    P38A P38 Rear transverse brake line

    Hi All, just a quick heads up for something to check the next time you're looking at the brake lines on the rear of the P38. I've just changed both calipers as one had decided to seize up. I also had an advisory on corrosion on the pipework from last year, so I thought I might as well change...

    Coolant loss culprit....

    Hi All, there's been many posts about coolant loss of the invisible kind from the 4.4 V8's, so I thought I'd just add this from my own car - two pictures showing the leak from the LPG Tee hose which look as as if its going porous on me and the main manifold leak due to the jubillee clip - new...

    Lambda size

    Hi All, I'm going to have to replace my Front pipes on our 99 4.6 P38, and as they've been on there since new I'd imagine my chances of removing the Lambdas is close to nil. The pipes are the 4 lambda hole ones but with only 2 (front) lambdas fitted. Can anyone steer me in the direction of the...

    Tow hitch

    Hi All, just been given a trailer with 10 mini wheels on it. Our L322 has the quick release tow hitch fitted, but this is way to high for the trailer and although it runs along at a jaunty angle - it ain't right. I've seen the adjustable tow hitches which fit where the Q/R goes, does anyone know...

    Transfer Box Motor

    Hi All, I've been getting some trans failsafe mode messages and the trans will only stay in 1-4 not go into 5th on some occasions. Faultmate gives some canbus faults so I figure its just trying to muck me about with electrical gremlins. I figure a good clean of the motor connector and associated...

    Rolling start gearbox hiccup?

    Hi All, has anyone experienced a hesitant change down - say on the run up to a roundabout, when slowing, if you go and don't stop, the gearbox hesitates before selecting 1st? I had a S type Jag with this problem, but this had the later 6HP 6 speed box. The box had a fluid/ filter change before I...

    Installing an Alpine CHA S634CD Changer

    Hi All, has anyone actually managed to install this unit in their L322? I've a 02 with DSP and I picked up the cd changer ( quick fix as I'm never in the car long enough to require Ipod set up, however the same 6 albums can get tedious), but I can't seem to find a connecting lead to take the...

    Rear hub bushings - upper and lower

    Hi All, been reading the various threads on the replacement of these bushes, but just before I go ordering a load of parts, with my car if you apply a rotational force to the disc back plate the top bush moves back and forward :confused:! I take it they're not meant to do this, or are they? I...

    Inertia switch wiring

    Hi All, I'm about mid way through an LPG conversion on my 99, 4.6, and thought that I'd like to put an inertia switch on the feed to the ECU. Hopefully if we're unfortunate to get in a shunt, the petrol one will isolate the petrol and the gas one will shut off the gas. I've had a look at...

    Something to check?

    Hi all, just thought I'd share a wee problem I came across. It concerns the Breather in the drivers side rocker cover. On the 4.0 (Thor) this was totally blocked, despite regular oil changes. The engine suffers from oil leaks and mayo in the filler. I've since cleaned it out and given it an oil...

    Belt Tensioners

    Hi All, has anyone got a torque figure for the two belt tensioners on the 4.4 engine? I've got the ones for the adjusting bolts ( 22 &18) but nowhere can I find a figure for the bolts that actually secure the tensioners to the block ( torx bolt on Electrical belt and 13mm bolt on air...

    Oil Filter washer on 4.4

    Hi All, the w/shop manual says to replace the washer(?) when renewing the filter. All the filters I have just supply a big o ring for the body. Does it mean the ribbed one on the spindle? This would seem to be the only seal that could possible make a difference as it seals the top of the filter...

    Hawkeye V5 / Faultmate - how to get more out of them

    Hi all, I've had a Hawkeye V5 for about a year now and though useful, I feel I should/ could be doing more with it. For instance - just ran the Motronic live data on the car..... and didn't understand most of what it was telling me! I've asked Bearmach if they have a more indepth guide to it...

    Pinking underload

    Hi All, got a problem that's just reared its ugly head - car ( 99 thor, 4.6) used to run fine - but now under load it produces a distinct pinking from the drivers side of the engine. The car does not overheat. Thought it was the exhaust manifold - but can't see any problems with that, no...

    Exhaust leaks on Drivers side manifold

    Hi All, The P38 (4.6) has been making a growing chuffing noise under load and so I'm going to get the exhaust manifold off and have a look. A spare that I have I've inspected and this post is just to see if anyone else has come across this. :confused: If you look up the manifold from the front...

    Brake change - pads and pistons

    Hi All, I wondered if any of you could answer the following: I've got to change the front discs on my L322 ( 02 ), having read the RAVE page I was surprised to see that to get the pistons back it suggests you crack the bleed nipple as you press the pistons back into the calipers. Would this just...

    Front Hubs

    Hi All, forgive me if this has been covered before, but I'm new to the forum..... Having just changed the CV gaiters on the front hubs I found no decent information in the w/s manual on when to torque up the hub bolts. Has anyone got any suggestions - I was thinking about fitting the wheel -...
