This is history of my similar problem; april 2011; i have new 105amp battery in a 2.5dt and get 12.5 overnight with 13.75 max when running. I do a lot of short journeys and regularly have a flatish battery (just about starts), I was advised that eventhough it reads near to 14v it may not be...

yes, that's the problem, the diode 's purpose is to allow current flow in on direction, when it fails it allows it to go to earth and drain the battery

I mean the wire on the ALTERNATOR, if the diodes are faulty as mentioned earlier then they allow leakage, however when you disconnect the wires, if the battery stays up then it confirms that the diodes are shot. If you still get drain then it is not an alternator fauklt. It is not related to the...

If you disconnect the heavy wire from the back of the alternator & leave overnite it will eliminate it or not

Hi, this is a summary of a post I did 23rd june 11 I have airbag fault message on my 95 p38. I used faultmate to clear it but it only did briefly. It diagnosed THE AIRBAG FIRING CIRCUIT IS MEASURING SHORT TO GROUND. On another forum it recommended changing the rotary coupler which I now have...

I put the fix on from tigapiglets thread. It did the job but idles higher and is smoky. So I read tigapiglets thread again and came to a new fix based on mention of possible temp sensor failure. This involves eliminating the solenoid and diode from the above fix, by connecting wires to the...

I had a problem getting mine to open, had to push button many times. In desperation I holesawed 50mm hole opposite solenoid in the door card so I could see it in action. This cured the problem as it relieved pressure the door card was putting on it. I then got a plastic plug & modified it to...

I have now found it listed as ANR3344, would this be the one, anyone for definite?

I have the same engine and am running without the viscous fan( in pursuit of max efficiency). There isn't any aircon so I rigged up a aircon single fan from a disco. I fitted a fan/temp switch i think 88deg, it only comes on with needle past second white strip. I am usually then pulling 3.5t...

Hi, can anyone advise of the part no. of the clutch hose of a 95dt? It is located on the bulkhead on the near side engine bay. Mine has badly corroded ends, so I am afraid to dismantle to seek replacement as the ends may fracture on removal. It is about 10 or 12" long, rubber with crimped ends...

note re ovalandrover's procedure above applies to 96 or later, for the 95my you don't do the 4turns left, you go straight to the eka sequence

THanks lads, I agree as after awhile running as above while i didnt get sloshing i found one corner may be low. So i now have fitted a tee on each line permanently. My comp is back working but the connections are there for again. Incidentally while I got the first valves from old bike tubes I...

fitted the one way valve but no good. next I will run intank pump seperate to glow plugs. if it works then I will try valve beside intank pump. when i cut pipe near filter there was not much diesel in it

For the hot start problem, I am awaiting delivery of an 8mm one way valve from fleabay to fit between the filter and FIP. Theory being that it looses priming, when heater plugs come on the intank pump also runs to prime it. I saw this solution in a thread dealing with glow plug replacement. I...

If your still not sorted you can get on the road as per this post. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/p38-compressor-prepare-failure-159044.html I am still depending on it as after replacing comp seal it seems the diaphragm in the block is also worn.

I have recently suffered with the seal failure. I got one from fleabay and all is well again. However while waiting for the seal I needed to be mobile. While many solutions are available to manually pump up, again I could not wait for delivery so I sourced parts locally as follows: 2no 6mm...

Hi, I had similar problem and sorted as per this thread- http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/p38-broken-keyfob-required-153443.html maybe of help

I have airbag fault message on my 95 p38. I used faultmate to clear it but it only did briefly. It diagnosed THE AIRBAG FIRING CIRCUIT IS MEASURING SHORT TO GROUND. On another forum it recommended changing the rotary coupler which I did. However I am still left with the fault. I then suspected...
