    What mileage is your Range Rover P38 on? (1994 to 2002)

    Mine's late '99, currently 113,000 roughly (182,000 k's) but running it up at about 40k per annum. Thank god for LPG...

    Low power, some smoke, then no smoke

    Just a follow up to the post last week regarding my P38. The Rangie ended up in the shop for three days before the surprising problem was discovered. Turns out that the inlet valve on No 8 cylinder was stuck open, maybe due to a dislodged carbon deposit. Also a piece of ceramic surrounding the...

    Low power, some smoke, then no smoke

    Thanks again to you all for the help. Now in the cool light of day I think I'll limp it down the coast to British Off-Road, the local wrecker-cum-dealer. I'm on the Sunshine Coast, place called Noosa Heads, miles from Bundaberg and I agree with Alan; Bundy rum is a dangerous product. I'll post...

    Low power, some smoke, then no smoke

    Tomcat, you should know that owning a Rangie and NOT drinking are mutually exclusive occupations! Yes the fridge is now empty. The nearest service centre is about 55 k's away, I'll call them in the morning for advice, that is if they aren't all off surfing. Thanks for your help, and you too...

    Low power, some smoke, then no smoke

    Thanks Tomcat. The gas warning beeper sounded pretty much as soon as I drove off, knew it was low and ready to run out. Switched straight away to petrol as I always do and that is when the smoke belted out. Switched back to gas once I re-fuelled and the smoke disappeared. Started it again just...

    Low power, some smoke, then no smoke

    Thanks for the quick reply guys. It always starts on petrol, runs for about 3 or 4 k's before switching automatically to gas. Leads are only about 40 k's old and all secure. Fuel filter, not sure but would imagine it would only affect petrol running. The rough engine running/idling occurs with...

    Low power, some smoke, then no smoke

    Hi fellow addicts, I have a 1999 (late) P38 4.6 HSE, 180,000ks with LPG conversion. Today when leaving work it started normally but ran like it had dropped a cylinder, rough and down on power. My gas had just run out and was running on petrol. It belched grey/blue smoke from the exhaust, and...

    P38 Alternator Blues

    Thanks for the quick replies. A sparky has looked at it today, reckons it's the regulator, and the headlight issue is just a coincidence. Trouble with that is there are no regulators in Australia but they CAN supply a new alternator for a lazy 1200 bucks! By the by Wammers, the miles are k's, so...

    P38 Alternator Blues

    Hi, This is my first posting. Have read with great pleasure, and some success, on solutions you folks have for P38 probs, there are some very clever guys out there. But this one has me stumped and living on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland doesn't help, trust me. First of all, my fault, left...
