just thought i would give it a go,what do i need? can it be done properly at home or does it need proffessional equipment,training, i have changed heads before,stripped petrol engines,not really got that involved with diesels,but i can read and follow instructions,so am willing to give it a go...

fancy doing mine? 147,000 is a bit more acceptable,some beer tokens in it for you.

this imo is unacceptable a pump should last 200,000 miles at117,000 it should not be fooked,mine is not far off 124,000 bosch unavailable to comment referred back to range rover(surprise surprise)

it is your vehicle you do what you think,who cares what others think,if it starts and goes that is all i am concerned about,(for my p38 every day is a challenge)

thanks to that man,the p38 bible.

at last i have the problem diagnosed and firmly points at the fip not so much pump as electronics in pump,but because of the labour charge wouldn't be worth changing the electronics and also it is quite tricky to do apparently,revving to destruction was mentioned among physics and weird...

haven't got rave,not yet anyway. sorry mr wammers you wanna spank me.:mil47: ok have found help from a previous thread,sorry!

yes done that seems better but still seems as tho i have air in system,normally goes but this is being a bitch,do they normally self bleed?

hi as the title suggests difficulty in removing air from system,do you just need to crack one injector,or bleed the clear pipe and the injectors,or injector.

got some tappet oil additive,just changed the oil,and levels are ok all quite again now.

progress eh, somethings are best left alone,what is wrong with manually adjusting tappets?

adjust them i thought they were hydraulic on the p38?

this has happened recently,only for a few seconds from cold then calms down,is this the beginning of the end? vehicle has done 124,ooo miles

thankyou for that info,i did it the hard way as i wanted to clean the tank out,fair bit of crud in there,and didn't want that sludge to be picked up by the new pump.

hi just replacing the in tank pump,the amount of crud around the bottom of the pump it is a wonder it ran at all,bought a new pump,can i just put the new pump in and away you go or will it need re sync? the tank will be cleaned out too before i put it back on.

please leave your name and address, may be some revised editions to follow.

the clicking noise on mine is the air suspension settling

sorry it is a p38 you will be severely financially raped,are the air bags in good order? any obvious leaks? any faults flash up, any fuel being sucked up? spark? ignition system in good order,check all earths,even the ones that are a bastard to get to, have you tried praying? have you read the...

hi if anyone has one,let me know how much please. mine is on the way out. 4310 is the number on the ecm.

everything is always pointing at the fip,this is not always the case,however in high mileage vehicles 200,000 miles + i would expect fip wear,but around 100,000 miles that is not really acceptable,however any diesel specialist worth his salt should be able to time the pump up or adjust to take...
