I deleted mine (after trying to repair the ridiculous plastic tracks) by disconnecting the motor and sealing the sunroof surround. I’d kind of like to have it working but I think it’s more money and work than it’s worth.

My 4.6 P38 gets similar fuel mileage as Richard is saying for his 4.0 (19-20), and that’s over our fairly steep local mountain passes travelling 120-130kmh. My 4.0 Disco does about 2mpg poorer and it can’t keep up to the P38. It is a big box compared to the Rangie.

Definitely the right choice to let your wife drive it. Of course she will love it and never want you to get rid of it.

Well done Don!

Good to know.

Thanks for the thorough write up Richard.
I have a question about the rubber parts of our pre-99 fuel systems being capable of withstanding ethanol. I remember reading somewhere that they may not be, I don’t think this was specific to LR though.

Very true!

Your definitely an inspiration Richard!

I would suspect the K&N filter to be the culprit. I have one in my carbureted motorcycle but I think the oil in the filter gums up EFI sensors. I think in theory if you put the minimum amount of oil on the filter it may be okay but I’m pretty sure I would over oil it every time.

I recently had the same fault. I sprayed the MAF sensor with MAF sensor cleaner. So far so good but it’s only been a couple of weeks so I can’t say that I solved it for sure.

The more heavily loaded you are, the more pressure you’ll need. Empty you need around 100psi. I doubt that you’d ever need 120, but the system runs at 150.

I teed into each line that goes to the wheels and put Schraeder valves in them. It works great. You may not need to do this for your test run though, as it may all work just fine.

Thanks for that Marshall. I printed a copy so I have it when the time comes.

Wow, I didn’t know I could get front TC. Lack of 4 wheel TC is really the only thing that I had wished a Bosch P38 for.

Do you now have front TC on a GEMS P38?

Isn’t carpet tape 2 sided? I used Gorilla tape, also black and stronger and way longer lasting than regular duct tape.

It’s a few years ago but I think I used Vaseline.

That’s great info. Thanks Tom.

Sloth, if you ever get to it I’ll certainly be interested in a fob. I’ve only ever had one and I don’t know if it’s a #1 or 2.

I came to the same point with my 2A last year. It was in great shape and I got a decent dollar for it, but I have no idea what a non running forward control is worth. They might be pretty sought after as overlanders.
