Re: Dish adapter only worked once?

Upon reading that thread, one possibly could have been due to the weight distribution of the pump upon the dish adapter.

Dish adapter only worked once?

Decided to head down to France this bank holiday.
I was able to source a dish adapter and was able to successfully top the car up. I did end up dropping the adapter from a low height - no visible damage.

Upon the second attempt to top up, the dish pump would latch one but gas would immediately ...

Re: 1998 P38 Range Rover guidance?

It has been a long while since I last posted.

I trust you are all well!

So, it's been nearly a year since my second P38. It currently has the filler mounted on a towbar, thankfully resulting in no hole drilled into the rear bumper. However, I plan to remove this towbar, which will leave the filler ...

Making 15 refuels easier.

I'm going on a road trip to Spain and back. A 240-mile range from 80L means I will need around 14-16 fuel stops, which will stress my palm when pressing the button.

Is there a suction device that exists that applies pressure to the button to refill the car? Or, would a plastic pin work?

Re: 1998 P38 Range Rover guidance?


Pre-99, use NGK BPR6ES, 99 or later use NGK PFR6N-11. The BPR6ES will usually fit and work perfectly fine on later cars but some have a slightly smaller hole in the cylinder head casting so the hex is too big necessitating use of the, more expensive, PFR6N-11. Don't waste your money on any of the ...

Re: 1998 P38 Range Rover guidance?

Thanks.

Within the month, I should have a new tank fit.

With the cold weather, a new problem arises.

In the past, there was a slight misfire where the car would gently shake when switching to LPG mode, where there was a loss of power for a few mins before operating as normal.

As we’re now ...

Re: 1998 P38 Range Rover guidance?


Noises during filling up are not related to any other problems, certainly not related to any reducer problem, beeping or the car cutting back to petrol. Vibrations will occur if 'machine gunning' occurs, there may be some vibration during filling up anyway. I advise you not to concern yourself ...

Re: 1998 P38 Range Rover guidance?


'Machine gunning' towards the end of filling a tank to the top was a common issue with certain types of multivalve, also common on multiple tank setups. But still 'gunshots' would normally be an exaggeration, really the machine gunning sound was just the (much quieter than actual gunshots) tank ...

Re: Beginner guide - Jag XJ8 - please help!


Hello again!

Is the XJR converted to LPG?


Hello!

No, this XJR is pure petrol and will remain that way.
My only LPG-converted vehicle is my Range Rover P38 which is pending a complete tank change (cylinder to donut).

Re: 1998 P38 Range Rover guidance?


That helps fill in some of the blanks, if its a normal sequential type system, then likely the diagnostic connector will be somewhere on the loom within 12"/30cm of the ecu. Typically its on a superseal or molex connector, superseal might have a cap on the connector.

Some ecus use other ways of ...

Re: Beginner guide - Jag XJ8 - please help!


Service you'd normally expect the filters changing. They last a fair while but do eventually clog up.

Is the starting issue still apparent if you run it on petrol for a few minutes before switching off? If so it's likely either the reducer or injectors are leaking gas slightly into the manifold ...

Hi all,

I've done nearly 8000 miles since we last spoke.

There are two things I would like to understand
1) The Jag takes a few seconds to turn over and sounds like it won't, but it eventually does. Is this normal? This was an issue before I replaced the sparkplugs with LPG-specific ones (NGK ...

Re: 1998 P38 Range Rover guidance?

So, I went to a specialist to diagnose the problem but the issue was as that he couldn’t locate the diagnostic port.

I’ve asked the previous owner and he responses “I think you can access the diagnostic through the interior OBD port as it’s part of the fuel ECU.”

I don’t want to go back to the ...
