    Ebay Search Title

    What do you guys and girls find the best search title when looking for P38's on Ebay. I don't seem to get many examples when I put Range Range P38 and use Cars as the category, I got more just putting Range Rover 4.6. Some came up in both searches and I lost track of what one's I'd already seen...

    We Buy Any Car

    Has anybody on here used We Buy Any Car before to sell a vehicle. Their on line valuation has just valued my P38 at £3730. Now before everybody tells me to bite their arm off do they usually quote this figure and then pull the motor to pieces when they look at it and assume you've gone that...

    Availability of Latest RF Receiver

    Has anybody got any news on getting hold of the latest RF Receiver. I've tried the usual suspects who say they can't get hold of them. I'm loathed to go to a main dealer but fear it may be the only answer, although I'm not sure they will be able to help they seem so scarce. Ebay seems to be...

    Defender Prices and LEZ

    A visitor from the dark side looking for opinions, advice or whatever takes your fancy!! These days I seem to be driving the P38 around without passengers or the Transit with hardly anything in the back. Had a brain wave, buy a Defender and kill 2 birds with 1 stone as they say. To say...

    Blend Motors Not Blending!!

    Typical, first sign of single digit temps and the blend motors throw a hissy fit!! Can someone enlighten me on exactly what is happening in the bowels of the dashboard under the following conditions. Driving along on low both sides most of summer no problem. As colder temps have come along...

    Latest RF Receiver

    Can anybody confirm if the latest receiver a) Stops all stray signals waking up the becm. b) Will malfunction to the point where it can't stop stray signals from waking up the becm. I have the latest version and for the first time in 18 months I came out to a flat battery (parked on my...

    Day Time Running Lights

    Is there a country code in the becm that runs daytime running lights at all? If not then my P38 is experiancing one of those 'mad lecky' moments that only a P38 can suffer because both front and rear lights are on all the time when driving. They still flick between side and headlights on the...

    Door Micro Switch, Easy Job?

    I've suspected the micro switch has been suspect on the passenger front door for a while now as the interior lights don't come on when it's open and the EAS is fully functional with the door open. Now the alarm has been triggered and it's showing as that door. For some reason my PC is not...

    How Long To Reach Running Temp On A V8?

    Long time P38 owner who's looking at getting a Disco 2 V8 and using as a van. Bit of a petrol head so a proper commercial not on the shopping list. Had a drive in one today 2001 with 90k covered. All seemed ok but it surprised me how long it took to reach running temp. This is compared to the...

    Lucky Escape

    Had to the possibility of buying my mates 03 L322 Vogue V8 with 60k on the clock for £5k. It's what LR offered him in px for a TDV8. I was all up for it because I thought at that price I could knock it out over night for £5k if I didn't like it. Anyway he thought about it for a week, not about...

    Shocks. Done To Death But Humour Me!!

    I know, covered many times and I've searched til I've needed matchsticks to keep my eyes open but still need some up to date opinions. My P38 runs on the original factory fitted genuine shocks (50k miles) and as far as I can tell they still work fine, but I find the ride on less than perfect...

    Think I Put It On Too Cheap!!

    Put the LSE on ebay last night. Phone call 5 minutes after going live. Guy turned up today with the reddys. Must have been too cheap. Still I got more than enough to convince the Mrs a Jag XJR really is the way forward:) So can't really grumble. Fastest I've ever sold a motor, must have got...

    Seat ECU Overhaul

    The seat switch has started working the mirrors and not the seats on the LSE so I guess after 20 years the ECU battery has decided to empty its contents and added something else to the 'TO DO' list:( Replacing with new seems to be a non starter and second hand are rare and still rather pricey...

    Transmission Cooler Replacement.

    My Bog Brush (Trans Cooler) has perished on the LSE. My copy of Rave doesn't seem to cover it at all and there's no mention of it in the haynes manual either. I've had a quick peep and replacing through the front grill seems to be the best way to go. Can anybody that's done this before shed...

    Blend Motors/Heater Temp Sensor?

    2002 P38. Did a 200 mile return journey to Loughborough at the weekend. On the way home outside temp dropped to 1 degree, climate set at 24 degrees both sides, started feeling chilly so turned up the heat in 1 degree stages with no noticeable difference, got to 28 degrees still not much more...

    How Crap Are Blend Motors!!!

    Having replaced the blend motors and o-rings on my last P38 at about 75K miles and the new P38 having covered only 40K miles I was hoping it was a job I wouldn't have to face again in the near future. Looking through the comprehensive history that came with the car it now looks like it maybe...

    Oh Dear Went Out For A Pub Lunch, Came Back With A New P38

    Been looking to change our P38 for something slightly newer for a while. Test drove a 53 reg TD5 Disco with 70K on it Saturday. For fear of being abused by the Disco boys it must have been a baden, coz it was not very nice. Engine pulled alright but it was noisy and unrefined and the misses...
