that may bugger me up then as i wont be trying to engineer that on to the iveco

i have one of them in my zil 131 it works fine untill you get into central london then all the tall buildings block the signal and you lose your speed display but hey the chances of speeding in central london are slim anyway lol

i might tr l might try and lift out the whole wiring loom and use it in its entirety i assume i can un plug all 4 door looms and it wont affect anything running wise, that way i can use the dash/brinicle and have it all working and yes collecting the interior from there would be pretty spendy...

iveco is cable drive at the moment but as i am fitting a completely different cab i can go anyway l like as i will have to biuld the dash board, i could go satnav type if all else fails not much use in a tunnel but we dont have any in the midlands lol

that sounds like it needs to happen lol

what sends the messages to the dash like bonnet open etc is that the bcem as l was thinking of using the instrument brinicle in the iveco so all the gauges work

i better buy some racking and start stacking the stuff on for resale then lol

not much i just looked on ebay lol, i might weld up some frames for the seats and have them in the workshop

and how much of a market is there for selling some of the bits i dont want on, the cream leather interior is in remarkable condition as is the wood on the dash board

one thing i noticed while poking around the P38 yesterday is that its sitting on coil springs was that an option or is this the work of a previous owner ? shame really i was looking forward to fiddling with or repurposing the air bags lol

it may well come to that , ive just sent off to the states for a rear housing for the autobox so the NP 208 will bolt straight up to it, it has its plus points its still in a 4 ton winibego parked in the yard the body is as rotten as a rotten thing why they make campers/caravans out of balsa...

i dont mind a big ass diesel but this P38 fell into my hands cheap and its in my workshop now, its not like its a daily driver so fuel consumption is not that much of a consideration. and im assuming the 4.6 through a auto box will have lots of torque to get things rolling and theres always low...

please do enlighten me, who makes an adapter plate ? i will consider all things till its bolted in the iveco thanks Andy

im not fussed whether is injected or carbs as long as it provides propulsion is good with me, the thing that l like with the range rover engine and box is the viscous transferbox, im keen to see how much better its going to be , its not really comparing apples with apples since my present truck...

right a bit of background into why im fiddling with this P38 engine, i have a camper a big 5th wheel Canadian one which ironically i got from the everglades seeing as its a winterpack one but hey ho thats irrelevant what is relevant is its weight its close to 5 tons with the tanks empty...

Hi yes using the autobox and transfer as it comes out of the P38, the tcu is next to investigate how its wired up once im happy with the ecu, i did start off wanting to use a classic 3.9 engine and autobox as its not electronically controlled and would have been easier but the transferbox...

i can see the sense in that, i will give it a go if i fail to get it running right i have carbs as a back up, it was cheap as it has been off the road for a couple of years so its a fun project, l also have a 350 chevy waiting in the wings in case this rover proves to be harder than it looks...

i can hardly turn the laptop on, i wouldn't know compatibility mode if it bit me, im an old fart, i wll ask a 12 year old im sure they will know

i see nothing wrong with carbs i have a 4.6 on su's it works just fine but the world moves on im sure manufactures dident move over to fuel injection because its worse than carbs but if i stay with carbs i learn nothing i did some bedtime reading lastnight and i see the ecu has lots more...

ive tried that a few times, it never works for me i just get error messages like "pdf failed to open" i will try and get someone else to download it and put it on a memory stick for me
