There is a German company, Elsbett, that do conversion kits for various diesel engines to run on veg oil, either single or dual tank systems. I am interested in their kit that is for the p38 Range Rover (M51 engine). Anyone running one of these? I am particularly interested in what...

The diesel p38 has the transmission cooler tucked under the front wing. It is in a dumb place and gets clobbered easily when you go offroad. I know to my cost. I would also like to fit fog lights but there is no easy way. I have the later cooler with the fan. I have looked at putting another...

I have replaced the ZF 4HP22 gearbox on my diesel p38 with the stronger 4HP24 as used on the 4.6 V8. A few people have asked about the details involved so here are a few notes: Background: I have got a chipped 2000 DSE. It has a Jeremy Fearne V2 chip and a larger Allisport intercooler /...

I am getting a lot of oil through the turbo and intercooler on my 2000 DSE. I have removed the EGR which helped, however a lot of oil I have found is coming from the crankcase vent. On my 2000 model the vent valve is inside the camshaft cover. It has a membrane and spring mechanism to maintain...

The turbocharger on my 2000 DSE looks like it needs replacing and I am looking round for another one. It is marked TD04 - 11G - 4. Does anyone know if p38 turbochargers are identical to BMW cars and Omegas with the M51 engine? Are they all the same? Dave :)

My 2000 DSE has done about 125K miles. Been chipped. Starts and runs OK. Is it worth getting the injectors serviced after this kind of mileage? I am not sure what is involved or what the cost / benefits are if there are no problems or should I leave well alone until there is a problem?

One of the rear brakes started binding on my p38 a few weeks ago - evidenced by high heat off one of the rear wheels. It was definitely just the one wheel. I was about to change the caliper however I have now found both rear brakes binding. Could it just be coincidence or is the problem...

My turbocharger is leaking oil internally and externally from the air compressor side and is getting worse. I have looked for for a rebuild kit for the turbo but can't find one. Has anyone changed the seals and bearings and is it a straightforward DIY job? Dave :(
