Spray a bit of oil in the ignition barrel whilst pushing the middle. Simpelz.

I would love a Landy but there just not versatile. They do the rough stuff but the thought of a long drive in one gives me backache just imagining it. I curse the fact there so limited as apart from that I'd have one in a flash( and the price of course) I liken It to the xjs that's the same. Not...

We have one called Jim hallams near us. Incredible prices pumas seem to be the daftest. Followed by td5s. Someone's making a right killing somewhere. I'm actually thankful p38s are practically valueless! I curse the price of used parts these days as they seem out of step with the value esp with...

As a p38 owner I'm constantly stunned by the prices for land rovers ( defenders) just looked at the simmonites site on the bay. That market is beyond buoyant.its bloody hot air balloon. £9000 for a 4l v8 with nearly 100000 miles? 20,30,40 grand bs special editions. Wtf is that all about can...

Spigot rings are a real basic. I drove with one missing once( changed wheels around) it was undrivable. May I suggest a break down on all suspension bushes changed. Radius arm bushes often cause these issues. Also ball joints. Often neglected but cause havoc.

Its a v8 mate.After much searching I've found my leak. It's from the intake manifold right at the back. It doesn't happen till 15psi. I'm guessing there's a mismatch between the angles on the head/manifold .The rubberised gasket must take up some space but higher pressure leads to leaks. I did...

I wouldn't worry about it cat c and d mean the insurance company are looking after there ey often don't cost any more finance NOT the vehicles dodgy. Think about the new cost of any range l322 body panel plus quality paint bang cat d. Bit of bodywork and straightening bish cat c. Yes they have a...

Egr valves can be troublesome on diesels getting clogged up with carbon sometimes they stick open ( or closed). When they stick open the turbo won't spool up because of pressure leak. When they stick shut the cel light comes on. The cause is often subtle from short journeys poor diesel slightly...

Just for reference I've been using 15 psi pressure is that ok with these?

Yes sorry p38 4.6 gems

Bin loosing a bit of coolant lately and very annoyingly. Anyway I thought Id put on a hot pressure test. Found one leak on an inaccessible hose. Sorted. Another one was very difficult to see but resulted in coolant heavily dripping off the bellhousing. Now to be fair it's bloody tricky to see...

Blimey not much action on your thread duncs! Jb

Any auto gearbox specialist should work on this old zf box TBH. Phone around and check.

Gems cam sensors can be extremely troublesome. If they short internally or on the wires you are buggered. It blows the ECU as soon as the keys turned. It leads to massive overfueling thus black smoke very bad running etc. Just unplug it and the engine should still run ok. It's difficult to...

Wow that's a byatch! Are your plug leads right? Coil packs working ok. Maf sensor working well( swap for a good un) fuel pressure, injectors ok. Some clever diagnostic work required here. Jb

Passenger side under Neath the glove box.

Pass? I darent use things like that super locking.everyone knows it angers the p38 god beckem. Jb

Could be the other prop? Transfer chain loose?

Strange mines a 97 hse 4.6 and I've just disconnected the battery for years reconnected and it's bin fine. Reset all the bilge...fine. sunroof has to go the full Monty. Slide back forward then vent then closed finger on button...set. look for the slide stopping it going right back.

12 point splined. Can't remember the exact size. 13 or 15 I think. I hate off and near as it really confuses me. So the driver's side(UK) head is considerably trickier than the passenger side head because of the need to remove the steering intermediate column to access the manifold bolts at the...
