Hi Folks,
This site takes some navigating round but will learn.
Joined the site as a result of finding the solution to my son's P38 problem. Bought from a friend who had had no problems. Once here, the battery went flat within a week. Fitted a new one with the same result. Next it immobilised its self, would crank but no fuel. Flat bedded to local garage and BECM reprogrammed. This happened again and another job for garage. Then the siren decided to sound and all attempts to stop it failed until it was unplugged but at least the car started. This did not last long before the immobiliser again kicked in.
Found the answer on this site and the search began to find the rogue 433mhz signals hitting the car. It was the house burglar alarm. Everytime someone passed a pir and it activated, the Rangerover woke up. The vehicle had not slept since it's purchase. House alarm PIRs removed and P38 went to sleep. Car now at garage again to have a new RF receiver fitted and BECM reprogrammed. Once back home tests will be done again but think I will change house alarm to 868mhz as a precaution.
My car? G215SGN. The Rangerover Classic rebuilt over 2002/03 by Landrover Magazine. She's beautiful though not without her problems, some left over from the rebuild. Runs on gas and must have the largest history record of any car, including all the magazine articles.
Finally, the workhorse is an ageing Discovery 200TDI. Not much time left but still carries almost a tonne of books every month and travels 400 miles delivering same over every mountain, hill and valley to the border of England.
From motorcycles to Landrovers, never had another type of car and don't like changing them. Began with series 3 County Station Wagon then to 110 County which stayed with me 22 years and gave it away as I retired with a galv. chassis and new bulkhead. That vehicle began as a family car and hobby but became the most important piece of equipment on our farm later in life. It carried anything from humans to sheep, climbed the steepest parts of the land, crossing streams and gorges as it carried tools and kit to where I was working. It did what Landrovers were designed for and was also featured in a magazine.
That's me and Landrovers but they have to be on the original chassis, not todays rubbish and wonder what the last year of manufacture was should the old disco have to go. Someone has told me it's plate 52.
Also have a narrowboat and am a canal enthusiast.
There we go, have introduced myself, now to try and post it.
Cheers John
