Finally got mine sorted. My dealer ordered me another key but this time a different one. Having been told though that key 1 and key 2 are a slightly different cover, they are both exactly the same. However the new one still has the sticker on the back saying "key 2" which is a bit of a giveaway...

Well said efi. Although some prefer chip fat and seem to do well on it. :crazy:

Hi Willy, Firstly, congrats on buying your new beast. I've only had mine for about a month but I love it to bits. I have an N reg and bought it for a few £K for taking to off road events and play days etc with my little lad. They are fantastic machines if you can cope with their "funnies" and...

I've been playing with the spicy stuff like Ultimate and V-Power as well and have been doing so with my last few cars and although I did get a slightly better mpg figure, the increase in costs anyway meant it was almost of negligible benefit if any at all. To me if there is a benefit at all I'd...

Phew! Thanks guys. That will teach me to look underneath. I know my place and it's sitting firmly in the driver seat hanging on for dear life as I attempt to keep it the right way up whilst climbing up and down hills. I promise not to look underneath again. Probably.

Hello all, I've just noticed a pipe/tube underneath my beloved P38 and alarmingly, it seems to be coming from the rear axle but going into space! What the hell is it???? It comes from around the centre of the rear axle, runs underneath the fuel tank and then stops. It's not chewed, gnarled or...

Hello all, Not knowing exactly how/if my N reg P38 V8 can react to different fuels, can anyone tell me if there is any benefit to using super as opposed to regular petrol? I know more modern engines can adjust themselves depending on the octane rating but I don't know about a 16yr old engine...

Don't start trying to apply logic to a P38 RB. That way madness lies.

Sorted! Sorry to be dim but I didn't have a clue what you were on about when you said "2 of the same keys". I thought of course they are the same key it's for the same vehicle. On my Disco both keys look identical and the P38 is the first car I've had with keys looking different. However I had...

Well, it turns out it DID just need recalibrating but it was a bit fiddly. Because I couldn't do the usual of all-the-way-down and all-the-way-back-up (because when it got all the way down in automatically went all the way back up again all by itself) I gave up. However those happy chaps at the...

Hear hear Willos. It's only worth it whilst it's fun. When it starts to be a problem it's probably time to get rid. It's one thing for a weekend runabout to mess you about but quite another when it's your daily ride and your unreasonable boss wants you to come into work that day.

Yup. You're looking at about £110 for a new fob but mine arrived in only a few days. Mine is playing swapsie at the moment. Either one fob will work or the other one will. The new one seems to work fine and will control the central locking, but if I sync the spare fob then the new one stops...

You have my sympathy Darksider. There's nothing worse than a bottomless pit of both time and money. Having said that though, some cars are just like that and it doesn't matter what make or model they are. We've had two Jags, both of which were unreliable. My Wife's XJ only had a few K miles on...

Thanks Spud. I must admit the eye on the front looked pretty substantial to me but then again the car weighs almost 3 tons and given my lack of mechanical know-how I really wasn't too sure. I'm not planning on doing any really bad stuff so hopefully all I'm going to need is a bit of help...

Before I spend the next 4 hours trawling over a million maps, can anyone suggest any routes in and around Lincs and/or Notts? I'm not after anything horrendous (although I'd consider it) but something to get my tyres a bit muddy would be nice or even a pleasant off road run would be fun. Many...

Let's hope it's early summer Turbo. I'm a bit miffed at the thought of having to butcher my nose just to fit some recovery points on a pukka off road car. It's crazy. What were LR thinking? I know probably 99.95% of RR buyers will never take their car off road, but the fact is they could. And if...

Well I went to have a few bits and bobs done today (gearbox oil and a K&N air filter) but not a recovery point sadly. They say they can fit one by cutting some holes in the front bumper and welding something, I assume to the chassis. Either that or fitting a winch receiver and then they can have...

I did get a reply from LRW saying they like their writers to express their own views which is a fair point I suppose. However when I come to power that will have to stop of course. Either way until my P38 falls to bits (prolly sometime next week) I'll continue to happily drive it around...

Welcome to the club Mr Bzwu. Get yourself a 4.6 V8 Rangey. That way the engine will drown out the sound of your new arrival when it goes into transmit mode AND the emissions will tranquilise your wife's horse when towing it behind, making it a lot easier to get back in the box again at the end...

Try turning the volume down Paul and then you can get some rest. You old timers need it more than most :D
