Intentionally just set the alarm off and the horn sounded!!
Scared the living tiddlywinks out of me!! The horn had never sounded before, just the hazards flashing. Nice to know he's fixed that bit himself without telling me

The Land Rover Gods smile upon thee, my son. Buy a lottery ticket, quick!
 
Got the LPG all back together, no leaks!! That's a start!!
Still getting random misfires on random multiple cylinders!!! Argh!!!
It's running fine on petrol and the gas injectors are definitely working, i think it could be spark related but I'm not sure where to go next.. wonder if it's plug gaps...

These are the bits I need, the part number @RangeRoller dt gave was for the complete assembly, these just clip on to the sill finishers then clip into the part that fits on the sill.as you can see in the photo the plastic jaws snap and they probably aren't available separately and I need 6.Anyone got a scraper or some hidden in a shed ? @Grrrrrr height sensor linkages available to swap Or cash..;):D

Today I set the air suspension back up on my P38. It had been driving me mad as it was just not right. Bad ride even though it sat right. The setting the EAS using a tape from wheel centre to wheel arch is no good as you have no way of knowing how much pressure is in the air bag. So the car always ends up feeling like it has a broken spring.
Solved this by making some calibration blocks. Using the blocks on just one axle at a time and taking the reading from sensors with body sat on the blocks gives 100% accurate reading. I recorded the readings and did the same for the other axle. Then imputed the new readings in to the EAS ECU and saved the readings. I did this for the different hight's.
The difference is remarkable the car drives nice and balanced and drive over the rough roads like it did when I first got it.
So then it was off to fill it up with fuel and find some bumpy roads:)

Blocks of the correct size is the way to go for ease.
Pressure in the bags is really a bit immaterial as a certain PSI will lift xx wt at any height. So don’t worry about PSI.
Fink you will find 60-65 will lift it to whatever height you want, unless you put a dead body in the back then it may need a few more PSI :).

Oh and Welcome:).

Thanks, I am not entirely new to the forum have been here a few times. I had a P38 HSE 4.6 on gas way back around 2003.
It was a dog of a thing. The liners had slipped and I ended up with gasket trouble. The LPG was problematic to start with as had not been fitted properly.
It was very tired old thing I was glad to see the back of it.
I now have a 2001 DT have been running it for 3 years no engine problems only some of the usual EAS issues. I bought it off a friend so I knew its background. He had it for years.
What I ment about the pressure is that if the sensors are not set just right it gives the same afect as having a brocken spring the car rocks about on the two highest air bags and gives a bad ride even though the car may sit right.

sensor settings can affect things. Pressure no.

One rocker shaft fully done and reassembled, worse one still to do. Forecast means that may be an achievement for the weekend as I don't see being outside with power tools on the menu!



Freezing the shaft for a while (stop sniggering at the back there) plus baking the support brackets at 140C for half an hour made it pretty painless. Started from the centre brackets out and it took only about 10 minutes to get it all together. Love the smell of hot oil in the kitchen!
