Thanks. I just remembered, my friend said all the sensors were reading 2.8 volt, and all normal. But after moving off, the front nearside had a reading of 2.3 volt. does this change anything??

Hi all. I read the posts on this site every dinnertime while at work, and ive been able to solve a big list of problems with my 2000 dhse rangie. I went to take for an mot last week and failed on front near side wheel bearing. I changed the hub, not too much fuss to be honest, though was a...

iv noticed it more in recent weeks. hmm... dont really have ££££ to through at this.. does the BMW 6 cylinder head fir straight on?? there arent many range rovers in scrap yards, but there are allot more bmws. i havent really worked on the engine much, but have experiance on other engines in...

hi. thanks for your reply. hmmm... yes, it does have a phut phut noise at the same time.... not sure if it comming from exhaust, but it does seem to be origionating from the engine. Havent noticed any black smoke. is this a cracked head?? the funny thing is, it goes when the engine is...

Hello. i was hopping somebody could give some advice. I have a 2000 bmw diesel p38, which has done about 107,000 miles. Recently, i have noticed what feels like a missfire when the engine is cold, and even when under load. I have just serviced the engine, all fluids, oil, filters and...

Hi I have found my in tank fuel pump is faulty. The late half of last week i had lots of air i the fuel line and problems starting. On saterday i dropped the tank to get to the in tank fuel pump. I expected to find the fuel pipe cracked of perished, but to my supprise i found the fuel pump...

be very careful.... I have been using filtered and cleaned vegatable oilas a fuel for about 18 months. The only legal solvant that is allowed to be put into your fuel tank is petrol. If your fueltank was ever dipped by the plod, it would take allot of explaining to get away with white spirit in...

I have to admit, all my engine tinkering has been on older design engines, and i admit im an old school type of guy. There are many enignes out there without EGR (the bmw 2.5d is one of them pre 99! why??). There are also many engines which lend themselves nicely to modifcation, pulse tunning...

There are many people who believe the removal of the EGR on other engines, if not the bmw 2.5d, to make them run more efficiently and get better mpg. Was kinda hoping this could be the case with mine. The recirculation of exhaust gas back into the inlet to lower emmisions for a test the MOT...

ahhhh..... didnt realise that.. ive seen some early bmw 2.5d P38 without the EGR. im not a fan of them. all they seem to do is choke up the ilnet with oily crap that you really dont want! I recently removed my inlet manifold to replace the injector bleed off pipes, to find the inlet manifold...

Hi all. Basically, as above. Is it possible to remove the EGR valve from the intake manifold?? I have done some research on previous threads, but all i find is for the TD5 and V6. Are they available as a kit or can it be a home maufacture type of mod?? any help is greatly appreciated. :confused:

thank you all for your posts! very informative. I will have a look tommorow, i do hope its a fuse or sticky relay... dont fancy stripping the seats, but will see. Sorry, i didnt mean the Hevac had a symbol on, i meant the light to say the heated seat is switched on illuminates, suggesting it...

Thanks for the quick reply!! Thats a bloody good link!

Hi. I have looked in the previous threads, but i cant find what im looking for. There are posts relating to the heated seats, but cant find what im looking for. I have heated seats in my 2000 2.5dhse and they dont appear to be working. Ive read that the light on the Hevac unit will illuminate...

Hi. I have tried to do a search for advice, but hasnt been fruitful for the problems im having. I have a 2000 2.5 DHSE. runs great. only had it 2 months. However, my EAS compressor runs almost continuously and i can feel the vibration from inside the cab. When i park the car up, when i come back...

hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know, i have got my P38. I posted on ere a week or so ago asking for advice, and i it helped me make my desicion and went out and bought the car i had been looking for. Its a P38, 2.5 dhse. Thanks to the advice from this forum, i have already serviced the car...

wills, you are a gentleman. i know is late, and your in depth response was both very informative and also kind. I have taken this car for two drives, the latest one was today, and for about 45 mins. (Garage are indepandant lardrover specialists, and damn good guys) The engine is slugish and...

wills, your a star! :) you have just made me happier. Thank you. Can i ask your advice on my other question too?? it is a post titled, service history, how important?? Ive wanted a P38 for a number of years, and have been actively looking to buy one for the last two months. ive found allot...

hi. It comes up with "gearbox overheat, see service manual" straight away as soon as the ingnition is switched on... Ihave read allot about the dreaded "O" ring on the heater matrix, some say £2k from dealer, wheras another member on here says 40 pence and some time.. i like the sound of the...
