Thanks @kermit_rr . Definitely going on the ARP route. Will fix the breather in next day or two. Have some time off in a couple of weeks so may get after the head gasket then. Will just leave the rear main seal which I imagine is fun on a driveway in December :)

Thank you. I will do the breather first but will need to get to the hg at some point too. Been reading rave and looks fairly ok ;)

Hi, I have a P38 2002 4.0 Thor. After 165k miles I think the head gasket has developed a small oil leak near the front on the drivers side. Very minor at moment and no issues at all and she runs perfectly. However I assume at this mileage it is only a matter of time before head gaskets need...

Hi. Have been an idiot and need some advice please. I removed the rear washer jet to unblock it and left a good inch or two of pipe hanging through the hole, no problem I thought. But when I went back the pipe had recessed back into the metal panel although I could just about see it. In trying...

Spent the day deciding whether or not to tackle the non working heated seats in my lovely P38. It's the last thing left ( excluding paintwork ) after a ton of work restoring her. Still can't decide if worth the effort .....

I unfortunately don't have nano com and my scan tool whilst specific for range rovers wouldn't connect to the cruise control, although I haven't tried since changing out the ecu so might be good now. Like you in real life I wouldn't use it that often but it was the last thing that doesn't work...

Thank you everyone for your advice and help, much appreciated :) Pleased to report all working now. Issues were bad ecu and also a dodgy connection in the inverter. A great forum for sharing knowledge and experience. To anyone reading the thread where they have followed the RAVE diagnostic...

Thanks Pete. I am trying to work out now if the engine computer can disable the cruise control on petrol models as there appears to be no check other than for the diesel in the RAVE fault testing procedure?

Thank you everyone so far. The plot thickens. A scope on the wheel speed feed to the CC ECU shows a pulsed waveform between 0-12v after. a quick drive which looks fine so I believe that was a wild goose chase. All of the other inputs to the ECU look to be fine also. The only tests from RAVE I...

Thanks guys. I will chuck a scope on the abs module later when home. I think it's fine as I don't have any ABS faults and it seems to work as best I can tell. If I remember the wiring diagram off the top of my head it feeds the speedo amongst other things which is fine. Best to be certain it's...

Hi, I've searched the forums for this question but can't find an answer anywhere. Hopefully the vast knowledge of the forum can help. The CC on my 4.0 2002 P38 doesn't work. I have tracked the issue down to the BECM wheel / road speed output on pin 20 which goes to the CC ECU. I believe it...

Hey. Yes all sorted. Replaced the SRS ECU under the centre console with a second hand one of eBay (important not previously been fired) and I popped a resistor of the type mentioned earlier in the thread by datatek in place of the airbag. You need to get to the ECU first to make sure you have...

Ditto down to the missus helping and patio lol. Nowhere near as bad a job as I thought it would be.

Hi Guys, The headlining in my 2002 P38 4.0 is knackered. I am about to pull it out and recover and I am pretty sure it is one piece. I have seen this used 2 piece one advertised on eBay at island4x4 ...

Thanks for the advice Phil. Having done plenty of other work on her I have plenty of penetrating fluid and the biggest blowtorch I could find , and of course an angle grinder lol :)

Thanks for the kind offer. Unfortunately in Mid Wales now.

Thanks Andy. I am trying to avoid needing having anything to be made as don't have anyone to do it. So I'm hoping the larger kit will have everything I need fingers crossed !

Thank you Mark. I will have a hunt around for the kit.

Hi, My lovely girl -2001 4.0 P38 just sailed through the MOT at a mere 160k. However we had one advisory that I knew was coming on the offside front lower control arm balljoint. Having a quick look on the internet pressing kits to remove/install the ball joints made specifically to the P38...

This seems so random. Our P38 is insured in my wife's name with me as a named driver ( with a small accident to my name. Insurance came up for renewal and over doubled from £240 to £600. Quick use of a comparison website and First Central came in at £225 :) This company seem super competitive as...
