i have done a search but, was incapable of finding what I'm after. Has anyone welded new body mounts to a classic? More to it than it looks? Or just as horrible as it looks with waxoyl for good measure?

ok thank you, will have some further investigations

Anyone get to the bottom of this? Mine has always taken 2 pre-heats, new plugs (NGK) no difference, new fuel filter, no difference, no bubbles in clear fuel line check done, all fine. It has a terrible hot start problem as well, this got better with the new fuel filter (less cranks, still...

There is about 8" of Flexi, part of the down pipe. (Mines an auto) think that makes the difference. I think you are right, go for that first, get the obvious out the way.

I know there is a lot about crappy fuel pumps. Mine was starting fine when hot until she sprang a leak in an injector pipe, repaired and now hot starts like every old crappy pump. Also new and increasing hole in exhaust flexi. Related?

Central locking control unit a common problem? Doesent appear to be a fuse for central locking as a whole, all fuses are intact.

Sorry yeah p38. Managed to short the tailgate open now. Can unlock the drivers door now, seems the latch was just stuck needed me pulling/pushing the lock inside whilst the key was being turned outside to get that to work. Central locking just won't move now and obviously still key code lock...

dead lock and mechanical door lock broken. Car has deadlocked itself. Positive on Battery was loose, I tightened it the. The car deadlocked when it connected. I tried the door and the bar in the lock has fallen out so no manual opening, push button on key useless. AA man here, you can't pull...

Yeah sorry, I hadn't actually had the engine in there/driven the car long enough to try hot start properly. Will check the above, thanks.

Sorry meant to add that hot start isn't good. Fine if started within 30 seconds of ignition off. Any longer and it cranks for ages and starts with a dab of throttle.

Right, new glow plugs in. No difference sadly, I know the glow plugs are working as I tested them. So therefore I beleieve the relay is working too. I'm thinking injection pump timing? Anyone agree?

Ok well, I will put some in and see what happens. Thanks.

ok will check them. to make a short story long. i had the engine replaced with a "good condition" fleabay 90k one. obviously this means nothing. it turned up and according to my trusty lads in the garage the sump was on the wrong way along with the oil pick up suggesting that it could have been...

Roger that, thanks.

Blend motors? Any help

Is there such thing as a cold start fix unit? My diesel runs and starts fine when hot, but has serious fueling (I suspect) issues when cold started. Runs like a single cylinder lister traction engine.

Hi all. Have a 2001 P38 with Diesel BMW engine. I was told it's not the original engine. And it has an ally manifold so that would explain that. Anyway that's gone bang, head pressure tested and failed. So I want to know if they would have modified it to get the older style engine in? And...

In good condition with manual gearbox and auxiliaries. Ready to pop into a defender.

just picked up a supercharged sport. 2006 model. hopefully i'm being stupid, but i cannot find any air con. was a/c optional on these? never even crossed my mind when buying! - definitely stupid

Looking at various 2004, 2005, 2006. Range rovers around the £6/7k mark. This obviously isn't much to spend on a rangie, looking for close to 100,000 miles. What kind of things do you need to look for? Or in reality are there no end of problems?
