Sorry - forget the heater plugs! I wasn't thinking properly as that would be if you had cold problems! To check voltage drop you need a digital voltmeter, but I would unbolt and clean/abrade any earths and main connections to the starter motor/chassis just to exclude that possibility, if volt...

2003 RR uses a different engine - not the 2.5 BMW so it would not be the same probem. If it has heater plugs, they would be my first suggestion.:)

Mt 2.5 DSE used to average around 24-25 around on local driving and up to 29-31 on a run. When I recently replaced the DMF/clutch (got rid of the rough idle problem when hot) the consumption increased to 25-27 local. On a run (yesterday) I was getting 31 mpg driving it hard - it has a power...

Have you tried just replacing the pump itself? On my 2.5 DSE P38, there are three small pumps plugged into the base of the screenwash reservoir. One is for the screen, one for the headlamp washers and one for the rear screen washer. When my rear screen wash failed, it was simply a faulty...

After all the above work, some of which which improved the tick-over problem, in the end the cause was a faulty dual mass flywheel. The fault is now completely cured and it is detailed under a different post on this forum - see below...

Here is the U-tube link showing the new DMF and the old faulty one. YouTube - Range Rover P38 DMF Below is a link to my own web-site showing the basic essentials when doing this job. The bracket was made from some flat plate, a piece of box section and a 30 mm solid shaft. Hole positions...

Hi guys! This morning I am aching all over! Yesterday changed the Dual Mass Flywheel and clutch assembly on the P38 2.5 DSE. Made up a 220 mm high adapter bracket to fit the trolly jack to the gearbox bracket holes and put the car onto four ramps. Disconnected battery negative within 30...

Thanks Mad Hat Man - I'll have a look. If anyone can give me the exact link I'd appreciate it in case I don't find it. Save me making one.

I understand that it did not miss a beat after changing it! I am about to do mine this month but I have learnt from another member who changed his DMF and clutch on a flat surface by jacking the RR onto four ramps and making a bracket to adapt his hydraulic jack to the gearbox bracket. I have...

Anything that causes a volt drop or surge could theoretically affect the suspension ECU and might bring on the pump for a short time. Releasing the brake would cause a volt surge. The P38 engine bay fuse-box feeds all the others via three terminals on its base and is prone to volt drops which...

The reason it happens when hot is that it takes time for the whole engine & transmission assembly to become properly hot and then it affects the viscous material that binds the two parts of the DMF together. It doesn't happen simply when the engine has reached normal temperature - it takes...

For thos interested in the dual-mass flywheel problem on the manual 2.5 DSE (Land Rover - please take note) here is a link to a faulty VW one on U-tube. You can see the problem clearly on it. Seems that they are generally bad news. YouTube - GOOD VW TDI DMF Second link to a really bad one...

I am aware of the EGR valve problem, but the 1999 2.5 DSE and I think earlier models did not have an EGR valve - I think they only started fitting it from 1999 onwards. (Thank goodness!). My son had to strip & clean the EGR valve on his BMW tourer, but the symptoms are slightly different - the...

If it comes up to full height on all four wheels then the bags are o.k. The diaphram mentioned by member kork is part of the valve block assembly which is in the compressor black box. That was good suggestion, or possibly another fault in the valve block. The RR is also prone to various bad...

Lots of downloads here including Rave. If the link does not work, search on 'Green Oval'. The Green Oval - Downloads | Land Rover Data ;)

According to RAVE (You can download RAVE on the web) fuse 17 is inthe BECM and feeds the ABS system, the stop-lamp switches and the air suspension ECU, so a fault on any one would cause th fuse to blow. I would try and eliminate the other two first. Suggestions -(1) see if the brake lights still...

Which fuse if blowing? Which fuse-box is it in? It sound as if it might be a faulty air compressor drawing too much current. Also check the relay sockets in the engine bay fuse-box in case any are burnt. You could also selectively swop some of the relays around in the engine bay fuse-box as...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news. I have spent nearly 2 years investigating this fault and changed everything standard that 'might' have cause it. I also have a Rovacom Lite diagnostic system that can view live data and that also showed no error codes. Now for the bad bit . . .if the fault...

Without diagnostic equipment, it is difficult to know as there are several causes. Firstly visibly check the air bags and see if any have definite and obvious splits that would cause total air loss (unlikely). If nothing is obvious, the most likely cause is a compressor failure - mounted under...

Main LR dealer in N. Wales gave me my EKA code without problems or cost. It's listed on the computers with VIN no. and/or registration no. I don't even use them for service. I think most will give it to you.
