    help!!!!!!p38 stalling

    Hence my use of the word negligible, resistance yes but very very low, we have yet to develop the perfect conductor. Copper wire itself has negligible resistance, problems come when you try to stick too much current down too small a wire, then heat occurs and resistance increases..... If...

    any help please with replacing window regulator on p38 1999

    If someone emails it, you will still have to download it to see it, only this time you download it with the email. The manual is in PDF format which doesn't ZIP very well as PDF is already a pretty efficient (>90%) format. The quickest way is probably still to download it directly yourself...

    help!!!!!!p38 stalling

    It is reasonable for the individual injectors themselves to have a resistance of around 2.2 ohms if they are high impedance injectors, if they were low impedance injectors they would have a resistance of around 7 to 10 ohms. However, I would worry if the loom itself had a resistance of any...

    Stereo Error - TUN ER90

    This is purely a guess, I originally read this as TUNer ERror98, but isn't it possible it's just displaying the model level of tuner it has installed, i.e. TUNER 98 ? Are there any CD's in the magazine and does the magazine eject OK ? Brian ('99 DSE)

    cambelt / chain

    I think it was more of a case of "as their only profit making arm, it was all they had that would sell". I spent 10 years as an EMS consultant with Ford back in the 80's and 90's, I found that they are a company that is run by accountants. No long-term view, the most important thing are the...

    Finding a decent LR/RR garage

    How do I find a decent LR/RR garage in my area. I've only recently moved to just outside Bridport, Dorset and I've chatted to the LR Dealership in Yeovil which seems to be OK and helpful, but I really need an independant garage for purely financial reasons. My local corner garage charges...

    P38

    On the plus side, that has told you an awful lot. You have established now that the ECM is not limiting the engine power due to a sensor fault. As far as the ECM is concerned, everything is running just fine so you can eliminate at a stroke, all of the causes/faults that would be detected by the...

    2.5DSE.... Reliability.

    Glad you had a great trip, but don't you kinda think it's indicative of the RR P38 unreliability when we think our RR's are doing great because they've gone 3400 miles without breaking down or doing anything wrong? My 1993 Escort Ghia goes tens of thousands of miles without anything...

    P38 Harmon Kardon

    I would doubt that the HK specific lead(s) from the head to the boot are fitted to all RR's as they look as if they run outside the normal loom. Not too sure about all the wiring to the door amps etc. Not sure who that one's pitched to, but I don't have the RR SatNav, I use a TomTom 700 in...

    Oil leaking from rocker cover

    Looked at mine this morning while I was messing about with relays. I have a tapped boss (like yours), with nothing in it (like yours), the only difference is that mine isn't leaking oil (unlike yours) ! I would suggest that it needs plugging, but I am confused as to why it would suddenly...

    My wipers have taken over !

    I've tried switching both wiper relays (RL-1 and RL-8) and it made no difference. Been through the RAVE cd and it looks like the park switch on the wiper motor has ceased to function. When the wipers are turned off at the switch, the BECM waits to see if it can see the signal from the...

    help urgent p38 back bumper

    The numbers on the diagram relate to the numbers on the list of things to do. 7 on the diagram = "7. Disconnect 3 towing harness multiplugs." and so on. If you are really really really sure that you've done it all and it won't move than maybe its stuck up with underseal or something similar...

    help urgent p38 back bumper

    I'll go and scan the manual page in and post it here as it has diagrams which explain what's going on. Back in 10 ! I've skipped the words around the diagrams as I've already posted them. We seem to have a limit on the size of attachments here which would have made the diagrams too small to...

    My wipers have taken over !

    Thanks for your suggestions. On the basis that the cheapest and easiest options would be the one's tried first ..... is the relay a #YWB10031 (green plastic 5 pin), or is there another one ? BTW, where is this relay and is it easy to change?

    My wipers have taken over !

    I took my P38 out in the rain for the first time yesterday. I turned the front wipers on (down one click) and away they went as happy as anything. The rain stopped so I turned the wipers off, at this point I was naively believing that I still had some sort of control of them. The wipers of...

    rangie 97 4ltr petrol srs light

    I priced up a towbar when I was looking for a P38, in case I found one I was interested in that came without one. I reckoned I could buy one for around £100 all-in. In fact there's one on eBay at the moment for £94 including shipping: LAND ROVER Range Rover 94-02 Towbar (Tow Bar) Kit on...
