Thanks, calm mode enabled again.

Diesel HP22. So if the engine is started and gear selector is left in P. Then the A clutch has not been engaged at all? And therefore my air purging procedure is totally fine?

Is it the same in P? Whenever I have drained some coolant and afterwards when bleeding the system I let the engine idle until it is as hot as possible and then to pressurize the system and let the water pump flow more I tighten the lid and then high idle for a little while. 2500RPM at most and...

If you absolutely want to pre fill a new filter plug the center hole with a clean nitrile gloved fingertip and slowly fill the filter from the outer ring of holes. That way the fuel will be filtered and no debris can end up in the system. Not as important with these older low pressure systems...

My P38 will soon pass 400.000km. (250.000miles). Unsure if chains have been replaced. The FIP was replaced at 350.000km by me due to leaks. Later on the replacement pump needed new seals anyway.

Oh sorry. I complete forgot I replied tor hos thread. The nut on the transparent feed hose has a 17mm width. The screw fitting it attaches to feels and looks like a hydraulic type called GE or XGE. On such metric fitting the hose side thread is always bigger than the thread that is screwed into...

My guess is M12x1.5. Ask me how I guesstimate this.

Oh there is a calibration to be done on that switch. Didn’t realize it. Well on my drive home I tested the cruise control and lo and behold, it works. It hasn’t worked for months and now it does.

Forgot to mention I tested it. While increasing speed with SET I touched the brake pedal and it shut down the speed increase as normal.

Yes it works from about 60km/h maybe? Then how is it a bad idea to have the car standing still in the air with wheels running to simulate the car running on the road? Simple electrical troubleshooting? What do you think I’m doing? This is the only way to troubleshoot in my opinion. But do...

Well I did mention lifting both axles right? Been testing a bit now. If I apply ground to pin no 5 on the inverter module which means the SET button, sure enough the speed starts to increase. But as soon as I remove ground it drops down to idle almost instantly. If I try to RES the earlier...

P38 2.5DSE Is this a bad idea due to the viscous coupling or does it merely lock and run them both with no problem at all? I want to lift both axles and run the vehicle in the shop to fault find the cruise control. I have measured the set and reset button in the steering wheel. Measuring to...

Ok it’s the connector that’s different. Mine is white so I’ll just buy that one. £170 for a new one.

Hello. Yesterday I concluded that my fuel injection pump was leaking from the top cover. Have had problems with air entering the system making starting when cold hard without running the lift pump first manually or by cycling the ignition three times. Today I removed the pump and changed every...

There are plenty of norwegian Land Rover owners. I found this thread on the Norwegian forum which has a small international section in English with a recommendation for a workshop near Oslo. http://www.lrforum.com/forum/index.php?/topic/89831-defender-servicing-in-oslo/

Why not? Are you referring to a standard engine or tuned?

There you go. It's a diesel. It's supposed to knock otherwise the timing is too retarded.

Sounds like you have the exakt symptoms that my car developed during my vacation. Excessive cranking like the in tank pump isn't running. As soon as I put a jumper wire instead of relay 12 between 30 and 87 it starts almost immediately while cranking. The relay clicks and all. Tried two other...

I'm not James and it hasn't been ten years quite yet. So how is your gearbox doing? I'm quite interested in this gearbox swap especially now that Ashcroft has a conversion kit to fit the petrol converter housing to M51 and M57 diesel engines. I realize the OP hasn't done any posts since 2013...

It does feel better today. It tended to lose a little speed up the hill this morning. But it’s hard to say if it was really better pre leak fix. I do know it’s not a super sports car. Or a 6th generation jet fighter. Or a space rocket. Etc. Now I’m determined to fix what I can. I suspect the...
