Well this morning I started the car and quickly checked iat with nanocom it was 15 degrees centigrade, so in good working order. Guess what, no problem with the gearbox on departure, no need to apply full throttle to take off. Will keep a close eye on this for the coming days for sure.

Ah and no maf indeed

Yes cold engine and level check straight after starting

Fluid level gearbox was below low on the dipstick so added a bit. Checked out EDC fault codes while at it and found an issue with iat reading. It said that the intake temperature is too high. So went into menu to check it out, it was 124.6. Of course a false reading, after unplugging and re...

Ok guys for the EAS I had a duff sensor, I repeated calibration but slightly higher for standard height, it doesn’t want to correct heights nearly as much. Gearbox saga continues… After having the transfer case and torque converter replaced everything seemed fine. Up until yesterday when it...

Hi guys, Quick update on the gearbox story. My transfer case is replaced and the torque converter as well. Now the car is shifting gears as normal again finally. I just have a question about the Eas system. I noticed that when driving mainly in highway height the compressor nearly never works...

It sat for long time, then after it was stored in a shed. At first glance the door sills at the back and in the front have rust holes and 1 wheel arch. But then again it is not for restoring only to recover some parts because it’s the same year as mine.

ok thanks for the input guys. A lot of things to consider, i didn't think about the electronics. In the meantime I went looking at another p38 for spares :) guess I got the bug. Not good enough to restore because it needs welding but it is the same year car as mine with more or less the same...

Hi again guys This time I want to pick your brains for some information about the p38 automatic gearbox. I know I have an issue with my current transfer case, I bought a 2nd hand one and I brought it to a local specialist. That was 2 month ago and I’m getting a bit impatient. In the meanwhile...

Very true, in retrospect it was good it happened and especially at home and not somewhere on the road. Now I understand it better there will be less paranoia 😀

I don’t know the root cause of the problem. I changed to the mobiletron rectifier just before all this happened to get a higher charging voltage. The only thing I know is that it happened while trying to lock/unlock the car but that went a little awkward. So i think it is of my own doing.

I had this problem before the engine disabled issues. The transfer box is tired, there are 313kkm on the clock. I found metal in the oil and the oil was very dark. Also it makes a lot noise especially when it’s hot.

Well it doesn't break the bank. I've read it would be better to replace both front latches. I'm glad there is an alternative to the original land rover ones that are quite expensive. If somebody can point me in the right direction for a lhd MG passenger latch for the p38 I'd appreciate it.

Well yeah on to the next repairs 😊 transfer case needs replacing

I set it LHD now it was actually already supposed to be like that

Yes that was the first thing I did 😊

As we speak the car is out of the alarm state and can be started! First I want to thank everybody who chimed in with information and sharing their experiences. Now the solution I hear you think. So all the drivers door latch tests returned good results both old and new. Symptoms: Only...

Hi guys I have found the problem finally!

Found a few minutes tot re-test. Both old and new work well and pass all tests.

Understood, I did the latch test with the sheet from Marty and i have normal results. Also I verified the cabling from the latch towards the outstation, I have good continuity. Then I did the latch test again measuring directly on the outstation. I can measure what I do with the cdl and the...
