Well funilly enough I changed the plug leads for the third time on Wednesday night (Lucas standard ones brand new) as the 8mm leads I put on her were crap and have sent them back. Ignition was better, but not great. Although Thursday went without hiccup. I'm going to test battery/alternator in...

Right, tried the MAF trick and although ever so slightly better, she still jolted and juddered over 2k and kick down is a no go. Just for reference I tried her using 'D' '2' ans '3' and still holds off on the higher rev's :( Battery check next...

I appreciate all the help guys :D I may see if I can get my bro in law to dig his halfrauds trade card out although praying its the maf and not a duff torque converter etc

Cheers guys, I'll have a go tomorrow with the MAF and hunt some batteries out. Before I digging, anyone want to recommend a 'sensible' one (I.e. I'm nit winching or running 16 base boxes/amps :D)

Hi cheers for the advice, unfortuneately its got worse :( Set off this morning and soon as she hits 2100-2200 she judders and wont go anywhere as if she is not getting enough fuel etc, had to leave her at home...

Alright, Whilst my issues with no oil pressure at cold continue to be investigated, I picked up the RR from the garage tonight (had some cold oil pressure tests done) and went to overtake and on kick-down, she rev'd to about 3k and juddered/went no where, whereas previously kick down had give...

Just and update on this and I think I know what it is now... New leads are about 2/3mm smaller in diameter (the metal contact) than the old standard leads at he coil end, hence not contacting correctly, evident by black burn marks on a couple of contacts and one was an awful green colour all...

Range Rover P38 (P38a) Viscous Coupling (VCU) Test - YouTube Quick video I did for a test, hope it helps :)

I've done that schoolboy error before :o defo check that

I will be honest and say nope, couldn't figure out where drain was...:o

Here is a video showing the slack and noises I'm hearing from the transfer box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4bK01Joejg&feature=youtube_gdata_player What do people think?

Cheers for the comments and yep same garage, hence why I went to another to double check. Came to work today on both probs and noise not as prominent as before (the whine) but defo there. Incidently I have a VCU in its housing for sale at £75 delivered (what I paid) and has a 30 warrenty...

Not sure if anyone is interested, but I stuck this on YouTube as know the 'how too' is commonly asked : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XddClDAIfXw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

P.S. the whine is back but now I think the front diff is shot I'm enclined to think the noise is at the front, also the jolting on lift-off is gone so assume that was a consiquence of being in 2WD.

Well prop back on, tested VCU again for good measure and all ok, also had a play with ye VCU flange when handbreak off/in neutral and a fair bit of backlash but noise seemed to be very 'chain sound' from the transferbox. Have video'd the VCU test and that described above (badly) ill try post on...

Hmm, well ill be sticking the front prop back on regardless so after ive done it ill double check the VCU again to make sure still ok and go from there. With regards to rear diff, it was supplied/fitted by garage as 2nd and they maintain it was a good one, hence why I'm apprehensive about...

Many thanks for the replies people. With regards to the whine from 30-0 this started a few days after the replacement diff was fitted and I would have swore it was from the rear, the first garage (who fitted it) said it was rear winding up due to VCU when they road tested, but as I've noted I...

Alright, Another day another problem when owning a P38, this time, in my drive-train. Following a replacement*4-pin diff install 2 weeks ago (due to horrendous noise being a fooked pinion bearing) I continued to get a 'rumbling' on over-run from the rear at speeds over 50MPH then vanishes...

I know and I bought it and tried but could I hell get it off :o he had a right job too to be honest, although he removed the tensioner etc. Just wish the same could be said for my diff/VC issues... Got new diff two weeks ago and the VCU was "on it's way out" now they reckon it's buggered the...

Ok just got back from garage and had her pressure tested. Cannot remember the exact pressures but the Indie said with a big grin 'you couldn't ask for better on that' tested at both idle and 2500ish. Changed switch and so far (fingers crossed) it goes out under a second after start. I'm...
