Hey folks, Quick question about MOT emissions testing for an MOT. Was expecting it to fly through being on LPG but it struggled to pass, was originally reading about 1% CO and between 300 and 500 on the HC. After a bit of reading it looks like the tester should have put it on the analyser as a...

Hey folks, Had some issue with the cruise control not working but left it alone as I wasn't using it that much. Doing quite a bit more driving and missing the cruise control a lot. I went through the electronic troubleshooting in RAVE and all seemed good apart from the wheel rotation test...

Hey folks, Real trivial issue, should be ashamed for posting...but, I'm missing the fixings for one of the front floor mats...the horror! Can't find part number or replacement after numerous searches, anyone know an online supplier or part number for the plastic square holder with a screw...

Hey folks, Makin progress sorting the niggles out on the P38, crank sensor issue sorted for now (ish). I noticed on the faultmate that the intake air temp sensor is reading very low, between -5 and 0 deg C rising to something more realistic after quite a while. Have tried electrical cleaner...

Hi folks, Had a post in the Range Rover section about a loose crank sensor housing on my 4.6 GEMS. Thought I'd follow it up on here as it's a bit more V8 specific. Basically the crank sensor has snapped two of the inner tangs on my flywheel, was just wondering how badly this would be affecting...

Hi folks, Hoping someone can answer a quick easy question for me. Doing a bit of work on the range and I noticed the sensor in the flywheel housing on my GEMS P38 is loose...the whole mounting (circular cylinder) moves back and forth by about 5-6mm even though the sensor mounting bolts seem...

Hey folks, Just thought I'd put a quick post up. After nearly 8 months of sitting at the back of my drive I've finally got time to get my P38 back on the road and in good running order...fingers crossed! :D Replaced the rear brake lines and all seems good, still dealing with some engine...

Still working through the buckaroo issue but had a small disaster with a ruptured brake line. Rear brake line has blown running along the chassis crossmember above the rear drivers side airbag. Gonna need to start replacing the brake lines but that section is a real PITA to get to, any...

Hi guys, I've put a post in the P38 section, but thought I'd ask in this section as well if it's just a V8 issue. The P38 has been behaving itself for a while now but my stumbling problem is back. It started off fairly gently as just a very occasional sudden drop in revs, but it worsened...

Hi guys, Well the P38 has been behaving itself for a while now, but after a few longish runs my old stumbling problem is back. It started off fairly gently as just a very occasional sudden drop in revs, but it worsened over time to the whiplash inducing stumble and surge buckaroo and stalling...

Hi folks, Thought I had a leaking caliper but after changing the rear diff oil I noticed a nice puddle under the wheel, guessing it's the half shaft oil seal? Might be being dense but I can't find any section in rave for the hub assembly only the diff assembly, anyone tell me if there is a...

hi folks, Looking at getting an LPG conversion kit for my GEMS V8, just hoping to get some input on maintenance jobs to do at the same time. Since I'll be removing the inlet manifold I thought it's probably not a stretch to take the heads off and replace the gaskets so bought a head gasket kit...

Hi folks, Still tryin to troubleshoot the prob I'm having with the P38. Just a quick question about testing the IAC valve. I've tested the resistance across the coils in the stepper motor and both are within range. The problem is when I test it while it's running it doesn't seem to make any...

PAS fluid change on my list of maintainance jobs. Can't see on rave how to drain the system, is it just a case of disconnecting the reservoir return and letting the system power new fluid through? Is Dexron II ok for this or does it have to be Dexron III? Any recommended additives for this?

I'm havin a few troubles diagnosing some running probs with my P38 and don't wanna spend a bundle on sensors without knowing for sure they aint working. Would be great to be able to compare what I'm getting from the OBD on mine with a car that's running nicely, so thought I'd put a cheeky post...

Hi folks, Apologies if this has been covered at some point already, have been searching but can't find the right info. Have been having some probs with intermittent power loss and stuttering on my GEMS V8, originally ruled out the MAF after initial diagnostics. Still having some probs so...

Hey folks, had a bit of a mishap in the week and was hoping to get some input on what might have caused it. Pic is worth a thousand words, this is just in front of the rear passengers wheel. Link in case the image doesn't show Edit: After lookin at it a bit more I reckon it might have been...

It's painful admitting when you make a mistake, but I make a habit of it so nothing new! The centre box on my V8 is lookin like swiss cheese, so ordered a cheap one off fleabay (tryin to get the car back into running shape without havin to remortgage)...me bein a muppet failed to check the part...

Hi folks, First post, so hi! :) I've got a few oil leaks on my '98 4.6 P38 and was hoping to stop it marking it's territory by a little at least! One of the leaks is from around the sump, looking at gasket change and RAVE cd says apply bead of gasket sealant in various widths...just wondered...
