Too much negativity and cynicism on this forum. As a matter of fact my p38 is driving very well thank you. As it should have done when it left the factory. The most comfortable 4x4 yet and cheap to maintain. Yes I have fitted a HP24 box together with a larger intercooler, JFearne chip, BMW...

Ordered the bits for a turbo boost controller for my p38 diesel.:) Dismantled a knackered Garrett TD6 turbo i plan on fitting and found the shaft snapped clean in two.:mad:

Has it gone into "limp home" mode? Mine has done that. The car was absolutely gutless. The auto box also stopped working. I think it was stuck in 3rd gear as I remember.

+1 The p38 beep must be the most irritating sound to man. Puts the hairs up on the back of my neck.

Once it is all in bits you can mic up the crank to see if it is within tolerances. If if is OK then no need for a regrind. I would replace all the shells and O-ring seals though as a matter of course. Check everything carefully for damage particularly rods and pistons. Assuming the new liners...

Do a search for DZUS quarter turn fasteners or Southco fasteners. You need them with a wing head.

New brackets from a LR dealer are expensive as I well know.:o I don't know whether it helps but I saw a post on Rangerovers.net where a guy found out the proper name and size of the fastener used.

No difference. I just locked the car on the fob and it took exactly 2 mins to go asleep with the bonnet both open and also closed. Of course the alarm beeped with it open. I made a plug to activate the bonnet switch to the closed position when it was actually open so I could measure the current...

I have timed the BECM on my 2000 DSE auto. It takes exactly 2 mins to go asleep. I found having the bonnet open doesn't effect the time either. Starts off at 0.63A then drops to less than 10 mA.

I was down at Ashcrofts a month or two ago and David said they now do their own lockers. Sold over 1000 apparently. He didn't say anything about Kaiser lockers but could possibly made for them by Kaiser?

Try Ashcrofts. They have done all sorts of weird and wonderful conversions. They sell an aftermarket gearbox ECU called compushift. It can be programmed to what you want but is very expensive at £750.

Checked out the practicalities of fitting a larger Garrett turbocharger to my diesel.

It is a Tudor Webasto sunroof. I used to have one on my old classic. A pain to open but when it is rolled right back it was great in the summer. It has a solid ash frame if I remember well. I got mine recovered, can't remember by whom. Try Woolies for old spare parts. I think the handle used...
