13/06/09. now have car back after head gaskets done,heads skimmed 10000thou and new cam shaft sensor fitted.126000 on clock and running like a swiss watch. most definatly get hydro carbon test done before you do anything else..best of luck...

have just had similar problem with overheating & rock hard hoses.have had to replace h/gaskets ,both heads pressure tested and skimmed,new stat fitted,now seems to be all ok. 4.0 engine with 124000 on clock
