JFuller Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Oil change, figured out why the windscreen washers don't work, wash and interior detail. Justin, I need a new pump assembly for the p38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Got the Classic out today and drove it a good 60 miles with no issues, took it to British Car service and he hooked up the auto logic to find out the engine light was from a bad throttle position sensor, replaced that and some minor air hoses. Took it and got it smogged. astateofmike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Winding Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Replaced the MAF on my D2. Hopefully that'll solve my SES woes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilcrawler Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 This weekend I did doors. Pulled the latch out of the fifth door and replaced the broken spring. I also adjusted the link rods in the drivers door, so I can get in from the outside again! I attempted to get the rear windows working, but the problem isn't with the ECU. I still don't know what is wrong with them. I'll check switches next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFuller Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 yes, P38. Got half way to work and the high temp light caught my eye. Weird thing was i wasn't getting much heat out of the heater and wanted it because it was a bit brisk. Shut it down, pulled over (in that order) and spent a minute freaking out. Turned the key back to the on position and the temp light had gone out and the temp was almost out of the red, strange. Then popped the hood expecting to see a green mess everywhere. But, all looked pretty normal. The coolant tank was full and the hoses had pressure. The upper hose wasn't too hot and I could squeeze it a bit with a bare hand. Also strange. Gently cracked the coolant tank cap and heard boiling, so I shut it. Went back to the cab and the temp was back in the middle of the gauge!! Over the span of maybe 2 minutes. Started it up, stayed in the range. So I closed the hood and drove to work and it didn't miss a beat the rest of the way. The heater also worked great after that. So if the heads, head gaskets and liners didn't let go then maybe I will get away with just changing the thermostat. We will see what happens when I TRY to go home.

JFuller Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I heard the D2 ones with the collars are the best and don't "self extract". I got a set out of a D2 from pick n pull and they have been good since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFuller Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Well who knows what the cause is but the current symptom is coolant all over the floor. Never been stranded in a rover before. Kinda stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda stinks.Collant in the car? - Sounds like you've got a blown heater core. Had that in mine - bypassed the core till I got the enthusiasm to take the dash out to rebuilt the heater box. That was on a classic - no idea how bad that job would be on a P38 Edited April 27, 2016 by Timbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 What did I do to mine yesterday - stared at the engine a little to try and get some enthusiasm to putting the heads back on! Time allowing - will try today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pedram Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Coolant on the passenger side floor on a p38 is either a bad clamp on the heater core or bad heater core. It's a full days work pulling that out. Did it twice on two different P38's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
