    P38A Engine speed dropping at tick over

    Cheers. Just as an aside. If this was the case would it account for my engine management light flashing on when I lift off the accelerator?

    P38A Engine speed dropping at tick over

    Hi all, Just noticed something today with the rangie. It is a 1998 2.5 dse automatic and the problem is that on tick over the engine speed drops to a point that it feels like it will stall but doesn't. The feeling is very similar to having a manual gearbox at tick over but lifting the clutch to...

    P38A Binnacle odometer lights

    Hi guys, I have a 98 P38 2.5 DSE and the lights behind the odometer on the centre binnacle have failed. Is there an easy way to exchange these without having to completely remove the binnacle i.e. can you remove the cover below the steering column and then reach up behind?? Just being lazy as...

    P38A EAS problem

    Cheers Wammers. It's just that it seems to do it even when sat level and wondered if the exhaust valve was stuck maybe. Anyway, you are the Guru and trust your judgement so many thanks. Buzz

    EAS anomoly

    Hi guys, I have a P38 2.5DSE and have something I can't find elsewhere in other threads. The issue is that when I sit at a junction with my foot on the brake the EAST pump kicks in. When I lift my foot it stops. Put my foot back and it kicks back in. I can understand this happening...

    CV boot gaitor replacement

    Hi John, I have literally just done mine. Once you get to the point that you have the hub removed the cv joint will come out. I would purchase a new seal for where the drive shaft enters the differential. Mine was ok but if you have the cv joint and shaft out it makes sense to replace it...
