Hi all at the P38 club! Is there anyone out there with a 4.236 lump in their wagon? After some advice about where to get an airbox from to fit or some inexpensive grafts. Is it just me or is the P38 a headache for most owners as there seems to be no shortage of posts about problems and few...

Hi All! Is anyone running a Range Rover with 4236 motor? I am in the process of rebuilding but minus an airbox. Does anyone know where I can get a suitable box or something from another vehicle which would fit? cheers, JimmyMacD:confused:

Hi all, looking for someone to give me some help with Perkins diesel 4.236 in Skeg/Spilsby/Lincs area. Bloody thing is being a pain to start, suspect air or water in line but I don't have enough knowledge of oilburners or a workshop manual and I can't afford a mechanic. I just need someone to...

Hi All, Just started restoration on a 1975 Rangey with a Perkins diesel conversion. New to oil burners and having difficulty getting the bloody thing to start, could be air or water in the fuel lines? Is there anyone in my area who could come and show me what to do. My budget is pennies and I...

Hi, does anyone have a manual for 4.236 engine or info on bleeding the fuel system? cheers, JimmyMacD

It sucks! Got the old brute started last night with a lot of effort. The pump sucks, so it may well be a straight fit to servo. Thanks Cavey 38 and kds. Pre-heat works OK though I almost started a fire! Bloody clutch seems to have lost pressure but there are no signs of a leak and it was bled a...

Thanks Big Dave and Cavey for your help, I will certainly look into alt/vac pump solution and a possible head coversion for turbo power at a later date. It's strange that there is so little secondhand stuff about for the 4.236 considering the length of production? Alt/vac seems a more sensible...

I have found a 110 amp battery which is a nice fit @60.00 + VAT from Lincs Auto Services in Spilsby, they seem to have good prices on most things, other suppliers started at 100+ for the same. I am still interested in anyone who can give me info on the Perkins motor re: Servo hook up etc.. I...

Thanks for the advice, I had a feeling that I was either looking at twin batteries or something agricultral. The last job is to plumb in the brake servo. The Perkins has a pump/compressor on lower left under the speed regulator/fuel filter. It had a piece of butchered vacum hose left on it, can...

Hi, I am starting the restoration of a 1970's two door which has had a Perkins 4.236 3.8ltr conversion. I have completed all the ancillary work left by previous owner and rigged a preheat system up. Has anyone got a "best buy" battery which would crank the ol' gal? What sort of amps do I need...

Hi Rewmer, problem is I don't have one! RR wouldn't start when I bought it so whinched on trailer and my tame mechanic (dumped it in his works yard) only realised half an hour into bleeding the brakes. I did get it very cheap and with a lot of work already done.. just no O/S/F caliper.. it's got...

Hi, thanks for the info. Thanks Beast for the pic... though I think you're getting more of the snow than me. Forgot to mention I am on a budget set by Wife... beg, borrow or steal and I can't touch the Kid's College fund, so thanks for the offer Beast but I can't run to that much plus cost of...

Hi peeps! Always had later classic but now taken the plung and started restoration on a 2 door. Can anyone help with information about interchangeable parts between 2 and early 4 door. I am after a O/S/F brake caliper and rear bumper. I've asked the experts and they just say...... "I'll get back...
