A quick albeit unrelated query, on the rocker cover of my 1997 P38 there is a hole with a off set edge into which a braided pipe has been pushed, this goes into the turbo intake which spans the top of the engine cover. However other rocker covers I have seen, seem to have an aluminium pipe sitting at 90degrees into which the braided pipe seems to be attached. The braided pipe seems to be attached to a round jobby which I think I some sort of breather for the turbo. Sorry for the rambling post guys

Do you mean the breather valve?

Yes I think that is what it is. The braided pipe seems to have been shoved into the hole in the rocker cover, there is like a plastic flange that matches up to the off set edge of the rocker cover but it looks like a plastic securing tab has snapped so the pipe is quite loose fitting. Would this be responsible for the lack of power.

Wouldn't think so. Until I fitted mine properly I got oil all over
 
Good thinking mate I'll try that fix. It's just that whenever I fix something, it unearths another issue. I love my rangie but for a car that cost upwards of £40k new you would have thought LR would have put more effort into the design.

Come on how many Land Rovers have you owned?

I got 2 p38s and two vogues which I'm restoring but I'm very new to Range Rover ownership so that's why I joined the group to improve my knowledge.

You should be well experienced then Some very clever men designed Land Rovers BUT some not very clever men built them

The clever men design and the accounting department justifies then the monkey chuck spanners at each other sorry.. Then the monkeys build stuff they don't agree with.. Usually, that is the idea. :rolleyes:
