well i am going to have to pull the heads off my p38a 4.6 but looking at it can someone tell me which is easiest . 1 unbolt the downpipe/ manifold joints ? 2 remove the manifolds from the head in situ ( ive read on here some horror stories ) the fact that i will be doing the job outside my...

wot a load of bloody tosh mate :confused: :confused: :confused:

well after months of trouble free running my 97 4.6 overheated yesterday on a long 3 mile climb on a moorland road , i was about 30 miles from home but i let it cool and topped up the coolant from the container i always carry in the boot , i then finished my journey without problem . this...

spot on mate , landrover probably spent millions in research and develpment to get the ride hieght at the optimum level , by fitting larger wheels/tyres there are bound to be fouling issues so why waste your money having it lowered :confused: . if you want to drive a car with your arse 1" from...

rangerover cruise control system seems to be a pain in the ar*e , never owned one yet that worked perfect , my 97 4.6 will work great one day then just do sod all for the next couple of weeks :confused: initially i found a couple of dodgey vac pipes these where replaced and i thought great its...

sounds about right to me my 4.6 hse @ 70mph = 2600rpm if this is any help. rick.

not 100% sure but it may need to go on test book or similar to tell the becm that it has one fitted .

i own a 97 my with 160000 on the clock and i wouldnt think twice about it , its 100% reliable. rick.

ive been reading through these posts and you guys are having real problems with your p38 r/f receivers , ive never had a problem with my 97my , dont know whether or not its been changed already , i can leave mine for 2/3 week between useing it and it still starts as if i just switched it off ...

hello mate , everyone has they`re own veiws on whats best , mine is go fr a 4.6 on lpg , but best advice i can pass to you is take along someone who knows the marque inside out , even if it costs you it will be money well spent at the end of the day believe me , there are a lot of dogs out there...

i think you may find that incorrect mate i have replaced both rear hieght sensors ( one at a time , ignition off and tailgate open ) and didnt need to do anything . rick. p.s also its so easy even my granny could change em , 2 x 6m/m mounting screws and 1 x 6m/m ball joint nut undo wiring...

i totally agree with alan a lpg powered v8 auto is the way to go , forget the oil burners towing your horse trailer with two nags on board would be donkey work ( lol pardon the pun :) ) for a diesel but , v8 would make for a much more relaxed drive , one word of warning though if you decide on...

surely theres a defender guru on here knows . rick.

hi thanks for the reply but i already checked there , on the late models they must have stuck it some place else. rick.

hi could anyone tell me where the flasher unit is located on a 06 plate defender 90 any help would be greatly appreciated cheers. rick.

spot on mate the eas isnt sh*t , its more likely muppet garage`s playing with something they know sod all about :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: . rick.

hello again mate i had the same problem with mine a couple of months ago, i overhauled the compressor which improved things a little but it still seemed to be running more than it should , in the end i bought a new compressor and that sorted it right away. rick.

bump :) surely someones done em :D

hello fella`s has anyone changed the hockey stick bushe`s on the front axle , i done loads on the classics but never a p38 , just wondered what sort of job it is before i start cheers. rick.
