Motor can also fail by pulling too much current. Don't recall what error that gives though

Motor failure as in jammed will show as a pot failure due to lack of movement.

Strangely the original parts seemed to last a very long while. I think he was referring to the labour but yes, their parts prices take the urine. Jaguar used to have an owners club card where they gave discount for old Jaguars and did deals...

Let me get the bag and see what's in it!

Dealer can be three times if not more than say all makes 4x4 , the dealer part isn't going to last three times as long

Last time I went for parts from my Landy dealer the kid pointed out the car was considerably older than he was and he generally only sees JLR cars still under warranty because the dealer prices are so high. Fair point!

Watching this thread. Err unwatched

But more AI posts Seb.

Any damp inside the car is likely to lead to electronic issues.

It will run on just 3 cylinders but no4 is the main one it needs

I’m no mechanic but I’m happy that it’s in the TDC hole. I thought it was supposed to be 4.61mm (.18”) clearance with more than 20,000km on the chains? It certainly shouldn’t be 10mm anyway. I’ll check it all again before digging into it at the...

Like most specialists and dealers

Specialist in emptying wallets.

They were supposed to be a reputable land rover specialist , I took my discovery 3 there a few times. They said the P38 is a specialty of it's own and neither of them had any experience of them. Threw a big spanner in the works as I would like...

Not a friggin specialist is he then?

There's enough guides and YouTube videos I should be fine, and t I be honest this forum has helped me more than anything. Better than my local landy specialist who refused to work on my car , due to " no experience with p38s"

Me too.

It's on here somewhere

Here`s Dave`s instructions sheet hopefully it worked

let me eat my dinner now its ready and i will see if i can manage to scan in and post the info he gave me that i printed out.

I've got one left that I got off kermie then I'm out. I changed a pot a while back but I can't remember if it was this blend motor or the distribution one above it. I'll have to search my posts to see which it was I was whinging about. Wanna flog...

I've had great success with the pressure testers. You can see those with the engine cold and turned off which makes actually finding the leaks a lot easier. If your leak is actually a cold fault (i.e. sealing up when it warms up) then that's...

I dont know where they are on that engine or how big, but should be pretty obvious to be able to test if it has (possibly) gone that way. J

Good to know it’s not just me… I’ve come inside for a tea and a distress. I’m going to go rummage around (in the rain) again afterwards. What a mess about!

Not that I can feel or get at with the flexi magnet. God I hope not. Where abouts are they located? I’ve had the magnet down all of the channels in the top and I’m confident I’ve checked every area. I won’t tell you…👀
