Check the pump first. Easy enough to do you only need a couple of spanners and willing finger.

If for p38 motronics then no. I think you have to order the keys from a LR dealer

If it's a wheeler dealers car it will be nothing more than a fluid and filter change on the box. In reality it will be a FUBAR boxed

My pump was still working well kind of. When I checked the pump output pressure was low. Stripped the pump and the piston seal was hanging. Easy enough to repair with an ebay kit. I went a bit OOT and changed the barrel as well but that's just me.

Nope never heard of them but then I tend to fix my own bits and normally just shop for bits on line. As for it being repairable that really depends on the model of alternator.

You've probably twisted the terminal on the alternator and snapped the connection. I did it many moons ago in a previous life as a spotty teenager.

I maybe wrong but wasn't the cps on the later thor engines not driven from the fly wheel

Looking good. Keep us updated on your adventures

Ahh. In my ignorance I hadn't given that a thought. I guess it would be best for OP to talk to Colin.

Then check this thread. The Nanocom evo does it and your get 25% off which makes it a right bargain at the mo. Also we get another Poppy instalment (your work that out as you flick through the thread) http://http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/nanocom-evolution-239196.html

A lot comes down to preference. I say the nano is very good, some say hawkeye. Lynx is becoming popular.

BBS Nanocom evo, hawkeye or LR testbook. Thats about it. If you've serious about keeping and working on a P38

I'm fairly local but I think your car is a Gems engine. My Nanocom is set up for diesels and thor engines. I fear you won't get it running again without plugging it in.

Have a look at what the O2's are doing. May give you an indication of what is happening, Also the Nano has a misfire counter. May help to show if it's general misfire or across all 8 cylinders.

Well Im glad I made you smile but Im sorry to hear the RR has decided to go "out to lunch" I take it you wont bother fixing? However that will really kill the value. A P38 with a dodgy MOTAH isnt going to be worth much

Is that a tonkaniese cat?

Well done....... Now go get me dinner ready I need you to fix the leaking pollen filter covers on mine once you've cleaned up!!!!!!!! :p:p:p (note: this is a very tongue in cheek comment which nobody needs to take seriously or in fact even read)

a fiver, packet of roll up, two pats of the dog's head and a reach around. Ok ok a two handed reach around.

Aye. I'd say it's the mist important tool in the box when it comes to p38s

My missus when I walk in the door with a new toy? I'll get me coat
