Hi All, Apologies in advance for the waffly post... My 4.6 HSE developed a heavy misfire quite a long time ago following some work to recommission it following an extended period of non use. Basically they put a 2nd hand pair of cats on and replaced the O2 sensors (amongst other things, but I...

Hi all, Apologies for the long rambling post, but this is a difficult problem to describe! As some of you may know, my P38 has been off the road for a while. In attempting to put it back on the road I've had to battle becm problems and other little nasties, none of which were present when I...

Hi All, I've been having lots of electrical headaches with my P38, mostly relating to the starter operating itself and the battery going flat. Wrt the battery going flat, I've disconnected the RF receiver wire and had been running an experiment to monitor the battery voltage. After 4 weeks...

Hi All, Just managed to get my dead starter off and compared it with the new Denso starter from Island 4x4 to find that it's about an inch shorter. The business end looks ok, but the part numbers are completely different. The Denso one has 26801 and DSN002 on it which doesn't match anything in...

Having just about recovered from my BECM problem where the flipping thing was occasionally cranking itself, it now appears that the starter is suddenly dead. I'm wondering if the becm is actually repaired. It's already had a flipping expensive new fuse box. It was working fine last week, but...

Hi All, Apologies for the long post... Not content with costing me a small fortune to get it through the MOT just so that I could move it when I moved house. Still not content that the lpg vapourizer appears to have developed a leaky diaphram and it won't run properly on petrol either, it...

Hi All, As part of putting my Range Rover back on the road, I had the cats replaced with some second hand items. Unfortunately according to the garage the lambda sensors were a different fitting so they put in new ones. Since then then car has suffered an intermittent problem with power...

Hi All, My P38 has been off the road for a couple of years - I suspected the head gasket was blowing between a cylinder and the water jacket as the coolant was being pressurised so the intention was that I would do the head gaskets while it was off the road. Unfortunately life got in the way...

Hi All, Just got my P38 back on the road (wow, that was an expensive MOT!), and one particular niggle is confronting me again. When my lpg kit was installed, the installer put the LPG ECU in the battery bay, meaning he had to fit a smaller battery in order to accommodate it. This has the...

Hi All. All fired up with enthusiasm, I fitted my nice shiny 'new' EAS box yesterday, containing my recently overhauled valve block and a brand new compressor. Early signs were encouraging - everything appeared to work, bar an initial leak due to an improperly seated pipe. Went for a...

Hi All, I bought a 2nd hand valve block to rebuild a while ago and whilst replacing all of the O rings, I noticed that all of the airline collets were missing. I know I could just pull them out of my existing block when I swap it over, but I'd prefer to have it all as ready to swap over...

Hi All, I'm trying to price up the cost of overhauling my top end when I sort out my leaking HG. Is this one from Island 4x4 ok? It's got Elring composite HGs in it, which I've at least heard of from somewhere on here...? Head Gasket Set (Includes Elring Head Gasket) P38 4.0/4.6...

I've stopped using my P38 as my daily drive while I decide what to do about the head gasket (to re-engine or rebuild, that's the question) and other issuettes. Trouble is, the battery keeps going flat despite the solar charger I stuck on it. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive 'maintenance'...

Hi All, Off out in a couple of hours to remove all the height sensors from a breaker. Anyone know offhand what size spanners I'll need? Any other tools worth taking? I was going to check on mine but the battery is flat and its on its bump stops (and my trolley jack is supporting the...

Hi All, Just a quickie (I hope). I've been offered a pair of cats from a THOR engined 4.0. Will they be the same as mine (GEMS 4.6)? I thought the THOR vehicles had two lambda sensors per cat, but this only seems to have a single sensor at the front of each cat so I'm hoping they will work...

Hi All, I'm getting ready to do the head gaskets on my Rangey. Any recommendations for somewhere to skim and generally sort my heads out? I'm probably probably going to do a top end overhaul at the same time. I assume the standard cam is still the best option for replacement? It's done 154k...

Hi Guys, Just a quickie. Rave states that to remove these, one simply hooks an allen key or something similarly hooked into the corner of the left hand one. Does this need to release something or does it literally just act as a hook allowing the vent assembly to 'easily' slide out? The...

Hi Guys, Had an EAS fault while stuck in traffic this morning which progressed to a hard fault. - Blimey the ride is uncomfortable on the bump stops! Anyway, when I got to the office, I stuck the EAS Kicker on and had two faults - FL can not lower FL valve stuck Presumably, if the valve...

Hi All, Think, my HG has finally given up the ghost after leaking for quite a while. Now the engine has done (I think) 150k miles. Pretty sure it will need a new cam and timing chain as well as valve guides. Was thinking of getting the heads gas flowed while they're off too, although no idea...

I managed to get slightly stuck at the weekend while laning, but I don't think I should have. Basically I got cross axled with one of the rear corners hung up on the side of a big hole, keeping that rear wheel off the ground. The other wheel was firmly planted. Being a 98, I am aware that...
