    Do you flash or wave?

    Personally I've been in favour of flashing for several years now. Unfortunately the local Constable does not share my enthusiasm, nor apparrently does the good lady who lives opposite. I think on balance i shall try waving at her for a few weeks - at least until my court appearance. But do...

    It's been delivered!

    Good luck with 'the project'. I wish you well having tried to do the very same thing with a 'bargain' a couple of years ago. In my experience rust is going to be the big problem, and the likely cause of an MOT failure if it isn't done propely - and that's the problem, welding can drain your...

    water leak

    I've just had the same problem (water leaking) myself. Plenty of other responses will give you other suggestions as well, many suggesting a fault with the heater matrix 'o' rings, but this is not necessarily the case. My leak was coming from rainwater that found its way in through the air...

    P38 or Defender - you decide

    Hi Guys, new to this side of the forum and have decided to put complete faith in what you guys say. I currently have a P38 4.6 - none of the usual problems, in fact, it has been a breeze to own. Obviously now that fuel is rocketing, the thought does occasionally cross one's mind to flog the...

    **** happens

    Set it to low height with him under it and he might get the vin stamped on him

    **** happens

    Take it to your local Landy stealer. Each Range Rover has a 'secret' number which your dealer will be able to examine and confirm as genuine.

    Things you will need for the simplest of jobs

    1) Chemical toilet strapped to your ankle 2) Lunch and tea 3) Scalpel And here's why. I posted recently with what I thought was a great fix to replace the guaze mesh that covers the blower air intakes at the base of the screen that had perished and was the cause of water in the passenger's...

    Where does this pipe go to ?

    Sounds like one of those 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' jobs. By the look of the T piece the pipe has been missing for some time. If the only effect is for that pipe to knock off the cruise under braking (and I never use cruise), I can't see any problems in leaving it until such time as I...

    Where does this pipe go to ?

    I've had a look at rave, not very helpful. I'm not particularly concerned with the cruise control, in fact I don't even know if it works, the problem will be that there must be something missing at the other end.

    Glove box

    When I replaced my glovebox, I deliberately missed out the two 'buried' screws, just in case this happened to me. No ill effects afterwards, no rattles or noises.

    Where does this pipe go to ?

    Just tinkering today and noticed a pipe missing from the cruise control vacuum unit. The missing pipe is highlighted in the attached piccie. Any help greatly appreciated as always

    Sucking in water

    I can only speak for the passengers side (on a RHD model). remove the glove box and the shelf beneath it, the blower motor will be there in front of you. I drilled a small hole at the lowest point of the duct to release some water (quite a lot came out so have something ready to catch it)...

    Sucking in water

    I've been having the same problem. I noticed that the mesh covering the blower air intake had perished away which had allowed large debris, twigs etc, to get sucked into the pollen filters and blower ducts as well as allowing rain directly into the phlenum and down into the blower ducts. I...

    Range rover p38........What should i be looking for??

    The same applies to Range Rovers as any other car. Buy the best you can find with the money available. Whether your preference is for a newer car but with high mileage or a slightly older car with better specification and a folder of history is up to you. As with any highly specified car, age...

    Whine when accelerating?

    Mine does that sometimes, mostly when my wife is in the car

    1995 Range Rover HSE - Some issues to overcome

    Mine also suffers from this same problem. After much research I have found the cause, but not the solution - In order to build the P38, the good men of LR at Solihull rose early, fortified themselves with a hearty breakfast and then trekked the 110 miles to the factory. There they braved minus...

    Where the bloody hell is it??

    I'm inclined to agree with KDS, just had a peep at rave (S80 page3) which clearly shows the recirculation servo, identical the 3 photos in the post from Dopey. Rave (Sec 80 page 5) shows the location of the blend motor.

    EKA ......4 digit eka number

    I've just had to use my EKA code for the first time recently, so I know it seems a little confusing. The EKA code (Emergency Key Access) relates to a sequence of locking and unlocking turns made with the car key in the driver's door lock. The unique code for your car will determine the exact...

    4.4 V8 cold rattle

    I would be most surprised if that was genuine mileage. Police forces usually release vehicles to market with very high mileages, but with comprehensive service/repair records as compensation. Think about it, three shifts per day will drive each car 24/7, and for that to be genuine mileage -...
