pwood999's latest activity

Last year I put vacuum on my Blue P38 AC system, but didn't get round to having it gassed. Re-checked to day & it still has full vacuum, so hopefully gonna get it done this week. Green P38 AC is nice & cold, so that one is getting used...

The other next steps is a banch test like this: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/97-p38-gems-eas-issue-which-seems-to-have-expanded.387706/post-5576496

GEMS has an additional cover plate, but I think the 1999 onwards it's part of the sump on Thor engine ? Not sure about diseasel though. The bell housing inspection plate should be enough to see the flex plate on all types ?

Yes you can just fit one scrader valve in place of the compressor, but you will also need to activate the diaphragm valve to fill the tank. This also assumes there are no other leaks. The problem with this approach is the tank will get...

My local MOT guy will do a dummy MOT test for the standard fee. That way I can fix it before the real test & avoid fails or advisories.

Fixed slooby's old Rangie. Running nicely. Leak off on #2 and #3 were leaking everywhere, of course. Quick fix with sone spare pipe I had ready. Now what the hell do I do with it? MoT test, maybe?

You were the one saying to were offended !! Most of us just want you to go ahead and do it & report the outcome after the trip.

+1 it's all described in RAVE, but that doesn't detail the ECU strategy. Only how valve-4 works & the stages.

The auto box is controlled electronically and the firmware can be adapted for many different situations just as it will be different for the petrol engine compared to the diesel.

If the pump is not refurbished yet, just put the valves on the four airlines that go to the airbags. Tyre pump might do it, but most are only good for 35-40psi. The airbags need about 50-60psi for standard height. Once the airbags & pump are...

CR Max does not do most stuff on a P38. Petrol Engine & possibly gearbox only. You need Nanocom or EASunlock V3 If your EAS is on the bumpstops, there's no air in it & no need to deflate. Simply push the collets in & pull the airlines out...

If you're offended by words like "kiddo", or the other sentences in Mark's initial post, then you definitely need to man up. There was definitely absolutely nothing in there that was offensive, racist, abusive or otherwise !! It's called...

I did not imply you let the box get low on fluid, or state it was you, or blame you. You clearly said in the other thread it was low when you bought it, and was going into limp mode. You indicated (not stated) that you were looking at used...

As it happens, RRPhil suggested your gearbox was probably on it's way out due to running low on fluid for a while before you bought it ? Mine was a simple question with no ridicule, hidden banter, mickey taking, etc. Just a query because...

Did you rebuild the gearbox yet, or just assume it was low fluid ??

I want a lady garage as well😝

In response to your request for answers, may I present you with exhibit A. 🤣

I forgot to ignore today, so doing it now.

I think it needed 15mm strip. Wickes only had 20x2mm & complete faff in the hot weather narrowing them all down !!

@RRMaximus you have alot of perseverance. You keep on bleating that you want to lower your RPM but if not fuel economy then why? If its for engine longevity you do realise that a lower RPM but higher throttle request cause higher cylinder...

Finally after more than a year, repaired the plastic tabs on my lower tailgate trim last night. 2mm aluminium strips glued with Sticks Like SH*T. All nicely bonded, and re-installed just now. The cover has been flapping for ages.

These were our TD4 before & after injector tip cleaning. What I didn't do was time them properly to get a good mL per Min measurement.

Jack it under the axle & put axle stands under. Then height sensors are easy even on the bumps. As others said get some schrader valves as well. Then you can raise it up, while fixing the pump.

Will box them up this weekend & calculate postage. Truro is a bit far from Langley to pop over !!

Er actually you don't just take it, you respond at excessive length to the slightest comment or opinion. You also did the same on the other forum, when anybody mentioned fuel economy, even though your first post on here and there mentioned it...

@iSanttu Might be worth putting this AC issue into a separate thread. Do you know if they used the correct quantity of R134a ?

If the AC pipes are properly hot & cold, also check the Aspirator fan next to the clock, plus the Evaporator & Heater Core sensors. Evap sensor is pushed into the right side of the heater box near the bulkhead. Heater core sensor is clipped...

Try running it with the air filter cover removed. That way crankcase fumes cannot get in to the inlet. Also try running with disconnected EGR & intercooler hoses. That way you can eliminate turbo seals leaking. Basically your dividing the...

Washing up liquid as a last resort.
