Grrrrrr's latest activity

I can hear every note from every instrument under the bonnet. One out and I touch cloth.

Maybe with the diesesed motor hibernating 🤭

440 on the P38A.

If all else fails there is always the 240 air con (2 windows open 40mph )

Pretty sure you hear the pumps.

I have got a turbo in bits on the bench, it's surprising how much gunge there is on the intake side.

May be a sticking wastegate and the cleaner cleared the gunge out

I'd still have a look about. The guy that did mine said the compressor oil was actually dyed, and UV reflective so if they put oil in (and they should have) then you might be able to see whare it's coming from.

Might be the thermostatic expansion valve. If that's faulty it can over pressurise and vent to atmosphere. I got one from some aircon place and it took about 10 minutes to fit. Got the garage to empty it, swapped the valve then got them to regas...

Think that's WABCO D not C and I also have a suspicion they may have fixed it in an update.

Never thought of that. Bit surprised it did anything as it has enough oil going through it.

One of the new neighbours asked if there was a car-park behind my house and how to access it. Had to explain they were all mine.

If you lot hadn’t drilled the fact you take the filler out first into me the situation would have been far more severe 👍🤭 Oh and don’t put green stuff on your gearbox plug threads. That too 🫣

Fixed that for you.

I think I would be looking at map pipe or inlet gaskets next. Possibly the intercooler itself as RRDT suggested.

That's the only way I know. Worn teeth on the mechanism might mess it up.

Doesn't appear to require anything from the BECM, so I'd say if you bought the correct HEVAC unit and a cople of relays it should probably work.... If you'e got the wires and earthing stud for it in the plenum, I've a UK pound here says it's a...

What are you wanting to use the p38 for? Is it for off roading? And do you still have air suspension? The biggest issue is, if you are on air still and the system drops to the bumps stops. Bigger tyres will rub massively and you may not be able...

Im going to have to disagree with this. We have a P38 on stock air suspension thats on 235/85R16 and they fit. They do touch very slightly but not nearly enough to warrant trimming. On the rear axle under full compression they touch slightly on...

I take it the two potentiometers you are talking about are the tiny ones I have circled in the photo below. Good luck trying to tweak those without a calibrated test rig.

Strangely that doesn't do anything in practice. @300bhp/ton runs oversize tyres.

Hose delaminating inside? Any black smoke? That heat shield under the intercooler inket all good?

Or shear it off. Oh wait. That was gearbox, wasn't it?!

Always undo the filler plug first is good practice. Don’t wanna drop it just to find out filler won’t come out for some reason.

Took the Golden Girl to the plastic surgeon today. Mirrors and some minor touch ups for next month and a less minor bumper respray as some ass decided to scuff right across the n/s/f . Also a few more bits as jobs for the winter, when both he and...

Anyone owning a Land Rover is suspect. Owning two, particularly a non-runner pretty much seals it. Every extra Land Rover after that is just an indication of the level of insanity.

Read: 'utter lunancy' and 'inability to focus on a single project' :vb-flippy:

The l322 onwards is pretty much electric anyways, just needs a hunking 4.4 v8 to power the alternator 🤭

A 4 year old thread ressurected .... You use a 75W90 oil. Wether is has Molybdenum in it or not will make little to who-ha of a difference. Semi synth or fully synth, it doesn't matter it's in a differential of a road car in the UK. If you were...
