Hi all. My 2000 petrol V8 has died and I'll probably be scrapping it... shortly before it died I'd fuelled it up (both petrol and LPG!:mad:). Before I get rid, I want to retrieve most of the fuel - petrol at least...! What is the best way of going about getting the fuel out? While I'm on...

Hi all. My P38 died a few weeks ago and I picked up its replacement - a 2007 L322 TDV8 last weekend. On the first of (probably many!) trips to fill it with fuel I noticed that the filler flap does not appear to lock - at all. My first question is - should it? Assuming it should lock with...

Hi all. My 2000 P38 4.6 V8 has just died, and I'm looking at an L322 TDV8 2007/8 to replace it. I've read a lot on here (using the search!) about general things to look out for, but most advice seems to point towards issues earlier than the cars I'm looking at - particularly gearbox issues on...

Hi all. I'm just looking to replace my (just deceased) P38 with a 2007/8 L322 TDV8. My question relates to the front grille of the L322.... Bearing in mind that I'm only looking at TDV8s, I've quite a chunk of time looking on Autotrader, some of them have a grey plastic grille, and some have...

Hi all. I've had a search, but I'm struggling to find answers to what I suspect is pretty common... The car is a P38 4.6 V8 2000. I've noticed this problem developing over the last 2-3 months, and it seems to be getting progressively worse. It started off feeling like a misfire (or similar)...

Hi. I've just taken delivery of a replacement oil cooler radiator for the transmission oil in my 2000 P38 4.6 V8. I had to remove the old one to change the camshaft, and one of the oil hose connecting nuts sheared the thread flat when I was unscrewing it from the rad - hence the new one...

Hi again. I'm wanting to get some replacement rocker cover bolts (I managed to lose some). I guess I have 2 questions really, firstly does anyone have the LR part number(s)? Different lengths?? Second, can anyone tell me the correct thread spec and lengths for the bolts? (this is so I can...

2nd question of the day.... P38 4.6 V8 2000 I'm planning to get the front cover cleaned up and re-fit tonight. Should I be fitting the gasket dry, or with sealant? The workshop manual doesn't mention sealant, but I'm not sure which way to go.... Cheers in advance :)

Hi, yet another question... one of two today... I've got a set of ARP head studs from Real Steel. The set doesn't come with instructions (oddly), and I've seen a few different opinions on torque settings for these bolts. I was going to do the 180 degree thing, but because the thread is a...

Hi again. Sorry to bug you all with random questions, but I'm hoping to start putting my engine back together in the next day or two and need some more advice... I've seen reference to putting 'stuff' on bolt threads on various things I've read; I get it for the CH bolts, I've ordered some...

Hi all. Yet another bolt problem...! (The car is a 2000 P38 4.6 V8). I'm wanting to get behind the front cover to get at the timing chain, camshaft etc. I'm stuck because I can't work out how to get the crankshaft pulley bolt undone. Given that I've not got a spare £150 kicking around...

Hi all. I'm very confused, a whole bunch of threads seem to have completely disappeared - hence the new one. I had huge problems getting my heads off, eventually resorting to all kinds of fun and games to get them off.... Anyway, I've just had a call from the machine shop telling me...

Hi all. I promise, I have tried to search for an answer to this question, but I've not come up with anything useful.... In a nutshell, I'm going to attempt a HG replacement shortly, but having never done one, I'm after some help on what bits I need to buy...? And any guidance on where to buy...

Hi all. I figured a new thread would make sense. I've had some help on another thread about my overheating problem for a 2000 4.6 V8 P38, and I'm now thinking I've either got a blown head gasket or a cracked block. I'm thinking of my next step, and I'm considering using one of the additive...

Hi all. I won't bore you all again with my overheating problem, but I've run out of antifreeze and need to get some more. I've read various things suggesting that the wrong antifreeze could cause problems.... I'm guessing that if I go to my local LR dealership I'll be screwed on price...

Hi all. I’ve been lurking for a while, picking up tips here and there, but despite the pages and pages that have been written about P38s overheating, I’ve not found anyone with my exact problem.... so I open the mystery to the collective wisdom of this forum....! I'd posted this in the general...
