Hi all first thread, just like to post this to see if this helps anyone out or if it has been covered before im sorry,

Just bought my brothers beautiful range rover p38 with the L322 conversion to the body, it looks amazing, but he left it standing and of course the battery completely died, thus causing major problems i.e when i fitted a new battery the becm did not recognise the key so it went into complete secure lock down, couldnt even get into it with the key in the door, so you will laugh but taped the key to a broom handle and popped out the rear quarter window and pain stakingly managed to get the key in the ignition and turned it to then get a bent bit of copper pipe onto the window switch to get the window doen to get in, then quickly found out once you shut the door again the door wont open again so i removed the latch catch from the chassis so i wouldnt lock my self out again, i got the eka code from landrover and tried entering the code through the drivers door handle key entry palava but never worked and kept getting the secure lock out message on dash so you have to wait 30mins before trying again, FUMIN

so what im saying is, if you cant do your eka code there are people out there that can link directly to your becm or ecu and input the eka code directly thus getting you back up and running and it cost me less than a £100

Mansfield motors in manningtree did mine

Mine is a 1996 hse 4.6 v8 p38
 
It does sound like you've got a problem with the drivers door lock.

The key should open the drivers door no matter what, even with the battery disconnected, it's a mechanical link, not an electrical one.
 
Unscrewed the front grille and pulled both bonnet release catches, as soon as the new battery was fitted dash said lock out.

Tried everything and only when the drivers windiw was open i was able to lift the door lock knob up and finally door opened,

I do think land rover are well over the top with the eka security and amount of brains ecu's and becm b/s, considering i had the rear quarter window out without breaking it in 2 mins then a hour later was towing it away.

I'd start a new thread. @MrGorsky or @Saint.V8 or @martynv8 might know. Where does the sludge come from? Impure gas leaving oil behind?
 
I've never done mine. I do have disposable filters after the vap, but before the injectors though.

The hex in the middle of the vap is probably to adjust the gas pressure in the gas fuel rail. I'd leave it alone. We'd need to know the make and model of the vap to be sure though.

Also, this is a good resource for LPG...

They know more about LPG on there, than we do on here.
 
I think dear domino is thinking that its looking a touch under pigeon... But to be fair for a P38 L322 hybrid it doesnt look to bad, have you got any more pictures?
