If the sensor is faulty the ECU just assumes a value for it so it shouldn't cause a rough tickover at least.

I admire your trust but since this is only the latest in a line of similar P38 bashing articles, and that I know for a fact that several such polite and considered complaints have been made previously, I fear my view on the attitude of the magazine's staff to these complaints is entirely...

Don't bother, the first thing you are taught as a journo is how to ignore the great unwashed, since (of course) the only reason they disagree with you is as a result of their stupidity. Vote with your feet and put them out of a job. Even then they won't get the point but at least you won't...

I'm not saying they shouldn't cover the known faults but they should cover them as they do for the rest of the LR range. That is to say; take a positive attitude to overcoming the faults with good advice on repair methods and sources of parts. Compare and contrast with the information to be...

I think their (lack of) tools and skills has something to do with it. Did you see their article on replacing the rear wheel bearings? It appeared to me that they had neither oxy-acetylene or an air drive impact wrench in the 'workshop' they did the work in. They did have a big pipe to use with...

Don't buy one with any hint of overheating, as you rarely get away with a simple head gasket replacement - it usually means a new head. Otherwise, the parts aren't particularly expensive as there are plenty of independant BMW specialists out there. The remote receiver is at the back under the...

Spot on but don't waste your time arguing mate, it's a moving goal post - now it's petrol vs. diesel ffs...

Geekfreek said: Performance air filter......why? it will cost a fair bit and the only thing you'll notice is more sucking sounds! which might give some the psychological notion that they have more power, but stick it on a dyno and a well placed fart would give a better increase of power...

I've looked into this over the last few months and it would seem the collective view is: 'Superchip' (or similar, there are various types). ITG 'performance' Inlet Filter Larger Intercooler Probably in that order, although you would ideally want the chip to match the mods. Not possible if...

I wouldn't fit a K&N cone type filter if that's what you mean. Firstly because the filtering capability is suspect (see many published reports on this) and secondly because unless you engineer a sophisticated inlet system you will be drawing hot air into the engine (less power) and risking water...

it would seem from the lack of response to this post that everyone else who uses them has never had a problem , it must just be a bad set that i got ?????. rick. I have a set on my classic that I use with a MS/EDIS 8 set-up (BIG spark) and LPG with no trouble at all. Got them direct from...

They are certainly rare, especially the arms. I sold a pair last year on eBother to someone in Luxembourg for 175 quid... Unless you can trip over some at an autojumble or whatever, you are just going to have to keep watching on there and be patient. I hope you aren't looking for the early...
