- Back with the Omega swapped P38, last night she took a nose dive in power, I did have a good idea on what it could be, thought I’d post a video on what it was
Also features how to check the level of your automatic without dipstick fluid level
And.. what looks like a weeping crank seal 🤢

Some 2 1/2 years ago I was held at the train crossing when the revs increased by about 300rpm, stayed there for a minute or two then returned to normal. This progressed to jumping 300rpm whilst driving at a steady speed up to a position where it was almost undrivable. The worst case occurred one day I had driven 20 miles when the revs jumped to 3000rpm with only the slightest pressure on the accelerator but the car had no power. After a couple of miles, the revs returned to normal and I was able to drive home with no further problems.
I changed the MAP, EGR, and Throttle Position Sensors, plus I borrowed an ECU to eliminate that but without success, (although these new sensors did improve the normal running slightly.)
Then unrelated, the water pump broke and I had to be recovered. On explaining this running problem to the recovery man he said 'It's your turbo they stick' So whilst I had the front of the car out to replace the water pump I also refurbished the turbo but this did not completely resolve the condition so I then replaced the MAF sensor with a recovered part and the car worked fine for over a year.
Recently the problem returned. I had expected the recovered MAF to fail I fitted a new MAF sensor which has not done anything for me.
Oil levels are good on both the engine and gearbox and the fuel pump is delivering fuel.
I had this problem but it was actually the gearbox. Don't know if you've examined this yet but that was my issue.
Hello , I have same car. EGR and Map sensor hoses connection wrong , Map sensor hose must be connect to the Intake manifold your car connected to the EGR valve. This is the reason for the low power.
Absolute excellence! Yes I realised my mistake after I swapped removed the intake ironically after I had posted the video, 5 stars gold comment! There is more to this video than first glance
Hello
You might do videos about the
RANGE ROVER classic
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I have a few classic Range Rovers and I will do a deeper dive into them in the future
@@thatroverguy1937 one of these days I will buy a Range Rover Sport 2012
The design is excellent.
If you want to see nice cars go to KGF classics channel.

P38's have a rep for being troublesome, but I guess if you're prepared to research and learn a bit to keep them in shape, they offer a good bargain. Are they steel or Ali bodied? I guess at 2.5T they're steel?.
Steel body on a P38, but they don’t rot like an L322, I’ve had numerous Range Rovers throughout the years, and I’ve always fell back to running a P38, they’re by some distance the best of the lot, the more modern ones are more comfy and obviously drive better, but they’re just so unreliable, and the classics are just awful only a mad man would daily a classic, the P38 is a good compromise all round
Can i ask what sort of mpg are u getting from your 2.5d auto
With this engine I’m getting around 24-25mph but I have a remapped ECU, they aren’t fantastic on fuel even when they’re running great
Mine is on par with a V8 petrol then 16 average
@@daznavps3 somethings not right there mate the early ones do dip to about 20mpg but they don’t really go below, maybe check the injectors as they aren’t a massively big job to swap out, normally they should get anything from 20-22mpg
@@daznavps3 with the correct upgrades and “deletes” 30mpg isn’t out of reach, some people can get into the early/mid 30’s
My lead shoes prob don't help and short journeys
Sorry very poor audio, struggle to hear what U are saying
