I've tested all the glow plugs this morning and they all working fine though they don't get red hot until about 4 to 5 seconds after the glow plug symbol goes off on the dash so I put everything back together and gave it about 10secs on heat, turned ignition, started first time, just like you...

Thanks Thor, I'll check those wires again tomorrow in daylight.

Thanks Brian, I'll check that fuse in the morning and power to the glow plugs, when I put the new one's in the other day I just assumed that would be it, problem sorted. Dark outside now I'll check them tomorrow, pub beckons now for early doors medication.

The old rangie has been running fine for quite a while now and I had started to like it again, It's a a 2000 DT BMW diesel, manual. About a week ago it started to be difficult to start first thing on a morning though once started it was ok and it ran no problem at all, it's only when the engine...

Thanks Druim, I took my rangie down to a local guy who specializes in LRs and he cleared the faults and reset the heights etc and only charged me a fiver so I'm well pleased with that so hopefully everything is sorted now (until the next problem comes along). I must thank all you guys who offer...

Thanks for the help Datatek, I've just fitted a kit I got off ebay that consists of 4 valves so that I can fill all the airbags from an air line and then I can drive down to a local guy with LR diagnostic stuff and he said he would clear the faults etc. He doesn't charge much but if I need to...

Thanks Datatek, I appreciate your kind offer, what does the software consist of for example, I am thinking of postage etc.

Driving home from Ripon last week in my P38 2.5 DT, car going well as it had been for quite a while now and thinking to myself what a great motor she is when all of a sudden I hear a 'pop' and the suspension goes down on to the bump stops the airbag fault and 35 mph message appears on the...

I reckon the manual is the better buy, my p38 2.5DT was an auto when I bought it but when towing a caravan it was only doing about 22 mpg and wouldn't change up into top gear until you got to 49 mph, no good when you're following traffic doing only 45mph . I had the rangie converted to a...

Hi enery8, sorry to hear about your mishap but the same thing happened to my P38 2.5 DT about two years ago, the pulley on the water pump sheared off and destroyed the viscous fan and the radiator. Got a new water pump and a fan and radiator from emmotts, been no trouble since apart from usual...

Thanks WatchcamP38, hope you can get fixed up nearer home, Cammo45.

High Breezer2003, welcome to the fold.

Thanks for that info wammers, that may explain why my cruise control hasn't been working for a while, another job to do when I get the time.

Hi tuftey, I have the same problem with my p38 2.5 DT manual but it only happens now and again, I have been told that there is a sensor on the accelerator and also on the clutch that could be the problem, it's another job to do when I get round to it.

Must be in good condition.
