Update. The new £38.60 relay arrived today. Fitted and working. For reference the part number is PRC9566. Just to recap on the fault. I think I actually had two faults. The first was a mechanical one with the ABS pump and Accumulator. The symptoms were an inability to build up pressure and...

"Happy" is probably overstating the case. Will try to copy the post over to another section. I know a lot of people are sick and tired of the Three Amigos.

Like I said. I was excluded from posting on the usual forums, presumably because I haven't visited for a while. I am guessing that I will get full privileges back the more I visit.

Hi Landyzoner. I have actually put 35 posts in a couple of years ago but nothing recently so I was excluded from posting in the tech tips section. Thanks for the welcome all the same. I don't usually put up a post for well known faults, but this was such an easy fix for a serious problem I...

2002 P38 4.6 V8 petrol/lpg 180000 miles. I have had the three amigos pop up every time I brake for about a year now. Brakes still worked so what the heck. Last week I was driving along and the message "ABS FAULT" flashed on the panel and the yellow light came on and stayed on. Brakes still...

Well the old girl's been running great for 5 months now. Until Sunday. Went to start it and no go. Engine spun over no problems but not a hint of starting. Bonnet up, fuses out, relays out, battery cables checked, HT leads checked, no smell of fuel, no smell of burning, everything looked in...

This one had me tearing my hair out. 2000 P38 4.6L V8 petrol/gas auto box. 160000 miles. The car seemed to be driving OK except for an annoying vibration in top gear which smothed out when the box kicked down. Acceleration was poor when it kicked down but the vibes smoothed out over 50mph. Took...

Two days later and the old girl is as sweet as anything. My mpg has improved drammatically from 11-12mpg to 14-15mpg at commuting speeds, which is crawling rather than sprinting! Also noticed that the idle has dropped to 600 rpm when warm compared to 900 rpm in the fault condition. This makes...

Well it's nearly winter again and we are getting some pretty frosty mornings and the poor old bus struggles to start from cold so I decided to have another go at this fault. Figured that a water temp sender is cheap and fairly straightforward to fit so ordered one from Island 4 X 4 in Kent. I...

So, I got the three combined MAF and IAT units off Mozz. To get the ball rolling I left my old unit installed, and plugged in my generic OBD tester. I will call my original IAT/MAF unit # zero. I noticed that there were fault codes for the IAT and MAF but the car seemed to start and run OK. I...

The test drive was done in light traffic so the motor would be pulling in warmer air than it does on the motorway. I did notice that as soon as the car started moving forwards the IAT temp came down. We are having a mild spell here. +15C was normal this week. I now have the MAFs from Mozz so I...

Hi Mozz. The MAFs arrived this morning thanks. Will have a session on Monday with the replacements. The car was working correctly on Thursday but it went back to playing silly buggers yesterday. This is good in a way as it proves that the ambient temp has no influence on the fault, i.e. the hard...

Well, that seemed OK. Did notice one tiny thing. I decided to start the car on petrol because it sometimes doesn't start cleanly on gas when the car isn't properly warm. There is a switch on the dash to turn the gas on or off so I turned it off. The car started cleanly on petrol but I noticed...

Well that's a funny thing. Left the Rangie in our workshop overnight and it started up a treat this morning! Admittedly it's a lot milder today and the workshop is warmer than outside (marginally) so that could make a difference. Did notice that this problem only started when the weather turned...

Thanks for the offer Mozz. I am going to meter the wires out this morning and see if I have a short or a break and will get back in touch. Ref disconnecting the MAF. If you do this with the motor running it will immediately cut out but will restart OK. I think the car is running in default mode...

After a couple of weeks trouble free on the new Turner motor the beast has started playing up. It's a complete bitch to start from cold. The only way it will fire up from cold is if I floor the pedal until it struggles into life and then just tease the throttle for a few seconds. It then runs...

Can't remember where I got that specific piece of info. I looked at a lot of posts and youtube videos. Not RR specific but ZF transmission related. I am going to do one final level check this week and I will do it COLD. The box is currently working very well, smoother than it has ever been.

Best of luck with that Mozz. Auto box seems fine now. Had to put nearly two litres in yesterday. I think the box should be viewed as a Sponge rather than a vessel. I am going to go through the process again next week and see if I can squeeze a few more drops into it. Strange thing was that I...

I did consider that the gas might be getting into the coolant somehow so I disabled it (disconnected the solenoid) early on in the process. I think the pink sludge was intermittently blocking the coolant flow as the feed pipes were hot and then cold and the gas was on and then off. Cleaning out...

Well, I couldn't get hold of a Rebuild kit for the Reducer/Vaporiser so we just made a new gasket (old one had extra holes stabbed into it), out of a motorcycle inner tube. Cleaned everything up and put it back together. The system took about an hour to bleed but eventually the LPG switched over...
