One check is to pump the brakes with the engine off and then hold the brake pedal hard down.
Start the engine and it should drop a little as the vacuum increases and pulls the pedal down.
You can also have the servo smoke checked by filling it...
I found the above posts interesting & will add my own experience(s)
On the subject of subbing out; back in 2000 I met such a contractor who was attending to P38 4.6 V8's at a time when LR main stealers were still dealing with warranty claims...
Update: The in-tank pump is a gonna! What I though was humming from the in-tank pump was possibly just vibration transferred either from the in-line pump or possibly the air suspension compressor. I've removed all the carpet etc. to get to the...
Unless of course it's an early one, you know the one's that weren't stuffed full of 'lecktronics & (in certain cases) could be mistaken for a London cab at first glance or have a propensity for slipping V8 liners.
No offence guys ;)
If its a car that is maintained then this is not the case IMO.
If the Previous owners dont maintain then yes.
But would agree I have had few EAS issues except leaky bags, height sensor and compressor issues on our P38/L322 all sorted all are...
Nice idea. Our little Log splitter hasnt been out for years not sure what T it is but, M wont miss it if it turns into something else in the garage 🤔.

That's a very good question my dear.
I can only go from my own experience kiddo. As you know the amount of revisions made to some models is beyond sense or belief.
I'm glad the P38 is a little more simple and straight forward tbh😵💫
Yep. Got all that. BUT. Is it 03 to 08 on the years because that part fits those models, made in that time period despite minor changes elsewhere on that designation. If not why limit it to those numbers? They can put 12 months why not 12 years...
Simply because the engineers only have room on the round stamp for so many years, in this case last year was 2008, and before they got to 2008 they would have made a new stamp ready for next run.
The Alternator can just hand in its notice especially if it's original.
Check the belt for any cracking on the underside or top and check all of the pullies for any noise or play. It may be worth renewing the Alternator belt kit and pullies to...
Right then, my new in 2022 blueprint front left wheel bearing has play in it after a full new assembly was fitted😵💫
So, as I have a recent hub and carrier unit. I'm no going to go down the full replacement route again for just two years and I'm...
Keith, Yes will def go for high temp one. I'm gonna try putting it on the power feed close to the pack first & see if that helps. Might even do the old thing of putting a 100nF ceramic in parallel with the electrolytic.
I have another pack...
À main dealer at Angoulême here in France.
They had subbed out the paintwork on my son's P38 as well but took the insure price for it..
There may well be dedicated and committed dealers out there as you've experienced but it is quickly becoming...
Indeed… I knocked off the front recovery point cover and the rear as well … oof! Was able to keep the rear cover and got it back on, but no clue what happened to the front, had to buy a replacement.. It’s all cleaned up and looking respectable...
This weekend I continued with the work, after having assembled the sump and the oil pump, I positioned the lower part of the chain and sprockets
then timing protection casing, I tightened the crankshaft bolt to the expected RAVE brute force, then...
