Thanks for that - I was looking for the NTK part number - much appreciated.

Yup, GB386 has had a very hefty rear end wallop, that took out the rear axle and diff, and badly twisted the chassis - even broke the sunroof due to the roof twist!

I’ve exported it to Madeira, bec ...

The car is in bits at the moment, so I can’t check, but the top hose is definitely different from the one that came off it....

I’ve got the defender TD5 and p38 v8 packs at the moment, I do a lot of work on the favourite engine out there - the td5.

When checking the parameter info, check that everything makes sense.
Is th ...

Mmmm. Looks like NTC 5687 isn’t quite the right part for 50th top hose.
Roversnorth seem to have NTC5686, but NAS were LHD remember....

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike,

Wow - over $700 for the feed and return in stainless is not cheap at all.
(Plus shipping, vat etc,.)

I’m sure you can find a decent fitter in the U.K. that can make and fit these lines for you fro ...

Find a good diagnostic specialist with the right kit to interrogate the ems.

The lack of a fault code only means that the sensors etc seem to be working, or more correctly, haven’t got so bad that ...

Suggest you pop on one of the LR forums, and ask on the P38 threads to see if anyone knows of a good specialist with the diagnostic kit.

I’m not sure a dealer would be the best place either!

I’m surprised that a LR specialist doesn’t have the basic diagnostic tool ...

In the past, I’ve used standard copper/nickel tubing.
It’s available in the right sizes, is easy to bend neatly without special tools, doesn’t work harden as much as copper, and you can re-use fittin ...

Yeah, 3 amps is low for a fuel pump.

Being honest, this wouldn’t be the first technical inaccuracy that I’ve found in the 50th electrical info!

For such a small production run, perhaps the great ...

STD pump will feed a well modified 4.6 without trouble.

Fuse on the circuit diagram is 15A, which would be more like what I’d expect.
