i just went and retrieved two p38s one complete the other parts 400km trip one tank of fuel in the evening so lights on . how would that go in electric land ?
i looked at the vehicles that Richard put a link to , all the ones that had towing capacity had fuel pumps so not really electric, but i wonder if their would be access to the fuel pump through the floor?

i have a set of those rims on a wreck i just picked up, also have a set of 22'' yes thats right 22'' on another wreck with 50mm profile tyres , how to waist money. will try to load pics later.

you have to use the original bell housing, and yes it bolts strait on but if you want to use the v8 TC you have to modify the bell housing so you can do up the bolts , this where he got stuck , the bigger TC dosent quite fit and you have to drill a hole in the side to get access to the bolts.
the original gear box ripped up the pump and TC so it destroyed the box, its a common fault .

that;s what he is doing except he got some dodgy advise and got stuck with the bolts on the flex plate , didnt know he had to cut a hole in bell housing to do them up with other things . have directed him to Ashcrofts and i will pay more attention with the job
PS this is an upgrade using the hp22 TC out of the p38 , it also needs to be remapped .

yes the electronic set ups are for models that didnt have the electronics to start with , this is a D2 so has the electronics to run the EH box .

have forgot to ask about this , he struck a problem and stopped, couldn't get to the bolts , will give some direction for the info he needs as he couldn't find it ,he was also told that he would need a computer to run it but i think that is only required if you don;t have an electronic model eg defender .

hi dave spoke with dale about his issue , he has replaced the intank pump but it did not fix the problem . asked about the 3rd pump apparently there is a intank pump an external pump outside the tank and the main pressure pump?have looked for leaks but did not find anything. he is using SCOPE as his diagnostics (i think thats what it was called) runs through a dongle to a phone app, appeared to work ok. just a side note i think i heard it miss a couple of times but this could have been the ac kicking in but it didnt sound right ?

or not need a fuel pump!

so what is the towing capacity off an electric 4wd, 3500kg is the base limit , my shack is 300km return , sorry not really an option is it .

yes that's very right Richard , if i was to buy a new car today i really don't know what i would actually buy but it would hopefully have access to the fuel pump 😁 😁

the big reason for these issues is the cost , you do know that every p38 sold was sold at a loss , i think it was a billion dollars or more loss. it was the cost factor why they didn't put the 4.4 v8 in along with other things . but a hole in the floor for access to the fuel pump would be handy .to look at it in hindsight now and comment is easy. you have to make the odd mistake to learn what not to do or how to do it properly. if it was made today it would be different , well i would hope so ....

i brought some shit part shocks , its all in the name! just saying.

for those that don't know what the gap is for , it tells the ecu where top dead center is on start up, so it knows where it is and when to fire.

when my switch pack stopped i started by using the multi meter from the power pin in to the next hole in the board to find where the power stopped ,(use the ohm setting) just follow the the tracks on the board. my problem was the holes in the board had gone green and the corrosion had eaten the copper track away in the hole under the vanish in several places . you may have to scratch off the varnish to get a good contact , just use the probe from the multi meter , be careful not to damage the track . when you find the fault just soldier a wire from the power side to the other side
PS i went and purchased the correct wire ,soldier and also a set of drills(get the ones with the plastic knobs) to clean out the green holes from an electronic hobby shop, made it an easy job, cost about $20 all up . happy hunting.

if you had solid tires you would defiantly fix the eas and not go for coils . the ride would be atrocious . fork lifts have an injected sold rubber Tyre if you would like to be the our test dummy, but they still wear out and are outrageously difficult to change 😃
is there a reason why my emoji is not in color and when did we get emojis. i found them when i tried to make a face.
they change colour when you press reply 😉

hi dave thanks for the reply , i will look into the things you mention ,also he replaced the turbo pipe as it was damaged but i will still look into it . he mentioned that their was 3 pumps so i went with it , will clarify when i ask him? yes it dose have the clear fuel line and he did mention that it was something to look at . he has some type of diagnostics and i offered to drive around and look and watch the graphs etc , will report back when i see him again.
thanks.

its a L322 with BMW diesel engine, the vehicle runs ok generally accept it looses power , drops down to around 1000 rpm and then starts to recover . he has replaced the filter under the bonnet and the maf but it still dose it . he thinks it could be one off the 3 pumps that it has (which sounds very possible). its a random thing that happens on occasion but is getting worse . is this a thing that happens to these or is it an unknown issue,
PS i have never owned or worked on diesels so its all foreign to me ,any info would be very appreciated, thanks

ok i had another go today , i replaced the universals in the rear shaft to find out its the front one is making the noise , will do that one another day. i bridged across the plug at the pressure switch and nothing happened so i checked for power no power so its an inside job , also checked for other faults and found one off coarse, O2 sensor rich, pulled the plugs and found a rusty ended lead, not touching the plug and ripped the end off another . also a couple of black plugs i also noticed the water level has gone down (no washed plugs) will keep an eye on that . back to the real issue.
i take it that their is a power issue inside the car , the nano says it has a grant for the AC to kick in so its not being stopped bye a fan or a relay so to speak or is there another reason for it to not work?

its about 15 degrees here at the moment (Tasmania), a nice morning no wind . i don't mind the cold so much, its the wind that goes right through me

the pleats are there to give you surface area in the filter the same as the air filter which is another filter i don't change unless requires changing. the best oil filter system i have seen involved a toilet roll , you just removed the cardboard core and fitted it into the housing and refitted it to the car like a cartridge type filter, it used the single ply harder type toilet paper, GENERALLY easily available at all supermarkets ha ha

i have reset the air gap on the clutch, found the relay cut off pressure switches (behind the front bumper basically )so with the vehicle going there should be power to the switches . if there is power then the switch or switches are faulty, if no power check at hevac end for power.
can you remove switches without releasing the gas ? that's if there is any in there to release that is.
would the power be 12v or other, can i put power to the switch and see if it works or is that a no no.
