Agree, but still don't think I can stretch to that yet. Ashcrofts seems to be a popular and reliable place. But looking on their site, I'd be looking a £725/795 for a recon box, including having mine back. Factor in fitting and I'm looking at circa £1100. But know that used unit is a...

Those prices are just for the box. Neither place offers fitting. So that would be extra to a good garage I use. Where did yours come from, if you don't mind me asking? And did you have any issues? (know that's no guarantee I wouldn't have as I know all boxes different etc, just interested) Cheers.

Revs issue only started since started messing with the gear box, so hoping it’s something related and simple. Don’t have access to nanocom etc but keeping my eyes open for one. Still trying to get my head round how an auto works (spending so much time on google etc I’m missing all the...

Automatic is new to me, so my terminology may be wrong. Problem only manifested it self since changed ATF, Before I changed oil it would go ok forwards, just hold gears for a while before changing up. Engine starts and ticks over really smoothly and revs freely with no load, no undue noises...

Began round two today..... Added bottle of Liquid Moly, and ran for 10mins, cycling through gears as stated. Dropped oil. Removed sump. Oil still really brown, but not quite as bad. Sump remarkably clean, not sludge and hardly anything at all on magnet. Cleaned, new seal, new filter, and...

Thanks for the info, really appreciate it. But unless I'm mistaken that means I would need the Green cable, plus the two Unlock codes, which will be around £230, so think I'll have to give yours a swerve as I'm approaching new cost territory. Best of luck with the sale though. And thanks for...

Yeah, just trying to get my head round what I'll need, and costs etc. Never had or needed diagnostics before, but P38 owner ship seems to dictate other wise. Did message you about it earlier on. Cheers.

I'm sure you are probably right.....but I'm a stubborn bugger, haha. As Autos are new to me, and I have already bought the oil etc, I'm using it as a learning curve. Will carry on, but am prepared to have to replace box, and have already sounded out local garages for costs to drop mine out and...

No. its unlocked for TD5 V8. But comes with blue and green leads.

update number 2..... Had time yesterday afternoon to drop sump oil (god it's nasty stuff, haha). Refilled as per procedure. Drove around block, dumped sump oil again, still lovely and dirty as suspected. Refilled again and drove again. Worse than before now, as little drive in D. But bizarrely...

Thanks. I've checked out web already, and its a close call as to which would be most economical option. New is, as you say, Ncom06. But looking at unlock packs to use with a second hand unit, looks like i'd need Ncom16 and Ncom18. Roughly £114 and £58 respectively. 16 gives access to the Becm...

Fellow member has a Nanocom listed in sale section, that is for the Landrover V8. I know It would need unlock codes to be used with my P38 Diesel. But looks like there are two codes for the P38, one for engine bits etc and one for other items. I'm not familiar with diagnostic kits for cars, so...

What sort of costs would be invloved? As it's not something I'd be able / confident to do my self. Cheers,

Quick update. Fip Diesel leak now sorted. Changed seals and all good. One thing ticked off very long list. Did oil test on white paper.......and its very very dark brown, so more than just a little dirty, sadly. The more I think about it, more I research it, more advice on here, and having...

I'll try the paper test in a minute. thanks. I suspect that will be the case on this one, but just feel for the sake of a few quids worth of oil, I'll give it a go with a flush first and keep my fingrs crossed... but the fact I've already started looking for another box speaks volumes, haha. Thanks.

Thanks all. stuff ordered.....know what I'm doing easter weekend now......

Meant to say 2.5 td (1999)

Cheers. Just looked on their web, and to add the two unlocks and the extra lead required would be about £280!!! So by the time I factor in the cost of yours, I’m in new unit cost territory. Guess I’ll have to start saving, haha.

Fluid is dark brown at best, probably close to black. Smells awful (not burnt, but makes you gag, haha) Cheer for the Lucas info. Gonna give a flush and Lucas a go and see what happens. Have read, do filter, fill it, run it for a while, drop oil again, run again, drop again and fill for third...

Hi. Don't know much about Nanocom other than I will need one at some point, haha. Can this one be used with a P38? Would it need an unclock code purchasing or a different lead or something, to make it work? Or is it totally model specific? Cheers.
