That's good news!! I'm sure I will be following the path of budget rebuild soon, I've not had chance to do any more investigating, I want to check/change both the water pump and radiator, if they don't cure the pressurizing then heads off to do final inspection before going the whole hog and...

I've just been sad enough to check their ebay feedback to see what all the fuss is about, they have over 8,300 left for them, 2494 in the last 12months and only 1 neg from some Turk, who again I was sad enough to check out his f/b trail and he leaves lots on negs for people so obviously a sado...

Sounds like the same symptoms as mine, I disconnected the MAF and what a difference! Gave it a good cleaning with electrical cleaner solvent, seemed to help a bit but not sorted it so have added a new MAF to the list of jobs to do to it!! Don't really want to go secondhand and def not going...

Lots of useful info here from these guys www.v8forum.co.uk :: Index

The blocks are the same for the gems or the thor, although the have different crank sensors I think, but basically the blocks are the same, they both have coil packs but are a different configuration, I'm pretty sure that the coils on the gems are in a straight line 8 side by side, the thor are...

I tried getting a quote for having 3 phase installed, I have a 2 post lift and a workshop full of 3 phase wood work machinery, it ended up cheaper to just buy a silent 3phase genny and run it on red diesel, 1st one I bought cheap on ebay just to see how I got on with the idea, it was 75kva so...

Have a look on rave in the cooling section, page 7 section 26, it shows exactly where it all goes and which direction, if you don't have rave just do a search or look in the sticky section at the top of the forum index and you can get a link to download it. HTH Steve

As Datatek said and others are basically saying, fix it, go either the recon route or a warranted good secondhand unit, I'm guessing from advice 'J the Range' has given you and the fact he says he has pm'd you, he has put you onto a 'know reputable used parts seller' he gave me a couple of weeks...

Wow stufer, I've seen and read lots of advice/guides on this job and with just the pics that you posted in that link it all becomes clear....... like the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words, and those must be the clearest words ever posted on the subject!!! I don't have the problem...

Nice one!!! keep us informed how it goes over the next couple of weeks.

Looking good, 2 door Rangies are cool! What are you intending to do with it? keep it like it is and just the maintenance or more? any pics of the interior? Steve

nationwidetrim.com do one for RR Classic, they don't show one for the p38 but they might be worth a try, maybe if only for them to point you to someone that does, one for the Classic is about £225 I think. Hope that helps. Steve

Thanks javars, out of interest is there any special reason you have chosen that company for the block? I've not come across them before and they could be quite handy for me as I have a mate up that way and often pass there to visit family in Manchester, only thing is though that they only give...

yes thats the one :)

That seems like a good price for all those parts, I'm thinking I may be going down the same road as you before long with mine :( would you mind telling where you have sourced the parts for those prices? Also is that with you sending your existing block to be relinered or exchange or just...

Well sadly I did the simple 1st ......... now I must do the panic :(:(:( Today after I guess 100 miles since fitting the thermostat and thinking that maybe all was well and feeling confidant with it........ on just a 2 mile drive looked down at the gauge to see it rammed hard up to the max...

Ha! good posting Rewmer :D:D:D I think with the reputation these engines have it's hard not to assume the worst!! Thanks again for your words of encouragement!!

Well thanks to all the encouragement and suggestions from everyone on here that it may not be the dreaded cracked block problem, I think I may have cracked it tonight!! Hoping I've had some good luck, tonight I managed to find time to drain and flush the system, all the water looked very...
