    Freelander 1.8 petrol cam sensor fault

    Thanks a lot. Ironically, the MIL doesn't illuminate (except with the ignition). Have tried 3 different sensors. Could they all be faulty!?

    Range Rover P38 diesel injector pump problem

    ...by the way, since tightening the FIP mounting bolts, the 'MIL flashing momentarily when you take foot of the accelerator' thing has stopped too!

    ...I thought I'd take it at an angle like one off those old Batman action shots!

    Range Rover P38 diesel injector pump problem

    Oh dear. I'm sure you're all horrified to hear that all I did was tighten the 2 nuts. Seems to run fine! Not good?

    Thanks so much for the offer - welcome to drop by anyway, but. ... Guess what..? Range rover hunting/idle problem cured: both injector pump mounting bolts were loose!!! Yippee :D

    Range Rover P38 diesel injector pump problem

    Range Rover P38 diesel injector pump problem

    Air con belt has already been removed. As for the mil flashing when coming off the accelerator - same. No sign of stalling though...

    Range Rover P38 diesel injector pump problem

    Fantastic guys. Stop solenoid's loose wire repaired! Started straight away!!! However, still doing the uneven idle thing. Slightest depression of the throttle and it vanishes. Obviously the vibration shook the stop solenoid wrote loose. Why the uneven idle? ??

    Range Rover P38 diesel injector pump problem

    Yay! Thanks guys. ... it was a break in the stop solenoid! However, the reason for the break is because the injector pump has been vibrating so much when the tickover runs unevenly. So why is that? ???? (No other effect on the performance - runs and accelerates fine! )

    Range Rover P38 diesel injector pump problem

    Thanks for the advice. Will check the diagnostics, sure it's a Britax one. There was one other symptom I'd forgotten to mention... it had just recently developed a tickover problem too. Was hunting at idle ( injector pump would shake quite violently). However, slightest depression of the...

    Range Rover P38 diesel injector pump problem

    Hi folks, Have read a lot about this type of problem - just not sure if it quite matches my symptoms: Had to be rescued yesterday as my 1995 P38 2.5DT wouldn't start. Started her up yesterday, fine. Coughed and spluttered a couple of times (for the first time). Ran fine/accelerated smoothly...
