Hi all. I know this should be a stupid question, but the UJs (or UJ, as I'm only on my first one!) are/is doing my head in :D I'm using both Busterbus's and Mad Hat Man's 'How tos'. The problem is, I just can't seem to get the caps squeezed together enough to get the second circlip in...

Hi All, Should be a quick one this, which way round do the front propshaft bolts go (2000 4.6)? Rave clearly says that the heads should point towards the transfer box and away from the diff, however, the pic accompanying those words shows heads pointing away from the diff AND away from the...

Hi All, Just changed the FL height sensor on my 2000 4.6. I understand that from 97MY on they can be swapped from side to side, but I'm struggling to calibrate it due to some dodgy readings. I have blocks for standard height, so she's currently sitting on those (double checked with...

Hiya, I've finally gotten around to doing my camshaft, and currently putting new rocker assemblies together, but I'm struggling to get the 'bolt towers' (dunno what they're properly called!) off the old shaft, and nearly impossible to get onto the new shaft. Are they supposed to be that...

Hi All, Put in orders yesterday for: Camshaft kit (Piper cams, chain, lifters etc) Pushrods Rocker shafts Water pump UJs Ball joints (front hubs) Plus service stuff for engine and gearbox. This is all so I can get shot of the constant ticking noise from the engine, figured while I had it...

Hi guys, Looking for some advice on my brothers 2000MY (x reg) td5 D2 (approx 180,000 miles). I don't know the D2 too well (got enough on my plate keeping the P38 running!!) and my brother isn't too mechanically minded! Basically, he was driving back from Wales last week when it decided it...

Hi All, I've managed to get SWMBO to agree to a replacement cam, pushrods, rockers etc. plus anciliaries :D However, I need to get the inlet off to inspect before I'm able to order the parts. Not normally a problem, except I've got LPG and I've never dismantled one before :eek: I'm...

Hi all. Looking for some advise on a new noise :) Couple of months ago my rangie (MY2000 4.6 Thor with multipoint LPG) started making noises which I first thought to be a sticky tappet. As it was due a service I didn't worry too much and waited to see what it would be like after an oil...

Hi All, Just a quick question on the explanation of fault code. Done a search, and have found lists of them, but the description seems to be the same as I get from the faultmate. 2000MY v8 on lpg. She's been running a bit rough, and I suspected MAF as similar symptoms that I had a...

Hi All, I took my glove box out about a year ago when I was originally trying to get the diagnostic socket to work. I couldn't get it back in at the time, but didn't worry about it because I had to do the blend motors. I've finally got around to doing the blends, and am now trying to put...

Hi All, Currently fitting new front axle to my 2000 4.6v8. The new axle seems to have a different breather fitting to the old one. The old one has a banjo union (also shown in Rave and the workshop manual I have) but it looks like the new one is more like an air line join (although I...

Hi All, Think I know the answer to this one, but can I get a confirmation before spending more..... How tight should the ball joints on the track rod ends be? I can move mine easily by hand, which I don't think is a good sign :) (track rod is currently off the vehicle while replacing the...

Hi Can anyone transport a (brand new, squeaky clean) front axle from North Wales to Brighton (or anywhere in between that could help!). Cheers marc

Hi All, need to do the lower swivel hub ball joints on mine (MOT advisory but really a bit knackered :) - I've got a nice MOT'er). I'm scrubbing the front nearside tyre quite quickly, but figured I'd better do these before getting the alignment done. (was hoping to wait til summer to do the...

Hi All, As its getting darker, and the ijits with HIDs are out in force, I thought I'd better have a look to see why my autodim mirror wasn't doing anything. I've read a few threads about them leaking their internals, but mine hadn't done that in the last year while I'd had it. I pulled the...

Hi All, I bought a P38 about a year ago, an X reg (2000) 4.6. I’ve sorted a few niggles with her over the year, but after a number of occasions being a bit slow to come up in the mornings and an unsightly trip back from work on the back of an AA lorry, I thought I’d better give the EAS...

Hi All, I bought a 4.6V8 P38 (with LPG conversion - I'm not that rich!!) about a year ago having been around Landys all my life - I learnt to drive in a Series3 LWB round the fields :D I've sorted a few niggles with the rangie, but have now come against a problem with the EAS (Yeah, I...
