    Two new Noises on my Rangie

    I rarely do thing myself, I use a Garage that only deal with Land Rover for all my RR works and asking questions here help me to save money and make sure that I am not fooled around and this despite having confidence on them. So to your question they pre-lubed everything and at my last shaken...

    Two new Noises on my Rangie

    Interesting... The garage where I goes told me that I have to rebuild my Gearbox since it was giving some kick from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. After changing the GB Oil, the Filter and adding some GB treatment I no longer feel these kicks... Still I am advise to do something about it and I was suppose...

    Rain Water leak A post area.

    Hi everyone, After reading this thread I remembered that I also have a "hole" on top of my windshield see photo below. Is this the same things that you guys are talking about or different? Does anyone had the same "hole" on top of their screen? Does silicon will fix it? So far no leak nothing...

    Wish me luck starting after rebuild tonight

    I can relate! However I wish I had a 2000+ one. The V8 sound on these models are much better than on my 95!

    p38 4.0 4.6 differance

    Yep agree here and if you are details crazy like me you will spend a lot of money to fix it... So far I have spent more money on making it right than when I purchased it... But I love this car so much.

    Can I fix it the "Jeremy Clarkson" way?

    I quickly had a look this morning. This is just a "plastic" cover on top of the car body, so there is no worries of rust / water going inside of the car right? I try to see if I can remove it, on the left side I can play with the trim but on the right side it seems impossible, so I will check...

    Can I fix it the "Jeremy Clarkson" way?

    Nope the trim is not missing the gap is between the trim and the window itself. I can take a better picture tomorrow but the trim is definitively there. And I only have this problem on the right side of the car. I will check with a local braker but if the silicon do the job then I will go...

    Can I fix it the "Jeremy Clarkson" way?

    As the photo blow shows there is a "gap" between the right rear window panel and the car body. It seems that there is still some "plastic" or whatever left that hold the water from rain (as far as I know) and I am upset that with time water will pass through these old plastic thingy and...

    Off Road Capabilities?

    Had the same experience two years ago with my wife's A6 Avant Quattro, someone removed all the snow (a few cm) and revealed all the ice beneath it and despite having brand new Snow tires we almost killed ourselves, the car could not stop at all and if it did it will immediately slide while...

    Is it true you can't jump start a P38 ?

    I did it, well JAF (AA) here in Japan did it for me after I abandoned my P38 with a weak battery for a month... As wammer said, everything is written in the user manual.

    Bare Minimum..............

    I tested James Bond smooth and the result was 1. Could not start the car after a 2hr drive on the highway (Electronic fault) 2. When Aston Martin sorted this problem (a week later), the gear box collapsed during the shooting session... So far my P38 is MUCH reliable than the DBS I had in...

    So what you are all saying that I'd have more chance by sacrificing a chicken and pray to the Old, Present and New Gods than taking care of my car?
