Hi guys, well after 12 months of almost trouble free (ecu lock out, exhaust blow, sticky rear caliper slider) motoring in my second/first drivable p38 4.0, I thought I may aswell take the plunge this week as I'm off work and sort out some niggly jobs. Mainly one of the oil leaks (I hope). Looks...

Hi guys, I've just been offered a Landrover 90, its been off the road for a couple of years and in need of a bit of restoration. My only concern is the identification of the vehicle as the number plates are missing and the farmer has lost the documentation for it. Ive got a chassis number, and...

Hi guys my p38 v8 has got an oil leak like niagra. It seems to leak after driving it. I had a look underneath and it seems to be flowing from over the top of the gearbox bellhousing. Any hints to what lies above the gearbox? Or is it just possibly my rocker cover gaskets?

Hi guys, haven't been on here a while, purely due to being too busy, also I have neglected the range rover for a couple of weeks, and as it sat there the rear suspension has decided to sag its arse and by the looks refusing to rise. Just had to jump start it, and left it running for about 15...

Hi guys, the other day, my p38 4.0 wouldnt start, no cranking , no clicking, nothing. So took start motor off and bench tested it, its ok, so I put it back on and checked for power. Got permanent live, but no cranking live, anyone else come across this problem and fixed it? Just starting to...

Hi guys, this has probably been asked before, but done a search and nothing come up. Just bought some wheels for my p38, only 18s but better than the 16s on it. Ive got two tyres at 6mm of tread and two tyres at 3mm of tread, just wondering whether its likely to cause transmission failure if I...

Hi guys, got a new problem today. :(:mad: My 1996 4.0 is having difficulty starting, you have to hold the accelerator to the floor and crank it over. It will then start for a couple of seconds and die. I have to repeat this about 4/5 times before it will actually run, at this point it will...

Hi guys, looks like my p38 4.0 has got a major oil leak, seems to be losing 4 litres every 4 days or so, big big mess on the road and my drive lol. Had a quick look on the ramp when it was being moted and it looks like the rear crank seal. (well thats what Im going for at the minute). Obviously...

Hi guys, must say I have had a couple of months trouble free RangeRoverness. Bar a seized rear caliper slider and loved every minute of it. But this morning its developed a problem. It wont idle when in drive waiting in traffic etc. It drives as it should and will idle in neutral, but if you...

Well just picked up my Range Rover and surprisingly it made it home 14 miles. Now the blokes saying 350miles on £50? Does that sound right? I hope it is because I was getting 100 miles from £20 in my 1.8 Astra. Still lovely drive andpleased with it at the moment, well apart from it having really...

Hi guys, after getting rid of the bain of my life a couple of months ago, Ive now purchased yet another bloody one. Albeit it is not gas converted and at the time of the veiwing, this Range Rover was running efficiently. Rest assured though Im not holding my breathe on how long its going to...

Anyone suffered from wiring problems on their p38 4.0 v8? Just had mine plugged in, and it comes up crank sensor wiring malfunction, injector 6 open circuit and injector 5 open circuit. The guy said wiring fault or ecu, obviously Im hoping for the wiring fault. Anyone had similar issues?

Anyone swapped an LPG system from one p38 to another? Is it just a case of plumbing it in? Obviously it will need setting up proffesionally once installed, but are they easy enough to swap over?

Cant find out what's up with my p38, (overfuelling), need to either sell it or fix it and keep, advertised it on Pistonheads an not any real interest, just wondering how much they fetch as spares? Any rough ideas? Thanks

Hi guys, still got problems with my p38 4.0. But now I have family issues which may result in the sale of the Range rover if I cant fix it. Had IrishRover come and plug it in to show that the Lambdas were reading stupind volumes. Which we thought was why it was overfuelling and flooding on tick...

Hi guys, had Irishrover come round the other day to use his faultmate on my p38 4.0, to try and get the bloody thing running right. Came up with the lambda sensors reading to high and chucking loads of fuel in the engine, replaced the lambda sensors last night. Started it up and ran nice, after...

Anyone recommend a decent independent P38 specialist in the West Midlands, who can actually tell me whats wrong with mine? Or anyone got diagnostics equipment locally who wants to plug into it for me? Ransom paid.

Well Ive just plugged the Range Rover into my mates scanner, and got some data. Not had it running long as I have whinging neighbours who are apparently reporting me for starting my Range Rover up last weekend and revving the balls off it. Anyway I only had it on for a about a minute at a time a...

Hi, after the problems with my 1995 p38 4.0 42d, I managed to windle my mates scanner to try and get some live data of the bloody thing tomorrow. Anyone know any readings? I'm after MAF readings, coolant tmep sensor readings and lambda sensors reading, and anything else anyone can think of. I'm...

Hi guys, my p38 is really getting on my nerves now. Changed the head gaskets a few months back and didn't make a difference. Recently stripped the front down to reveal a slack timing chain. Replaced the timing chain today, started it up and mint ran fine just over 1000rpm for 10 minutes and then...
