    New to forum, old in all other ways!

    Stuffed battery and crank handle behind the seat perhaps? :confused:

    P38 Air suspension

    Thanks guys, that's useful detail. 1sps is probably sufficient for most purposes, and if it can log all of that simultaneously then I expect someone will have done what I was going to do, so there's perhaps little point in me doing it. I was mumbling to myself over reducing the sample rate...

    Series 3 Clonk! .. Eh? ... corners to the right ..Clonk!

    Yep, I'd agree with @Bobsticle - check those spring shackles/bolts/bushes for wear or breakage. I've also had diff housings come loose on the springs, particularly when the centering bolt wears or breaks. None of these things will necessarily look obvious at first glance but could easily clonk...

    P38 Air suspension

    That's an interesting plot @Grrrrrr but I don't see brake data? I'm not familiar with the Nanocom but is it able to plot (foot)brake, exhaust, inlet, sensor in x 4, and individual corner valves simultaneously? This was something I was going to do with my development P38 this weekend (my own...

    P38 Air suspension

    @Grrrrrr Thanks for providing some detail about what you think. Purely as discussion I have to say I don't agree with you. In the P38 EAS ECU I don't believe there is any ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement) or similar per other, generally later, vehicles and as such it won't adjust as you...

    Really? Why is it dangerous? Why is it nonsense?

    P38 Air suspension

    I'm amused - because of course "you are quite right again dear Wammers"! However I did leave some detail out of my post in the interests of not making it too complex: Anything that reduces the ride height (reduction at 30/50 mph, or the dreaded re-level per 6hr) will mean that air needs to be...

    P38 Air suspension

    If your compressor is on the the way out then I'd reduce it's need to kick in as much as possible. IMV the stock EAS control makes rather to much of a meal of ride height adjustment, and constantly wants to mess with that throughout a journey, and when the vehicle is parked (every six hours)...

    Other Tools

    Interesting, mine catastrophically failed three weeks ago. There was no warning, perfectly fine that morning, hosing out later in the day. It wasn't a plastic one though, problem was the seal and of course you can't get kits for these things nowadays...

    We don't have the same rust problem here as you do in the UK, so there are a few relatively pristine Alfa's still around. I know this because I often notice them on the side of the road with the bonnet up :eek:. Mind you I just purchased my 50th LR (a P38) after seeing that on the side of the...

    P38 Nanocom

    @odyssey Did you ever get around to checking the connections on your green cable, or can anyone confirm that they've made a cable up according to the posted detail and have it work ok? I'd also be interested to know if anyone has discovered what the pinouts are for the CAN BUS cable? I've...

    At the risk of a little thread drift; I have this concept of something I call 'currency', which applies to many people in my life, and would apply here IMV. Currency is something that's built up over time, it's a combination of trust, kindness, truthfulness, helpfulness, reliability and a stack...

    @pete12345 Happy to help but you've a fairly long way to drive methinks!

    I trust the message here reaches the recalcitrant who has the original set of tools! FWIW I have a person rule that I don't lend tools, nor will I borrow them (neither a borrower nor a lender be!), but I am happy to 'lend' me with the requisite tool for the job. That way the person in need is...

    Pre or Post 2007?

    I've got a '14 Defender. I like the motor, it pulls well from low, and there's a nice 6-speed box, also a plus IMV. I've not maxed it out but it's very happy at the legal limit here, or even a little more (cough). I'm also happy with the fact that it's essentially Transit running gear. It means...

    P38A All smoke, no poke >_<

    @Grrrrrr Thanks, I'm a little amused to note that here in NZ a number of aviation folk I know seem to have Land Rovers too. Not sure what, if any, particular relationship there is but the 'incidence' seems higher than what I'd expect on average - and I do have a reasonable sample rate because in...

    P38A All smoke, no poke >_<

    Well said :) As it happens although I don't use the term often I do so enough to shorten it. At the risk of a little thread drift, from Wikipedia: "the ratio is known as the stoichiometric mixture, often abbreviated to stoich" You raise an interesting point that I'd need to think about, it's...

    P38A All smoke, no poke >_<

    Well spotted, I would have thought the engine ECU would have dealt with the altered airflow [it's a fairly simple setup with those pre-egr machines] and it wouldn't have black-smoked but perhaps it's sufficiently outside the normal parameters for it to cope. I guess the incoming air won't be as...

    P38A Another eas question

    @Wazzajnr - does this happen immediately, every time? If so then it should be fairly straightforward to replicate the problem and see if the issue occurs via command from the EAS ECU (and in turn whether there's any particular input to the EAS ECU that's causing that command to occur), or if...
