I've always said that the L322 is a dainty girl with proportions that are just right. And been laughed at when I have said it. This photo proves the point. Those other things look like they have the face of a proboscis monkey π΅ππ€£
Oh and before...
Went to my local JLR today to collect the tow bar recall parts for the good lady's Discovery 4. Very pleased to see that A) they've finished the building work on the new showroom, but more importantly B) the parking spaces have actually been...
Thanks for the intel on the tank still being filled with a door open.... didn't know that. Makes sense though...
I will keep observing.First test drive yesterday went fine.
This morning, after parked on level surface last night, the truck still...
If the doors & tailgate are all closed, and the car is low, then the compressor is feeding the tank and any airbags that need to rise.
To fill the tank only a door or tailgate needs to be open.
Your compressor failure two weeks ago could either...
Understood, I think my original pump was around 8 minutes to fill the tank from empty with a door open for no interruption ? (correct me if I'm wrong) π€..
Hopefully you've suffered just a tired pumpπ
Nothing is dancing or was dancing... it acts exactly the way it did before the compressor failure.
In my eyes, EAS behaves perfectly. No dancing, no sagging, no weird states after power off.
Also, achieves any ride height immediately within...
All sorted, pretty easy TBH, the plastic latch piece on both had got gunked up with old grease, dirt and rust, a few squirts of brake cleaner and nice new lube. I didn't even need to remove the latches, both smooth as silk now and close and open...
After doing the chip replacement a while back on my spare HEVAC, got back on the HEVAC in the P38 again today. Replaced the 16-pin connector completely, and then tested all three motors using 9V battery & multimeter.
LH Blend pot goes from...
Thanks for the pointer. I've been out and picked up another used turbo, not got hands on with, but it won't be long I had a quote via a mate in the motor trade for a recon unit, but it doesn't include the actuator because they are no longer...
Thanks for that Brian, that's very useful. This actuator is quite heavy, it needs some leverage to get it to operate the wastegate. Given that the psi requirements aren't great, it probably isn't working correctly in use. Do you know how it would...
If the waste gate is stuck partially open it will certainly affect power. I doubt you need to replace the turbo, just find out if it's the actuator or the waste gate that is sticking. If it's the waste gate it can be freed off, if it's the...
You should be able to unbolt the actuator vacuum body of the turbo with it still attached the the waste gate arm then you will be able to see which bit is the restriction unfortunately its probably a turbo off job but then its easier to work on .
The waste gate or "bypass" as it's called in RAVE is pneumatically operated by turbo output pressure, in one place RAVE states it's vacuum operated, in another it implies pressure operated. Ether way, the vacuum unit is bolted to the turbo with...
Success!!!
New compressor is finally in. Had to wait forever for parts from Amazon... can't seem to find at any car parts store.
I basically used a coupler for now between the hose from the EAS box that was part of the old compressor, to the...
Well the car has been up on the ramp at the garage. Reckons the steering rack and track rods are fine!
The only movement they can find on the front is drivers control arm bush.. which is the only one I've not replaced so that's no surprise.
So...
I have to keep mine at motorway height for towing or the little trailer runs on 2 of it's 4 wheels. Likewise at standard height, the caravan is nose up, not good for stability.
Most likely burntπ€―
I draw the old oil out with a vacuum pump,
Refill, run the engine while steering left to right fully and continue like that until I'm happy with final color after draining and refilling repeatedly. π
Just checked, haven't got it anymore, I remember it caused issues with storage or memory or something on my phone as that's all I have. I'm pretty sure I downloaded it off one of the p38 Facebook groups so have a look under their files.
