Title: Servicing P38 1997 Diesel DSE
Post by: Bugwipe on November 24, 2006, 09:03:39

Servicing RR this weekend for the first time. Got a quote from 4x4 specialist and it was £307. Parts were £81 so I bought the gear of them.
Engine oil flush, fuel addative, fuel filter, oil filter and air filter. Never done it before so i'm just making sure theres nothing complicated. Ive heard that when you change the fuel filter youve not to let any air in the system. Is this true and what happens if you do. Any tips would be most welcome.

Fuel system will need bleeding after you change the filter, unless it's self bleeding.
Fit a new washer to the oil drain plug.
The rest is just like any other car, but bigger.

How do you know if the system is self bleeding? and is there anything hard and fast about bleeding, is there anything I can do wrong.
