Yep, same as mine. only comes on when engine is warm.

Thanks Eightinavee, Do you know if this engine with its ali sump will fit in place of my gems lump with a steel sump. Are the sumps interchangable? will this bolt onto my existing gearbox with out any problems. thanks Bryan

Hi, We thought we may be looking at a oil pump problem and this has been changed for a new one complete with front cover. I have spent the last 5 months with my engine and have striped it back to a block and rebuilt it twice and still cant sort the oil pressure problem. every time it has had...

Hi, The engine was rebuilt by us. the block was machined and had top hat liners fitted by Owslebury Crankshaft services in Winchester. They have done a few for us over the years and would recommend them to anyone. My Engine set me back around £4k in parts but having the block, crank and heads...

Hi, You might want to read www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/v8-engine-problem-58167.html I am going through this one and its a night mare. I have had no choice but fit a new lump in mine. (AGAIN) as I have replaced ever component on the engine and rebuilt the entire thing again and am still getting...

Hi All, The time has come for me to change the engine in my 4.0 P38 range rover. I have found a later type engine with gems ignition system complete but this was for a discovery II and as such there are some slight differences. The engine I have found is a complete turn key engine and as such...

well mine has been off the road for the last 4 months with low oil pressure problems. I have rebuilt the lump 5 times the first of which stood me in a obscene amount of readies and for what it still not to be right. dont you love them. hope you all have had a good crimbo.

not wanting to state the obvious but have you checked to see the throttle cable or cruise control cable are not jammed. (i had this with mine when i caught the cable when sorting another problem.) Just a thought

Hi All, I am really running out of ideas on my oil pressure problems. This week I have fitted a new oil pickup pipe with new oring, and in cranking it over it appeared to have stopped my air in the oil problem. All i was getting was oil coming out of the heads which feed the rocker gear. So...

Okay the plot thickens. I have fitted a brand new front cover and oil pump with both the pressure relief valves fitted. It has made sod all difference to the oil pressure. I have run the engine on the semi synfetic oil as i have always done, changed the oil to a 15/40w oil and on the...

Hi All. It turns out that the front cover is drilled for 2 pressure relief valves and depending on which engine management system you are running (gems or motronic) depends on were the relief valve hides. the blanking plug which I removed next to the oil filter housing is in fact a dummy. the...

Okay, I have had another day of playing and this is what I found... I ended up taking the front cover off completley so I could strip it on the bench. To remove the cap in the end which has a Oring on it. I removed the oil filter and if you look up into the housing you can see the pressure...

Hi Rick, thanks for that.... I have removed the cir clip holding the relief valve in. but can not get the blanking plate out the end of the assemble. So have decided to take the front cover off completely, I think I will drop the shells off the crank at the same time just to check for any...

Hi, When the vehicle voltage gets really low. The Range will start to develop ghost faults which in tern become real faults. You say you have replaced the battery but is your alternator charging? I had a similar problem with mine not so long ago, so I changed the battery which cleared the...

Hi All, Well its been a while since I have posted a message on here. mainly because my range has been as good as gold..... until now :( 18 months ago I built a brand new engine for my Range. She is a 4.0 litre non gas.. Last night when I got home from a long run the oil light flickered a few...

hi, i had a intermittent abs fault. turned out to be a broken wire to the sensor. Abs fault can be lots of things, could even be the air gap is just to large. and reseating the sensor in the hub can clear the fault. when they plugged it in. what readings were they getting?. did they drive the...

Hi. my carbed v8 90 did the same. i striped the carbs and reset the timing. it was a little better. but the main cause was fuel evaporation. mainly due to the heat in the engine bay. Are you running a mechanical lift pump as fitted to early range rover v8's or a electric pump. i original...

Hi, welcome to the world of p38 ownership. If your running a 4.0 with out gas then to be honest £10 worth of fuel will not give you a grater range of 50 miles. depending on what your computed mpg is. and depending on just how low the tank was. The most common fault with cruise control is...

Hi, excuse my stupidity but what have you fitted to the engine? Bryan

Sounds like a lot of money for a early peggy. But you do get what you pay for. mine is a 1998 SE, 4.0 petrol auto. she stands me in 8k now and thats with a new engine and sorting out all the electrical faults which have shown up over the last year of ownership. best of luck with your purchase...
