    P38A Engine block

    I've now refitted my good rangey with the last head off the over pressurising one and hey presto towing my box and 45 lambs she kept immaculately cool. Guess that indicates that the head wasn't the problem. If I leave the fans off she just rides a little higher on the temp, I keep the fans on as...

    P38A Engine block

    Hi all, it's a 1997 diesel auto p 38 Ive been plagued with overheating, over pressurisation. I've bought fitted two secondhand, supposed, good heads, one of which was tested, serviced not skimmed by a reputable engine specialist but to no avail. It still over pressurised, blew water out and...

    P38A eas problems

    1998 auto diesel Hi all, my motor decided to sit on her haunches on a motorway run . LImed her home with the four lights flashing and the high mode light lit. Put the nanacom on it and it gave me a fault of front left height sensor out of range . I swapped the two front ones over and it gave me...

    P38A Upgrade

    Hi all general question, I was looking to upgrade from my 98 p 38 diesel auto, to a l322 but reading the forums, are the auto boxes so bad they generally give up at 80 to 110 k? Plus are the engines as bad as the forums seem, bad cranks, Think I'll stick with my ole p 38

    P38 2.5 DSE Non starter. 1999.. Plus No Reverse..

    I had similar problem, did all you have and more. Took the crank sensor out, fitted substitute, no joy put old one back in. In desperation went back checked the pump output after the filter, all good, took filter off checked output, all good, screwed filter back on, she started injecting...

    P38A trickle chargers

    You might get lucky, like me and find that big battery cures a few electrical gremlins as well.

    P38 2.5td injector pump

    I had problems with no fuel, but my in tank was working. You need to see if the in tank pump is working OK

    P38A trickle chargers

    Yep plus one, bought a few mf 31 over the years off them, good people to deal with. Did have one a couple of years ago that went duff, had a print off, off Halford, emailed them it, next day new battery arrived and they collected the old one. Great service

    P38A Diesel cutting out

    When idling if I rev to 2000 release, lamp flashes on. She doesn't stall. If I rev to 3000 and or above release the lamp doesn't flash. When driving on road it doesn't flash probably the auto box and my driving. Nanacom says fuel flow out of range, major fault, intermitant

    P38A Diesel cutting out

    Solved Noticed around the fields it cuts out 2,75p,then 3000 no real consistency. Last time it cut out wouldn't restart, lifted bonnet and stop solenoid buzzing. Whacked it, started, got back to yard after 4 more cut outs. Changed the stop solenoid and so far no more cutting out. Thinking on...

    P38A Diesel cutting out

    I'm tempted to adjust the pump to 75 80 as the other two ranges. If so do I adjust the pump towards the engine or away?

    P38A Diesel cutting out

    Hmm, been working so decided to try the lady up our lane. Surprisingly she will rev to 2750 and above in low box. I'm beginning to wonder if the cutting out occurs when warm only? Also I've connected the nanacom to two of my friends diesel p 38. Their modulation are 72 and 85 yet both seem to...

    P38A Diesel cutting out

    Thanks to all. Never had a problem with the injector light previously. She just would not start one morning, no fuel bei g injected. Checked pump output, flattened two batteries, changed and synced the ecu on the engine, no start. Stop solenoid clicking. Changed cps, flattened two more...
