sounds like a tractor!

4.6 has 133,000. Bought it in 04 with 67,000 on it. been a dream to drive and run with all faults being simple(ish) to sort, just keep coming on here for the best advice!

Thanks for the points on how to sort airbag faults, mine started today with an MOT tomorrow ARRRGGGGHHHHH, but yet again the threads on here saved the day!!

Hi, I wrote a few weeks ago about my P38 mis-fire. I changed the MAF and found the car reduced to an average of 7MPG and stank of petrol! great, however, I changed both Lambda sensors which has sorted the fault. Reading the advice given earlier I was unaware of the computer needing resetting...

Glad to be of help, I get lots of good tips from the guys on here so its nice to give something back!!

Update 2 Well the RR has had its computer read today, lean and rich faults were logged along with mis fires on all cylinders. It ran upto 3500rpm (warmer today!) before the mis fire so as you have all been saying it must be the MAF! P38spares was right when he said the ECU was getting confused...

I am having similar problems with the petrol, i had the ECU remapped last weekend and it sorted alot of the early mis-firing out, just relocated it to 3250rpm last weekend that is, this weekend it is upto 3500rpm, the fault codes this morning were lean and rich running and misfires on all...

Thanks to all for the replies, I have had a little progress. I spoke to a gent at P38spares.co.uk (he had a cheaper cam sensor) after a long look at the Rave manual post Gav briggs reply. He advised I get the ECU re booted to factory settings BEFORE replacing any sensors as the ECU could be...

yes the rubber drain pipes are the ones that drain onto the top of the gearbox, the rubber flap tends to get clogged some how. I clear mine with a piece of net curtain spring as it doesn't catch on anything. o As for the blend motors, i dont know sorry havn't had that issue yet! good luck

Sounds daft, but the thing never sleeps! Prove it to yourself by going out to it about an hour or so after you locked it up for the night and push down on a corner, you will hear the EAS clicking! Now laugh if you like but I'm right, if its windy outside it will constantly try to level the car...

Its generally the blend motors that get stuck in one place. I have the book of cold feet now and again, I found that a long trip (i.e midlands to west sussex generally works for me!!) tends to sort the issue out. Also if you remove the small triangular vent cover by drivers left ankle and have...

Interior mirror that has not leaked the fluid yet??

J the Range, Well I am nothing but persistent, but I tried to run her hot without the MAF but sorry she cuts out, wife with foot on throttle as well! Had a look under crank/cam sensors on Rave and it has come up with a number of faults that look promising, My garage are going to reset the ECU...

J the Range, Thanks, but the model with the Banana manifolds won't run without the MAF plugged in I've tried that. Gav Briggs, I will try those mate and reply over the weekend, but what do you mean by the rinb? Its been great this week gloating about having a big 4x4 in the snow, when all I...

Hi, I have a strange mis-fire with my 99 P38 4.6 only on cylinder 3and 4, I have changed plugs, leads, coil pack, swapped the injectors around to see if that moved the fault, done a compression test for the hell of it! tried most things. My garage seem to be sure its a porous block issue but it...
