I was at the receiving end of someone doing that to a 4.0SE I bought at auction (serves me right I know!) a few years back. Car was fine for the first few months I had it, then suddenly lost all its coolant on the top of a hill with the usual. My mechanic mate ripped it apart afterwards and...

Feck me that new engine for 720 weren't a bad deal!

me timing chain is so loose is almost falling off! :eek: not all gunged up though

240ft/lb makita got the bastard off... just!!! If it was a milli-torque extra it wouldn't I reckon cheers people

Cheers, just one more thought... if I was to just hire the biggest baddest impact wrench ever seen in Barnet in the world ever... ? Good news is I have a lot of space with the rad etc out the way cheers again

Cheers mines got the notch so I'll give it a try... if I can't wedge it enough I'll be tempted to just weld the pulley to the chassis with a bar- that'll get the fecker off. Then just chop it off when the bolts out

Hi, I did try! Read theres a (stupidly priced) tool for the tdi & P38 engines, all the others I read were for manuals... will 'av another look cheers

Comes in handy when parking, not sure how useful it is for stopping a crankshaft pulley rotating though! Will try a strap wrench & a big hammer! cheers

Hi, any of yous got any tips for removing it? My book of lies says to stick the car in first/low gear, but its an auto cheers

Errr..... in your (totally wrong) opinion mate! :mad: ;) Omegas are properly good cars though, I'm borrowing my dads V6 while I'm doing up me rangie I've had 2 P38's, 2 classics and a 3dr D1... the disco was the best all round car- a few less hassles than the classics (tailgates) & none of...

made a dozy mistake, delete please sorry!

Hiya, my 3.5 rangie auto is revving up to 1500 in P & N but is fine in all other gears. plugs/leads/air filter & hoses new. It was sitting a long while before I got it Any ideas? Cheers (I did a search by the way!!!)

Hi... what tyres have you got on your rangie goonarmy? my new rangies in pieces (1/2 way through cam change) at the moment so no chance of the 7th thing :(

Should be able to get top hats fitted for 800 (think thats what v8 developments charge), think it was wildcat (sp) who do them for 600 but have a long waiting list. thats assuming you can remove/strip/refit yourself though... Good luck with the rad

Can you not get repair sections? They look like they've been changed on my rangie

Others will disagree but I would only use that sealant **** as an absolute last resort (even then its only delaying the inevitable if its a cracked block), I've seen it gunge up everything

Even if water was to reach the liner like RPI say, surely it would would just work like a wet-linered engine? The bottom of the top-hat liner is sealed

Just upgraded mine... beautiful innit!

The P38 is a great high speed cruiser because... EAS! ;) Mind you, slip-streaming lorries was the name of the game with my 4.6, I might have been paranoid but I swear I could see the fuel guage going down when I ventured over 60! :D http://www.rover-renovations.com/

fair point but if you don't like electro****ery then a P38 ain't the best choice of motor is it! Get a classic ffs! :D
