I got 2 p38s and two vogues which I'm restoring but I'm very new to Range Rover ownership so that's why I joined the group to improve my knowledge.

Good thinking mate I'll try that fix. It's just that whenever I fix something, it unearths another issue. I love my rangie but for a car that cost upwards of £40k new you would have thought LR would have put more effort into the design.

How exactly does it fit pls

Yes I think that is what it is. The braided pipe seems to have been shoved into the hole in the rocker cover, there is like a plastic flange that matches up to the off set edge of the rocker cover but it looks like a plastic securing tab has snapped so the pipe is quite loose fitting. Would this...

A quick albeit unrelated query, on the rocker cover of my 1997 P38 there is a hole with a off set edge into which a braided pipe has been pushed, this goes into the turbo intake which spans the top of the engine cover. However other rocker covers I have seen, seem to have an aluminium pipe...

Cheers guys, I've just ordered a new viscous fan and coupling from maltings at doncaster should be getting it Monday , will let you know how it goes.

I will even check the egr housing and clean out any crud, being a turbo diesel engine it could be full of sooty deposits which could inhibit the power.

I think the viscous fan is ok as it comes on when I turn the engine on but I don't hear it kicking in when the engine starts to overheat

Thanks I will look this weekend

Well I'm going to drain the rad today, see what crap comes out, check the map sensor pipe is connected and give the air temperature sensor a clean and see if it solves the problem.

I just bought a yuasa battery from bullseye motorist discount near me for my l322 for about £128.00 comes with 3yrs guarantee.

I've just bought a new thermostat which I'm going to fit this weekend hopefully see if that cures it. The lack of power I originally thought was the brakes binding as it shows abs fault on start up as brake pedal is rock hard underfoot. I put a new abs relay in the fusebox but the fault still...

Would the temperature sensor have any bearing on the thermostat operation? Reason I'm asking is mine overheats under load but temp stays slightly cooler when idling

Sounds exactly like the probs I've been having with mine Guy. Looks like we've both got same car, mines a 97 turbo diesel I've spent bloody ages looking for a non existent MAF sensor.

Cheers pal, not had my P38 long, didn't come with handbook but this forum is brill

What's a fip

I have a 2004 vogue SE 4.4 I got around 6 weeks ago it cost me £975 to insure. I picked up a 1998 P38 dhse today same insurer and they wanted £1789. Suffice to say confused .com

It is I believe a 2.5 turbo diesel I just bought on ebay
