Kudos for adding up your repairs and fuel chaps..
I couldn't do that!
Nice.
My radio doesn't work due to the missing amp, I'll push mine to Peterborough and you can do mine LOL
"just kidding"
Ahem..
Wouldn't mind it myself.
I'm guessing its a tad leggy though with that mileage!
I was on the road to Tarrington today when a nice looking red P38 coming the other way gave a wave!
Same happened yesterday with a green and a blue one!
Made me grin i'm not gonna lie..
You don't see that with other land rovers, not even my D2!
Anyone else have this with other P38s?
H
Just a query guys..
I've had three pumps on this car..
1 The pump I bought her with which had a white label on the motor housing
2 A POS Dunlop unit
3 My current pump which has a green/white label on it..
How many manufactures were there for the EAS pumps for the P38?
Out today for a run up and down the M5 for work and I note the fuel gauge hasn't moved after around 60mi thats odd i thought!!
I happened to glance over to my LPG indictor and it had switched over "unbeknown to me" a few miles back...
One thing I should stress is the LPG system hasn't worked in over 2 yrs It stopped working just after I bought the car!!
Don't know why it has decided to work now, It does run superb on the stuff though, you can balance a coin on the intake manifold.
Gotta start buying LPG now, If i can find a pump!
Hopefully it keeps working!
Height sensor fiitted.
Didn't even have to calibrate it..
Weird..
Wonder if it works?!
Oh did forget..
She needs the rear bumper mounts welding!
When I bought my massive white/blue elephant a few years ago I felt a great paranoia about how unreliable these P38's were known to be..
Over the past few months I've been replacing components on the almost daily basis "no joke" as it seems if I replace one thing something immediately falls right the hell off..
For example..
A few weeks ago She plummeted to the bumpstops due to a bad compressor, no biggie I thought so a rebuilt unit was fitted...
Literally 2 days later another "beep beep" EAS fault and it turned out I needed to replace the valveblock O rings due to a massive leak emerging from one of my O rings lol so I did that and she was fine for another week until I get to my current issue!
Which I hope to be fixed tomorra when a new sensor comes!
I won't mention the suspension bushes that disintegrated or the headliner that dropped when i had the sunroof open and filled the car with orange dust that got into my eyes and throat!
So while snot sneezing and tearing up like a right bastard, I was blind - good times...
The alternator and all the idlers failed..
Blend motors went to shit..
Sunroof pissed water in "fixed"
The list goes on
BECM fail..
pollen filters leaking "fixed"
Seized VCU
Whiny diff(s)
Rear calliper's that seized, and a pad that flew out and rendered the rear left caliper inoperative so I had to drive home with 1 working caliper.
Exhaust blow "fixed"
etc
Battery failed straight after I replaced the suspension.....
LOL
I seem to be bonding with this thing the more it breaks the more I like it!
A great distraction, I don't even get mad when it breaks!
Perhaps I've gone mad..
Everyone that knows me frequently remarks that it is cursed!
Maybe it is supernatural!
Anyway..
Back to reality.
H
Good to know lol
Ok cheers.
After spending 20mins just fiddling with it..
One thing i've noticed is..
On one end of the scale is reads 1.18 however if I cycle the arm back and forth this changes to 0.69 if it is moved again it reads back to 1.18 kOhms
Odd..
One end of the scale is teetering between 1.18 and 0,69 - The opposite end of the scale is steady at 2.45 kOhms.
Thanks.
The track in mine reads 1.27 on the 20k scale
would a low resistance be an issue on one of these sensors do you think?
one end on the track is 1.25 and the opposite end is 2.45 it doesn't go near 0 at any point
The only time it goes to near 0 is on the 2000k setting on my meter..
Ahh cheers.
So i'm assuming the far left pin is one half or the track and the far right pin is the other?
or am I mistaken?
On the 2000 ohm setting it would go open circuit at around half way, if I switched my lead from the far right pin to the far left it would start reading again.
On the 20k Setting it would register 1.20 to 2.45 through it's travel. that is if I kept the common lead on the middle and positive lead on the right pin it doesn't go open circuit on the 20k scale
Hmm.
Hard to explain this!!! lol
One issue my car has is a "valve stuck" fault..
It says RH front i'm assuming it is RH from the drivers seat?
Or is it when you're looking at the car from the front?
The oddity is..
Using the 2000 scale on my Ohm meter, when the arm gets to this point...
Measuring the pin from the far right of my pic and the middle one, it gets to a point in its travel where it clicks slightly and goes open circuit, If I shift my common lead to the far left pin it continues to read etc 7
From this point it goes open circuit and I have to shift leads.
When on the 20k scale it is quite smooth it ranges from 1.20 to 2.45
On the 2000 scale it is a tad jumpy...
Am i barking up the wrong tree?
H
PS
That is the front right "as you sit in the drivers seat"
I do hope that is the "right front" lol
Right,,
Thanks.
I'm looking online at some sensors, are they all the same for the front? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lopbinte-Height-Assembly-Suspension-ANR4686/dp/B08B5TB8V8/ref=sr_1_12?crid=JW5D28CG4TPI&dchild=1&keywords=range+rover+p38+air+suspension&qid=1602525119&sprefix=p38+sus%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-12
ANR4686?
refitted a new driver pack and tested all the solenoids all ok..
Only issue is she's still faulting, I do notice it is only when it rains and she hits a puddle!
Same stuck closed fault. .
Could it be Height sensor related?
Looks like a pucker P38!
Don't see many 400k P38s
She'll probably see 1 mil before long lol
Right.
Thanks Richard
smart looking motor that
It is no secret that my paint is slowly deteriorating, and before anyone says it is because you polish it too much, I use Wax mainly so no degradation ;)
The reason I ask is how the hell do you remove the plastic lower sill covers
These things 
Another issue is my drivers side one is bulging out from the body near the front mudflap for whatever reason and it looks rather odd..
Next up i'm it a windscreen out job to do the roof properly?
Thanks
