Hi hope someone maybe able to help. The other day i was trying to reverse a car trailer with a car on up our drive. The 1st part of the drive has a small incline and the rangerover was in low box reverse, i had nearly got the trailer to the top of the incline when the car refused to go any...

Im not sure exactly when my p38 was built but im now beginning to think its quite an early one after a quick chat with the chief engineer on the l322 rangie. I wonder if anyone knows what chassis numbers the early uk p38's have?

Here here! my classic is due to have its mot on tue and it will be the first time it will have been on the road for over a year i cant wait. I have missed that v8 soooooooo much specially now since ive put a kent cam in it! Balls to fuel efficiancy!

Nowt worked so removed head and took it to local engine specialist engineering company( JF Payne in Eynsham). They ended up drilling it out and inserting a wire thread insert. They said it was a nitemare to get out as was completely seized in!

tried welding a nut on and it didnt work, there is only approx 3mm left sticking out so mole grips cant grip it. will try the bigger drills tomorrow.hope it works as dont fancy having to remove the head!

Thanks will give it a try in the morning!

Stripping down my 3.5 efi for a cam change i was undoing the bolts that secure the inlet manifold into the cylinder heads. When i got to the last one it sheared, it is the forward one on the drivers side, there is about 5mm of the bolt sticking out of the cylinder head. I have drilled a hole...

Thanks, will have a look. Want it for towing and playing and it is an auto!

I spoke to real steel and their cams were not suitable as like you say the torque is at the top end and i want it at the bottom, which is what ed said his offered. I already have a janspeed exhaust and K&N filter fitted. I now just need a cam, i already have new followers chain and sprockets etc...

In the recent episode of wheeler dealers Ed China fitted an uprated cam to a defender 90. He mentioned during the show he had found it on the internet for approx £120. I would like to fit one of these cams to my rangie for a bit of extra grunt low down. but dont know where he sourced it from?

Im swapping my old gearboxes with those from an 89 classic which has the viscous coupling and mine doesnt. Is it a straight swap ? what are the wires on the rear of the transfer box as my old one doesnt have them? Also im about to swap the cam and want to know whats the best way to get the crank...

For a while my p38 has been making a squealing noise from the engine when it revs above 2500rpm. I have changed the serpentine belt as it was looking tired to no avail as it is still squealing? Any ideas?

The other slightly cheaper thing to do which im going to shortly do on my classic is to strip all the old stuff off then spray it with stone chip guard then grey primer! my friend has done it to his and it gives quite a good texture/finish! Will double check on the stone guard part 1st tho as...

Welcome to the money pit club!! my to do list seems to be never ending!lol A good few white knucles will help free it off. Mine gets stuck occaisionally and i stick the main box in neutral with the engine running and it seem to help a bit!
