Which version did you print ?? Even the "One File PDF" for P38 is >> 5000 pages !!

Search for the "RAVE All Models" version. Unzip the file, and open "rave-lr.pdf" instead of the exe file.

Works on my Win & Mac-OSX laptops. I guess it will work on Linux as well.

In case it helps someone in future . . . . (not me cos I will not buy a diseasel.)

Set new ECU to robust mode:
This function only works on brand new EDC ECUs which
are delivered from the factory in a non-configured mode (factory mode), before they
can be used on a vehicle they have to be configured to either require a mobilization
code before they will work (robust), or to work regardless of any other factor (nonrobust).
This function sets a brand new EDC ECU to robust mode. It should be noted that
this function is only able to be performed once due to a restriction within the design of
the EDC ECU itself. It is therefore important that the correct choice is made.

Can't see how it can bend !! Isn't it a casting ?

I have also had guys with no idea how to setup a steering box system, or why he couldn't adjust one end of the track rod !! Luckily I found another place nearby with an older & wiser alignment guy.

Sounds like a reasonable way to get close enough. Interestingly most of the Amazon brands quote 1/16" accuracy, whereas others like DeWalt, Stanley, etc. all say +/-3mm.

Makes me wonder how accurate the tyre centre systems really are ?

Might be on this page: AC Stag Download center

Seems to be the usual cuts into injector wiring, plus a bunch of other stuff ?

Generally just the side panels off to access the corrogated pipe, but it easier with HEVAC controller out. That way you can get two hands on them.

Mine often fell off, so I put them in a cup of hot water for 15 mins & then stretched them a bit before re-fitting. Much better now & the puddles are under the car as they should be.

Totally agree with the above. It can makes sense for peeps that do lot's of high mileage in Europe, but in the UK it's seems to be harder & harder to find LPG.

My project P38 had a Prins multipoint LPG installed when I got it, be never bothered to get it working since rebuuilding the engine, although all the parts are installed again. My nearest outlet is inside ULEZ, so no sense in going there.

Best ignore the Spot Colours these days, because many get changed by eBay sellers. Generation is what matters:

  • Single PCB = Gen-1
  • Single PCB with metal shield = Gen-2
  • Dual PCB = Gen-3

Receiver Types

You need real time diagnostic data to check the O2 sensors. They should be switching voltage up & down 0-5V if I remeber correctly.

What are the fuel trim values ?

I was having AC leak issues on one of mine a few year back. As the system was completely empty, no dye in it & needed a new dryer, I used compressed air to do the test. Filled it to about 8bar, and then used soapy water. Found the leak pretty quick on the condenser. Swapped that & the dryer, and whe nre-gassing asked them to do the vacuum for extra time to be sure !! Yes Gilbert, I know it's wrong !!

Worked fine for 2-3 years, and then got another leak. got it checked & regassed, but was low again after about 4-6 weeks. No signs of leaks or dye anywhere this time, but noticed the compressor getting noisy behind the clutch. Took clutch off & hey-ho there was the leak. Not enough for the dye to get all over the compressor, but enough to lose the gas.

My other P38 still has vacuum on it after 2-3 months so will be re-gassing that soon.

In case anyone doesn't know, the way Nanocom & EAS Unlock both connect to the ECU for diagnostics, is by toggling the timer relay (via pin-1 on the diag connector). This causes the EAS ECU to reset (hence the beeps), and Nanocom or EASunlock sends the diagnostic sequence. Sending the sequence without power cycling the ECU does not connect - hence why 4-pin relay blocks diag connections.

In the "EAS - System Information Document" it lists the possible fault messages according to LR.

ECU SELF DIAGNOSTIC LIMITATIONS

The ECU may seem to misdiagnose a problem. This is due to the limited number of inputs
on which to base decisions. Because of the similarity of symptoms, multiple faults may be
registered where only one is actually present. The following is a summary of alternative
interpretations of a registered fault message:

• Height sensor above or below has no alternatives.
• Engine speed has no alternatives.
• Road speed has no alternatives.
• Front valve stuck open has no alternatives.
• Rear valve stuck open has no alternatives.
• Inlet valve stuck open has no alternatives.
• Pressure switch on may be confused with inlet valve stuck closed or rear valve stuck
closed.
• Pressure switch stuck off may be confused with compressor failure.
• Compressor failure may be confused with inlet valve stuck closed, exhaust valve
stuck open.
• Front valve stuck closed may be confused with inlet valve stuck closed or exhaust
valve stuck closed
Rear valve stuck closed may be confused with inlet valve stuck closed or exhaust
valve stuck closed.
• Exhaust valve stuck closed may be confused with front valve stuck closed or rear
valve stuck closed.

Probably a glitch in the data stream, rather than the ECU reporting it.

They will not contact you. You should have a login on their main page, which will give access to SW updates, and your license codes.

Latest version is 1.37 and has a windows installer. Simply run that & then plug in the Nanocom. It will guide you through the process, but do read the instructions just in case !!

When you press the switch to drop or raise the car, so you see the flashing target LED ? If not then suspect the footwell connectors.

If the LEDS do flash, then the driver pack to solenoid connection (underneath valve block) is probably bad, or the driver pack capacitors are failing.

Depends when you bought it. I'v had 4 or 5 new versions on mine.

Has the car always done this since you bought it ? If so, I would check the wire colours in the connectors in case somebody has been messing with them.

When checking with 12V on C152, apart from clicking how are you checking the correct valve opens ? Easiest way is to unscrew the solenoid tops, but leave them in place. Then when applying 12V, lift the solenoid off & check it was that one operating.

With the Inlet & Exhaust open at same time it will dump tank air out the exhaust, unless the diaphragm is on. As soon as the pump kicks in, it should close the diaphragm preventing air escaping even with both In & Ex open.

One other thing that causes random extended height while driving, is intermittent connections on the driver pack connector. Changing driver packs doesn't help, because the issue is loose socket contacts. The fix is to carefully remove each socket contact (one at a time), and gently squeeze them to get a better connection on the pins.

The reason for extended height, is because the dumb ECU fails to see height changes when opening valves, and initially assumes the chassis is grounded. Mine does this, but as long as I spot the flashing height switch in time & press down it's ok. If I miss the flashing, it will go over extended, and go into soft-fault mode. Ignition off-on will resolve it . . . .BUT . . . if I cannot stop & do that, it will eventually go fully faulted & require Nanocom reset.

I also bought some on eBay seller RTG Automotive. One failed after about 6 months, and the seller replace immediately for free. Such good service I bought another pair for the other P38.

ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Front Fits Land Rover Range (1994-2002)

Concern:
Cooling System Leaks

Defect:
There is a possibility of premature failure of the cooling system hoses and throttle body heater gasket. Expelled coolant allowed to remain on hot engine components can result in the evaporation of the water content and leave an artificially high concentration level of anti - freeze which is in extreme circumstances both corrosive and inflammable.

Remedy:
Recall affected vehicles to replace cooling system hoses / throttle body heater gasket with quality assured parts.
