What are the main differences between the P38 2.5 DSE and the P38 2.5 DT? I have heard different things from different people: IE one has a sunroof, one comes with fog lights, one has electric seats etc, some say there are differences within the engine bay and some mention that they were...

I do not seem to be able to wake the beast up. I turn the key and all I get is a clicking sound and a very quick message flash bye saying Motor Disabled!? Also I noticed that the locking button on the key would not lock the doors etc, but the key can still unlock. On top of that, even by...

Just came across this new video which I thought rather interesting. Just a pity it's in Russian, but saying that, it's easy enough to follow:

Hi all, Has anybody come across jump leads with the sort of connectors in the attached image? Or better still does anybody know where I could get a set of these connectors/plugs? Cheers.

Hi there, Last Saturday, luckily on a roundabout, my front drive-shaft decided to part ways with the transfer box. Made a bit of noise too. Now my question is what might have caused it. My main train of thought leads me to the Viscous Coupling in the transfer box, but at the mo I cannot get to...

Something odd has just happened. Got into the beast, turned the key to start her up and nowt! At first it seemed that I had a dead battery, but then I heard a click then another click within the cabin. I removed the key and then put it back in the ignition and tried again. This time the clicking...

Got a tiny problem. My front left window opens but does not close unless I remove the door panel and connect a battery directly to the "up" wire. Now this started after my so called mechanic had had to remove (and then replace) the central tunel fittings (and the fixtures around the gear stick...

Hi there, Can someone please tell me what these tubes are made from (rubber or silicone) and where should I be able to get some from? Thanks in advance.

I would like to know which spring conversion kit I should go for and which ones to stay clear of. I've seen the following: a P38 Air to Coil Conversion Kit on Paddocks for just under £240.00. Terrafirma TF222HD Conversion Kit Medium Load 1 Inch Lift from Challenger 4x4 for £280.00 P38A ARNOTT...

Ok, I know this subject has been thrashed, but I would like to hear what the P38 is really like on springs from owners who have changed from the EAS. Please, no comments about the EAS system being the better option, we all know the pros and cons. What I am really interested in knowing is what...

Can someone tell me how I might be able to get the EKA for my DSE (again) please? My wallet got swiped and it was inside )o;

I know that this has been covered before, but some time ago now and the images and template that where in the original topic are no longer online. Can anybody at least tell me (and others) the dimensions and correct location for making the necessary "cuts" to get access to the fuel sender pump...

Right, I've just gone and bought a new battery for our 2.5DSE and hooked it up. Now something odd has happened, I went to fire her up and the dash came up with the "Engine blocked" sign. I find this odd as yesterday when I was removing the old battery all was well. Another thing I can't seem...

Hi there, Does anyone know what size is the front height sensor link to radius arm nut? I can not seem to find any reference to it in my copy of the workshop manuel. Thanks in advance.

Can someone tell me please if there is a way to tell if a height sensor is not working?

Hi there, Right, has anyone got an idea what could have caused the following: I have just gone and picked up our P38 from my mechanic after having new Boges, Polys and a complete set of Arnott Gen II (2’s) fitted. While at the mechanics he told me that he had “cleaned” the...

Looking for a new set of shocks and I have heard that the Bilstein B6 Yellows are not that. Any opinions?

Hi all, first off, Happy New Year. Just got into my RR, started her up and then, as I went to apply the clutch, I noticed that the peddle was no where to be seen/felt! I shut down the motor and got out and took a look only to find the clutch peddle tucked up nicely against the floor/fire-wall...

Can anybody tell me if you "swap" the rear diff over to the front? My front one is on it's way out and I was going to swap them over for a pair of LSDs, but as things are a tad tight I was wondering if I could replace the front one with the one I have in the rear (which is all ok) and then drop...

This might sound a tad mad, but does anyone know if you can fit a BMW M57D30 into a '99 2.5DSE (manual)?
