I can hear every note from every instrument under the bonnet. One out and I touch cloth.

440 on the P38A.

Pretty sure you hear the pumps.

Might be the thermostatic expansion valve. If that's faulty it can over pressurise and vent to atmosphere. I got one from some aircon place and it took about 10 minutes to fit. Got the garage to empty it, swapped the valve then got them to regas it. Valve is on the bulkhead iirc.

Think that's WABCO D not C and I also have a suspicion they may have fixed it in an update.

Never thought of that. Bit surprised it did anything as it has enough oil going through it.

One of the new neighbours asked if there was a car-park behind my house and how to access it. Had to explain they were all mine.

Fixed that for you.

I think I would be looking at map pipe or inlet gaskets next. Possibly the intercooler itself as RRDT suggested.

That's the only way I know. Worn teeth on the mechanism might mess it up.

Strangely that doesn't do anything in practice. @300bhp/ton runs oversize tyres.

Hose delaminating inside? Any black smoke? That heat shield under the intercooler inket all good?

Or shear it off. Oh wait. That was gearbox, wasn't it?!

Anyone owning a Land Rover is suspect. Owning two, particularly a non-runner pretty much seals it. Every extra Land Rover after that is just an indication of the level of insanity.

Possibly. Old lift pumps had a non-return valve built in. Later ones don't so I fitted one just after the fuel filter.

And indeed now in its new home! Nice to meet you and thanks for showing us around your collection.

Yep. Now in my collection behind my house. Pulled it effortlessly. According to the Nanocom the coolant temperature varied between 85 and 91C unladen and pretty much solid at 90C fully laden no matter what the terrain or speed.

Have to admit we put heritage 20/50 in that 4.0 litre we fixed and it ran really well on it.

Started the scrapper. Bit odd. Reconnected battery and everything worked again! Tried to start and everything went dark again. Tried a jump lead from battery negative to engine and even battery positive to starter positive but no change. Disconnected battery negative, waited 3 minutes and then...

Doesn't matter if semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. Shell always used to have the best oils. Their additives seemed to be very good. Whether this is still the case I am unsure. Some people like @Henry_b recommend an oil high in ZDDP or something like that. Sounds plausible. I do oil changes...
