Thanks karlos01. I'm only removing the top cover. I believe that it is the next bit down (the actuator, which has elongated screw holes in it) that affects the running of the engine, the gasket there being called the 'positioning gasket'.My understanding is that the top cover (which has small circular holes) only goes on in one position and does not need marking. Only the tamper-proof screw goes through both the top cover and the actuator; the top cover has three short T30 screws into the top of the actuator. Thanks for confirming that the 7mm socket is the one I need. That is what I thought.

the tamper screw does go through the top and middle sections t30 screws on the top I would still mark both just incase something moves out of line it is a p38 after all lol I marked mine just to be on the safe side

no I don't think it does as some of that voltage goes back to the battery

welcome to the group as people have already mentioned there are some knowledgeable people in the group and I'm sure you pass on your knowledge to

juts remember to mark the too of the pump with the engine when you take the top off the way you can line it up nd shouldn't have to use a dial to reset the pump

it can be done just watch the video a few times

yeah it will have a maf sensor would be just under the inlet manifold

I would get it fixed/replaced if you know someone that way you know it shouldn't fail on it

can be done by attaching a gauge to the air tank line

You will have to connect it to the blue pipe from the compressor. But it will not be causing a soft fault. If you take the blue pipe off the compressor and put your finger over the outlet and it blows your finger off no matter how much pressure you put on it, air pressure is good enough. If you can stop it compressor needs refurb. There are no fault codes for compressor operation. It either gives enough air to charge the system or it doesn't.

have a look around the injector pump and the injectors for a sign of leaking first mate
the main places the injector pump leaks is the top seal middle one or the head one the head one is the one with the pipes to the injectors

they basically telling you to fit a hot box to the p38 it fools the timing ot the ecu that the engine is cold even though engine is hot thus keeping the glow plug cycle running on every time the engine is turned over
hope this helps

next time before you start open the bonnet and have look at the clear pipe from filter to the pump get someone to turn the key while you cheack I had a leaking injection pump on mine and was a pig to start took a good 20-30 seconds of turning over to start

If it’s a Range Rover Sport it’ll be an L320, if it’s a full size Range Rover it’ll be an L322.

Both very different cars as the Sport is basically a Discovery whereas the L322 is unique to itself.

Does your car have a split tailgate like the P38?

it's the L320 sports model with the split tailgate

merry Christmas to you to

Richard tou hit the nail on the head I believe when you take a trailer test it should teach weight distribution and the test should be done with a loaded trailer
when I did my class 2 hgv test it was in a empty 12t box lorry luckily I had driven loads before so knew abit more about pulling away and breaking distance would be greatly affected
