Quote: "Wheel bearing with part number FTC1507 fits front and rear hubs for Range Rover P38 all models. This bearing is very difficult to replace and cannot really be done without heavy duty presses. Our advice is to buy the complete hub. Part numbers are FTC3226 front Left Hand, FTC3243 front...

I think you'll find it is a custom bearing, not a conventional one. Peter

Sorry about that, chemo drugs again, constant runny nose! Hopefully some of this stuff will wash out of my system eventually. New steel box section for the engine trolley arrived this morning from Parker Steel, expecting extra axle and wheels from Meredith & Eyre this week as well. Peter

That's tough, but that is life. Some can do it, but a lot can't because of the software they use. You could have asked to cancel then re-order? Peter

It was getting on in the afternoon and a few folks had fairly long drives home. It was 86 miles each way for us. I'm the one with the adjustable in my hand at the start of the video. Peter

Noticed last evening that the original test sheet was dated 21st October 1932, so Saturday's start up was on its 85th birthday :) Peter

Running engines at light loading and undertemperature will induce bore glazing with (fairly) modern engines, especially diesels. I much prefer diesel oil in my engines than that designed only for petrol. The concentric rotor (Hoborn - Eaton) oil pumps on the serpentine and later engines tend...

Got the engine running yesterday, first time it has run in probably 40 years. Peter

The dealer may have been thinking of the fairly recent recall on LR removeable tow hitches? Peter

Our dealer is Marshalls of Bedford, asked me which key when I ordered it. Kevin in the parts dept is a real gem. Peter

Not really needed, we do tow a lot as regulars will know, but out of the two coolers, we felt that the gearbox cooler (R380) was more important, especially as the engine cooling system was functioning OK. We took the rig to the South of France in 35 Dec C temperatures and it was fine...

Yep, came this week, marked 'Key 3'. Synced straight away and worked all locks OK. £158.37 plus VAT = £190.04 We get a bit of discount on prices. Peter

Our D2 V8 had an oil cooler for the engine and one for the gearbox. We ditched the engine oil cooler and run 10W-40 or 15W-40 Diesel oil in them all, three V8's and a Rangie. Peter

R380 bias plate fractures and the spring breaks, both pretty common. Parts on fleabay or the usual suspects. Bias Plate: FRC9340, spring FTC4123 (2 required) Peter

Thanks! Just a carry-over from the chemotherapy. Peter

Lots have happened since June! Philip is currently in the USA, he is out there staying with our good friends in Santa Clara. His Discovery is at a local indy having core plugs done. We have got into Range Rover ownership with a 2000 Vogue, that has been interesting... :) Skimmed heads, runs...

Console out I'm afraid. Peter

Interesting! Peter

February 2014 issue, it is a P38 and it says the inertia switch on the bulkhead. The car was locked with the keys in the ignition. Peter

I'll dig through my back issues of LRM and see if I can find the article and check details. Peter
