That was interesting. Thanks for sharing it. Looks like fully clockwise should be Hi then. The shift cam assembly makes sense, I wondered what was happening inside. On mine it seems to be really free movement through a lot of the range, then in the last part of the movement there is some...

Hi Yes I have read that a few times. But I will read it again and hope that a tiny gem of info comes to me enough to pop a light on in my head. Cheers

The spindle on the TB turns, but as it is an awkward shape you need to use pliers or something to get a grip on it. I then cunningly decided to use the old spindle and gear from the original motor and slip it onto the spindle, that way your fingers have a much better mechanical advantage on the...

Hi Yes it's in lo. Whines when driving and not able to go above 30. Diags tell me Lo too. I need to know where Hi is, the mark I put on the motor seems impossible to move the TB spindle to.

OK I am stumped. I could really do with some help if anybody at all can please? I have no idea what to do and I am close to giving up now after a few weeks of no progress. Second-hand motor seems to do very little, so I assume it could be faulty. All I get from it as it changes from Lo to Hi...

Restarted here as this one seems dead. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/stuck-in-low-range-again.380827/#post-5400909

I have seen the switch positions and what they relate to, but what position does the actual TB shaft need to be in to start with? Where is High when looking at the selector on the TB? It seems to matter as if you get it on wrong and the motor spins up to put it into what the ECU believes is the...

Hi I tried putting a fuse in F11, Transfer neutral came up as expected, then I selected netral and moved to high range, lots of beeps and Select neutal was back. Tried again removing F11, all exactly the same. I suspect a bad motor. It was sluggish when powered up directly off of a battery. It...

Hi I originally posted this problem quite a while ago, then the issue came up again. So I updated the original thread and only just noticed it is not listed as new, recent or unread. I thought it best to post it again here and ref the old thread too so it ties in. Most recent post on the...

Thread resurrection. Oh well, it lasted about 3-4 years. Started getting the Select Neutral message again, more and more frequently. Then permanently. Taken the motor off and found this in the pic. Is it broken? I thought the little brown lump was grease at first. It's the same colour as the...

Ok it was dirty and corroded contacts in the socket. a gentle rub over with a fine needle file and sprayed out with electrical contact cleaner and all is ok, except for reverse. Will look at that more. Cheers all.

The trailer is fairly new and a hired one. It was ok last week apparently and I borrowed a light board to plug into the P38 and it did the same. Do you know where the earth is bolted to the chassis? Is it on the rear lights? I have seen something mentioning RHS. Thanks

Hi All I attached a hired trailer to my 1996 Gems P38 and all is ok except the trailer lights are behaving oddly. Standard old style LR wiring on the original socket. Using a 7-13 pin adaptor as the trailer is newer. When the hazard lights are on all lights at the rear flash. Braking seems to...

This is an early one from1996, so it makes sense to run direct from the alternator to the battery. I could not work out at all why they ran it down to the starter, then back up to the battery. Cheers

Looking at the wires on it, the thin one is D+, which I guess is AKA the lamp wire. So I am not referring to that one. The main B+ then, which is actually a smaller gauge than the main battery cables. It's original, so I wonder why it's smaller..... Sounds like I need to get under there and...

Wait, in terms of D+, you are not referring to the tiny thin brown wire running off of the alternator into the same part of the loom are you? There are 2 wires on mine. 1 x Thick red (slightly charred) but thinner (guess 30% of the diameter) than the main battery B+ cable; and 1 x thin brown wire.

Thanks for your help so far. Appreciated. It may be D+ but if you look at the other diagram below it mentions B+. Both refer to connector Z106. I guess the smaller wire is between the starter solenoid and the alternator, but it's not clear, almost contradictory.

There are 2 heavy gauge cables from the battery terminal. 1 to the fusebox, the other seems to go down to the starter/solenoid. The cable from the alternator is a smaller gauge and disappears into trunking towards the fusebox. I will grab a couple of metres of cable to replace that, should be...

Thanks, but the problem is surely that means replacing the engine wiring loom as it is all 1 item.

Hi All GEMS 4.6 with original Magneti Marelli alternator but new rectifier/regulator. Been running fine for a very long time. My car conked out while driving but first threw a load of errors like it was a flat battery. It seems the main red B+ power cable on the alternator was slightly burnt...
