Intermittent overheating problem so decided to remove the rad for replacement. However, how to remove the two bottom bolts when they are seized on the captive nuts in the radiator?...much foul language and several rain storms between, decided to get brutal and use an electric sabre saw with a...

Still jammed...after wd40...Anyone got any ideas?

Just did mine 2 weeks ago...not a difficult job but time consuming. remove the wiper arms. The lower windscreen trim is held on with plastic clips which pop off easliy.start from the middle and work outwards on each side. you can then ease the trim from beneath the pillar trims each side. The...

Looks like a job for a long weekend then!

Yeah! when I had the head off I checked the bores and they looked like they had been recently honed, but they had wear ridges at the top.I guess it could be piston slap if the person who did the honing put the old pistons back in with new rings...or some such

Tried the special handle but it won't move either way more than a few mm I don't want to use too much force in case I break the pinion on the motor. I haven't had any loud bangs yet. Think will try some WD40 and a long nozzle.

I tried a soft spatula from the wifes food processor round the rim of the sunroof just to make sure it wasn't stuck. When I press tilt and gently lift the sunroof it still will not go. I think maybe the cable is stuck, but I cannot lubricate it with the roof closed...any suggestions?

No...its been stood outside 3 months while i was pulling the cyl head

Can any one advise how to free a p38 sunroof siezed in the closed position? The motor tries but stops in both directions.

All back together but engine still tapping...What a ****er!!!

Tell me all you can about gloveboxes...mine's been jammed shut since Lancaster Landrover tried to fix it 4 years ago!

After 5000 miles making a tapping noise wich got worse my p38 dt blew its head gasket the other week...plucked up the courage to pull the head and the gasket had blown into the thermostat chamber (accounting for the big boil up at the time). On close inspection of the head...Its flat but there...

Hi all...should've introduced meself ages ago...currently the owner of an early p38 dt with head ache and a big crack in no 2 area

Hi...got the same knocking/tapping on my '95 dt...been doing it for the last 6000 miles...my local mechanic doesnt know the answer without an engine strip down. If it was big ends or mains the engine would have blown up in a short time. Have changed camshaft and tappets. my theory is a stretched...

Hi...the engine management light (looks like an injector) will start to flash or come on solid when the engine is running. If reseating the lift needle sensor clears the problem but you still have the engine management light, you will need to get your local friendly garage to clear the fault...

Hi Try checking the connector on the sensor injector no4. i you have been messing with the injectors you may have dislodged it and a bad connection will cause the FIP to eventually go into safe mode ie:runs like a dog...just happened to me after reinstalling reconditioned injectors. very...

Hi...got the same issue with my DT...152000 miles. I've changed camshaft, tappets and overhauled the injectors...still tapping after £1300 spent. beginning to think its either piston slap,bad small end or the fuel injection pump has gone faulty...either way it sounds expensive so any ideas would...

Hi, My DT camshaft is worn, I've had the tappets replaced and its still noisy...Is changing the camshaft a diy task, will i need to lock the engine at tdc etc... thanks in advance for any advice.
