Thanks all, will update you in a few days when back together and "working" sounds positive at any rate!

This is what I'm hoping! The trail was only about 100-200 ft long as you could see it in the wet road. Fingers crossed

Hi guys, My dad was driving the p38 at about 50 when a damaged cooler pipe decided to spew all the ATF all over the road. He tell me it lost drive and he pulled over swiftly. There was a puddle under the car when it stopped so not totally empty. Had it recovered home safely. So I ordered...

These things happen and it can be very frustrating whilst broken but it's rewarding when you finally fix it :) well done

Slave is in the gearbox so if that's gone it's going to cost you at least 200+ just in labour. Good news is the master can be replaced easily and the system you can bleed. I would think that bleeding is the first port of call. If you need to check the master you can disconnect it from the...

You could be ok, I have seen loads of those inner joints where the boot just gets loose because the clip is crap. Can often just be refilled and re clipped with no major worries. If there is no excess movement or wobble then I would refill and re clip first. FYI I Got a new inner boot from...

It's nylon and it wears were it touches the metal part of the selector in a half moon shape eventually giving a sloppy stick! The roll pin is a joke! I had a tough time removing it with the gear box out and on the bench- in the end replaced it with a nut and bolt. It knocks out from the...

It's nylon and it wears were it touches the metal part of the selector in a half moon shape eventually giving a sloppy stick! The roll pin is a joke! I had a tough time removing it with the gear box out and in the end replaced it with a nut and bolt. It knocks put from the chassis leg side if...

From my own experience and from reading this forum it seems that a high percentage of non/poor starting TD4s are down to injectors. I have only ever replaced the one injector causing the problem and that's always been fine. I'm a cheap skate and have used used injectors from rover 75, FL and...

Interesting idea that, I am planning to give it one more bleed today or early in the week and will use that idea. Can't believe what a ball ache this has been, the clutch change is bad enough on it own with out this faff! Cheers

Hi all just to end this story with a positive I finally got the clutch bleed using a pump type sucker jobbie, which a kind local garage let me borrow. Car now drives and I will re bleed in a few weeks once clutch nice and bedded in

I think you can get away with 225 but what ever you do make sure that you have all 4 the same size. If you search you should find a few members that went bigger tyres on 16 wheels :)

Thanks mate, it's very frustrating to say the least! I'm away with work for a few days now but I really hope I can sort it when I'm back. As I said I got it just about drivable earlier yesterday so I know everything works, at least. Will look to get some sort of vacuum bleed kit and report...

Well put the new master cylinder on today and it was better. Was able to drive it off my drive to a slightly better position on the back lane. Which proves it's a hydraulic issue! Decided it just needed to have one last bleed but sadly no luck, got to be air stuck in slave some where!!!! Peddle...

Bleed from which ever low point you like, remove a hose is normally what I do. Replace radiator (easy) replace thermostat (difficult, check forum for guidance) put pipes back on and fill, run till warm then top up. Finally crack open bleed screw (middle back of engine bay in the pipes that go...

The only bushes I think you can replace are the ones in the right hand upper and lower mount. Even then you can only buy Polly. You can buy them whole from various websites but cost a fair bit. Normally the lower right hand side (rear mount) if the one that give issues

Thanks for the reply mate. I did check I could turn the brake disks (wheels) and ird when it was in the air and all seemed ok, of course the engine was off at the time, not right? I think part of the issue could have come as I left the master disconnected over night? I tried again to bleed and...

Hi guys, So I finally got round to doing the clutch in the td4. Took my time and braved the rain and managed to get it all apart new clutch in and back together yesterday. Has a few things to finish today like the gear linkage and refill with fluids. Anyway, all finished wheels on jump in...

Thanks for the info guys! May try and steer him to an l322, the body off to replace a turbo seem a slight over sight on Land-rovers behalf!! He could put I into a garage should it be needed I just like to try and fix stuff for him so he is not ripped off by main dealers etc. He will get a...

Hi guys, Sorry if it's been posted before but the search from the forum app is not so good.. My dad is wanting to buy a Sport, He must have been impressed by my p38 ;) But most of them seem to have the kind of miles that worry me regarding gearboxes! Have you guys experienced the same...
