    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    Update: Turned out that the lower timing chain had in fact jumped a cog, thankfully causing no damage to the valves. Myself and my mate fitted in a new lower timing chain and tensioner rail. We set up and double checked the camshaft and crankshaft timing, turning the engine by hand checking...

    Anyone breaking a P38 diesel

    I've thought about breaking my P38a. Depends how much it's going to cost to replace timing chain and other bits n bobs

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Going to inspect the timing chain on my 1998 P38a 2.5 diesel sometime over the weekend.

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    Sorry guy's thought I mentioned the rpm sensor on this thread. I did mention it on my power steering thread. Senior moment. However thanks for your input and will check out the timing chains soon.

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    Had a look on YouTube re timing chain. Could It knock the fip out of time. The rpm at idle is 1000 and wont rev past 2200. I'm wondering why the valves didn't collide with the pistons..

    The only fault recorded was 'Rpm sensor comparison not ok'

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    I've fitted many a timing belt and chains on ohv engines. The range rover looks involved lol.

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    No hot start or powerbox fitted. 145k miles. Probably due new timing chains

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    The AA guy thought that the timing chain might have stretched and slipped a cog. Hope he is wrong. Would this show up on diagnostics. If so I'll get it booked in, but don't have time or money to fix this at the moment.

    Need advice on buying first Range Rover

    I got my P38a 6 years ago from a bloke who was quoted funny money to get 2 rear air suspension bags fitted. I replaced all 4 for not a lot. I enjoy tinkering with the rangie, though sometimes I am pulling my hair out or scratching my head because I can't get to the bottom of a fault. That's...

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    Around 2 weeks ago the MIL lamp came on after I heard a metallic clatter under the car. The revs shot up ticking over at 1200 revs. I removed the inlet manifold to replace the glow plugs. It did take at least 3 cycles to start. I put this down to cold weather and Britpart plugs. Having said...

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    Thanks Wammers, that kind of makes sense. Yes same symptoms as old sensor and new sensor exactly the same dimensions. If I unplug no 4 sensor, do I start the engine and will it damage the BECM? Anyway, thanks for the input so far, much appreciated. Talk about learning curves...thankfully this...

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    Please bear with me as sensor's are not my strong point. The injector light on the dash is still on. I've checked the resistance on both sensor's giving a reading of 1.247 ohms. Also waved a penknife at the base of sensor registering 0.5 volts. It seems to me (correct me if i am wrong) that the...

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    Thanks. The bracket has not moved. The AA report was Rpm sensor comparison not ok. Going to double check the wiring loom under the inlet manifold and no 4 injector incase a wire has been damaged after I replaced the glow plugs.

    P38A New crank sensor not working?

    HI I have fitted a new crank sensor to my 1998 P38a diesel autobox as per Wammers's instructions. Still no joy. Engine starts but idles very fast and the engine management light remains on. Dodgy sensor?

    L322 Brake Flexi Pipe Replacement

    Quite a straightforward job. You can get 3/16 brake pipe and fittings from halfords. If you have not got a pipe fairing tool, I can recommend the Sykes Pickavant hand held flairing tool. It can do din and sae. I would go for braided hoses if you do a lot of hard braking.

    P38A 2.5 diesel crank sensor.

    Well noted Wammers it made sense to me after I had a look. Thanks.. I'll need try and remove the sensor underneath. Difficult to assess lol.

    P38A 2.5 diesel power steering unit.

    After fitting a second hand power steering pump, I noticed a small leek coming from the banjo. Could I replave with an O ring,, or use crush / copper washers as used on on brake callipers. Thanks. Billy
