    Warranty Direct tempted to buy a 1 year warranty for my P38 2001

    Depends if your going to DIY servicing and repairs. Check the small print to see if book stamped servicing is a condition of the cover. £775 a year buys a lot of parts for DIY but not much from a dealer/independant. Don't be too put off by what you read on the forum, most people only post...

    P38 door lock saga

    Hi Trevor, Don't buy an RF receiver from Ebay, there are three revisions of the receiver and you should fit the latest YWY500170. The cheap ones on Ebay are always old revions. See attached pic. Island 4x4 are often suggested as a good source for this item, about £200 though. Easy to fit just...

    Dived into the P38 pool after dipping toe for 25years

    Check first, you may be lucky and have the latest unit fitted. To check you need to open the unit and compare the internals. See the attached picture.

    Dived into the P38 pool after dipping toe for 25years

    Hi and :welcome: to the mad world of RR ownership. A couple of quick tips: As it's getting colder if your not using the car daily I would advise fitting some type of trickle charger but make sure it is suitable to charge while connected. The P38 hates weak batteries and can discharge...

    coolant leak in mornings

    Does it have LPG fitted? If so the heater hoses may have been tapped into and piped to the LPG.

    battery drain

    Hi Jeff, I have a clamp amp meter and when I checked mine I found it would go into sleep mode then wake up again after a few seconds. I have read before that wireless (electricity) energy monitors have a range of about 30 metres and cause this issue. I have had the blue wire removed from the...

    battery drain

    Hi Nik, Just checked on mine (2000 4.6 Thor) and it's in line with the gear selecter in park position. Maybe it's only on auto's, I never thought about manuals. It is very dim and takes some spotting.

    battery drain

    Hi Jeff, Spurious WiFi signals can be picked up by the RF reciever and stop the Becm from going into sleep mode. You can check this by locking the car and watching the red LED dot next to the gear leaver. This LED is lit dimly until the BECM goes into sleep mode after about 60 secs I think and...

    BECM Box programming

    I used to get the same issue with the indicators, all 4 on - not flashing when parked overnight on my driveway. This proved to be a symptom of the battery discharging due to the alarm not sleeping properly because of interference and an old type RF receiver. I had a wireless energy monitor...

    Welding near LPG belly tanks

    Normally LPG tanks have isolation valves so they can be removed. If you have any doubts visit an LPG installer for advise. Don't take any risks with welding near LPG tanks or lines. Remember the Landrover saying, "One life, live it".

    over heating +pressurising 300tdi issues

    Just take it to any decent local garage and ask them to do a sniff test. This is a device with a chemical that changes colour if it detects any combustion gases in the coolant and is usually cheap to have done. My friendly local usually does not charge for the test. I'd bet the head has warped...

    Alarm and lock troubles range rover says no!

    My year 2000 petrol still accepts the EKA code with the alarm sounder disconnected. I just pulled off the plug on the sounder while sorting a similar problem and yes it is bloody loud. Don't see why it should'nt be the same on a diesel. Have you followed the correct EKA procedure, ensure key...
