  1. Ladies, Gents collective. Firstly, Big brother- If this is not allowed i am deeply sorry and feel free to move/ remove this post as appropriate. Now, Recently I gained a new project, 4.6 P38 of 1995 vintage. It was supposed to be a fun project that my son and I could enjoy prior to selling and moving to a new toy. Unfortunately, COVID happened and i am 'Bored' of the project. The engine now runs (fuel pump) and the vehicle moves under its own power. Sadly this means that the 4 height sensors and Black box that sits in the Air suspension system needs to be sourced and fitted, (was hoping to sell the removed LPG kit and Coil spring conversion to pay for these parts. Then to my untrained eye the Rangey could get 4 new tires (replace two air bags) and an MOT prior to being sold. Problem is the V8 now runs and no one wants to buy the bits. Sooooooo. Does anyone want to swap projects? Really i want a defender..... I know.... please stop laughing. I am just trying my luck. Proposing a swap. All my range rover bits and P38 with fun V8 for a defender project. Once you stop laughing i look forward to the replies (i know i will get some abuse but be gentle) Thanks
  2. And it was fuse 1 all along.. now I feel like a complete novice. Still onwards and sideways.. fuel leak and radio not outputting sound. Thanks all
  3. Rave manual download is my homework then. Hopefully I can find some time to look through it!!
  4. Ok. The Mrs says I have played enough for one day 🤦‍♂️🤔 so I will look at that tomorrow. Thanks for the prompt response.
  5. Gents, ladies and collective. My apologies if this has been covered. However... I have been playing with a p38 it has been stood around for quite some time. And so far I have played enough that the engine starts and it moves under its own power 😁 but.... What I now have is the hevac blinking on and off. The dash seems to pulse. The fuel gauge pulses with the hevac. The warning lights on the bottom left also blink all be it dimly. If I turn on indicators the pulsing changes frequency. My first thought was an earth, I checked the one in the footwell and seems ok. Now I am stumped. Equally I have no sound from my radio. If that is related?! It is a 1996 4.6 V8 auto. Any help or suggestions would be epic. thanks in advance Gareth
  6. That's what I thought but there is no obvious place that it fits / reaches. The closest available is the Schrader valve on the fuel rail! I am very perplexed, but thanks for the shot!
  7. Good morning, Like many of you I have been playing with my project, I have however found a loose pipe. Where should the other end be attached? She is a 4.6 p38. 1996. Thanks in advance. Gareth
  8. And yet, If we were to all add up the amount of money one or two of us have spent on our land rovers over just one year, you will most likely come close. as was said land rover should treasure the more utility side of their family.
  9. I dont know about that! If they were to provide a few of us with free samples! I would like to put my name forward! We could fit them to our vehicel and test. that might make up for it a little.
  10. One thing i neverunderstood, Why a company does not have a loss leader on this forum. The amount of us who require doors could purchase them at a reduced cost, get the sales for the compay up, we get new doors and possibly even have a nice sticker on our pride and joys to show others who produced the parts. Or am i just waisting my days with pipe dreams?
  11. coincidence co·in·ci·dence /koʊˈɪnsɪdəns/ Show Spelled [koh-in-si-duhns] Show IPA noun a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance: Our meeting in Venice was pure coincidence. No i dont think so!
  12. If it is the turbo then you know! If not the list just grows! Injector pump? scored bores? Lift pump? Mine was a mixture!
  13. Remove the rubber hose where it attaches to the turbo (the silver thing on the right hand side of your engine as you look from the front) With rubber hose removed you can now look into the turbo intake (compressor vanes looks like a fan) if you see oil (black fluid) get your finger in (should of said turn engine off first) Try to wiggle the fan, if it moves there is apossibility your turbo is on the way out! win! If not it is the breather pumping oil gas in! There is a potential bodge, butdo that first. Will try to find a pic and attach it next
  14. It could be a bad sign, the 19j is reneowned for feeding off its own oil before dying, Check the intake for traces of oil, hope for none. i am hoping with you
  15. I think the Golden Rule, if you take nothing else away, is Always have a back up. and check everything at least twice. Get used to turning things off. Tell others of your plans and stick to routes and times as best you can. Sounds simple stuff, but it works.
