    RRC 3.9 v8 wont start

    I have something similar with mine. Starts and runs fine (not rough) but will then stop after 4 or 5 minutes and won't restart again until it's stone cold the next morning. Pulling the plugs always reveals no fuel (plugs bone dry). If I get it started again the next day and then pull the plug...

    I know the feeling well. I have to sweep up every time I manage to move it:)

    Bcm centre console switch pack

    Only by plugging it in to another BeCM. Not a clue about repairing it I'm afraid.

    My works computer must be blocking something - how much is it?

    Renewing Brake and clutch fluid tomorrow. advice!

    Good God! Fanatic being 'nice'???:confused: Has someone nicked his login? Or will normal abusive service be resumed as soon as he wakes up from this nightmare he's currently having:D:D:D

    Major oil leak

    Aye but don't forget the damage you might do getting it out too if it drops - both to the box and yourself.:)

    Renewing Brake and clutch fluid tomorrow. advice!

    As wammers says, you've definitely read it wrong. Start at the master cylinder, then the front calipers, then back to the master cylinder (different bleed points to the first time), then to the rear calipers, then finish off at the front calipers. Some you do with ign on, some with it off. Read...

    warm start problem

    Fine thanks Jorjio - Ok, I can see why the mechanic would come to that conclusion but it wouldn't explain why it it fires up ok when it's cold UNLESS the ECU runs the fuel pump for a longer period when it thinks the engine is cold than it does when the engine is hot. I suppose it could make...

    Then be ready for it and find and buy one of those circuit testers! Sealey

    Major oil leak

    I've never done a RangeRover box but from accounts on here, they're extremely bloody heavy and it's not recommended to do the way you want to do it. I know needs must though so if you do, make sure you have a jack or something secure under it. You will not be able to hold it up on your own and...

    warm start problem

    Hi again Jorjio I wouldn't have thought all 8 injectors needed replacing unless you've done a starship mileage. I'd also question whether a duff non return valve in the pump would give you the symptoms you're getting. I think I would dismiss that one. I have a problem with my old 3.9 where...

    A blowing exhaust will affect the readings. Until you've sorted that, you'd be wasting your time with anything else. The access hatch makes doing the fuel pump a doddle doesn't it! Bloody P38s don't have that.

    Just bear in mind that there's hundreds of P38s for sale up and down the country. If in any doubt about anything, walk away. There'll be others.

    RRC brake failure

    Looks like you have to do a bit of fault finding then working backwards from that connector. Next back is the relay K102. If you can find this under the passenger seat, you need to check for power into the relay base on pin 30 (from fuse F4) which should be a brown and orange wire and power out...

    Help me get her back on the road :)

    :welcome2: Hello and welcome. CO too high - is yours fitted with cats or is it a non cat? Fuel filter - the earlier type to yours just had nippled ends where the hose pushed over and was secured with jubilee clips. May be a solution. Pump removal - I'm sure your boot floor should have an...

    EAS messing about

    I have these on mine. Never been off road with it. On road, I would say they're a little firmer and the car feels 'tighter'. However, the ones that came off were pretty shagged so it's not really a good comparsion. Quite happy with them though. Can't tell you what they were like to fit as I had...

    p38 2.5 wont start

    Aye, fair enough wammers. It's just me being pedantic about drawings. I'm one of those sad people who actually enjoys tracing through them. As you say, as long as it works. What's on the agenda for the next 'discussion' then?:D:D:D
  18. Derek Ward

    Abs Light

    Possible. Symptoms like that are usually a wheel sensor not reading correctly. Only way is each wheel off in turn to see if there's anything obvious.

    p38 2.5 wont start

    Aye, I know what it says. It's not the same throughout though. It changes for the 99 on where it is switched on from the starter relay. 95/96/97 show a connection that could be linked but is actually shown as 'Not Used'. I think this is quite possibly wrong and it is actually used so that the...

    RRC brake failure

    Don't know to be honest. I can't check mine as I'm not at home and won't be for a couple of weeks yet. F1 feeds the supply for the ABS Load relay K101 and then the ECU F2 feeds the ECU F3 feeds the ABS pump relay coil K102 which is earthed via the ABS pressure switch unit F4 feeds the ABS...
