    P38A Front Suspension - "wobbles"

    +1 on this. Did you remove both sodes at the same time ? If so, thats why the asle rotated a bit.

    [P38] Exhaust gases in coolant

    If the header tank cap is tight with no leaks, I would say until you release the pressure. more likely is a slow depressurise through the pump (unless it has a suitable valve ?)

    P38A Front Suspension - "wobbles"

    When I did mine I did the chamfer about 5-6mm. Next I do some, I plan to buy one of those taper bearing races (unless someone nearby has the LR tool).

    P38A Front Suspension - "wobbles"

    Did you chamfer / bevel the end of the bush plastic outer ? If not it's difficult / impossible to even get it started. Ring compressor is a good idea, but with jubilee clamps you can remove them one at a time as the bush goes in.

    Freelander 1 [New Title] Bad Idle, high Fuel Consumption & grey smoke.

    I have ordered fuel pump & regulator seal kits to do. Can't definitely see any fuel escaping, but the pump does look like it might be. I did check the sensor volts at idle and it was about 1.7V, but that could be the ECU adjusting the regulator to get the right reading ?

    Freelander 1 [New Title] Bad Idle, high Fuel Consumption & grey smoke.

    Just been setting up to do a leak-off test on my son's 2004 TD4 FL1. Removed the leak off pipes from the injectors, and tried the ignition-on with engine off check. No fuel coming from injectors tops, but lots coming out of the leak-off pipes ?? Surely there should not be flow from the...

    Instrument replacement and mileage anomaly

    Was assuming the BECM had grabbed the higher milage from the cluster - hence both are now high !!

    Do the nut (5) at the far end first. It's easier while the axle end is still attached. Then undo the two marked 7 & 8 in the diagram. If the bolts are fouling on the roll-bar mounts, just undo them & let the roll-bar hang down a bit. Also do one arm at a time. The other one will tend to...

    [P38] Exhaust gases in coolant

    Did you remove & test the thermostat at any point ? Also it's possible to get the two smaller pipes on the wrong ports, which does affect the coolant flow.

    Instrument replacement and mileage anomaly

    It's gonna need the BECM & Instruments reprogramming by someone with the right tools.

    Also is the pump working & pressurising the system ? Do the usual accumulator checks as well.

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    It normally sits level, but after 10 days not being used, my blue P38 seems to have leaned over a bit !! Usually levels ok when started up !!

    nothing wrong with running it for a while with water & always getting ot properly warmed up so you can find any leaks. Then after sorting those, drain & replace with proper coolant.

    P38A Height Sensor replacement

    me too. EAS works well if it's properly setup & maintained.

    P38A AC Condenser failed

    Yes mine still works. Had to re-gas a few months back dues to leaking compressor, but all good now.

    Did mine the other way round. RTV to stick them to the covers & then put them on the heads.

    P38A Horn connector

    Just check if either spade connector on the new horn is grounded to the metal. If not either way round should work ? Try it on battery first.
