As promised take a look at this thread if you want to do away with the O rings http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41939&hilit=Heater+matrix

Basically swap out the heater matrix out for a specific A6 from the 90s there is a thread on rangerovers.net will try and dig it out when I am at home this evening.

Bit late now but were you not tempted tom swap the matrix for an Audi one to allow you to ditch the O rings ? --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=52.032928,1.193893

Thanks for the reply yes I was thinking of trying Kwik fit as have heard the same approach as you that you don't get charged if it doesn't work especially as they only charge £50. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=52.033274,1.194200

So my P38 has been in at the stealers for the 120k mile service, apart from some tyres and a slight oil leak. They have observed the air con isn't function now I had noticed that it didn't seem as cool as normal. They wanted £90 just to diagnose it so have left it at the moment, given I don't...

I used Dataek's idiots guide on the forum to help me swap all 4 air bags on my 2001 P38 took me a total of about 2 hours or so. I was lucky as the original air bags had the plastic tops so the clips came out easy and I just had to wrestle the rears out as they had manged to get stuck at the...

Well after having the replacment Arnot Gen II bags sat in the car for the last 3 or so weeks, finally took some time out and swapped the bags out today. Luckily the original ones had the plastic top and bottoms so the pins came out nice and easy. Hardest part was getting the old rear air bags...

If i need to swap it, can get a brand new one for under 10quid off ebay. Will nip into Maplin's tomorrow and pick up some contact cleaner.

The diagnostic connector pins on my P38 are looking a bit crusty, I would like to remove the pins from the plug to clean them up properly. Does anyone know how the pins come out of the connector ?

A friend has got a Janspeed one on his P38 and it looks good quality personally I don't like the fact that you have to trim the bumper for the tail pipes. I was looking at one of the Double SS ones where they do a downard pointing tailpipe much like the original.

Yes do mean the a/c fans, they are still going mad even with the a/c turned off. Will try disconnecting the temprature sesnor first, but I do have my suspicision that it might be a stuck relay.

Thanks now just to track down why the cooling fans run with the ignition on, and why the front fog lights don't work.

Well thats fixed had to replace the relay feeding fuse 3.

discool thanks for that, is assume the accessory realy is behind one of the kick panels.

I have considered running a permant live for the radio but would really like to get the ignition feed sorted as given its the wife's car I fear a call out when she forgets to turn the radio off

I picked up an S plate 300 TDI for my wife last month and finally got it back on the road after changing the head gasket. The most annoying fault left to resolve is a non fucntioning radio, after checking the wiring it appears I am lacking the ignition feed, all the fuses are intact. Is there...

Yes appreciate the comments new air bags even OEM ones will feel better than 10 year old ones. It is tricky as at the minute I may keep the P38 longer the planned so the Arnotts seem appealing. Don't suppose anyone near Ipswich has P38 with a set fitted.

Yea I anticipate my compressor will need some TLC but have one that needs a refurb available to swap out. Have also got access to an EAS lead. Don't mind paying slightly more if the Gen 2s give some benefit. Worth noting I use my P38 to tow a 1600 kilo caravan and my car trailer with track car on

Thanks for that, any reason to get some Gen2s rather than some new standard ones

Just want to check something, had to move my P38 this monring so i could finihs unpacking from or return from holiday. Anyway after moving the car I went to open the rear door, and I could hear a hissing a first I thought it was the tyre. When I put my hand in to feel round the tyre I noticed...
