I went through a similar discovery experience working out what regulator was in my 2001 DHSE Valeo alternator. See thread #32 http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/alternator-179681-4.html It's probably worth (as ever) searching all threads for more info. I haven't used them but Wood Auto seem to...

I've read in threads on here horror stories of stripping the oil cooler threads trying to get the oil cooler pipes off and didn't fancy trying to get them off. I also didn't fancy buying hoses with a new cooler and taking the old one out. Mine have wept a little ever since I got the car. I took...

I too like to get mpg's on the mileage I cover. My best was 613 miles on a cap to cap fill, see thread here; http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/613-miles-diesel-p38-can-you-do-better-176809.html You seem to have all the obvious things done apart from your oil grades. Changing the engine oil to...

Redefines the expression 'evil looking'? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; but it feels more like a finger in my eye.

Just gone through a very similar experience. Firstly heavy steering closely followed by the battery light and then the oil light - panic. I thought the belt must have gone but it was still there and tight. It was only when I fired the engine up and looked - the belt wasn't going round. The...

Nik, If they're old I'd suggest just change them. I did mine last year fitting the OEM Boge ones that are very economical from the usual sources. Gives a nice comfortable ride and took a little out of the tramlining. There's a number of threads on here about which ones to fit and how to do it...

Just had the same problem with mine, both sides on successive days spookily. The plug was sliding off the three terminals on the bulb. I twisted the terminals to a very slight angle and pushed back on. They've been fine since. 100W bulbs by the way, they've worked fine and haven't blown anything...

+2 If it's throwing the belt the pulley could be swashing - wobbling. If so, and if it's bad enough to make the engine vibrate, you'll be able to see it with the engine ticking over. New or good second hand ones are pricey I've heard. I can't visualise if you could change the pulley with just...

Having the air con belt or not shouldn't cause this. Mine's run both ways without any difference. The belt does (from memory?) run on the harmonic suppressor part of the pulley - if you've wanged the tension up on the belt you may have pulled it sideways? But I would doubt that would cause...

It might have been a post from me, probably this one LandyZone - Land Rover Forum I've got LED's in all places the small T5 286 'match head' sized bulbs are fitted. They are a bit directional and avoid the ones with the square chip face that really are. I got some like these 10 T5/286 Green LED...

Don't need to take out wheel arch. Either go through the fog light blanking panel, 2 srews and clips or if a light is in there just crawl under and lever the pump out trying not to get too wet, a bit awkward but there's harder jobs on P38's! You can check if its the pump or supply by cross...

My blockage was the non return valve behind the near side rear lights stuck shut. You can reach it by groping through the small removable hatch, it looks / feels like a 5p sized round thingey in the tube up behind the foam insulation. I thought mine was bunged up with dried washer fluid. I blew...

LED's worked well for me. T5 286 LED's are as cheap as chips on the Bay of E if you're prepared to wait till they come round the world. Green ones give a nice warm glow to the instruments. You're right that most of the light comes straight out the end, dressing the face of the LED with glass...

Answer to this has been provided on another forum. See here for the definitive info. DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - TDV6 clutch slip - is a upgrade/heavy duty clutch available?

Same from me, get some good ones. You may get good at doing it if you buy cheap ones but I'm sure your P38 has other things to absorb your time. It was only after I realised that I was changing the same two cylinders every few weeks using up six Britpart cheap-oes from Ebay that I got some from...

Oh-lah Madrid! I can't say I've tackled these bushes specifically but it seems you've got a more general assembly problem that I have had experience with. Getting a nyloc on a spinning bolt firstly, just like doing the suspension ball joints on the old Mini's. Make sure the threads are free...

Uncharted terratory for me, I'm usually in the P38 forum (and had lots of good help there) but I'm trying to help a work colleague with a slippy Disco3. There's loads of info on sites, as well as this one, about slippy D3 clutches and resetting the XYZ sensor but the threads seem to major on...

Same advice from me; I changed using Boge's from Island. See the guide at Replacing the Shocks on a Range Rover 4.0/4.6/p38 You need 18mm socket and spanners that aren't in all tool sets and watch out for damaging the air lines along the rear chassis. Search this forum, there's quite a few...

Driving from the SW to Kent this week when it was honking down and a couple of funny things happened. Firstly it suddenly went really cold; thinking I was having a supernatural presence I hurridly scanned all the instruments for a sign and noticed the external air temperature was reading 34...
