    Transfer box swap over tips needed with what i have

    I did it in my neighbour's garage with a 4 post lift and all the kit. I still needed an extra pair of hands as it is really heavy and doesn't balance well! I really would not try this on your drive with jacks etc....

    l.p.g. problems

    Mozz I have a 2000 model Vogue 4.6 with the Zavoli LPG on it. I also have a Panasonic Toughbook with the LPG diagnostic software and cables on. The software is very good at re-calibrating the LPG system, but it can also aid with fault finding (I haven't had any faults yet - touch wood!) I...

    Lpg to do or not to do ?

    I use a P38 for my daily drive of 52 miles. I bought it with the conversion done already and it has been excellent, LPG is currently a low as 45p up here at the moment. I have a Turner engine in mine that has had their liners fitted, I have done 30,000 miles since the engine was replaced and it...

    P38 rear seats

    I found some on eBay a couple of years ago, bought them for a bargain price, and when they arrived, there were no seat belts. They were there in the photograph, but the seller said they weren't included in the sale and he didn't have them!!! After a few emails back and forth with an absolute...

    new to the forum

    I have tried a couple of alternative diagnostic systems, but settled on the Black Box Solutions Nanocom. It really is the best. Don't waste any time or money on the others, just go for the Nanocom when funds allow......

    Defender Purchase Advice

    Hi all, you will see from my signature that I am a P38 owner, but I have owned a series vehicle in the past. I would like to buy a defender, preferably a 90 although a 110 isn't out of the frame. I like V8 engines and would consider one that has already been LPG converted but will probably...

    Front prop shaft UJ problem

    My front prop shaft came apart on the motorway last year. I put the suspension in wading mode, opened the tailgate to disable the EAS. Put the car jack under the chassis. I then got underneath removed the front prop shaft completely. I was able to drive home without a problem, but I did take it...

    EAS Trouble

    I replaced the rear end airlines this morning, three in total. One goes to each rear air spring and the third goes to the reservoir tank. After two hours, no movement, car is still level. I think I have cracked it with some great advice on here. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.

    Traction Fault

    OK, - Update I replaced the front left sensor this morning, hooked up my Nanocom, cleared the faults and went for a drive. No faults, beeps or errors, all back to normal now.

    Vibration up hill or on acceleration

    It seems that no-one else is coming up with a definitive answer, but making suggestions to you. It isn't hard to check the UJs, and it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that this could be the issue. You don't need to take my advice, but it is easy to rule out the UJs with a quick look...

    Vibration up hill or on acceleration

    Have you checked the UJs on the front prop shaft? In particular, the one that meets the front diff!

    EAS Trouble

    I pulled the timer relay out before the weekend and by Sunday evening, the back n/s corner was right down to the bump stop. This suggests that I have a leak somewhere in the line between the valve block and the air spring. There are no leaks where the pipe goes into the airspring, or to the...

    Traction Fault

    I have replaced the ABS ECU now, and the wheel sensors are all registering a voltage and a wheel speed when moving. However, the front left sensor is still registering a fault - shorting at least 6 time according to Nanocom. I'm going to swap the front left sensor again this weekend to rule...

    EAS Trouble

    I'll get a new air dryer anyway, as I didn't have any 'O' rings of the right size. The 'O' rings in my air dryer are an orange/red colour, think I read somewhere that these are not good 'O' rings!

    EAS Trouble

    Before I pull the relay, I decided to check round with a spray bottle of soapy water. Sprayed the tops of the rear airbags, no leaks. Sprayed the pipes that join the block, no leaks. Sprayed the pipes that go into the air dryer and out of it - bubbles coming from the top junction ...

    EAS giving problems...

    I found that I could't communicate properly with the EAS ECU last year. I took the OBD port out and found that it was corroded from a drip that was coming from blocked A/C drains. I went to a scrap yard and found a couple of newish accident damaged cars and cut out the OBD ports. When I got...

    EAS Trouble

    Ah, so if I pull the relay, that disables the block? So if it still goes down, then I have an air leak somewhere between the block and the bags? I'll try that then. I was very careful when fitting the airbags and only allowed the system to fill when the weight was enough to prevent the bags...

    EAS Trouble

    My RR was having trouble levelling itself and was taking time to come up to height each morning. I have replaced the compressor with a brand new one as I knew that was "lazy" I have replaced the airbags as they were quite old. Two of the height sensors were giving "out of range" readings...
