Hi Lukas, thats great thanks for the info, the car is basically an ongoing project not a daily runner so we will look at all aspectes of getting her back to her best over the coming months, she has done 370K kilometres so i assume everything has been changed at least once in the time hahah

Thanks datatek yes now we know she runs plus eas is functioning it's worth investing it appears I would be only person on Algarve with one so could be usefull to others

Im obvs mistaken not sure why i thought that maybe was thinking of a differnt car altogether, final question lol can timing chains be changed with head on or is it top end strip down again if we decided to change them. I have a rave downloaded now which i will now study but your answers are very...

Thanks Wammers, very strange, bridged fuse with wire she fired first turn, (isnt the fip somehow not engaged if glow plugs not working, im sure i read that somewhere) needs timing doing as running rough, i am assuming bottom end of engine untouched am i right in thinking get cam timed 4.61 left...

So large fuse in ECU housing cooked, can this be bridged temporarily to see if car tries to fire, i assume this fuse blowing means no ECU.

So large fuse in the ECU seems to off been blown, i know not ideal but can i temporarily bridge this with fuse wire, im assuming this fuse means no ECU

Thanks will keep trying here to find one

He just wasted my time last time and didn't bring right diag tool even though I told him specifically the car, then drove off and didn't come back, never seen him since. Anyone else you can recommend , I dont even mind paying someone for the use of a tool I can use them just dont have one.

No that again was the first one, he came to my house and looked then left saying was going to get his other diagnosis equipment then never came back. We only got this car about a month ago.

Morning Shippers, im just outside Paderne, where abouts are you? No the first P38 i posted about on here was someone elses, but it was our success with that, after fitting a new BECM from Rick the pick in UK, that has actually led us to being given this one hahahah.

Would be great if someone with a nanacom was local I've asked maybe 20 local garages and they dont have the equipment

Great thanks I'll check them out online

I'm assuming there is no way of knowing by running other tests to confirm if that the issue for instance would HEVAC not work or lights or something else we could use to confirm

Thanks datatek, where would u recommend we look dont really fancy chancing ebay and getting an empty box from China is tgere any reputable uk companies I could contact also what sort of money we talking.

Hi guys I know this is a thread that's been covered before but just wanted to get some clarifications. 1996 P38 2.5 dse manual. Car was given to me as a project during lockdown I am based in Algarve Portugal, so very limited to anything here other than going to main dealer!! I dont know anyone...

Thanks for the reply Wammers, i have indeed read through the link you suggested and downloaded RAVE very helpful but as i am unsure how a P38 should operate under normal circumstances, i am possibly missing something obvious. I am getting just over 12 volts to the Fuse box under bonnet and 12...

I am getting power through the fuse box to the fuel pump fuse, but to be honest there are so many different electrical things not working i fear its something more serious possibly ECU or BeCM, i have central locking (except fuel flap lock), headlights and indicators, i can also get engine...

Update on the above, i had a dud battery, this has now been replaced and the car cranks perfectly however it appears i am getting some electrical system and not others, i have central locking, headlights, indicators, horn, but no windows, sunroof, fuel filler cap, stereo, air con, heated seats...

Hi I am a brand new Range Rover owner and against much advice decided to take on a P38 problem car that has been sat idle for over 6 months with the engine disabled (owner didnt have the EKA) here on the Algarve in Southern Portugal after a local mechanic crippled the car fitting a new fuel pump...
