Could somebody sponsor you please with a workbench, vice, leather work-gloves and eye protection 🙏 😮
😂🙏 please!
@@SamsMotorsI was waiting to see that caliper bracket take off !
Never seen someone work on a car in leather gloves 😂
@@davog1946 Yes... when using an angle grinder on an unsupported workpiece 😘
@@guyemmott4009 do you wear a crash helmet and knee pads as well?
nice to get all free parts
Well done for calling them dampers 👌👌👌👌👌
Great video Sam. Glad you did the dust shield you had me worried for a moment. I started tidying the chassis on mine. It’s it good condition but put neutraliser and then lanoblack on it. Had a fight getting the rear bumper off, torx bolts rusted in but no bother as the mounts had rusted away anyway! Hardly anything holding it on and I suspect lots of them in the same condition. I’ve been welding and fabricating non stop for two weekends now and it was only supposed to take one day!!!!
I encourage you to invest in an induction heater. Wonderful things.
Another great video. I so miss our old P38, best car I have ever had and a true off roader. My wife called it a flying sofa.
There is a complex process to bleed the brakes and there is three bleed nipples on the block. You will not have full brakes using this method
Agree with the above. In Rave there is quite a specific procedure for brake bleeding. Not sure that this method will correctly bleed the brake valve block ( not ideal on a 2.5t vehicle ).
I’ve seen that long procedure listed in Rave. The method I used seems to have worked but I’ll monitor the pedal feel and see if it needs doing by the book. Cheers 🍻
Check the map sensor piping and sensor itself for the power issue sam.
Although driving a mapped L322 everyday will definitely make the standard p38 seem really slow anyway.
Also buy a ron box and fit it before going the engine swap route, it makes an immense differance to power and mpg when set to the right settings.
Great job with the breaks, they look better than new! It would be amazing if someone could develop a M57B30 swap kit for the P38. That engine feels great in the E53 X5 and it would transform those old Range Rovers.
I have the same p38 and the missing power can be remedied with an END tuning chip. Just make sure injectors, fip and turbo are in good shape first
I'm sometimes watching your videos with subtitles on... if i'm eating or trying not to wake other people... anyways the wind noise always auto-translates to "applause" which is hilarious. People clapping as you spray primer
you have my applause!
That’s brilliant 🤩 👏👏👏
Great work, you need one of those small sand blasting boxes. Also a tent workshop.
Definitely. One day Sam's Motor & Machine will have a garage!
Great video again Sam.
There is a little vacuum line on the underside of the inlet manifold that goes to the boost sensor, check that it hasn’t split or come off.
Great video which explains how to do it. Well done. 👍👍👍👍😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done another great installment on the p38 .🔧👍
Check the small hose underneath the inlet manifold that goes to the map sensor on the fuelfilter housing. It wont get boost fueling if its not in tact.
Top marks for the paint booth! I love it!
I straightened my steering wheel by adjusting the long steering track bar a few turns.
She starting to come a long nice Sam gooooood job
Love this but more l322 vids plz ❤️ 👀 🚘
Fantastic job Sam, great to see her come back to life 👍
There is a full bleed procedure on the P38 which should followed, from memory there are three bleed nipples on the master, the full procedure can be found on line, there is a full video on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/AHDU5DPjV4o/v-deo.htmlsi=NueQqS1Yll_PezKT
Missing power, have you reconnectd the vacum line that lives on the underside of the inlet manifold, will have reduced power if not connected.
As I understand the bleed procedure on the P38 is pretty important.
I swapped my accumulator without bleeding. Works fine, but I suspect it's squishier than it was.
Add it to the list.
@@richardschofield2201 you just need to depressurize the master when changing the accumulater, pump pedal something like 14 times. Symptoms for when it needs changing are usually, overly high fluid level when it's not running and the boost pump kicking in every time the pedal is pushed, plus long duration of the pump running on initial start up. Changing mine sorted all of the above.
I have had both M51 non EGR and EGR versions of the P38 recently. The non EGR version with the metal intake manifold seems to be way more powerful. Just brought one back onto the road after 7 years.
Nice to see people realising that these cars are becoming future classics!
I expect the non EGR one has suffered a lot less premature wear from not having to ingest soot it’s whole life!
@@SamsMotors Mine was firing proper sooty clouds of smoke out the back once it was at full boost. I've heard they can clog up the charge coolers. I didn't drain mine but I suspect its been chipped, as all that power blew out any built up soot in there!
I think a decent tune is necessary on these cars!
Chrome high temp paint would make caliper brackets look much better than the grey😂😂
Can’t wait to see her on the road! So I can’t 😂 How do you manage to pick such good songs? Every video is a Range Rover Shazamfest 😂 Lovely job Sam. The Mrs has added another Rangie to our fleet this week. Pity it’s a Sport 😂😂
Private road oohhh aye 😅
Excellent video again mate. Take care. Steve.
Testing it on a private piece of road 😂 or as the American channels call it Mexico. The engine from a 330D would be a nice upgrade although I’m not sure how easy/difficult it would be as I’ve not seen one done before but I’m now about to look on UA-cam 👍🏻🏴
Great video Sam, nice work on the braking system
If the P38 has been standing unused for a while, is smoking on acceleration ( black or brown smoke) and down on power, then I would suggest the injectors. If it’s blue smoke though, I would almost certainly check the turbo, after first checking the compression. Another great video, thanks.
I drive an e36 touring with the same engine but with a manual box and something that helped it find some much needed grunt was decatting it. Throttle response and power was greatly improved. I’m going to try get it tuned in the future and hopefully make 200hp. Mechanically though at 163k she’s a beaut
That’s a good point - the original cat is probably pretty clogged up and restrictive by now.
Very informative video! Great as always. Did you tease us with the cummins beast on purpose? 😂
Excellent Sam
Lovely job Sam 👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
I would just swap the M51 for a M57 with a good tune. Should be quite adequate in a P38.
I'd love to do this in the future for sure.
Can’t wait to the P38 be fully road worthy! The P38 is a gorgeous vehicle, but L322 is still the best looking of them all. Haha
Isn't a Classic, it's a P38
@@stephentootle6388 oops, was thinking P38 too but didn’t know why I put classic. Thanks!
Nice job... Are you going to acid jenalite jell the chassis then wax oil it to treat the rust. Someone might have messed with one track rod end and that's why it's wondering and the steering wheel is off to one side
I’ve not heard of acid jenalite. I’ve previously used Neutrarust and Lanoguard on my L322 with good results - so I’ll probably do something similar on the P38.
Short of replacing the master cylinder and servo, I think you've replaced the entire brake system. Will last for a good few miles now.
Bit different to a tdv8 in performance.
Good video as always
Most p38 diesels smoke on lockdown anyway
Yeah less than half the power and half the 'speeds', it's always gonna feel a bit steady. Cheers!
Nice work there.. I would keep an eye out for the abs accumulator.. if the pump kicks back in after 1 or 2 pump of the pedal you should definitely change.
In regards to the power I bet it’s the infamous 4injector sensor issue, when these go you get pretty sluggish performance.
Cheers for the heads up! It does do that - I’ve got a spare one which I’ll chuck on and see if it improves.
@@SamsMotors fingers crossed.. a new Wabco one is £180
Should be still faster than Defender right?
Really excellent video, thank you. I'm buying up all the bits and pieces required to overhaul my brakes too. What brand of rotors and pads did you go for? Cheers.
I went for fairly basic ones - Febi on the discs and Valeo on the pads I think.
Did you refit the vacuum pipe to the inlet manifold?
Hi Sam. Just wondering if there are any further P38 updates? I've recently joined the P38 family with a 2001 4.6 vogue running on LPG. Fortunately mine hasn't/doesn't require as much work as you've put into yours. But nice to see another one going back on the road.
There certainly shall be - there’s the P38 30th anniversary coming up in May here in Ireland, which I would love to get her to. Couple of bits left to do but not too much now!
The 4.6 sounds lovely 😻
@@SamsMotors I know there was a big P38 celebration last year in the UK. Hopefully I’ll get to something with it this year. Looking forward to the update 👊
Iv a leak from the sun roof drain in my sport and no normal garage will do it and 2 month wait for a specialist i mite be changing to toyota
Yeah those engines (M51) aren't the quickest thing are they and fitting the Auto Box probably doesn't help either, then again even with a manual it wasn't much better. 😂😂😂
Yep - I’ve got some things to do that’ll definitely improve it though.
Sam - please wear some eye and hand protection 🙏😇
Could u swap a m57 in to her
Definitely could. Would be a dream project for me!
@@SamsMotors it mite be the way to go mate the m57 wasnt enough power for the p38 replacement but it was a perfect engine for the p38 there plenty of them around if i were you id go for it
@noelcahill6707
A TDV8 would be my dream engine conversion, seen a TDV6 in one, how hard could it be 😅
@@paulie-Gualtieri. iv a sport with the 3.6v8 problem here in ireland very few garages will work on the landrovers
@noelcahill6707
My cousin in Tipperary has one too. Years ago, the best diesel engine conversion for a Range Rover was the 3.5 Mazda SLT TDI brilliant engine that was.
As a p38 driver my car doesn’t have brakes 👍
You probably want to take a look at that then 😅
@@SamsMotors nah I’m going good
@@SamsMotors bro whats the green font u used in the thumbnail??
