looked at various videos, is it possible to diy clean as effectively as professionals?

Haha! Amazing work pwood999. Thanks for the info. Just got a new pump. Last job is the injectors...

I thought you had to reset no matter what, if you have "35mph only"??

Thanks Wammers. If land rovers were as reliable as you this forum wouldn't exist! Sadly my dealer is Tim fry Cheltenham. Told me they had one, had a bumpy ride there and nothing on the shelf. So trying to get to Salisbury via Kieth Gott in Hampshire. Currently at my workshop. Near Cheltenham...

Right pump packed up. All lights flashing 35mp only etc... Is there any way to wang a compressor up to the pipe and blow in enough to get to my dealer who has a new pump? I have tried already but I guess it needs to be reset before the valves will open???

Finally water problems solved, new stat in. Needle sits nicely in the middle/straight up. Thank god. Now it's only the EAS playing up. Very slow compressor. New one needed!

Thank you, causing me problems this old girl!

any way to test?

Anyone know how loud the compressor should be? mine got stuck at high - all lights on. last time i just reset it and it all worked fine after that, that was six months ago. same again this time, all lights on, got it cleared - the code was "air supply fault" so check for leaks - nothing...

also everyone complaining about the fan being difficult. 32mm spanner (generally long enough on its own) decent length pry bar. insert pry bar between shaft and pulley bolt head, insert spanner (there should be enough room if you use the right pry bar). righty loosey and off she comes. it is...

managed to break the allen key cap on the belt tensioner bracket, it just sheared off but it is still in there, i can get it out so thats no problem. the seal has stayed in there also, but it looks like it is lubricated somehow? need to replace.

Haven't fitted a stat, should have done really. probably do that.

Hello all, new pump in (fortunate as the old one was original and plastic had fallen apart) new rad in, useful as old one had a leak. Not sure what model uses the gearbox oil cooler? Mine has a separate cooler behind where the passenger front fog light would be in the posh models. Anyway, got...

ok well thats all encouraging. funny you say about the washer fluid on the forecourt - Grrrrrr.... thats exactly what it had at the london garage i pulled into!

Any opinion on cracked head from overheating? Suppose it's just a wait and see kind of thing.... anyone want to buy a nice P38?

It usually only takes highland spring when in London. Sadly I bought three bottles with the bonnet up on the forecourt used them all came in and asked if they had a tap, of course they did. Me - flustered idiot. Urm how do you check for baffle? And presumably without baffle it needs a new rad...

RR P38. 2.5 diesel 2001. So.... two weeks after buying the car (two years ago) the head gasket went. The series of events were as follows; Running fine for 2 weeks (long/short journeys) Overheat into red, instantly stop at side of road and switch off, wait to cool down and then limp to pub...

very long story, just eliminating options really.

anyone recommend a brand or place to find the mass air flow sensor. 2001 model BMW 2.5td. No parts place can get them, Land Rover don't have any, and fleabay have them ranging from £20-£200. Help please

yeah its a job for a customer, think i might leave this one.
