What’s those strips with a hole-tooth-hole tooth like a band? You crimp them around at desired length then cut off excess, similar idea to what’s on a P38 hub cv boot?
You drop tested your battery lately (post winter). Could be phantoms?

Not drop tested but it throws the engine over very well. Connected to a smart charger whilst nanoing too.
Took a while but i got there
Spend thriftI'll probably shove a penny in to wedge it.. can't rattle then
I know i know it's not a £500 range rover repair but it's not 'broke'.. just rattly
well i can't put a new one on as its crimped from the factory.. to be honest i really dont see what its there for.. maybe it needs to 'fall off' completelySpend thrift

Heat shield? So you don't set the dry grass on fire? Remember the new mini car iirc doing that years ago. Twas on the telly.
Not sure it's a heat shield.. at least.. why would you have it on just a few inches of pipe? this bit

Could it be replaced with heat wrap? Like you use on exhaust manifolds

It's an insulator to keep the heat in, stops the DPF cooling too quickly & therefore failing to regen. - As suggested, exhaust wrap (as I used to replace contaminated insulation on my exhaust crossover pipe) would be ideal for the job. There should be some insulation in there, if there isn't, then it's already broken up and drifted away.
Thanks! No insulation which is maybe why it rattles!! But no dpf either so maybe i don't care about it anymore
The P38A is modular so each computer works separately. Most systems are the same across diesel and petrol with the exception of the EMS and the HEVAC on the GEMS and even then I think the way the HEVAC communicates with diagnostics is the same.
No it's one i found on the internet.. i have the dpf unit, it's just empty
It was easier than trying to get a photo under the car still have all the sensors plugged in but they don't do anything

The HEVAC is different on the GEMS? Tell me more, I thought all HEVAC's in the P38 were the same apart from the aircon drive circuit and of course the manual no aircon version.
That's the part that is different. As far as I am aware the rest is the same but I may be wrong. Marty knows a lot more about HEVAC as he's had a lot more apart.
