Thank you everyone so far. The plot thickens. A scope on the wheel speed feed to the CC ECU shows a pulsed waveform between 0-12v after. a quick drive which looks fine so I believe that was a wild goose chase. All of the other inputs to the ECU look to be fine also. The only tests from RAVE I...

Thanks guys. I will chuck a scope on the abs module later when home. I think it's fine as I don't have any ABS faults and it seems to work as best I can tell. If I remember the wiring diagram off the top of my head it feeds the speedo amongst other things which is fine. Best to be certain it's...

Hi, I've searched the forums for this question but can't find an answer anywhere. Hopefully the vast knowledge of the forum can help. The CC on my 4.0 2002 P38 doesn't work. I have tracked the issue down to the BECM wheel / road speed output on pin 20 which goes to the CC ECU. I believe it...

Hey. Yes all sorted. Replaced the SRS ECU under the centre console with a second hand one of eBay (important not previously been fired) and I popped a resistor of the type mentioned earlier in the thread by datatek in place of the airbag. You need to get to the ECU first to make sure you have...

Ditto down to the missus helping and patio lol. Nowhere near as bad a job as I thought it would be.

Hi Guys, The headlining in my 2002 P38 4.0 is knackered. I am about to pull it out and recover and I am pretty sure it is one piece. I have seen this used 2 piece one advertised on eBay at island4x4 ...

Thanks for the advice Phil. Having done plenty of other work on her I have plenty of penetrating fluid and the biggest blowtorch I could find , and of course an angle grinder lol :)

Thanks for the kind offer. Unfortunately in Mid Wales now.

Thanks Andy. I am trying to avoid needing having anything to be made as don't have anyone to do it. So I'm hoping the larger kit will have everything I need fingers crossed !

Thank you Mark. I will have a hunt around for the kit.

Hi, My lovely girl -2001 4.0 P38 just sailed through the MOT at a mere 160k. However we had one advisory that I knew was coming on the offside front lower control arm balljoint. Having a quick look on the internet pressing kits to remove/install the ball joints made specifically to the P38...

This seems so random. Our P38 is insured in my wife's name with me as a named driver ( with a small accident to my name. Insurance came up for renewal and over doubled from £240 to £600. Quick use of a comparison website and First Central came in at £225 :) This company seem super competitive as...

Changed valley gasket amongst other maintenance on my P38 4.0. Buttoned her up. Started her up. Sounded beautiful as always ........ But coolant literally pouring out over the bell-housing. Convinced I had caused something catastrophic !! After removing fan realised leak was from front of...

Thanks for the advice guys. I will as I always do stick to RAVE :)

Hi Guys, In the process of changing the valley pan gasket on my 2002 4.0. I'm about to start putting everything back together and RAVE indicated only to use a bit of RTV on the seals. I have however seen people mention using RTV or Blue Hylomar on the actual gasket, around the waterways and...

It's had it I'm afraid. No idea how it happened though. It's been on and off a few times for oil changes over time as it loosened before the cap though can't see how it would cause this. Anyway a new one on order and the valve cover thread looks fine :)

Thanks @Henry_b . Unfortunately the thread is completely ruined so defo need a new one. Do you know why a simple cap wouldn't work ?

Hi, Not sure how but when I removed the oil filler tube whilst changing valve cover gasket the plastic thread is damaged and won't screw back in. Engine is a V8 Thor. My question is do I actually need the tube as they seem expensive for very little benefit, or is there an oil cap that will...

The transmission cooler is another size all together and would have a different part number surely ?

Hi, I had to change the oil cooler pipe on my v8 4.0 2002 from the front cover to the oil cooler. In the process of disconnecting from the oil cooler it stripped the aluminium thread on the cooler, which I now have learned is pretty normal. I ordered a new cooler (ESR 3204) suitable for all v8...
