Well that is the odd thing.. Measuring from a fixed point on the slave cylinder to the clutch lever cup, at rest, after being bled we measured 180mm On the first depression of the clutch peddle and holding it down, the distance increased to 190mm So the usual clutch fork travel seems to be 10mm...

Complete clutch kit with cover, plate and release bearing was installed along with a new dual mass flywheel and rear main seal all from Island4x4 and all seemed to fit perfectly. It also had new roll pins for the clutch fork, and new bushes for the clutch fork shaft. To be sure, I have just had...

We have a Hawkeye with the P38 enabled, which was the best I could find without spending a fortune about 6 years ago when I first bought the old girl.. No faults logged in the Engine management system.. Occasionally I get a fault from the BECM which I can not remember what the code is, usually...

That's reassuring, having looked up @Rick-the-Pick his signature mentions CallRover and I think this is who dealt with it, but it was quite some time ago, but good to know he would not have done anything in the process of sorting out the immobiliser that would have caused issues with the general...

I am open to any other ideas though, I even had a slight panic attack a little while ago as I thought that perhaps the clutch friction plate was in back to front (although they are usually pretty obvious and have flywheel stamped or printed on one side), allowing the entire geometry of the...

After reading your post we did try that.. Still ratcheting out, but I think that is the clutch flexi maybe.. But this time rather than the piston almost exiting, cocking, jamming the clutch in the depressed position and leaking all the fluid out, the outer piston almost exited, the piston cocked...

It is good to hear that some others have seen something like this before, that is what I was hoping for... Although I was not hoping to hear someone say that shortly afterwards something nasty happened! What do you think the root cause was in that example? Was the area where it broke fatigued...

This is beginning to sound like there might have been an evolution or two slave cylinders fitted at the factory with different push rods, or the factory had a bit of a parts bin mentality, such as "we have run out of P38 slaves, lets use the XYZ ones from that line instead, we just need to use...

The annoying thing for me was that before the car became immobilised I used to get a regular 25mpg (Manual 2.5 Turbo Diesel P38) even with driving it hardish, and it was relatively quick'ish.. I often thought about chipping it, as a friend had one done by DMS and it ended up being very rapid and...

Fergie, that is truly weird.. But to be honest, what I have currently going on with this range rover is equally odd and similar in some ways... Thinking about it logically, your problem could also be the clutch slave when bled for some reason not being able to return fluid back to the master...

Last night I decided I wanted to have some hard information for diagnosis. * How far the slave moves in relation to the clutch peddle being pushed from top to bottom. * If the clutch slave was returning to the same position each time, if not how far was it ratcheting each time the peddle was...

Holy cow.. I have just been searching online for a clutch flexi for this beast.. between £55 and £75 plus VAT from many of the online places.. but BritishCarParts seem to have one listed at £6.17.. On the one hand, thats much cheaper, but on the other, am I missing something about why that one...

I will check in the morning, is that something that can cause this kind of problem and can it be ditched/bypassed?

A had a problem a few years ago where my P38 had completely immobilised itself.. Somewhere on the internet I read that if the eeprom on the board is erased then the Diesel ecu will not lock out and it will run... I have eeprom and eprom gear for my business so was tempted, but just sent it to a...

Oops - I just tried to edit the title, I should have added it is a 2.5 DSE... Sorry chaps

Been a little while since I have been on here, last time was a year ago and I was trying to find out if the front swivels should be set by eye or with the special tool... Still not got around to that.. Anyway.. It's been off the road for a year, so about a month ago I decided to bring it into...

That's fair enough.. If you could post the dimensions when you can, that will be a massive help

Do you want to rent your one out? Don't mind paying a rental and a sizable deposit

Ooo-er missus! A woman has never commented on my tools, not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing really!

Well done Marty! That is exactly what I mean by reverse engineering! I have spent the last year doing the same to Porsche alarm control units in current model Porsche cars. It is a bit of a pointless and thankless task in some ways.. I already have the Porsche kit to reprogram them, so it has...
