looked at various videos, is it possible to diy clean as effectively as professionals?

Haha! Amazing work pwood999. Thanks for the info. Just got a new pump. Last job is the injectors...

I thought you had to reset no matter what, if you have "35mph only"??

Thanks Wammers. If land rovers were as reliable as you this forum wouldn't exist! Sadly my dealer is Tim fry Cheltenham. Told me they had one, had a bumpy ride there and nothing on the shelf. So trying to get to Salisbury via Kieth Gott in Hampshire. Currently at my workshop. Near Cheltenham...

Right pump packed up. All lights flashing 35mp only etc... Is there any way to wang a compressor up to the pipe and blow in enough to get to my dealer who has a new pump? I have tried already but I guess it needs to be reset before the valves will open???

Finally water problems solved, new stat in. Needle sits nicely in the middle/straight up. Thank god. Now it's only the EAS playing up. Very slow compressor. New one needed!

Hello all, new pump in (fortunate as the old one was original and plastic had fallen apart) new rad in, useful as old one had a leak. Not sure what model uses the gearbox oil cooler? Mine has a separate cooler behind where the passenger front fog light would be in the posh models. Anyway, got...

ok well thats all encouraging. funny you say about the washer fluid on the forecourt - Grrrrrr.... thats exactly what it had at the london garage i pulled into!

Any opinion on cracked head from overheating? Suppose it's just a wait and see kind of thing.... anyone want to buy a nice P38?
