Cheers, Paul.

Um - it was tongue in cheek - it is totally stuffed - you can push your finger through the rust. The previous owner also "used" it and nudged something thus bending it and it's mounts.

hmm bugger, thanks anyway Pat. Will keep looking for a nudge bar and side steps... unless I can convince her that she should drive my other P38 which already has those things
Then I could start working on a lift kit for the Freebie and some body armour

Am going to check out that sensor too, so if/when it goes on ours I'll know which one to get.

Cheers, Paul.

Bit of an update.....

Since finding out from you and from Scouse that the new sensor should be the right one, I changed it again yesterday.

After persevering for ages it eventually started but not before lots of failed attempts and long cranking.

It is only through a random occurance that it bursts into life.

FAIL.

This morning I put the old one back in and it starts first time.

So my problem remains of the random non starting with the old one when the car is hot.

I think I will get a can of the electroinc freeze stuff, that Pat mentioned and maybe if that works I can assume that it is the sensor and that I got a dud one from the UK.

I don't like my chances of getting any money back on it though.

Bugger.

Dave, it could also be the injectors leaking back out their return lines or a fuel pump / delivery problem. If you leave the key on and the pumps priming for a while and then try to start is it better? There was also an issue with some of the injector looms.

Pat

Problem has been solved now. Needed a new low pressure fuel pump.

Not exactly a cheap exercise, but we will punish ourselves by owning Land Rovers.

Dave

BTW I now have a spare Cam Sensor which is most likely NOT faulty.

If anyone has the same problem and wants to try a new cam sensor, then please feel free to give me a shout.

Hi, Where do you get these RAVE manuals from? A simple google search returns a lot of references to it but not the source.

Kindly, Demi
