    P38 2.5 DSE Broken drive plate

    Ok, so downloaded Rave, but not fully opened yet, i will have to get my son to find a free version of Adobe Acrobat DC for me. Pulled the trans tonight, 2 hours and 15 minutes with a little help from Milwaukee and a bit of swearing. Drive plate is rooted, some damage to torque convertor, but i...

    P38 2.5 DSE Broken drive plate

    Sounds like a good deal to me. I tried to access Rave from wazzers drop box, but it won't run on my pc. Probably cos its a mac. Im happy to get a copy from Datatek at whatever cost. Plan is to pull transmission on wednesday night after work. Please send details Datatek and i will arrange the...

    P38 2.5 DSE Broken drive plate

    The idea of pulling the trans back and slotting in the drive plate is appealing but i have got to order the drive plate from the UK so i will pull out the trans and make sure there is no other damage before i go ahead as if there is other damage i may as well get all the parts at once. Is it...

    P38 2.5 DSE Broken drive plate

    Gidday, Back again with a new problem. Driving home the other day and the range started making a hell of a noise. I checked it out on the hoist and discovered a few bits and pieces in the bell housing. From what i can see it looks like the Flexy plate (drive plate) has given up the ghost. I have...

    P38 2.5 DSE No start

    Found the 80 amp fuse and its blown. It seems my glow plugs have been mickey moused around. The actual timer relay is not plugged in and is only there to supply the heavy wires to the relay via the blown fuse. Somebody has rewired the timer relay and fitted a universal glow plug timer with an...

    P38 2.5 DSE No start

    OK, so i have checked out the glow plug system and i am getting switched power to the glow plug timer, that is suppling switched power to the glow plug relay, but there is no power to the glow plug relay (the heavy current side). If i put a jumper lead across from the battery to the glow plug...

    P38 2.5 DSE No start

    Im not sure which one it is, i bought it when i bought the rangey and have only ever had to use it to fix suspension issues. From memory though, i think it is the extreme.

    P38 2.5 DSE No start

    Cheers Wammers, no fuel from fuel pump when glow plugs activated either. No message on dashboard. Does the loss of sync between ECM and BECM mean that fuel pump (in tank) receives no power? I read an earlier post that says the engine should still start even if the in tank pump is failed. How...

    P38 2.5 DSE No start

    Gidday, back again as i have another issue with my not so trusty Rangey. I lent the Rangey to the missus as her car was in the panel beaters. Murphys law suggests that when you lend things to other people they break down so the phone call from my better half stating that the car won't start was...

    P38A EAS Self levelling and other strange stuff

    Back after four days fishing and both the left hand air springs are still inflated but the right hand side is down to bump stops front and rear. The rear air springs are new so i doubt that the leak is from the air spring. I have ordered a few bits off of Ebay, but i won't get them for a couple...

    P38A EAS Self levelling and other strange stuff

    Not the pin inside, I have three valve blocks and on every one of them the centre solenoid, which i believe does the right front wheel has a rubber cap over the top of the solenoid. As its the same as all the other corner solenoid i just wondered why it has a cover. As another point i would like...

    P38A EAS Self levelling and other strange stuff

    So, I reconditioned the old valve block last night and found that the middle solenoid was seized to the shaft of the valve so I swapped with another one and refitted to vehicle. It now pumps up, but I can still see a few small air bubbles at one of the solenoids, leaking through where the wires...
