Your car looks exceptional Martyn, I'm getting inspiration from those pictures! In my case I think my back boxes are ok so it's just the centre section which needs to be done sooner rather than later. Maybe a temporary cherrybomb type centre in the short to medium term, with a full SS Janspeed...

Good call on the air filters. Mine has some K&N thing (a consequence of the LPG install I think) which I'll tolerate as long as it doesn't knacker the MAF. On the subject of your Janspeed, do you mind me asking when you did this and how much you paid? Also, forgive my ignorance but what is...

If tyres are expensive in France, what about popping over the border to Germany? Surely one of the benefits of living in continental Europe and having the same currency is that it's easy to source parts from a variety of different places? :)

No worries about the hijack, it's a topic that's relevant to my needs and one that I'm interested in (as my YouTube search history will confirm). Obviously the main thing to make a V8 sound like a V8 is the exhaust, but is there anything else relating the breathing that should be looked at...

Nice write up Stufer. Slightly more fullsome than the one on rangerovers.net which is no bad thing. In my experience of changing the o rings, the only things I'd consider adding would be noting what tools you'll need (that long screwdriver being the main one), plus suggesting a slew of new...

Brilliant information, thanks very much! :tea: Out of interest, where did you get the bulbs?

You can get replacement housing on eBay for <£10, but not sure where you'd get the key blade cut, or actually how easy it is to dismantle the existing key fob without smashing the living daylights out of the contents.

My P38 is currently at a LR specialist having a service. I've opted for the big one where everything is replaced so I know I've got a reasonable base line to start from. As expected though, a few problems have been identified. 1. Air con can't be regassed as the condenser is leaking. I plan...

I tend to agree. Regardless of how hard the hoses are, if you've cured the overheating you can sell the vehicle without feeling like you're shafting the next owner.

At this end of the market I doubt a dealer would do that as a condition of sale. You may be able to negotiate a few hundred quid off the price but if dealers renewed every potentially worn out component on 10 year old cars they'd quickly go out of business. :)

I agree with all the above in terms of economics and common sense, but applaud the guy selling them. If there isn't a market for them, they won't sell, simple as that. eBay has made me realise there is a market for EVERYTHING, so anything you've got has a value to someone, almost regardless...

Some parts of this thread read like the script to a 70s sitcom.

Before you do all this, is it worth trying to find out a bit more about what could be causing the leak/smell? When my O rings leaked there was no real smell that I was aware of, apart from that kind of vaguely wet smell you get from a damp carpet - but even that was indistinct. Coolant...

Tracking mpg on a V8 Range Rover is no more ridiculous than tracking mpg on a Nissan Micra. Identifying trends and changes over time can be a useful way to give an early warning to a service required, or could give an indication that something needs attention. If taking steps to ensure...

Thanks landyblokes, much appreciated.

I'm a kind soul (mostly) and I do have a p38, though lack confidence in the officialness of my existing wipers. All help gratefully received! :)

So I need new windscreen wipers... My usual parts vendor (eBay) lists a billion different options for p38 windscreen wipers and a quick check of rave didn't help. What is the correct official length of the driver's side and passenger's side wipers for a MY2000 P38? Is it 21" (driver) and...

Do either of the apps use proper gallons or do they use American gallons?

A member on here recently did a thread with his year one L322 expenditure on it which will be of interest to you. I'm on my phone else I'd post a link.

Doing o rings is a total pain. Going to do chrome dials whilst you've got the cluster out? Would match your new door handles... ;)
