sorry! think i my have pm'ed you with the same message twice, can't get used to this new interweb thingy, i don't think it will catch on personally:eek::eek:

Where i live its all Koreon's and Asian's and i've got to agree with wammers, they ever just keep coming no matter if there's room or not, or they stop and have a chat in the middle of the road, there nearly as bad as the recycling trucks that will drive past a parking space and pull up in the...

Popped in to wish a mate happy xmas and all that old nonsense today, i parked outside his place for no more than ten minutes, its a nice quiet street with no through traffic, and when i came out some numb nuts has smashed my drivers side mirror to pieces!! does any body know if a ten pin mirror...

i have just replaced mine with the same radiator from island 4x4, and i left the connections on the bottom of the rad blanked off with the plastic covers that it came with, iv'e had no problems with mine, when i spoke to them before i purchased it i had the same concerns, but they advised me...

charming!

finally got my lovely p38 running properly and using it at any opportunity, when ever i pass another landy i give a little wave(the wife hides her face, but the kids think its a right laugh that dad has lost the plot!) trouble is nobody's waving back, miserable sod's, so do you wave if you see...

took me bloomin ages to work out why it wouldn't start when i did mine, only needs a tiny amount of movement on the top of the pump to change the idle speed, mines still a bit lumpy when its cold, but i'm going to let every thing settle down for a couple of weeks before i tweak it up, hows yours...

iv'e got the variable thermostat fitted, but how hot should i let it get before i set the fans to come on? the gauge can be sitting at 12 o'clock and the temp at the hose is 90 oC+ should i let it get to say 95 oC? as the gauge is only just starting to move off the 12 o'clock mark at that...

Guys have searched high and low on here and in rave, but i can't find the answer to this question, i know that the thermostat on my 2.5 dse opens at 80 oC but when my temp gauge is at 12 o'clock what temp would be considered as the normal running temp? taken on the hose on the right hand side...

many thanks Datatek, will try that tomorrow

i can turn the fans off by rotating the temp control knob, so i'm guessing that its nothing to do with the fan relay sticking, the aircon does not work and has been disconnected at the compressor so i don't think its any thing to do with that, whats the best way to test the thermostat? should i...

This is a question for Datatek, having finally completed my engine swap in my 96 2.5 dse, i'm now sorting out all the little snagging bits before i put it back on the road after an overheating issue killed the previous engine, iv'e fitted Datatek's cooling fan mod and set it up as per the...

yes, but only the top of the pump, iv'e just finished doing the same swap myself and it was a lot more involved than i thought, don't throw anything away as there are lots of bits and bobs that you will need from the rangy engine, even the bracket for the engine cover is different, hope it all...

This thing is fighting me every step of the way, got the thing running last night but it was to late to really finish the job off and take it for a test drive. Got a phone call from Mrs Lucky this morning at work asking me and i quote "what is that black **** all over my drive, that's coming out...

Project pile of poo is finally running :banana::banana::banana: after a shed load of time, money, sweat, blood and many tears, iv'e finally completed the fitting of a bmw engine into my p38, after the previous engine sadly passed away, r.i.p. range rover engine,as many of you are aware you have...

will double check when i get home from work this morning but i'm sure its white, if its not for temp gauge, what does it do?

I don't trust the landy gauge, so i wanted a more accurate gauge as well as the dashboard one:)

Sorry guys my description wasn't to clever, the sensor is located above the fip as has been rightfully pointed out, if memory serves me right its white in colour and has two electrical connections inside, i might plug a normal temp gauge into it and see what reading i get when(if) i get it...

It is a non egr engine and i,m glad you mentioned the sensors, as iv'e not changed them over to the range rover ones, any idea if i can use the spare two pin one at the front of the head to connect a proper temp gauge? as i'm going to be paranoid about the damn thing overheating again, if mrs...

Hi guys i need to tap into that wealth of p38 knowledge that is out there, iv'e just about completed swapping a bmw engine into my p38 and as part of the process i swapped the tops over on the fip, the problem i have is that i need to slide this backwards or forwards to set the idle speed, but...
