    P38 - Door of doom

    Hi Guys, I wonder if someone can offer some fairly urgent advice please. "Urgent" because my beloved beast is scheduled for its MOT by 15th May and suddenly, a week before I was going to put it in, its decided to lock the front passenger door, and not open it again. When I activate the central...

    Ich bin ein Nurburgringer

    Hello all, As a break from my usual grumblings at what fresh horror my beloved P38 has brought to my life, I thought I'd report some good news for a change. I'm working over in Holland at the moment and am in my D4. The best, most comfortable kit lugger bar none. However, as I had a rare...

    Disco 4 - LED lights

    Hi all, Does anyone know if it's feasible to activate the snazzy LED lights on a Disco 4 XS? Mine has them but of course unless you fancy shelling out another 6 to 8 £K for the HSE, LR cunningly don't enable them. Is it likely to be a software thing or a nasty hardware issue where they don't...

    What the ????????

    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...

    Best fuel for a 4.6 V8?

    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...

    Lincs/Notts mud plugging?

    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...

    Land Rover World - bath ruiners

    Land Rover World (LRW) have a lot to answer for. There I was, luxuriating in a nice warm bubbly, relaxing bath, reading the July issue of LRW, when I happened upon the "Heritage on the Run" article. Quite interesting I thought, until I read the direct attack the writer planted square on the nose...

    Possessed rear windows

    What ho all. My rear windows seem to have gone a little wild on my Disco 4. I could take it back into the dealer of course but I just wondered if there was something simple to be done. If I put the windows up, they hit the top stop and then roll halfway back down again. The only way to get...

    P38 - Phantom gearbox fault?

    Hello, My N Reg 4.6 HSE occasionally pops up and says that there is a gearbox fault. However, the garage says this happens if the battery has been flat or something. It's had the diagnostics done and nothing showing. The gearbox has been checked out at the garage. The gearbox oil is pink and...

    What ho all.

    Hello all, Just a quick note to say hi. I'm in sunny rural Lincolnshire (good place to be for a Landy owner me thinks) with my shiny new Disco 4 XS and a not so shiny P38A 4.6 HSE. Looking forward to contributing but prolly more often than not asking questions. Apologies up front as I'm...

    Newbie help - P38A minor off-road prep

    Hello all, I was wondering whether someone could tell me how easy/difficult it would be to remove the front spoiler (complete with lights) and the side steps from my Rangey. It's an N reg 4.6 HSE. I bought it last weekend and it's passed MOT and a bit of a road test but it has sidesteps...
