    Back again, L322 this time, advice please.

    Hello again forum, it's been 9 months since I've been Range Rover'less and after regretting the sale of my faultless P38 I'm looking at getting a L322 for lane work and general workhorse stuff. The problem I have is that I'm short on time so I'm not able to spend weeks researching which model...

    p38 2.5 diesel noisy tappets

    Thinner oil an option? Mine's got better after a flush and additive but not as quiet as I'd like, I'm soon to flush one more time and possibly try a thinner oil, just not sure how thin to go.

    P38 or L322?

    Next month I'll probably be flipping a coin between a L322 and a Cayenne, that's not to say I'll be letting go of my P38,as a 2.5k utility vehicle I don't think I could ask for more.

    P38 2.5 Plug Relay Faulty?

    Bang on the money again Data,cheers. I changed the Britpart plugs for a set of Delphi and on the first starting attempt it fired up instantly :D I've been told the plugs don't get hot enough,even enough,quick enough. When I told this to the seller he said he'd sold thousands of these plugs...

    P38 2.5 Plug Relay Faulty?

    Tested the voltage from the relay to the plugs and I'm getting 10.5 volts ,my battery is reading 12.5v. Is 10.5 volts low enough to cause my starting problem?

    P38 2.5 Plug Relay Faulty?

    My glow plug light stays on for 7 seconds as it always has and this morning it wouldn't start until the third attempt so the problem is getting worse. I replaced the leak off pipes some months ago and there's no air in my feed pipe. I guess now I need to test the voltage going to the plugs so...

    Recently had a problem with my glow plugs with 2 weeks of difficult starting,after fitting 6 new plugs (Britpart) my starting problem has now changed. When I start from cold it doesn't fire at all no matter how long I turn the engine,it's like the plug relay is asleep because if I reset the...

    So because my engine was running and I got the click this would mean my compressor is ok?

    Aircon compressor testing

    Tested my aircon compressor today or at least attempted to as my aircon is not working. Gave it a direct feed from the battery and all it did was 'click' ,it didn't come to life at all other than the relay sound,does this point the finger towards or away from the compressor and where should my...

    'New' P38 preventative maintenance

    Regular oil changes with a good quality oil is all I'd of asked of the previous keeper of my P38,that way my engine would now sound a lot less tappety I think,oh yeah and don't let the valeters wipe the life out of the steering wheel,I don't like pressing buttons to see what they do because the...

    Cold Starting

    I was losing a little oil and coolant as well as the cooling system pressurising,it was difficult to start at all times,the bubbling at the base of the injector got worse as did the pressure in the system so I decided to take it off the road.

    Cold Starting

    I know it's an unusual place for a head to go and I've never heard of any going the same way but mine certainly did,the only person who pulled my leg was the regrettable weasel that I purchased it from,I sold it to a friend who bought another head before taking the old one off and another friend...

    How you came to own a RR

    My woman knows that my P38 and her P45 are closely related if she decides to kick off,as long as I don't spend more time servicing my toys than I do servicing her she remains quite well balanced. I picked up a 99 DSE last month for £2700,120k in above average/clean condition all round,2000 miles...

    P38 Underbody protection ?

    Fabrication of the parts is not something I'd like to get involved with,I've just found fronts and rears on ebay,£45 and £55. Do you think I get away with just guarding my diffs providing I don't ask too much of the vehicle? Landrover Range rover P38 diff guard front BA3134 | eBay
