Yes thats correct, its to the right near the air filter, very easy to spot, but a quick call to land rover with the VIN will also confirm. Some also dont have any paint code stamped on as the brochure has custom options available. The P38 Autobiography edition was available from 1999, so...

Hi, Just get in touch with your local PowerFlow dealer, they will custom make the exhaust how you want it, it will add power, has a lifetime guarantee that (unlike most SS exhausts) if you sell the car the new owner will have, along with free servicing on it every year. Mine cost me £500...

Hi, It is usually depends on the model of RR to what system is in the car, I still have the spec books for 2000 models and the DHSE and HSE come with an 11 speaker system while the Vogue or other limited ed models come with a 12 speaker DSP system. In the harman/kardon system im sure each main...

Hello all, I had fitted a set of Lumenition HT leads just over 12 months ago, the other day the car started to miss when running on both gas and petrol, I checked the plugs and leads only to come to find that one of the HT leads had broke at the plug connector and more failed when removing...

I am running 20" Stormer alloys on mine with the Spigot rings (required for 2002 on alloys). I decided to run with 275/45/20 tres this has made no difference to ride quality that you will deffinatly get by running 22". Before I got these wheels I did plenty of reasearch and ive read quite a...

Hi everyone. We took the faulty Clarion head unit to a radio repair shop, (the type with the CD Changer connections) it was sent away and has come back working fine. The cost was £50 but its well worth it considering the £400+ Land Rover want for a new one. James

Ive replaiced mine on my 2000 model for the new version. It is expensive but if you get it from the dealer you know it is the correct RF reciever that was only brought out in 2004, plus if the battery still drains after a few days you can get your money back. James

My Mum has just got a 1999 DHSE with the same radio problem, the buzz only coming from the drivers lower speaker. I removed the head unit to check the wires and radio itself, the wiring was fine but if I gave the head unit a bit of a hard bash and the buzzing stopped. A dry or broken connection...

This is a common problem. The best fix is to replace the RF Reciever under the parcel shelf on the drivers side. This picks up outside signals from transmitters, even as simple as wireless doorbells can wake up the onboard computer draining the battery. Land Rover updated the part in 2004 so...

Hi, The batery drain is a common problem on the P38. I have just reciently fixed the problem on my 2000 P38. It is all down to the RF receiver under the parcel shelf on the drivers side. It picks up signals from masts and in extreme cases even wireless doorbells etc. Draining the battery every...

Hi, I own a P38 Autobiography. The best way to tell is under the bonnet. There should be a Land Rover Special Vehicle Plaque, stating it is an Autobiography and you can check the number with any dealer. They do make a 4.0L as this is a custom vehicle its built as you want it. I believe the...
