    Damp in passengers footwell

    Smell of coolant also - will it still most likely be the matrix pipe 'o' rings as the driver's side is bone dry

    Wheel wobble

    Steering damper?

    My rear-view mirror is leaking - honest !

    No that I use it much anyway, being a Range Rover driver and all that, but my rear-view mirror has started leaking some dark liquid. :confused: The actual reflective surface of the mirror has become 'dulled', as if there is some kind of viscous layer between the glass. I never use the 'Auto'...

    P38 Exhaust Recommendations

    I have found Island 4x4 exhausts to be a good, durable standard. I've used them both for my P38 and a Classic before that, no problems and not a 'tinny' rasp when fitted

    Stolen Rangies sold as repaired

    A Range Rover/Land Rover etc is essentially a vehicle constructed in two parts - the chassis with running gear and the 'bolt-on' body. As is the nature of the vehicle, the majority of Rangie/Landy write-offs are as a result of serious body damage when the vehicle has rolled. In such cases the...

    exhaust P38 where from

    Mine is a single rear box which I found from Island 4x4. They have items on Fleabay but for some reason if you go to their own website, things are cheaper still. Mine has been on for 2 months now, no probs. Good Luck

    P38 - No rear screen wash

    I've only managed a quick look from underneath at the bottom of the screen wash bottle. Is there one common motor with two feeds (front and rear wash) or are there two motors. Is there a fuse Can anyone remind me of the link to the landrover.ownerinfo P38 site Many thanks

    MOT Failure due to Lambda readings -

    Many thanks for the reassurance, I was sure that the fault was with the hole in the system, not least because the probe was still inserted at the tailpipe and was not getting a full burst of exhaust gases. I've managed to find a replacement rear box for £70 inc P&P from a company called Island...

    MOT Failure due to Lambda readings -

    My P reg 4.6 has just failed the MOT for two reasons that I hope are interconnected. Just ahead of the rear box (single pipe, not double) there's a gaping hole in the exhaust, so it failed for that, also the Lambda reading was too high - 1.180 was the lowest. I'm hoping that the new exhaust...

    P38 4.6 Transmission noise

    My car is a 1996 4.6 HSE with 91k covered. Over the last week or so the car has developed what I can only call a noise - not a whine as such, from the transmission. It appears at about 1,500 revs and above, and I can only determine that it fluctuates in tandem with the engine revs. There is no...

    Removing P38 light guards..

    I'm thinking of removing the front and rear light guards but wanted to know what the car will look like afterwards in terms of screw holes in panels etc. It's obviously a simple job but will the car end up looking worse with holes needing grommets all over the place.

    P38 rear doors - women trouble

    With the exception of my dog I don't normally let females in my P38 (touching things, talking and asking questions etc, etc). Was forced to let my kids in the back the other day, and only then noticed that the rear doors do not sound as 'solid' as the fronts when they close. Is this normal or...

    4.6 oil consumption

    I have a 1995 4.6 HSE showing 90k miles - any thoughts as to what acceptable oil consumption should be? I normally use 15/40 semi-synthetic, the car only ever does short runs, doesn't appear to blue smoke, nor does it have anything other than the usual minor leaks. Cheers

    4.6 - Water emulsion on the oil filler cap...

    Just given the car the fortnightly oil top-up and found just the hint of emulsion film inside the neck of the oil filler. had a peek into the rocker cover, didn't seem to be any more down there that I could see. Engine temp is fine, guage points straight up all the time and the power seems...

    Where to get my P38 serviced in or around EX22

    Many thanks for the recommendation. Just so you know, Tredown won't touch anything petrol, he will only service/sell landys & disco dielsels, don't know why except that he thinks diesels are 'easy'.........

    Hi, I'm looking to get my P38 serviced without paying more than I did for the car. Any ideas for the EX22 area of Devon. Cheers

    Steering Judder on RR 4.6

    I've had my car a few weeks and have noticed a tendency for the steering to judder occasionally when a front wheel (either one) encounters a pothole or similar in the road. The wheel vibrates quite violently for about 5 secs and then returns to normal. I'm thinking steering damper, but any...
