Default Ok... I gotta see some pics.

Any post of a "Rover Trike" should start with some photos. I can't help unless I can see... besides... I just want to see a 3 wheeled LR.

But seriously...
You can't go to a gynecologist and just say it hurts down there. Same goes here.

Default Oh... and you might edit your post.

If you want more views... and more help... you might change the Title of your thread to something like "Help With a Land Rover Trike". Specifics matter...

Pix would help figure what year the engine is and what type of induction you are using. if it is a late 4.6 and you have replaced the head gaskets with new head bolts, it could be a bad block fairly common on late 4.6

Hey everyone new here to the forum and in need of some help with my 98 p38. I have done quite a bit of work but ran into a problem. I have a hard time starting but a few times on the turn of the key and pump on the gas I can get it to start and idles good. Other problem is when I go to drive my truck it is slow to accelerate and if I push more in to the gas it acts as if it is not receiving enough fuel. I have replaced the fuel pump and filter, fuel pressure regulator spark plugs and wires no codes or engine lights only message gives is the speed limit 35 mph max due to the removal of the air suspension due to it failing and wanted that ruggid trail look that am building but if someone that knows more about the p38s and how I can get my truck to perform like normal would be great. Thanks anyone able to help
Chris

Mate you should start your own thread and not hijack someone else's.
