Sorry if this is a dumb/daft question but what are the lambda sensors on the P38? Are they Bosch LSU 4.9's or something else? The part number AMR6244 is the dealer code for them I think. Just wondering as I have 2 spare ones that I might be able to use elsewhere. TIA

We were talking about this on one of the forums the other day. Helpfully, youtube just served this up to me. It is on thaor engined Disco, but the P38 is essentially the same I think. Somewhere in the comments a chap with a P38 has made the following helpful observation..... "99 P38 4.6 COIL...

Putting this here because I need help and it is not fair to pollute the "I would just like to say" thread with my problems. This is "GWEN" I won her with a single £12.95 ticket in a raffle run by UK-Minis (no affiliation). She is a 1975 Morris mini with a 1275 A+ engine. Tax-Exempt, MOT-Exempt...

I have just received a replacement glass for the driver's side, and although the Advert said "heated" there's no wires, just a plain glass. Is the "heater" for the mirror glass, part of the carrier frame or have I been had?

Just had my usual (very good) garage on the blower about the works proposed for the car next week. >£1,000 :( Apparently it needs new upper & lower ball-joints and track rod. Apparently the parts are non-returnable and special order because of the age of the car and its 6-hours of labour to...

I am still having issues when refuelling. The tank can only be filled up at the slowest flow-rate or the petrol pump just shuts off. All the evap system lines have been checked for kinks and have been blown through. There is no "misfuelling" flap on a P38 (too old), but there is an anti-syphon...

Whenever I want to try and look at live data or changing conditions on things like cruise-control etc. the awful and overly heavy ODB socket to Nanocom cables drag the nanocom out of the delicate little phone-holder and onto the floor so I cannot achieve what I am seeking to do. I can understand...

Hi folks, I have been bought a 'spensive dashcam with front & rear cameras for Xmas/Birthday. Anyone know how easy/hard it is to get a cable routed through the headlining space from front to rear or vice-versa? I am sure I can get a live-wire through the bulkhead OK and up the A-Pillar for power...

Naughty Naughty.

My 4.6L Thor Rangie cannot be filled up with petrol at anything other than a slow trickle or the petrol-pump shuts off at the filling station. Does the vehicle have an anti "topping off" flap like some other "more modern" vehicles? If so, can it be reset, and how? Currently it takes me 20...

I have just had my Rangie's headlining replaced with a refurbed one by a chap called Jason at "Blackbrook Auto-Trim" (07779 303 858). He's a really smashing bloke, he couldn't have been more helpful. My old saggy one out and a re-trimmed replacement in while the wife & I wandered round the...

I just watched this and it talks about both the N57 and M57 BMW engines and them catching fire in police cars all too frequently.

For some reason I cannot fathom my dashboard clock (smiths industries finest?) just does not work. If I press the time correcting button it will advance (slow, then faster, then megaspeed) but after you set it you can return to the car to find it has not advanced from the set time. The clock...

Those Microsoft a-holes have done it again. Rave that ran under Win 10, will no longer work under Win 11. :( Tried all the same fixes as before (Compatibility mode) but no dice. Has anyone managed to get it working, if so how? TIA. Dan.

MY2000 4.6 Thor powered Rangie. Hello folks, I am hoping to get some useful suggestions on "next steps" to diagnose/fix/improve my Cruise control. What's wrong with it? - It only "Sort-of" works. What do you mean "Sort-of works"? - Pootling along at 50-55 I can get it to engage and hold that...

It never rains but it pours as they say. I fixed the speaker cones on the Woofer unit earlier this year and to do this I had the whole lot out of the PS cubby hole, broke the woofer & Amp unit apart and fixed the speaker cone rings and then put it all back. It has been working fine until the...

Hi all, Sorry to ask but I cannot find a definitive answer in RAVE or my workshop manual in searches here or on the interweb. Since the fuel hose between the filler-neck and the tank was replaced some little while ago I have had difficulty in passing water fuel into the tank on fill-ups. The...

The P38 has done 18K miles total and does about 800-900 miles a year. The local Indie talks about keeping the service schedule etc. etc. With so few miles going on the old gal is it worth the servicing costs or should I just stick some additives in the fuel and oils and sorry to ask it but is...

Took herself out for some shopping to a nearby town some 4 miles away. The road between the 2 towns is 3 and 4-lane with some unrestricted bits, but most of it is 50. On the way home I noticed a rhythmic beat like a thrumming within the drive train. All new (<3k miles tyres) and all seem ok...

These cars just love to kick us in the nuts don't they? I drove across town to a parcel drop-off shop. Got out, locked the car (on the fob) delivered the parcel and came out and the car would not respond to the fob. Opened the door with the key and got a double chirp on the BBUS and "Engine...
