Reinhoud

Thanks for your reply. It was a little bit of a puzzle doing the wiring, because of the 2 extra wires, the rest was easy. There is a wiring loom, to the starter motor, and a section goes to the injection and alternator, that was easy. But there where also 2 thick separate wires going from battery to starter motor and alternator. When you just look at your engine, you probably won't even notice it. When you take a closer look at the back of the alternator, you should see if there are 2 wires or 1. Because I have never seen this before with a car, and the wires are not put in afterwards it confused me a bit, that's why I like to know if it's a P38 thing.

Hi, My name is Reinhoud, 43 yo, I live in Tasmania, I'm a Dutch immigrant, so if my English isn't all that, you know my excuse.. Last year I bought a Range Rover P38 (4.6 HSE 1996) from the local wreckers. Exterior quite alright, racing green, interior, beige leather almost immaculate for $400 with a stuffed engine, heads, radiator and key missing, abandoned by a mainlander. Meanwhile, I've got it running, without having a key! Top hat liners, high comp 4.0 pistons and a mild cam, heads ported. My questions; do all P38's have an immobilizer? If not, how close does the key have to be to the ignition for it to engage the immobilizer? 2nd question; does the P38 have double/twin wires from the battery to the starter motor and the alternator?
