Good evening all, I'm trying to find any information regarding the maximum towing weight for a fixed, swan neck GM 1874 towbar that the L322 Range Rover I have just bought is fitted with. I've been searching online and can't really find anything so if anyone could advise or point me in the right...

Well I am in Edinburgh at the moment so may have partaken in a few wee drams! Lol! I've messaged a couple of companies that specialise in classic car repair panels that also offer bespoke panels, normally for vintage vehicles where panels aren't available, to see what sort of cost having repair...

Cheers for the replies guys. It looks like a potentially lucrative gap in the market as this looks like a really common issue. I'll have to start cleaning it back and see just what I'm working with! However, if anyone has found anything available or that works to replace it then please let me know.

Good afternoon all, I've recently purchased an l322 having had two p38's, with the what now seems usual rear arch rust. I've not yet started to rub it down or anything but was wondering if anywhere or anyone has yet come out with repair panels in order to cut the old arch sections out and...

So, cleaned all the diesel away today and had it running for some time and no leaks! Happy as I can now put it in for it's overdue MOT. Thanks for all the help again guys! Cheers, Andy.

Okay, so, two and a half hours today in the rain, took the centre section off, made sure I had the peg in the collar. Rechecked my alignment marks and tried to start, it started but I had no throttle. So, slackened the bolts off and tapped the centre section back a fraction. Improved the idle...

I will check that again and find a starting point to go from. Cheers, Andy.

I did and thought I'd lined it up on reassembly. It was this mark that I got it to start with but it was doing that hunting and black smoking.

No, sorry mate, the spring pressure pushed it out as I backed the bolts out a bit at a time and once the o-ring was visible I stopped.

Okay, well that's encouraging then, I had it on cam and only took the pressure head out to the point that I could access the o'ring.. I'll have a good look next Saturday which is the first chance I'll get and start again with the quantity servo. Cheers again, Andy.

Well, I know I got the peg in the hole originally. I'll be giving it another go next weekend. My main question was will the car run at all if the shim drops out whilst I was doing the pressure head seal? Specifically with the way it was doing for me earlier? Cheers, Andy.

Yep because when it first started but was hunting and black smoking it would rev up, just too eagerly, if that makes sense. It was like the pump was too far advanced so I backed it off, then got nothing so brought it back the other way a bit and again, nothing.

Thats what makes me wonder if the shim has dropped out whilst doing the pressure head seal.

I currently have nothing, it won't start.

Well, new in tank pump done, fuel to the FIP, tried to start and it eventually fired. It was hunting like a bar steward and loads of black smoke so I thought I had put the top half of the pump back in the wrong position. Backed it off and the car refused to start. Moved it to be in between...

With me having drained the FIP in order to do the seals I have nothing to be able to crank with. I'll keep the thread updated when I get the replacement. Cheers, Andy.

Cheers for that Wammers. I tried the live to terminal 5 of relay 12 and nothing. So, I've just pulled the tank out, removed the in tank pump and put a live a neutral to the two pins on the pump itself (purple and brown wires) and.... nothing. So I'm going to order an in tank pump. It's just...

Morning Wammers, thanks for your reply and in answer, yes, I followed the procedure for doing the pressure head seal by putting the pump on full cam lift before loosening the bolts just enough to gain access to the o-ring. I have also replaced the centre section seal and the top cover seal in...

Morning all, Yesterday I replaced the pressure head seal, mid section seal and top cover seal on my wife's P38 diesel's FIP. Built it all back up and it refuses to start. So my first thought was that whilst I was doing the pressure head seal the shim has dropped so I need to remove the fip to...

HI Dopey, As previously said, the EDC seal is not included in the full kits available (I know, I have one) and having spoken to a bosch specialist, Bosch themselves do not offer this seal so I need to find something to replace it with from an alternative source. Cheers, Andy.
