Found out today that 4.0 literally is ulez compliant yet 4.6 isn't So how's that then Should mean 4.0 will be worth more --- as far as p38s go anyway
I've built a 4.6/3.9 hybrid V8 the engine starts runs no leaks But idle is up & down I've sprained cleaner on joints for leaks--- none found ---- could it be stepper motor?
Ventured out in vogue today and met a guy with a DSE --- it was nice but the bloke was a real fruitloop ---- he was going on about how changing the fuse to ECU gives you about 50 hp
Didn't bother telling him that I oversee engine building/tuning for marine use
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas time with your loved ones too
I stupidly used the vogue today and broke the fold down plastic panel that comes down with the tailgate ---- need to know what it's called so can get a replacement ---- all the hinges broke off the thing
As header stated mates got a dies hell and he got blowbye from 1/3/4 injectors --- he needs new seals but can't locate any --- part number might help too ---- it's definitely blowbye got nothing to do with return pipes in case you were thinking that 👍
Happy Easter to you all and your loved ones ---- this year can only get better for everyone --- summer soon and beating covid 19 slowly so should be able to get out and drive and enjoy your vehicle's again

I've seen it and very tidy vehicle that runs quite nice ---- so if anyone wants a low miles tidy P38 give him a call --- he offered it to me but I'm not after a P38
Just wondering ---- vogue hazard switch is black ---- mates DSE switch is red ---- how come ---- red better so why mine black ? Anybody know ?
Went to use vogue earlier and my heated window switches dont work neither do the heated seats I've checked fuses so any ideas ---- I am seriously considering calling it a day with it now --- getting to be very unreliable and bloody cold too
Just wanted to wish all of you and your loved ones a merry Christmas especially as this year has been a challenge to say the least
As title says ---- this is a mates DSE My suggestion of bin it and get a V8 didn't go well ---- it's a BMW engine and I don't like them having blown 6 m57 derived versions ---- might be good in cars but crap in marine use ---- Toyota far better So any suggestions would be great help to mark and his DSE
I've come to the conclusion my 300 TDI will replace my vogue from now on ---- the P38 refused to start so had recovery come ---- eventually it started checked for faults ---- none Today on way home gearbox went into fault mode ? Had no display of gear on dash ---- I can't be dealing with unreliable vehicle so sticking with 300 TDI at least that is easy to work on
My mate mark got a DSE that would stall on selecting gears from park !? It didn't want to shift gears properly either so took it to a guy who put it on a computer and said fuel out of phase ? --- he said pump/injectors ? I asked him to get into gearbox ECU he said he couldn't 🤔 we fitted my vogue gearbox ECU and straight away computer got access ---- so after getting another DSE ECU the whole DSE transformed itself into a smooth gearchanging nice running range rover ----- still can't understand why/how ECU had failed
Can anyone recommend were to get the saddle color from ---- tried a guy who has loads of ads on eBay but he never got back to me ---- I need some so can sell my vogue
As you know I've got a 99 vogue (1 of 30 made in Oxford blue) I've now got a land rover discovery 300tdi 7 seater no sunroof model 🙄 it's mechanically sound just rust ---- quick weld up and then ready for granddaughter 1st car ---- what you guys think ?
Had a classic car club member showing me news about how / when the E5 fuel is replaced by E10 that loads of cars won't run on it --- unless £s spent on modifying them ----- how will this effect all p38s petrol and diesel engines ?
Hi everyone I got a tip to come here from range rover.net --- second best bit of advice I've ever had --- 1st was getting a P38
