    Anyone with a 4.0ltr P38 near me?

    Alright, Since changing plugs/leads on my P38 I'm sure its being gutless but in all honesty, I'm getting a tad paranoid about stuff so may just be me. Hence does anyone around my area (Darlington) have the same model as me who wouldnt mind giving me something to compare? Have a blast of...

    P38 Oil Pressure Light - How Long Shoult it Stay on?

    Just an update, still not changed the switch/cleaned strainer as been too busy, however, made an observation that on a morning, when I come to start the RR the light stays on for about 5 seconds but when leaving work some 9 hours or so after standing, it takes about 10-15 seconds. Only...

    Cheers for the comments, nope not changed the switch yet as wa sa bloody nightmare trying to get a tool too it, so gave up until I can get a crowsfoot socket or similar.

    P38 Oil Pressure Light - How Long Shoult it Stay on?

    Cheers for that, just had a thought after reading range rovers.net and their comments on priming V8s. Not had chance to do the strainer yet, however, ive just been having a look under the bonnet and noticed the crank pulley (big one at bottom and centre) has a slight wobble... that cannot be...

    Spark Plug and Lead Change = Misfire on LPG

    Cheers guys, had the RR to the indie who noted the noise and then back to the LPG man who said it was just the sound of the LPg injectors via the valve (apparently an old type of injection) and he checked with the laptop/did an emissions test and all ok... Id sware it didn't sound like...

    Spark Plug and Lead Change = Misfire on LPG

The ones I am using are: V8 High Performance HT Lead Set 94-98 HLS102XP Island 4x4 - Specialists in...

    P38 Oil Pressure Light - How Long Shoult it Stay on?

    Is it a bitch to change out? For that price I may just ask my indie to do it for me as combind with labour it wouldn't seem that unreasonable. It was the Indie who suggested pump getting 'lazy' around that milage, although would appear to a very badly designed pump if that was the case. Anyone...

    Cheers Wammers, just gingerly done the test (4 times to be sure lol) and the light stays off for about 2-3 seconds when ignition turned to the 'on' position. So that definately means no crank issues then yes?

    P38 Oil Pressure Light - How Long Shoult it Stay on?

    Hmm, ill be keeping my eyes open for another pump too then, did have a wonder if a inadiquate battery may cause it too as the initial cranking over may not be enough to pressureise? My battery definately needs replacing. The RR had a reconditioned engine fitted by landrover in 2005 at 85k and...

    P38 Oil Pressure Light - How Long Shoult it Stay on?

    Yeah I'm well aware of the 'you get what you pay for' saying, however, I bought it as part of a service pack from island 4x4 and used a similar service pack in past on my DT and was quite happy, I also like to change oil/filters regulary so thought wasn't a bad bet. May drain the oil and...

    P38 Oil Pressure Light - How Long Shoult it Stay on?

    Ok well I finally got round to changing the oil and filter yesterday, took a couple of picks of the fitler off etc however, all seemed fine and oil was very dark but not slugde etc. Did get another pressure switch however, coudn't find the location of the old one so didn't install... Anyways...

    Spark Plug and Lead Change = Misfire on LPG

    Right just checked leads and all in the correct places, seems strange it is only one bank off however and the bank I had a right mere with due to my LPG components being in way!

    Spark Plug and Lead Change = Misfire on LPG

    I think so mate, I did them all one by one and followed the numbers on the cables to the coils and back etc. I'll go and have a check in a minute to be sure. Kicking myself to be honest as it was sweet as a nut but thought a full service would make her... Sweeter :doh:

    Spark Plug and Lead Change = Misfire on LPG

    Alright, Well spent a good few hours doing a full service on my 97 4.0 V8 and fitted a set of after-Market leads from Island 4x4 whilst I was at it. Now I had a full LPG service and new injectors installed on Wednesday and was blown away with the difference in how the truck felt, however, now...

    2 Pin Diff in Rear of V8 4.0?

    Hi cheers for the reply, Hmm sounds like it thought was a bit strange, although ive paid for a 4 pin to be fitted so it better be. Just finished servicing her, new oil, filters, plugs leads etc and now have a misfire but on LPG only.. any ideas before I put the old leads back on?

    2 Pin Diff in Rear of V8 4.0?

    Alright, Just a query really, I was under the impression that all V8 P38s had 4 pin rear duff's and 2 front then the diesel's had 2 pin all round, however, just picked up the RR yesterday after a diff change (mine was noisey as hell) and there is a nakkered 2 pin on the deck (the centre mass...
