The P38A is modular so each computer works separately. Most systems are the same across diesel and petrol with the exception of the EMS and the HEVAC on the GEMS and even then I think the way the HEVAC communicates with diagnostics is the same.

Hawkeye and then that Britpart thing whose name escapes me. Might be Lynx? Edit: forgot the Storey Wilson paid for software. Tgat probably does it.

Unfortunately Turner's rebuilds have been the subject of comment for some years now. V8 Developments seem to be the preferred choice at the moment, albeit they have something of a waiting list issue.

Injector screws into the ally head. I've got a feeling RAVE says 60 nm in one place and 70 nm in another. Pretty sure I went 60 nm on mine and they've been fine. I didn't even anneal mine, just torqued them up on the new head.

Yep. Early v8s had a smaller alternator too, I think.

The max power is set by the number of turns on the coils. Only rewinding the alternator will change that. Volts go up, amps go down.

None of my injector copper washers would come off. I suspect the new ones might not fit tightly enough around the injector.

I seem to recall a member on here getting a replacement cartridge for not a bad price. Easy to do. @brianp38dse might remember who it was.

13.8V is the old alternator set point. Not enough for a calcium battery. You can replace the alternator regulator to give 14.3 or even 14.5V but it will only have the same power so takes longer to charge a big 1k CCA battery. Replacing the regulator is about £20 and will need to be done anyway...

How many miles?

Spunds like part of yhe can-bus system? @Saint.V8 played with that on his L322.

Been there before. Everything crossed here.

Sounds more like the FIP is tired or the chains are stretched so far the modulation goes out of range. Need diagnostics but you might get away with tapping the FIP ever so slightly towards the engine but that just puts off the inevitable. Better to do static timing, check the lift pump is...

Did you try Wych Bearings? They've always come up trumps for me.

Not entirely what I meant. Like Dan I was home-based for 13 years but went out on client site until the lockdown. A lot comes out when you work in an office together that doesn't come out online. Plus, the youngsters in the office (or at home) don't get the chance to learn all your little tricks...
