Sorry all for the slow reply been doing the hours of reading in other threads about the 4.2. Been trying to find out about the valley pipe but could only find information on it on Jaguar sties. Gearbox service doesn't look too bad or much worse than the one on the p38 just more selective fluid...

I am thinking of moving up from my 2001 p38 4.0. I have seen a nice condition 2005 4.2sc with 128k full service history on it for £4900. Looked at it and seen a slight coolant leak from the lower thermostat hose coupling seller says not seen it before but had alternator replaced in November...

What does it run like if you can get it to switch to lpg is it the same smoother or rougher? as that would rule out fuel problem. Have you changed the plugs and ht leads when was the lpg last serviced or filter changed? Have you checked that the ht leads are connected to the coil pack in the...

Sorry for the very slow update been unwell and forgot to post. Had the rangie looked at to be told it does sound like a lifter or rocker cap as was suggested by biketeacherdave. So thankfully no rush will wait till better weather and see what can do to it. Even who I got to look at it said its...

I am taking it today to be looked over and see if can get a little more information on it and whats what. I am more looking towards the thinking of getting the work done, as has been said better devil you know plus the colour isn't very common of 624. If had my health still wouldn't have thought...

Thanks for that tip as had never thought to check under the rockers always thought head gaskets first being that its a p38 Is there much to remove to get them off or can be done with everything in place with some wiggle. Have done a compression test last September cant remember the numbers but...

Thats the question I've been asking myself as this is my 3rd p38 in between that time had 2 grand Cherokees 1 3.1td bucket and a 4.7 v8 went like a beast but just lacked that something and santa fe 2.7 ok but very bland. Have been looking to replace it would only be another Grand Cherokee 4.7...

I am looking into getting the camshaft tappets heads done on my 2001 4.0 its done 129000 and running on lpg. Reason for wanting to get it done is there is a noise like as if an exhaust gasket has gone and there is excessive tappet noise. there is no overheating no water loss or oil loss. Its...

Thanks for that, just had a look at the rave manual and on the rangie. Looks like a lot of parts to remove to take the sensor out, the sensor its self looks corroded where its located. Was planning on doing the tappets and cam in the better weather might leave it until then. Should the heads...

Was going to ditch the k & N as it always seems more work than its worth. Does the maf have involvement with the p38 starting?

Wonder if anyone can shed any light on what would cause intermittent starting problem? The problem is that sometimes when you start it, it struggles to start revs fail to rise like a stumble but doesn't stall. Happens engine hot or cold, few months ago had a fault that engine would suddenly...

Having done this just last year to both sides I used emmots for the hubs and had no problem since. If your going to do it 32mm socket and crack the hub nut before taking the wheel off I used the jack and a breaker bar and used the weight of the car to shift it, and a set of hub bearing pullers...

Done the drop to access height and as asked it raised from the rear first then the front. On holiday at the moment with the p38 but have ordered a valve block rebuilt kit also the kit for the compressor figure with its age it wouldn't hurt it for a refresh. Will post up the results in a...

That's the part that's throwing me is its only one complete side, tried parking it backwards and forwards and in different places and always the drivers side It's a slow drop overnight thing, was thinking valve block as checked the pipes for leaks at the air bags or is there any weak spots...

Hi all, have done a search and cant find a full answer to this if anyone can point me to a link or give some advice that would be great thanks When parked overnight car drops only on the drivers side back and front to the same level and after 2 days onto bump stops on drivers side only. Could...

Just an update to the selection lights and sports button not working a faulty selector panel, went through the rave manual and decided to change the gear selector panel as seemed a cheap option sure enough new panel from ebay and lights all working as should aswell as sports button.. So to...

Out of my 3 this one has been a learning curve it's all stock bar an lpg conversion but paying for uncareful previous owners.. sold a perfect good v8 grand cherokee to go back to a p38 when they work its a joy when they break you end up bald and broke. will post results of what happens...

Thank you for the quick reply, re downloading the RAVE manual now. Was thinking of getting a replacement gear selector unit to try it. This is my third p38 seems to be an addiction for them to keep going back to them

All the lights on the low side light when in low, and in high only the green lights come on but all go off when the headlights are turned on. The red dot lights that show what gear don't come at all, the sports light doesn't come on at the gear lever but when it does work it only shows in the...
