Thanks dude

Well that was strange, before I set off home I checked the coolant level and to my surprise it was normal, so I thought I would check to see if there was any pressure in the exp tank and the coolant almost spilled over, so I got my syringe and got the coolant down to normal level, put the cap...

With the amount of times my cap has been on and off it wouldn't shock me. Thanks for the advice everyone, I will post my findings. John

Yes I have a coolant pressure test kit also a exhaust gasses die for failed head gaskets, going to have another busy day tomorrow by the looks of it.

Hi All, I have a 4.6 V8 P38 Range Rover I have noticed this morning that the coolant level looked a little low, so I took the expansion tank cap off and a lot of hissing occurred and the level come back to just under the max. I was under the impression that a cold engine that had stood...

Thanks for the help everyone, think I'm going to go the bypass route as I say a simple Y connector will solve the problem. Thanks again John

Hi All, I have a 2000 p38 RR 4.6 V8, I am looking at the heater plate under the throttle body, I am just wondering why coolant needs to run underneath it through the heater plate. If it serves no great purpose then looking at it a 3 piece connection plastic pipe will enable me to bypass it...

Maybe something I look into, me and don1 did this job only a couple of years ago, we will see for the bit of work it is I think I'll just sort it.

I might as well continue this thread. I've been loosing coolant, so I've had the test kit on and in total I found 5 loose hose clamps causing the leaks, so drove to work Monday and no coolant on the ground....result, or so I thought, checked the coolant today and it's almost empty...

Thanks wammers, I didn't even know you could run the engine with the test kit attached that's brilliant information mate thanks.

Man I'm lucky, been looking online and found rave in PDF format for tablets and mobile view, max pressure for the v8 is 1 bar. Glad I didn't push it lol, I've posted a picture of the page I found.

Hi all, I have a P38 Range Rover 2000 4.6 V8. I've got myself a coolant pressure test kit, it's a great tool to have but I was wondering how much pressure I should be putting the system under before any damage occurs. I've been going as high as 1 bar / just under 15 psi. What is the max...

Hi all, Quick update to put this one to bed, I went to my dads as he has a set of ramps, I pumped the suspension bags up as much as possible and checked everything for an air leak, couldn't find anything so dropped off the ramps, checked where I fitted the valves on the air lines and sure...

Hi Wammers, that did cross my mind with the compressor one thing I'll check whilst I'm messing with it all, that was the only fault code on screen, thanks for the answer on that dude, leak detection is my next course of action. Thanks again John

UPDATE...... Rear driver side has gone down quite a bit, so ..... I will mix up some soapy water and start looking for leaks on that air bag. Would still like to know what that fault code means though if anyone has any clues. Cheers John

I did clear the fault code, I started the engine but the suspension would not go up. So as I say I used a compressor and manually pumped up the suspension, it seems to be still up after a couple of hours, if I can figure out what the fault code means then I can get it sorted. Unless it means...

The free software downloaded from source forge produced by Storey Wilson and the adaptor you get from ebay. Cheers John

Hi All, Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I have a 2000 P38 RR 4.6V8 Petrol I will start from the beginning, on my way home last night and just pulling up our street the EAS fault message come up on the dash, all four lights were flashing on the suspension height selector. Had a quick...

No I understood him perfectly thanks. Funny thing is this thread is closed, so why add to it by attempting to sound clever. Anyway the job is done, thread closed time to move on. Happy new year everyone.

Are you taking the ****, of course i'm not in the trade, im a DIY mechanic and if I was a main dealer would I be on here asking about part numbers, Jesus H Christ, go in a corner and think about what you said, you tit!
