Hi All, Right done some more investigation work over the last week, and this is my findings. Rangie starts first time with no problems from cold or hot, took her for a run today and its great, pulls right the way through to 5 - 5.5k revs no problems. If I kick the auto box down again no...

Hi, My 4.0 litre had a liner shift. but it is very uncommon, its mainly the 4.6 which suffer from liners moving as the liners are very thin. I would personally stay well clear of DSE models. unless they have had a power chip upgrade, I have driven my brothers and they are really bad. i wanted to...

Hi Rick, Im going to do mine this weekend. from the chaps in the workshop it appears its a sod of a job, To get the old ones out you have got to cut both sides of the bolt with a hacksaw, then you have to dismantle 90% of the stearing links to get the hockey sticks out. Then its a mater of...

The thought has crossed my mind and being that i have been through every system on her putting things right. but with a company car on the horizon. The thought of parking her up in my workshop with a sheet over her seams criminal. I new at the point of putting a engine together. I had passed...

Hi All, I think the time may have come for me to part with my P38, After a year of ownership and the worlds supply of parts, time and money. I looking to change to something different. Was after some input into what its realistically worth..... Basically its a 4.0 SE, 1997 on a P' in blue...

Hi Nick, I had the same problem with mine, Turned out to be front hockey stick bushes. Problem solved. Bryan

Hi all. Not sure if anyone can shed some light on this one as it has me stumped. Just over a year a go I built a new 4.0 V8 to go in my Peggy. Think there is still a posting on her regarding all the fun i had, But it recently started to get a taping noise on startup but this did clear after a...

Hi all, Just a quick one. my brother has just purchased a 2.5dse range rover on a W' plate. I was lucky enough to drive it for a bit today. and I must say what a slug. I mean to get anything out of it you have to drive it hard. if I drive it like my 4.0 V8. it is so lethargic, slow. seams to...

if your engine was a genuine land rover replacement engine then it wont have top hat liners fitted. as land rover deny there is a problem with the design. As for fitting a 4.6 engine in were a 4.0 was. the auto box is different. I dont know in what way but they are different. plus you need to...

The value changes from every time it has not been the same number yet. its not the same common figger. I think he is only resetting the throttle position value. We thought it was getting a mixed signal from the throttle potentiometer and it gets confussed on were its closed throttle postion...

when my engine, was re machined with new top hat liners the engine number and compression ration was machined off. there for thay needed to be re stamped. nothing dodgy. just one of those things. I wouldnt worry about it. may be yours has had major engine work. then thats a bonus. Bryan

Hi , My father has the same problem with his 4.0. But it is not running on gas. The adaptive values for the closed throttle position keep getting over written, We keep reseting the values with autologic. and maybe it will last a few days. but sometimes it will only behave for a few hours. We...

Hi all, Just had the same problem on my P38, ended up spending a day with Autologic / Rave wire diagrams. Checked out all the wiring harness and connectors right back to the BECM, turned out that one of the switches on the drivers door lock would not switch and give 8 volts to the drivers door...

Hi, Just a thought, are you sure its coolant and not condensation from the AC Drain. Just before you go stripping out your heater to change the O'rings might be worth un-blocking the AC Drain tubes, these always get blocked and can cause water in the footwells.

sounds like a bit of a cover up, adding mirical additives in a engine. its the easy option out I know, But it doesn't fix the problem just masks it. to be honest all it has done is proved it is a liner issue. You say your rangie has had a replacement engine in its life. being a Land Rover...

Hi All Does anyone know if there are any trim people out there like exmoor trim. Who could supply me with a new seat base cover in cream leather for my drivers side seat base. I could also do with the vertical pieces which run up the sides of the windscreen / door posts. Thanks Bryan

Hi all, I am nearly at the end of transplanting a V8 into my 90. the only snag i have at present is in order to retain the V8 power steering box I had to keep with the Range Rover steering bottle and hoses. The problem is the pipe from the pump to the steering box has the wrong size threaded...

hi, if your willing to travel south then you could try Bush Motor Engineering Ltd. they are on the web Bush Motor Engineering Ltd. and have been nothing but helpful, in sorting out my rangie.

hi, I purchased a new one from LR and the clips as these are a separate item. and when I fitted it i but a bead of dum dum along the bottom edge. B.

Hi I had the same problem. I terned out to be the finisher along the bottom of the windscreen. It is only held in place with 12 little plastic clips and if it doesn't sit flush the air can get under it. B.
