This post should put the cat amongst the pigeons!! How much relevance do you think there is in having a vehicle with full service History? I've read loads of post on here and other forums where people advise not to buy a Range Rover unless its got full service History (in particular P38's...

Forget my last question, I have just taken one of the pins out of the packet and seen that they are tapered. thanks anyway, Dave

Picked up some new roll pins and brackets yesterday, sprayed the brackets last night so ready to do the job. My only question is how do you get the new roll pins in, are you supposed to just knock them down through? Thanks, Dave

Can't help with your problem but nice to see a P38 caked in Sh*t, Good effort. What other vehicles were you out with? Dave.

My P38 Diesel with 92,000 miles and full service history has been so reliable in the last 12 months of ownership other than, Gearbox oil cooler pipes, Gearbox oil cooler, Water Pump, Thermostat, Recon Alternator, Disc's & pads, Brake pipes, Air flow meter, Centre and rear back box, In...

that's the one, I have found one since thank you. Dave

I replaced the grease nipples on the propshafts and UJ's at the weekend and was pleased with how succesfull the job seemed to go but after doing the job its left me with a question. When pumping the grease into the UJ's the old black grease started to ouze out and I kept going until new grease...

I had a quick look at mine at the weekend and I think your right its the check strap that have worn. Your link takes me to a check strap for a Vauxhall Vivaro?? Can you give me a basic break down on how you did the job, it look awkward to me so I would appreciate your comments, regards...

Evening all, Has anybody replaced the door check strap pins on their P38? A couple of mine seem to have worn quite badly so I was thinking of replacing them. Do they just push up through? regards, Dave

Hi there Don't suppose you have the 2 acoustic panels the one that goes under the engine and the one that goes under the gearbox? regards Dave

If you've still got them and want to part with them for a few beer tokens let me know. Would like to try them if for no other reason than out of curiosity. Regards, Dave

Mines got the cover under the intercooler in take pipe. The bits I'm on about are as follows, Page 76 on rave, chassis & body. Engine acoustic cover, Gearbox acoustic cover. Service repair 76.11.06 & 76.11.13 regards, Dave

Happened to be having a look around on Rave earlier and noted that the P38 has an acoustic cover for the gearbox and engine. They seem to look more like they offer protection more than any acoustic sound proofing. Mine seems to have both covers missing so I was wondering if anybody has any...

If any of you are thinking about changing your steering damper I strongly recommend you buy yourself one and change it. What a difference it makes, I'm presuming my previous one had been on there from new and was tired after nearly 95,000 miles of steering damping. 5 minute job to fit, instant...

Bought an Armstrong unit in the end. The price was in the middle and as far as I'm aware they have been around for years so will see how we get on. thanks for all the replies by the way, Dave

Before you all jump down my throat and tell me to do a search on this topic, I did. All I could find was a guy asking what I'm about to ask and then him getting 5 pages of arguing about the difference between genuine and non genuine parts. From what I can conclude he never actually got his...

And me please, Dave

Alot of the time mine sits around doing nothing, can be like that for weeks and it's been like that for the last 9 months. When it does get used it's lucky if it does 30 miles. Fortunately I don't have to lock it so I don't get any drain from the alarm. I think the key is to make sure that...

thanks for all the feedback guys. I feel like I've been rumbled, who am I trying to kid, you lot knows P38's better than anybody else. I've found the perfect way to keep your P38 100% reliable! Don't use it, it's worked for me!! regards Dave

Evening all, Not posted for a while on the grounds that nothing has gone wrong!! Anyway, I've been thinking about replacing the glow plugs on the P38. Just had a quick glance on Rave and it advises removing the injector high pressure pipe assembly before doing so. Is this really the case...
