P38 DSE 2.5 auto Ok will try keep this short. My engine overheated long time and block porous. Got replacement engine which arrived minus flywheel and injector pump. So, took flywheel/torque plate of the old engine and fitted to replacement engine. First question, can this be fitted one position...

Bought one plugged in. Blue light then after a bit solid green. It almost started but battery died. I'm starting to think injector pumps maybe out of time slightly. As when I got replacement engine the pump was missing cog held up with cable ties. Thought I had got it right putting in...

As title says Anyone near Edinburgh got a Syncmate or nanocom. Got a 96 DSE that needs synced up Hope some one can help, need asap. Thanks in advance

Ok Will get back to you asap

Marty where you based? If no one local has one I'll be right back to you? I go on holiday week on Wednesday. So ideally like to be done before hols or just after.

Finding any mates online for £150. That sound about right? Hoping to try borrow one from someone !!

Ok, without spending a fortune can anyone recommend where to get a an mate or similar. Or even better anyone around the Edinburgh on the forum got one I can borrow or rent one from. I live close to forth road bridge. My mate has a Snsp On Solus...

It's. Dse

Got her turning over but can't get her to start. Key fob works ok to unlock doors. The alarm/immobiliser red light on top of dash doesn't work. Was thinking maybe immobiliser is on. Would engine still turn over if it was on? If I used EKA code would this switch off immobiliser? Say my code...

Starter was ok before engine change.. Had it out and tested with jump leads and battery all ok. Was wondering if it could be something electronic

That's maybe an exaggeration Battery connected. Key fob locking and unlocking door. Dash lights on Usual window reset messages & altenator fault appeared. Turn key you hear a click under dash but no engine turning. All looks fine at starter etc Is there something I'm missing with...

Forgot to say I have a 2.5 DSE 1996

after few months after slipping a disk in my back I'm finally back on the P38. So replacement engine in, everything connected up except 2 wires First thin green wire runs along/under fuse box, has black terminal on end, almost triangular in shape. Next one at positive battery terminal, from...

Decision time. My p38 has developed a nice tapping noise and starting to use water. Diagnosis. Slipping liner Everything thing else is good. 6 months not, new compressor & air bags, new windscreens & 2 tyres. Do I get a replacement engine or do I sell/ break it?

I just got a bit carried away getting close. Wife says it's ok, I've got an other ear.

Ok. When engine cold tapping is there. When I gets warm still there just a bit louder. When I Rev to over 1200 rpm it stops?? So, do you guys still think it could be a liner. I had head almost on rocker cover listening for the noise. Got a slightly warm & a little bit singed ear...

What lead me to being a lifter is neighbour whose mechanic reckoned it was a lifter or valve. So I was hoping it was that. If it's a liner could mean death of another p38. If I keep driving and it's a liner what's could go wrong??

will give Island 4x4 a call tomorrow thanks

Sorry forgot to put engine etc in original post. Its a 4.6 V8 in a 1996 P38 with 125,000 on the clock I see Rimmer bros do a cam and lifter kit. Is it any good? Anybody used one?

Hi, when my engine warms up there is a load clicking noise. Guessing its a lifter. Can I just change lifters or should I do lifters and cam? Can i get away with original rockers and pushrods? it is only one thats noisy and just paranoid its doing damage. Engine runs smooth and...
