Might be a real long shot. But had the same problem when I put a v8 in my 90 and it was the fuel pump position. I originally had the electric pump mounted in the engine bay and it wouldn't work, as soon as I moved it to its proper location behind the fuel tank problem sorted. Might be worth a look

Hi, you will find that both the front doors and the tailgate are not being locked when using the fob. I had the same thing on mine and after reading the wire circuits and understanding the systems it turned out to be the drivers door lock/switch unit. Other then the cost of the new part the...

the book symbol can mean a few faults. If your A/C needs to be re-gased the compressor clutch will not be able to engage. If you turn the AC on and look at the compressor you will see if the clutch is engaging or if the pulley is free wheeling. The other common faults are blend flap motors which...

these are still available from land rover for the very reasonable price of £1600 plus vat. you can see why these were not fitted to many P38 from new. LOL

so it looks like its a crank issue?. well that i can check easily. The end float/thrust is set with the middle shell on the big end journal. I have no reason to doubt these as they have been replaced. I will pull the crank this weekend and get it checked. Maybe I have been looking at this all...

The oil pressure does increase to max of 55psi before the relief valve lifts and that is as soon as the revs increase. If you read rave regarding the engine, the output at the oil pump at tick over 750 - 1000 rpm should be around the 20 psi mark. I had no oil pressure hence the light and the...

the engine was rebuilt over 2 years ago and had given me completley trouble free motoring for 15k miles, until the pressure issue. Since then it has been striped and rebuilt again in the last 8 weeks to try and sort the oil pressure issue. Before you go down the oil pump route it has been...

No probs, I will keep you posted. Its quite happy in my workshop at the moment. Drop me a line and if its here your welcome to it. I would rather it went to some one how is going to use it.

I dont get any beebs from mine when looking or unlocking. Normally a beeb is followed by a message on the message centre. The common ones are a door or bonnet isnt shut properly. thinking about it these would be a high pitch alarm siren. signifying a miss lock. It could be a sticking ignition...

got loads of common sense other then the block being old, well not really but yeah see your point. Every other component is new.. but come on the abuse you lot fired at me was not called for. Thats the point.

look guys, not after abuse. okay. my rangie has been out of action for 8 months. i got the chance and purchased a brand new coscast engine and fitted it this week to get my range back up and running. Over the last 8 months I rebuilt the old lump as it was my only option to get my rangie back up...

no chance. I know what the new parts which have done no miles are worth. hence the price. The oil issue maybe something really stupid. the only reason I didn't investigate further was due to a new engine coming up for grabs. If I get no takers I am more then happy to build it for me to have in...

Hi all, Thanks for all your help on this one. I have fitted my nice new coscast engine today into my Rangie. I had to drill out the two lower fixings in the bell housing on the autobox to bolt the new motronic ali sump up. but other then that is is a great success. I am so chuffed to have my...

Hi All, I have just finished fitting my new engine into my Range Rover. So the old one is up for grabs. It is a 4.0 Gems V8. The old lump is as follows. 15k Miles ago the engine was built from scratch, the block was machined and Top Hat liners were fitted this costing around 1.5k alone. It...

Hi I have had this with my rangie turns out that if you don't follow the procedure from the workshop manual you can get all sorts of problems. It is not just as easy as bleeding the breaks like on older vehicle. You have to bleed the systems from the ABS Valve block and work your way through it.

I had the problem in mine. Changed the boot seal problem gone :) Nice easy fix!! makes a change for a P38.

I had that problem with mine. it was a front caliper jammed. the sliders on the caliper sized. easy enough job to fix. but worth slipping the wheels off and checking before it runs a set of pads out.

Hi Colin I am going to sell the old engine. It will be a long engine. So block with tophat liners, pistons, reground crank new shells brand new cam, new timing chain and gears. New front cover with oil pump, complete with heads. These have been skimmed the valves lapped in with rocker gear. It...

Okay, I have had the chance to park a later range rover next to mine and compare the engines. It appears that the Aluminium sumped engine will fit my bellhousing on the gearbox. But I need to drill the 2 lower holes out to M10 clearance holes. Other then that I cant see anything else... I...

According to rave, the oil pump should be able to give 25psi of pressure at idle and at hight revs 55psi of pressure. this is the point that the relief valve opens in the front cover. To take the releif valve out is a real nightmare with the front cover attached to the car. There are 2 fitted...
