+2 The injectors in my Legacy are now on 45,000 miles and working perfectly The setup should not be too expensive - most decent LPG systems have an 'auto calibrate' mode which get you pretty close to the ideal values, that alone should be enough to establish if the poor running is a setup...

I may be wrong, but I don't think the fact it fires with easy start means it is not the glow plugs - easy start a lot easier to ignite than diesel! To me, everything points to your glow plugs needing replacing... Cheers Jerry

420Kg weight reduction is impressive. I agree with data, much better looking than the Evoque. I may consider one in 17 years time :-) Cheers, Jerry

If all you are doing is changing the pads and disks, I don't think depressurising the system is necessary - at least, I didn't do so on mine, and had no trouble pushing the pistons back into the calipers either. Cheers Jerry

I know you have recently had the system regassed - but are you sure no gas could have escaped? The only reason I ask is your symptoms are EXACTLY the same as mine before I had the system regassed, has worked perfectly since it was regassed. Cheers Jerry

Sorry for the delayed response, thanks as ever for the helpful replies. Just go back from being away for a few days, and have hooked up Nanocom, no faults logged apart from the ever present 'cruise control' fault! Will check wiring to CPS and Inj 4.... Cheers, Jerry

I'm also putting my money on the water pump but OP has still not said the system has been bled according to RAVE procedure, in which case airlock could give similar symptoms, could it not? All I'm saying is that he needs to fill it and bleed it according to RAVE, sort the wobbly fan out (just...

Data's comment is referring to the electric fan conversion - i.e. the engine rarely needs them in order to keep itself cool. But rarely doesn't mean never... Obviously on the occasions when they are required, the engine will overheat if they don't work :-) Likewise with the viscous fan, if it...

Hi The bolts are 19mm 12-point, so a 12-point socket should fit, you may need to tap it on gently if the bolts are a bit rusty. If you haven't got a decent quality 12-point 19mm socket, then go and buy one! Don't even think about using a 21mm!! They will be tight so you need to put quite a bit...

Silly question maybe but have you followed the coolant filling/bleeding procedure in RAVE? It is not hard and certainly worked perfectly on my 2.5DT Cheers Jerry

Hi just wondering if anybody has come across this before: Occassionally (happened twice in about 2K miles) my P38 will not start when hot - engine turns over very quickly, and rev counter bounces around all over the place, but no hint of it starting. Leave it 5 minutes, and it behaves as it...

What you describe is exactly how my car behaves (2.5DT, 95, no traction). My pump used to come on every time the brake pedal was pressed, I changed the accumulator and now it is every third press or so, exactly as yours is - so it is possible that your accumulator is fine. I suspect air in...

First P38 I've ever seen without Climate Control!

Strap wrench should get it off no problem. Quite a bit of brake fluid escaped from mine, so agree with the comment about the rags! I did follow the RAVE depressurising procedure too. I haven't bled the brakes since changing it, but they do need it. Good luck! Cheers Jerry

Also please let us know which engine - if H&H spec, I presume it's a 4.6V8?

What messages (if any) are there on the message display?

.... to Keith (Datatek). Just finished changing all four airbags in my P38, using his guide, which was excellent. I even bought some welding rods especially (I don't have a welder ;-) ) Despite having aluminium bottoms to my old bags they all came out easily, I think my car (LHD) has spent...

Mine does exactly the same - gauge sits just above the blue unless worked whereupon it goes to about 12 o'clock and stays there. Even towing a couple of tonnes yesterday it didn't go above 12 o'clock. The other interesting thing is with aircon on, it always sits at around 12 o'clock. Would be...

Not heard of the BMW engine needing new mains before - any idea why it happened? How many miles had the engine done? Cheers Jerry

LOL! Also, check the belt does actually fit and is not too long. I bought one from Island 4x4 and it was slightly too long, had to put the old belt back on. So it possible that there are two different lengths.... Cheers, Jerry
