Forgot to ask, I’m going to replace the blend flap motors all 3 since they connect to the same wiring harness. Could I use parts from the old ones to repare the recirculation motors? Someone made a remark about alignment, but the axle has a flat spot to align with. Maybe one should check the...

Found some time today and decided to take the injector 4 out. No big deal came out easy. Now waiting for the new one to arrive. In the mean time I had a look at the messages from hevac concerning the recirculation door motors. Well what can I say it’s caput, the pinion axle snapped off and...

Did the same thing a while back, on the ground using jack stands. I removed it from under the car to be able to clean it around the pump.

I shouldn't of said that it runs fine hot and cold before, I tried to start it an hour or 2 ago but it didn't start right away like it normally does. Opened the hood and there was a noticeable diesel smell, after checking it looks like injector 4 has a leak now. Plenty of air in the feed line...

Yes, I think it is also a good idea to replace that one. If I'm at it I might as well replace it. Would the pulley used for the BMD M51 e36 or e39 fit for the p38? Yesterday I connected some more cabling and the I had fewer error logged by the nanocom, only clutch and left and right...

Ok just a little update. Went on a trip with my bike for a week came back and I decided to continue with maintenance. So I replaced the thermostat, water pump, viscous fan, belts, pullies for the tensioner, the one next to the tensioner and in front of generator, replaced the glow plugs...

Does it jumpt time if so?

I’m going to check the valve clearances, since all belts are off I can turn the crank and I will be able to check

It is still intact apart from tiny holes on the side, when you bend it a bit diesel ****es out. Not sure what to do next. If I continue with thermostat, waterpump, oil, filters , belts spanners gaskets and i'll stil have the issue it's has been for nothing. I'm thinking maybe to strip of the...

Took off the air inlet this evening and played around with the fip in an effort to adjust the modulation to 50%. I don't know who said it earlier but it is indeed the little cap on injector 6 that is leaking diesel. I''ll need to change that later on just need to find pn for that. So I used the...

Ok thanks 🙏🏻 I’ll have a look a it this evening

That’s what I’m hoping. It’s funny I did not detect it when I bought it. What worries me is that the noise seems to be amplified by the oil filter housing. But since that housing is attached to the lower part of the engine it makes sense that the problem might come from there. Thanks for all...

Well, I found some time and decided to take the belts off and let it run. Same issue unfortunately, I’m afraid it might be the crank bearings or small end bearing. I really bought a basketcase… risky business buying a p38.

I'm all ears :)

I'll try and do that once I'm getting back from vacation. Still at work now and little time during the week. I'm leaving next monday with my motorcycle for an offroad trip and I need to make some preparations still. Looking at the data from the nanocom I see that when the engine is rather cold...

I tried that before, I tried again this evening it seems to come from injection pump... I attached a few files from nanocom, maybe someone can interpret this correctly.

Ok thanks, i'll check that as soon as i can.

yeah stuck my head in there but couln't see any rubbing or anything of that nature.

Hi all, my name is Bart. I recently bought a 1998 p38 Range Rover. It is a 2.5 diesel and automatic. I bought this as a project car so not a daily driver. I’m not a car mechanic and I have never worked on cars before. I did work on older motorcycles but that’s not the same right. I bought the...
