    2.5TD Engine belt or chain driven

    It has a nice reliable chain, or rather two of them. No silly belts to change!

    P38 suspension fault codes

    Tony If you are any good with a soldering iron then go to www.rswsolutions.com where you will find detailed instructions on how to wire a serial to OBD plug. You can of course check yours out with a meter to see if it complies with what is required. As already said if you are using a serial to...

    It's Saturday and therefore it has to be EAS day!

    I don't want to slag BBS off but I did have had a duff serial lead but it was easy to repair. The serial plug was a cheap plastic one with next to no cable strain which I replaced with a 'proper' metal one and working cable clamp! BBS say it wasn't one of theirs, I bought the Faultmate from RPi...

    It's Saturday and therefore it has to be EAS day!

    Hi Alan Using RSW software instead of the Faultmate I checked the EAS on mine as it did seem OK. The RSW readings were all sensible and confirmed that the system is OK! Everything responded as it should, going up and down on command. The actual ride is level and returns to within a millimeter...

    Changed Antifreeze,Battery light on now

    A bit hard blaming Land Rover as it is a BMW unit! Maybe BMW tried it in their F1 engine which could explain a lot! Have Ford ever used a water cooled alternator, I think not! It does sound a little ridiculous I have to say, what was it meant to achieve? Maybe and only maybe, there is a case...

    DT 1999 P38 EAS & Heater Display Panel Niggles

    Hugechoonz There are several things you can try. 1) Buy via Ebay or go direct to www.RSWsolutions.com and get the EAS software and lead, or make your own and then you can check your EAS stuff at your leisure. You can watch the ride height sensors at work! I have assumed you have a laptop...

    Suspension

    David I've just posted a lengthy missive regarding EAS suspension, but your question can be answered simply! Press the suspension lock button - next to the height display - and then lower to the Motorway position it is now 'locked' it in the motorway position! If you don't have the Lock on it...

    It's Saturday and therefore it has to be EAS day!

    This morning I decided it was time to swap the EAS valve block for a 'new' one. Ebay strikes again! All went well and when I started the engine up it took it's normal lengthy time to inflate the bags, but inflate they did with no EAS fault. So I then got the Faultmate out to do a check and this...

    Just when it was all working funny noise from brakes

    Hi Sandyt I have just been through exactly the same as you, ABS Fault and Traction Failure! My warnings had a habit of not coming on straightaway on start up but after a couple of miles or even longer, 50 miles! I took the excellent advice of the forum members and started with the cheapest...

    Powerbox or Superchip

    Arrhh but Huntert you have a newer Range Rover L322 with 3 litre diesel not a 2.5 DT! You have a better engine full stop. Max you can get out of a 2.5DT is 160 bhp and that is with it in A1 condition and yes it is an improvement but doesn't even reach your start point! (177bhp) I've got a PSI...

    Can I have some opinions on this Tuning Chip

    Your suggestion of the sub £100 ebay item is Ok BUT for the fact that they don't list the P38 diesel! I have a PSI box and can't fault it! Certainly gives more go and as one uses this the fuel consumption naturally stays the same as before! I have had very close to 30 mpg on a variety of runs...

    ABS Fault' and 'Traction Failure' on P38

    Thanks Addick47 and dantheman I'll order a new switch tomorrow! Worth doing just in case! rewmer, this is interesting as the pump takes a little time to reach pressure and stop in the morning. I have had a couple of occasions some time ago when I have had no brake pedal after starting in the...

    ABS Fault' and 'Traction Failure' on P38

    I call again on the collective heads of wisdom! My 1995 P38 DSE Auto every now and then comes up with an ABS Fault which is followed by Traction Failure! The ABS and TC lights stay on as well as the message. What is strange is that it isn't permanent and can come on when started or when in...

    p38 dse oil leak

    Sounds awfully like your turbo is having a problem, that or the rubber pipe/tube from the turbo to the intercooler has ruptured! Further investigation is required! Regards, Ian
