I've just sorted out my V8 with exactly the same symptoms. The steady loss of coolant means there is definitely a leak somewhere, and once there is not enough coolant to warm the lpg evaporators then the heater and the lpg will both not work. You need to find the problem fairly quickly because...

I love these guys who see the question about changing the P38 Range Rover V8 water pump, quickly look it up on RAVE and then write knowledgeably, ‘Easy job – say about 2 hours’ This is the story of changing mine on my 1998 4.0 P38. It is a long saga of anger, of wounded pride, bloodshed and...

My 4.0L P38 is - :eek: The LPG packed up when I took the EAS valve block out to repair it. £35 of LPG will last 3 weeks going to work and pootling about- but I've just used £25 of petrol in one weekend!! :mad: I'm getting the LPG fixed ASAP!

Yes, thanks guys. Darkness fell and I had to leave it for tonight. I'll have another go tomorrow.

Wammers - does the Hooded Claw do PayPal, LOL? Datatek - thanks for the suggestion - I never noticed the 'Donate' heading before. I have made a donation. :)

Can any of you LPG experts offer me some advice? I have a Romano multipoint LPG system installed on a '98 RR 4.0 HE which was working perfectly. However, the control box is mounted on the throttle bracket plate and I had to move it in order to fix the EAS fault diagnosed by wammers. I have not...

Success!! The new diaphragm finally arrived this afternoon - bloody Post Office took 4 days to deliver a First Class packet - and I whipped out the valve block as per instructions. When I first saw the diaphragm I thought it was okay, but when I pulled it out of the cap it just fell to peices in...

Thanks Wammers. I've gone for the diaphragm kit for now so that I can get her off the bump-stops; I ordered one this afternoon. Once it's in and the suspension is up again I'll assess how the EAS behaves; if is still settling overnight then I'll go for the seal kit and do that next. I've seen...

This is brilliant, Wammers. You diagnosed it in one! I'm thinking I'll get the diaphragm kit without checking the block first because even if it's the other thing I would change the diaphragm while I was there. Were you posting a picture? If you could point me to a page showing the diaphragm...

Wammers, Bit of a delay here; had to remove the LPG controller from the throttle support bracket before I could get to the exhaust port. And yes - you were quite right. While the pump is running there is almost as much air coming through the exhaust port as there is on the pump; in fact there...

Excellent, thanks Wammers. I really appreciate your time on this. I feel as if I'm getting somewhere now, rather than just scratching my head. I'll check it tomorrow morning and report back. Sorry Wammers, I just saw your second post - I'm in Oldham.

Wammers, Strangely, the pump is working now; the last time I checked I was certain that the pump was not working. I've taken the blue connector off and checked the output of the pump. It's strong, I think; I can't stop the pressure with my thumb. Taking off the inlet filter has no effect so...

Blimey! Quick response guys - thanks! Wammers - yep, I'll check output and exhaust and get back to you. Datatek - yes, I have checked the filter; I'll check the pump output first and then check the airlines.

Hi everyone; owner of a 1998 P38 4.0HE on LPG. I've been a member for a while but I have had nothing to report; my P38 was working nicely and I don't know enough about the Rangey yet to help anyone else. Now I have a problem with the EAS that is baffling me. For a little while the back has...

Like you I was wary of the P38 for a while. I tried to find a nice Classic instead, but the Classics that aren't complete rotboxes were too expensive. So I researched the P38 and I found the EAS software by RSW, bought a lead and a really cheap Toughbook laptop. This laptop can also run the...

Dan, First of all before you look for codes, clean the MAF, (Mass Airflow Sensor). If this is very sooty it can drive Long Term fuel trims awry, see Cleaning the MAF - solving overdrive problems Use brake or carb cleaner to spray the element inside the housing. IME this can make a huge...

Tony, If the pump was worn out I think you'd have noticed it taking longer and longer to raise the rangey over the past few weeks. From your description, it seems that this came on suddenly. You've tested the pressure switch and it stays open circuit so that is clearly faulty and it much more...

If you have running issues on petrol but not on gas I would check that the MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor) is clean and bright. Because it is a hot wire in the airstream over time the wire can get all sooted up, reducing its sensitivity and this drives the fuel trims awry. I had this issue recently...

You don't know how to do it either, then?

Bolts, the guys here could be a little clearer. I'm a newby, but I'll try to give a clear answer. Four wheel drive will not necessarily help on ice and nor will ABS because the Landy is quite heavy and its inertia will slide it across a junction with all 4 wheels locked up if you're going too...
