    range rover starting issue

    Had a similar problem with my P38 4.0ltr which turned out to be the fuel relay under the bonnet in the main fuse/relay box which I changed and have never had the problem since. You can switch one of the fan relays to try it and see. Hope it helps. Don

    Thanks for that - gutted now though - Is it much of a job to take the tank out - it does sound favourite because it only seems to smell when the engine has run which would seem to logically point to the pressurised fuel line. Hoping it's not much of a job - regardless I still love this motor -...
