Got a V8 Thor running a Prins lpg system. Has worked fine for the last 6 years. Car recently over heated. Crapped my pants as I not long put new cylinder heads on. Messing around with it today and it only seems to throw air into the coolent when I switch it to lpg, and then there's a strong...

Looking for a top hat liner block for a Thor 4.6 V8. Or possibly a short engine. Any help would be appreciated.

I am quite sure the block has gone. So I'm gearing myself up to remove the engine. Is there any tips out there? Can the engine be removed with the exhaust manifolds still attached? Because that right hand side one is a right pain to remove! What else needs to be removed?

Well it seems I may have a cracked block! Just need to complete a couple more tests to confirm this. I replaced the cylinder heads about 3000 miles ago with brand new ones. Everything has been great, 500 mile round trip to Somerset no problem. At the weekend went out, after about 15 min...

Hello again. Been talking to V8 Tuner today about my odd cylinder heads. Which ever way I go I'm going to end up with some ported modified heads. The position I'm in now is modified heads will only work well with an uprated camshaft. How easy is the camshaft to replace? I have worked out the...

Looking for a pair of new heads for my V8 4.6 Thor engine. Seen plenty on eBay, but I don't really want to go there. Have looked at V8 Tuner and Turner Engineering. Can anyone give advice on a good supplier?

Re built cylinder heads after overheating issues. All went back together ok and no more overheating. The engine will not run very smooth and misfires. After checking the usual electric bits I done a compression test. Right hand bank perfect with 165psi on all cylinders. Left hand bank has no...

Got a fault code P1319 miss fire at low fuel level. Has anyone any idears what this could mean. Got plenty of fuel in the tank. Resently rebuilt the heads.

Can any give me a link to some free OBD2 software? Thanks in advance

I finished the top end rebuild last weekend after overheating issues. All back together and started up after a few turns. Cured the overheating problem. The problem I have now is the engine is quite lumpy and does not want to rev well and down on power. I have checked over everything to make...

Putting the top end back together on my v8. All going well, the heads are on. Since I had the rocker covers off, I thought I may as well give them a refurb. I stripped them down. Now I have come to put them back together and I cannot remember where a little valve goes in one of the two...

Pulled the heads over the weekend due to the coolent system pressurising and no compression or very low compression in the left hand bank. Once the heads were of I thought it looked like the head gasket was leaking as there is residue around the gasket. A second opinion reckons that's just oil...

Well I done a compression test today after suspicions of head gasket failure. To me the results look good, in the way that hopefully its not got a crack in the block. 8. 165 7. 140 6. 165 5. 0 4. 165 3. 95 2. 165 1. 0 All in psi. What does people think?

Hi All, Not posted on here for a while. Had the Range Rover for some 6 years now, And has been pretty reliable. Serviced and maintained by myself. Anyway. The head gaskets need doing, Got exhaust gases bubbling up into the coolent. Seems a straight forward job. What I am worried about is the...

Can anyone tell me how long the windscreen wipers should be on my RR P38. I have just brought some new ones and the drivers side is to long, Although the same length as the origionals, they must of been wrong to start with. 19" rings a bell but want to confirm before I take them back.

Just tried to unlock my P38 range rover and it wont. Changed the battery in the key fob, But made no difference. I am suspicious the battery is flat as in has been stood for a week. Could this be the cause?

Just popped to the shops. Went to start it up and nothing. Gearbox fault is coming up on the dash and I can here a clicking sound coming from somewhere under the bonnet. Called the AA. So walked home. Just waiting for the AA to call me back. Any surgestions?

I want to fit some stiffer shocks to my p38. There are lots to choose from and alot of price difference. I have seen Monroe's for about £110 up to Koni at about £380. Whats the difference? The Koni are ajustable of the car, but I'm not bothered about that.

Aparently K&N don't make a cone filter to fit a 4.6 2001 model. I can't see that there is much difference between my thor airbox and the gems airbox. Any help on this, Cheers

Can anyone confirm that the BMW wheel fitment is the same as a range rover. I'm sure it is with a pcd of 120. I just whant to be safe before I make my next move. Cheerrs.
