i did read that if you've got leaks in the air suspension - like i do (mine is on its bushes the day after), the EAS system will be working every couple of hrs levelling the car, but that's only going to be a 'drain' on one night, after that once it's sunk to the bushes, it's not going to be...

gulp...well actually i installed it, and while i'm certainly no specialist, it was simple even for me. just plugged it in, there wasn't much else to it - hard to f up really.

after going through the dead battery saga, I changed the RF receiver (£150 from a dealer!), so it can't be cos of that. but I’m not entirely happy with it. For a start, contrary to what i've read on it, it’s much weaker than the previous one (i was then told by a mechanic 'of course...

I've got a '96 P38 and have been getting "Engine Disabled”, EVERY time I turn the key in the ignition, it’s been going on for a while and it's driving me nuts! I know you can apparently press the button on the fob when starting up, to override this, but that doesn't work for me. So I need to get...

Hi all, So i've finally got my new RF receiver for my P38, but i can't get the bloody spring clips off the panel by the rear quarter glass. Any tips?? 1 other question - I've noticed that some times when i start up and engage "D", nothing happens i.e. the car doesn't move, and doesn't...

ok, a doddle then! thanks.

If i've understood correctly, fitting the new receiver doesn't require any soldering - just need to connect the plugs. is that right?

ok! new RF receiver it is then! i was going to first try disconnecting and see if that worked, but judging by what i've read from some of you guys, it's not really a solution. i'd rather enjoy my P38! at the moment, every time i get home, I have to get under the bonnet and twist this key to...

no they are definitely 17s. as you say, they look good, but a narrower tyre is meant to be better even for grip on icy surfaces. thanks for that.

Can anyone provide instructions for disconnecting the aerial from the RF receiver. I'd rather not F things up! There were a few pics posted of the RF receiver, but i can't see any relevant wires in the pic. Any more info would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

thanks for all your comments. I saw on Beamends the price is GBP 140, which is a bit steep for a part that probably cost less than 5 pounds to manufacture, but it seems like it'll be money well spent in the long run, so i'll probably take the plunge!

Hi all, I bought a 1996 4.6 HSE a week ago - compared to my Disco 1, it's a completely different experience behind the wheel, and I'm delighted I got it. I am however suffering with the battery, which I now learn is an issue with the P38. The previous owner installed a switch connected to the...

just noticed a leak recently under the car, next to the front right hand wheel. i thought it could be the windscreen fluid at first, because of the position (i've got a LHD) but it seems as if it's water. the other half said that something had dripped on her foot, as she sat in the passenger...

Cheers for that Gary. As the steering works fine (albeit whines a bit) when the transmission fluid is topped up, and progressivley gets worse as it drains away, I did think that eliminating the leak was the best way forward, rather than changing the whole box. It's been dragging on for a few...

thanks everyone for your help!
