Hi all, looks like I have a leaky PAS pump, is this an easy DIY replacement ? P38 2001 4.6 Thor ... Cheers

selling for a friend ! lol

wasnt DLR the reason volvos used to get the **** taken out of them ? Personally I think DLR looks crap , however , I have used the DLR from Greenwich to Bank , nice little run ;-)

afternoon all, picked up my car today from 4WMotors Earlswood, I cant recomenned these guys , (Rocky , his brother, their dad "One Arm Mick" ) enough. What they dont know about Rangies aint worth knowing ! Excellent excellent service. My P38 now runs better than ever, the problem was a...

here is the news ,,,, head gasket ok , water tested and ok, compression also ok. Garage been quite good, they say whats already been posted, either a worn cam or blown value as "its blowing back down the air inlet". They said the next step id to strip BUT have recommended I take it to...

cheers chaps, will get onto the garage again today and advise they follow all mentioned above, will post an update when I have it, many thanks again !

update- plugs and leads all replaced, no change still have the "popping" car now with garage, they "cant" find the problem but it is a backfire down the air inlet . Has anyone had a similar problem or know of a possible cause ? They dont think its the head but its not been ruled...

many thanks, definitely have gasses coming up from somewhere !!! looks like a complete pain in the arse to change :-( rather this tho than a head gone .... will up date with findings !

hi, thanks again for the info , sorry , quite "green" to the innards of the P38. What i did was remove the spark plug from where it screws in then started up , the noise then seemed to be coming from the chamber. I've removed each lead 1 by 1 and no difference, cant see any arching either...

right had another look at new spark plugs, the left hand side, 2-8, are all sooty, the left 1-7, not so bad, one was quite clean. I don't have any oil in the coolant, nor do i have any "white" substance in the top of the oil cap when taken off, or significant oil loss. All leads are giving...

thanks for all the helpful advise, Ive now noticed I have some oil spillage, as you look at the engine from the front the oil is on the right hand side, splatters on the air intake pipe. Could a "camshaft gasket leak" be causing the oil loss AND the popping / banging ? Many kind...

thanks guys, will have a look at the plugs in the next few days , (if the wife allows !!) . I was hoping for coils, any ideas of a HG fix ? £££££'s ??????? if so then time to scrap , which would be a shame as I love the thing !

Hi all, my P38 / 2001 / V8 / 4.6 Petrol / Vouge has developed a "popping" in the air intake unit, much like a backfire. Its not as violent as a backfire , I dismantled the entire pipe from the head and nothing apart from a little smoke came out, and noise. Ive change all the plugs as...

heres a new spin on the Sat nav of death white screen ! I had the battery replaced and the nob blew my satnav, ok radio muted so I unplug the sat nav and have a fully working radio, cd and sub. A week ago i went over a bump and every thing went off radio wise , plugged the sat nav back in and...

same problem here, removed sat nav months ago , radio and amp all fine, went over a bump in the week no sound ! put sat nav back in , guess what , sound but only to rear and no control over volume !!! happy days
