    p38 diesel injection problem

    That's probably about right. Mine's a manual and does about 23 round town, 30 on the motorway at 70mph and about 20-22 towing a caravan. Pumps and injectors come expensive and you'd have to think about how long it would take to get back the hundreds you would spend at an extra 1 or 2 mpg. These...

    "Eightinavee" wins the virtual bonus prize! Had my local independent LR specialist have a look with Autologic and that's what he found. Security relearn done and car as good as new. Well, nearly. It has done 130k after all! Thanks to all for your help Mike

    p38 diesel injection problem

    I'd thought of that as well, as apparently the shaft does shear sometimes. Is there any way of checking whether the pump is turning with the engine without taking it off?

    p38 diesel injection problem

    The thing I can't get my head around is how the immobiliser shuts off the fuel supply. I assume it doesn't just enable the stop valve as that would be too easy for a thief to bypass. I wonder if it forces the ECU to send a "zero fuel" signal to the FIP. (same as when in overrun mode). Having...

    Thanks for that. I've given up trying to sort it myself as i was going round in circles. BECM and ECU sent off for testing so will post result of that when I get it. Mike

    p38 diesel injection problem

    Hi It's different on the diesel. After turning on the ignition you have to wait for a few seconds for the glow plug light and engine check light to go out before turning the key to start. This is all happening normally. I've tried provoking the system by disconnecting the diesel pump etc. This...

    p38 diesel injection problem

    The light comes on when the key is turned and then goes out a few seconds later. An alarm problem had occurred to me but I thought the immobiliser stopped the starter circuit. Engine is cranking over normally. The dash display has shown "alarm fault" ever since I bought the car so that's not...

    p38 diesel injection problem

    I hope someone out there can help with this. My p38 diesel has been 100% reliable for the year I've had it. Until yesterday! It ran fine in the morning and then would not start 2 hours later. AA man was helpful but could not solve problem. These are the facts. There is no high pressure fuel to...

    Range Rover P38 2.5 Diesel (BMW)

    Hi Bunter Mine's just the same. It's worse in hot weather and changing the tank pump didn't fix it. There are many posts on here dealing with this problem, with lots of different suggestions, so I'm trying the leak-off pipes tomorrow! It's the only thing that is spoiling a brilliant car. My fuel...
