Ok so I should not be too worried about this, and the "jolt" or "kick" only happen from 1 to 2 (never from 2 to 1) when the car shift gear at its minimal gear ratio low rev (hope I am clear). Flat out no problems whatsoever.

Ok thanks!

Thanks! I will ask the guys to have a look for that, but can you tell me what do you mean by "Check the cable"? The length or quality ?

Hi The garage that take care of my P38 (1995 Auto 4.6HSE no LPG) advised me to change the GB or get a rebuilt. I took the rebuilt option and ordered mine from ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk. The box has been fitted with the correct oil and we changed the Transfer Case oil as well. There are some...

Thanks!

Hi everyone. We put a rebuild transmission on my P38 (4.6 no Gas) and that made a lot of difference! Still from 1 to 2 there is a slight un-natural speed change I will have to contact ashcroft for that but the garage told me to wait and see, still for him I should not worry about it he knows...

I can relate, I am also becoming paranoid since I bought my P38 1 year and half ago... Granted I was already slightly Paranoid before but the P38 did not help. I also spent a lot of money as well on it and will spend more this month too (Rebuild GearBox, Brake Caliper Overall, New Brake Pad...

Yep me too! Anyway there are so many other stuff to fix on this car like a Gear Box overall! Finally found the serial of my Box and will buy a rebuild one from Ashcroft tomorrow.

I can't wait to have Press Car available in Japan... I am totally in love in the MKIV. To bo honest I never have been disappointed by the look of any Range Rover, Give (in mint condition) me an MKI or MKII, MKIII or MKIV and I am a happy man. Still I whish I could afford the £90,000 of the entry...

I just came back from my favorite garage, and everything is fine. 1. Tapet Noise. It was indeed tapet noise (that diapered since last time), but nothing to worry. According to them, the car was not used for a long time and the oil in the engine went to the bottom living not enough lubricant...

Interesting since as I mentioned the sound is also coming around this area as well (right side when facing the engine), hope it is as simple as you suggested!

As I said, they can only be heard when your head is really close to the engine and engine cold. Stand in front of the car with open bonnet you can't hear a thing... So I will check this oil Wynn's Hydraulic Valve Lifter 350ml and see how it goes. Thanks for your advise!

Thanks! I will check this if we got equivalent here in Japan and if not I will order this online.

Hi Dave thanks! But I am not Japanese :o. I am French and I have been living there for the past ten years, so if you noticed any deterioration on Japanese behavior or the street becoming dirtier these are maybe because of my bad influence being a Gaijin (Foreigner)

Make sense, I will check this ASAP. THANKS!

Another day, another "problem". Since the past few days my Brake pedal is "Sticky". The car brake just fine but the pedal "touch" feel that it is grabbing something at one point. Drive the car for half an hour and the brake pedal is just fine, no problems and this all along the day even after...

I am not on Synthetic but not sure if it is 10W40 or something else, will try thicker oil next time, thanks!

Not enough I am afraid :(

Not sure if it is the same loud squeaky hinge, but my P38 developed a huge sound at some point when turning to the left, it came out to be the metallic pipes that are connected to the steering box. At first I though of the something strange behind the steering wheel as well, but after careful...

Thanks. I am a rather overzealous person when it comes to have things done or working right, a little noise on something and I will not sleep... Yep I am that crazy. Anyway the tappet noise is not loud and you cannot hear it when opening the bonnet and stand in front of it... I will check if...
