As above, plus various other possible causes: 1) Gummed up crank breather allowing oily fumes to the turbo inlet side. Cheap & simple fix is to replace it. 2) Injector fault putting too much fuel in. Do a leak-off test to make sure they are...

@Frank_38 read this thread https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/p38-battery-drain.364514/#post-4994309 and go through the battery drain checks in BECM SID attached to post #32 in that thread. That will confirm if the problem is the RF...

And today I had the first proper drive with the new brain installed and so far all good. I still need to tidy up some 12V wiring like the heater controller, Chademo control and a few other things also tweak a few settings but it's driving as well...

Yes disconnect the RF antenna. It's the most likely cause.

Moved one back a bit on the drive to allow easier access to garage !! Yesterday, was in a 2024 Audi A6 rental car my son got from the insurance after his Jag was hit in the rear. Interesting bit was we were on the M4 heading to Bracknell...

Four possibilities: No power, no audio feed, blown amp, or blown speakers. Scrappers always say either "working when removed", or "tested & working". Personally I don't believe either on electrical parts!!

There's 4 drain tubes - one at each corner. The rear pair have joins partway down the C-pillars. Can't remember if the front pair do as well though. Definitely NOT high pressure water. Last time I did mine, I use a lentch of 2.5mm main...

Usually RF interference waking the BECM, so disconnect the RF antenna from the receiver. It's under the offside rear shelf.

RF interference (loads on here) or aftermarket stereo draining it - usually switched and permanent live mixed up. Or headlight wipers not parked properly.

@britaddict add your town name to your forum profile. Might be someone nearby that could help with RAVE.

Although I agree it's unlikely to be the IACV, worth checking & cleaning anyway. Are all the LPG hose secure on the manifold ? Prob worth cleaning the throttle body & checking for leaks there as well.

The Blaupunkt one is 400€ or £450 from a UK seller !! I put one of these in my Blue P38. And yes changed the backlighting to green !! Sounds good, and because the speaker outs are floating (effectively balanced), it worked out of the box...

Check crank sensor & connector. It's down the left passenger side of the engine, & a common location for oil or moisture to get in. When it dies, do other electrics cut out as well ? I had an issue with the main battery connection on a...

Connect Nanocom & record GEMS while driving. Might be something logged to give a clue ?

Usually jumper links to split the battery into smaller & lower voltage sections. There will also be a main contactor to isolate the battery from the BMS when required. Many now have low voltage jumper somewhere to allow emergency services to...

Steering buttons depend on what type & brand you go for. There are adapters for most of the mainstream suppliers like Pioneer, sony, Kenwood, etc. If you're going Android then every unit I've used has SWC Inputs, and you program the steering...

Not based on any fact, but my guess would be with grooves slanted towards rear of car, then the inner end hits the pad first & at slightly slower rotational speed. Maybe less pad impact, therefore less noise & pad wear ?? Only real way to tell...

Found the answer. Sunroof Shade is in RAVE. amazing what's in the manuel !!

Just been outside & checked mine. With HEVAC set to 16deg, the compressor engaged for 2-3 min & was getting cold air from the vents with a minute of starting. The compressor then cycled on & off roughly every 30-40 seconds. It will also...

Didn't do the sunroof panel when I did my headlining - it wasn't sagging or dirty. I suspect the sunroof mechanism needs to be lowered - wait for a few dry days !!

Nanocom will show all the HEVAC sensors. The evaporator sensor is in the right side of the heater box & shows how cold that's getting. If it's below 6deg, that as above check the flaps are moving to the cold position. The values of the...

All correct. Changed thread title !!

Looks good, but how much does it weigh ??

Get a thermometer on the high & low side pipe & compare the temperature. FYI, my little Merc C180 Coupe wasn't getting cold at idle, so checked the pressures at idle & 2500rpm. All looked ok, but the vents weren't as cold as expected. Then I...

Also did they put enough gas in it ? P38 needs 1200g which is a lot more than most modern cars..

Still worth checking the battery CCA/EN capacity even if it's "only 18 months old" . . .

@MGT I'm still ignoring as requested.

Exactly 10 mins earlier it appears !!
