Yes that's them.

The website is tuners garage, if anyone wants to dive into this a little deeper. in terms of checking cam lift , how is that done ? I have heard of using some metal in between the cam lifters,

This is where the rabbit hole started as the guy I bought it off drove it once then sold it. He bought it off an elderly woman who's husband had died and couldn't face to see the car , so I have no idea what's been done, the interior is like brand new and exterior cleans up like fresh paint ...

My dad told me about a company called tuners garage , they apparently specialise in the P38, can do ECU and gearbox tuning.

It's probably overkill, as the engine is extremely quiet no tappet noise or the dreaded liner tap, more to do with preventative maintenance. However I am at 122,000 miles. Since this car has been hidden away for a few years this is something that will be added into my to do list. Thanks...

Is it worth rebuilding the rockers and replacing the pushrods ? Or is that more trouble Than it's worth.

I'm an amature mechanic at best , how difficult is it to do the cam? I've purchased some land rover workshop manuals to try and teach myself, so I have a minor understanding.

I'm talking of an ECU tune on a dyno , if I have that done before a cam change , would doing the cam cause any issues?

I have a 4.0 1999 P38 , I am looking into getting the engine tuned and was wondering is it worth waiting until I have changed the camshaft for a torque cam would it effect the tune?

I believe standard are actually M12 heads as I had an M12 socket get stuck on the head of the bolts when it snapped . Obviously this is totally different if the exhaust was changed in the past and someone used different bolts. However M10 bolts did fit in my case. 100mm are far too long...

Just measured it at 5-6 cm which translates to 50mm so they should be enough.

Nice one 👍, I've just snapped a bolt so this is going to be fun, only got hand tools.

Are M10 x 100 bolts long enough ?

Hi everyone I am trying to remove the center box on my P38 and the bolts that go onto the clamp have disintegrated, does anyone know the nut and bolt size? Thanks

This is what I want to find out about, wether you can mate that to a Thor p38 , wiring the xyz switch and the low range is what I don't understand.
