    Luton Airport Fire Report Blames 3 Litre Diesel Range Rover

    Bit of a coincidence for it to also now the off the road. I suspect it had a bump and wrapped as a part of the repair.

    Luton Airport Fire Report Blames 3 Litre Diesel Range Rover

    It falied an MOT in 2022 due to: Nearside Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a)) Offside Headlamp aim too high (4.1.2 (a)) So may have had a bit of a knock at some point.

    E10 EFL Apparently Although shows as gold and not red. Could be wrapped I suppose. It's MOT and TAX have expired. How naughty. It was a 4.4 V8 2016 Diesel

    P38A Corrosion on battery terminals

    So my positive battery terminal has been a constant source of corrosion. Where talking mounds of blue and white powered. I'd clean it off from time to time, but otherwise failed to do anything about it. Anyway, I now need to do somehting about it, as the car failed to start. Cleaning up the...

    P38A EV Conversion / Hybrid conversion - Pie in the sky thinking

    Not convinced by your maths. Hydrogen is 33 kWh/kg Petrol is 13 kWh/kg Let's assume the same thermal efficiency from the engine. My P38, on a really good run will achieve 20mpg (that may be optimistic). Which is 4.4 miles per litre. One litre of petrol is 0.74kg So about 6 miles per kg of...

    P38A EV Conversion / Hybrid conversion - Pie in the sky thinking

    I wouldn't count on it. You'd need a tank the size of your car.

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    If you want a cheap temporary solution then buy four 6mm Schrader valves, stick them on the four pipes that lead to the bags and inflate them to get the car rolling.

    P38A A couple of queries about rebuild EAS valve block

    Just cleaning off the crud now, it feels like body filler that doesn't have any hardener in it. So I'm guessing some sort of sealant. Going to clean it all off and start again. If it's compromised in anyway, I'll start with another block.

    P38A A couple of queries about rebuild EAS valve block

    That diagram is great. Lips on the tank outlet port (6, but looks like an 8), blowing hard, with my finger on the covering the pressure switch hole (12), I can hear air coming out of the dryer inlet port (5, but looks like a 6), so NRV-1 must be leaking. Looking forward to seeing why it's...

    P38A A couple of queries about rebuild EAS valve block

    I'm in South London so not convenient. I'll remove the pressure relief valve tonight and see what things look like. With the pipes, I'd rather avoid adding any new points of failure. I've read that the plastic push units don't like the exhaust headers being so close.

    P38A A couple of queries about rebuild EAS valve block

    I'm just about to re-build my EAS valve block. A couple of queries however that came to mind as I was removing it form the car and wouldn't mind getting a second opinion on. First, I'm rebuilding it as my tank slowly looses pressure (circa 2 psi per hour) and it;s not from the tank or the line...

    P38A Adding a valve to manually fill EAS tank and why did my pump fail again?

    I fitted a Schrader valve to the pipe to the tank, filled the tank, left it 24 hours and it only lost about 3 psi. Since the garage compressor is filling it with warm air, 3 psi sounds like the pipe and tanks are not the issue. So I'm going to skip the pin hole check on the tank. So that just...

    P38A Adding a valve to manually fill EAS tank and why did my pump fail again?

    I did some testing today, with a T and a Schrader valve on the 6mm pipe direct to the tank. I filled it to 110psi and I was able to raise it straight to the high setting with no fuss. Left a door open, and measured all four corners and let it sit for 4.5 hours. Front and Rear passenger side =...

    P38A Adding a valve to manually fill EAS tank and why did my pump fail again?

    I think I've blown my EAS pump again. Repaired it about 6 months ago, and EAS worked perfectly, but today it refuses to raise. It was working perfectly the other day, and I drove with the tailgate open. EAS was therefore disabled. About 15 minutes into the journey EAS fault message pops up...

    Range Rover Hybrid - replace batteries with alternator?

    What shocked me (that pun really wasn't intended, but I'm leaving it) was how little current it takes to kill someone. Between 0.1amps and 0.2amps. I'm glad we have a fairly high internal resistance otherwise a toy car with 4xAA batteries could easily be deadly. I don't know if it stands up to...

    P38A Steering wheel decals

    I bought a second hand wheel as I wanted an upgrade so all being done off the car. Already stripped the buttons down. Just waiting for a warm before before shooting 2k clear on it.

    P38A Steering wheel decals

    I'll be doing mine soon. One of the things he says in the video is to lacquer the plastic after putting the decals on. How you would deal with the overspray I have no idea if it's in the car. Without lacquer they will surely just peel off from use and friction. What I don't understand is how...

    P38A What are the plastic lugs on the back of the steering wheel for?

    Last option is to just make one, but what I'll probably do is cut it off the old wheel. That way I can cut off a big chunk of the plastic surround to increase the contact area for gluing.
