Hi All
New to this forum, so be kind☺
Took the plunge, bought a P38 Diesel manual (on a whim!)
Well impressed so far, done a few jobs, good car to work on
But, I cannot figure out the idle, when starting from cold idle is 1200rpm, after about a minute settles down to 900rpm
Now it idles great when warm, when hot, and when very hot but at 900rpm !
Rave says 750rpm, at 900rpm its seems to fast
Car runs great, checked for airleaks none, does not appear smokey, disconnected hot start fix no change
What to check next?
Thanks
Whiskey

Your system is fly by wire ( no cable) so will need to go on diagnostics., where abouts are you, might be someone nearby with a nanocom that can help.
I’m a little concerned by your hot, and very hot comment, it should sit around halfway on the temp gauge.

Hi Whiskey,

Mine was running at 850 ish and a mate with a Nanocom changed it to 750rpm. I have a Nanocom now but for the life of me I can't remember how to change the idle speed setting!

Thanks " no10chris" and "Mukiwa"
Very quick to reply☺
The comment about "hot was because i was stuck in traffic the other day and the temp only just gets into the normal bit but with the summer heat plus sitting in traffic the temp went up to about 3/4 and stayed there, idle still at 900 rpm, never missed a beat
I am in Somerset by the way
Thanks

It shouldn't go up as far as 3/4 - it may be a dodgy sensor, or a plumbing or fan issue. It would be an idea to check the temp using the same diagnostics to see what its actually registering. It should also be sitting around normal once warmed up, not right down at the bottom of the gauge, that to me suggests some sort of thermostat issue (if its been removed by someone previously then it will take longer to warm up than it should, which won't help any).

Hi all
With no diagnostic tools to play with....
I changed the green temp sensor and the thermostat
Result - quicker warm up and the temp needle bang in the middle of the gauge
But - still idles at 900 rpm!
Can any body recomend a Land Rover Garage who know what they are doing in Somerset?
Thanks Whiskey
