    P38A What are the tallest tires you can put on a standard P38 16 inch rims ?

    Yeah we did it on my brothers p38. As far as i remember they not very sensitive. But we dont use that anymore more because in the meantime he's developed a ABS/TC interceptor. Its main purpose is to allow the ABS and TC to be turned on and off independently of each other. As a side bonus though...

    P38A What are the tallest tires you can put on a standard P38 16 inch rims ?

    I cant remember which ones exactly but two of the ones ive circled in red are labeled VR3 and VR4. VR4 changes the speedo offset. VR3 changes the slope. This bit i havent confirmed but VR1 adjusts temp gauge offset VR2 fuel gauge offset, VR5 and VR6 adjust the offset and slope for the tacho...

    P38A What are the tallest tires you can put on a standard P38 16 inch rims ?

    Incorrect There are two potentiometers on the back of the gauge cluster that are used to calibrate the speedo. They where used on the police cars to get an accurate speedo. They only calibrate the speedo itself though, so your distance measurements will be off.

    P38A What are the tallest tires you can put on a standard P38 16 inch rims ?

    There is almost no diffrence in steering and turning circle. High speed cornering is worse but are you going to race tracks in your P38? There is a huge diffrence in off road performance between stock and the 235/85R16

    P38A What are the tallest tires you can put on a standard P38 16 inch rims ?

    Im going to have to disagree with this. We have a P38 on stock air suspension thats on 235/85R16 and they fit. They do touch very slightly but not nearly enough to warrant trimming. On the rear axle under full compression they touch slightly on the top of the wheel arch liner. On the front axle...

    [P38] Exhaust gases in coolant

    Yeah if you didnt put the engine under load and the cap hadnt vented coolant yet i dont think you would have done damage. If you just idling your cylinder temps wont be very much above coolant temps. But on the other hand if you have 118deg coolant temp but you at 50% engine load your cylinder...

    Correct coolant for a 1999/T P38 (Thor)

    Ive been using Liqui Moly KFS12. That should be available pretty much anywhere. I wouldnt use tap water, it will leave deposits in your coolant system. Deionised is the best and distilled is second best. You should be able to get distilled for reasonably cheapish from your local hardware store.

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Yeah thats pretty much the conclusion i came to too. Itll work to run a normal cut ring and pinion in the front but its gonna be abit more noisey and wear faster and be weaker(but the fact thats its only an 8 tooth pinion makes it way stronger than stock). On the plus side though you can reverse...

    P38 BeCM locked?

    About 2 months ago my brother managed to get an eka code directly from landrover, they only asked for a vin number and it was the correct eka code they gave us. This was from landrover South Africa though.

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Anyone with any experience with fitting Ashcroft 4.12 ratio ring and pinions to p38 diffs? My brother and i have been busy with this all weekend. First question: when he ordered the new ring and pinions he just ordered 2 sets without paying attention to having a reverse cut ring and pinion for...

    Yeah just follow the ARP instructions. Let it rest between torque stages too. The time you take to finish a beer is a good amount of rest time.

    P38A EAS again.

    We have tried to order height sensors from Island 4x4 multiple times with no luck. Either they just dont respond or they respond with no stock. Because of this we are busy developing a mod that will allow you to fit magnetic potentiometers that are contactless with a 50million cycle lifetime...

    AN Lines on a P38

    AN stands for army navy. Its a very universal usage fitting style developed by the americans in like 1930 i think to be field serviceable, reusable and not need any special tools to assemble. Most of the stuff is rated upto 1000psi and 260 deg celsius.

    AN Lines on a P38

    So this whole story started with my engine oil cooler lines starting to weep oil where the rubber joins to the steel hoses. I had some AN8 bungs welded onto my engine and gearbox oil coolers and fitting some very nice looking lines. Then it kinda became an obsession where i want even more AN. Im...

    [P38] Exhaust gases in coolant

    Just try and get as much of the crap out of the cylinders as you can. Obviously all the threads in the block. You can also flush the coolant passages with a hose pipe just to get some of the loose debris out.

    [P38] Exhaust gases in coolant

    Yeah cylinder 8 bore actually looks fine form those new pictures. From the pictures it does not look like any of your liners have slipped either. You might have a coolant leak past the hg into your cylinders but its kinda hard to tell that from pictures, the hg doesn't look good around the...

    P38A V8 Fuel Leak

    What silicone hose did you get? Reason im asking is im replacing it too but couldn't find fuel resistant silicone. Silicone degrades in contact with fuel so the hose needs some sort of liner inside it. I just ended up ordering a rubber one.

    P38A Front diff pinion wobble?

    From quite a number of hours of research on the proshaft phasing topic: In phase being where the u joints line up with each other like the rear driveshaft does. -All genuine LR front driveshafts for the P38 have the u joints set slightly out of phase (i think its like 2 teeth on the slip...
