2001 4.0L. Has had a very occasional hard brake pedal. I initially replaced the accumulator, then tried a used abs pump but the problem would still reappear. Took it off the road this spring to get a long list of small jobs done. Rear brake lines had been replaced at some point, but as they...

Any recommendations for abs sensors ( front and rear ), prices seem to range from £30 to £400? Have just replaced rear brake lines and after a test drive now have traction failure and abs lights on. Nanocom says rear sensor electrical failure rear right and sensor voltage page says no voltage...

2001 4.0L . Occasionally the brake pedal goes hard when needed. The brakes will stop the vehicle after a good hard push. When the system is de-pressurised it takes 30 seconds for the pump to get to pressure and turn off. It then takes two presses of the brake pedal for the pump to cut in again...

Just getting around to putting a reconditioned engine on my 2001 4.0L p38. Just got the engine bolted to the transmission tunnel and can’t remember if anything should be attached to the metal bracket (pictured) that bolts to the transmission tunnel. Should have taken more photos when removing...

Hello. Hope someone can advise? Just about to put in a reconditioned engine into my 2001 4.0L p38. I was cleaning off the timing chain cover last night and noticed what looked like a slightly eroded hole in the oil filter housing. It looks as though the hole is designed to be there, but the...

Hello all. I have just changed the Valley gasket on my 2001 4.0L p38. It is now very difficult to get started ( you have to have your foot hard down on the accelerator), runs very roughly, and stalls if you take your foot off the accelerator? Not had much chance to investigate but I assume it’s...

After changing jobs and now not having access to vehicle lifts, pits etc. I have been doing all my maintenance on a pea shingle drive, supporting axle stands, and jacks on 10mm steel plate. We are having some work done on the house and. It seems the perfect time to splash out on a concrete pad...

Hello all. Some advice needed please. My 2001 4.0L Thor failed its mot this week “Exhaust lambda reading on 2nd fast idle outside specified limits” . The vehicle hadn’t been used for a while and maybe the drive to the testing station was too short to get the engine warmed up correctly? I was...

Hello all. Just took my recently my bought donor car along for an mot - just to see if I could use it for the summer, before putting the interior in my 96 4.0L . Only thing it failed on was emissions, high hc's and co. Today I changed the spark plugs, ( all the old ones looked ok),changed the...

1996 4.0L gems. Thinking about buying a Hawkeye total diagnostic tool. Looking at the data sheet I can't see that it will diagnose and re-set airbag faults on a 96 . Is that correct or am I mis-reading the data sheet.
