lol im an optimist most of the time...and glad I could give you a laugh on the suspension - I am not a mechanic and I live in a small town and everyone is scared of land rovers...so I am kinda forced to try and figure out stuff myself... closest mechanic that would even consider working on a...

lol duh i didnt even think to look at the stick haha ok there are 2 sections or 2 lines on the stick but no indicators saying what the level means. The fluid is halfway between the 2 lines on the stick.

Hey guys... When I first got this rover I had a red fluid leak in the front behind the driver side headlight. It has stopped leaking so I am wondering what fluid is low. Below is a pic of my power steering fluid level, is it low? Also a pic of the general area of the leak. Also I have a...

ok first thing is the Right rear quarter panel... how hard is it to get off? based on the picture is it worth repairing and repainting? now on to the rear gate in the 2nd photo you can see ripples in it... Would it be possible to get those out? ither by accessing the inside and banging them...

yes its an automatic - ok gonna buy transmission fluid - thanks

hey guys I'm in the US and have a 99 p38 wondering if i can just buy basic power steering fluid for my rover? if this is a dumb question sorry! :P Jerry

ok got a few things to look at thank you...

Hey folks, pulled out real fast the other day and these 2 warnings came up together... abs fault and traction failure... now they are coming up every time I start the vehicle and press the brake. abs light and TC(traction control I'm assuming?) light are staying on any ideas? Thanks, Jerry

ok guys a little update: I replaced the seals on my old heater core first off. Refilled the fluid and it leaked. GGrrrr! So I bought a new heater core with rings... it came in I switched it all out tightened it down filled it up and bam no leak. A week later I'm driving along and hear a...

lol thanks for all the posts folks - I have yet to clean out the plugs cause I kinda lost the cleaner for a while. Just unplugging the underside or the fuse box and plugging it back in has removed enough corrosion for my windshield wipers to work properly. Maybe one day I'll get bored enough to...

Im in the US Kentucky to be exact Before I started this adventure I started the vehicle to test the wipers and they didn't come on. So I turned them to the off position - popped the hood and took my knuckle and tapped on the fuse box and when I got back towards the green plug and tapped it the...

ok guys I got an update: started removing the fusebox under the hood and found my problem right away. The green colored plug that plugs into the bottom of the fuse box is covered in white/blue corrosion. The female parts of the plug and the male parts under the box are both covered. I'm assuming...

False alarm folks...Sorry @datatek I think you are right however I havn't had time to remove the box - I got a feeling I was wrong about the relay because they are still acting funny. I think just tinkering with that fusebox fixed it for a shortbit and now its back - at least I have gotten...

Yea I'm in the US - Where better to get advice on this vehicle than where it came from? :D Thanks for the quick response Saint.

hey folks, Just wanted to share some of the fun I've been into the last couple hours. After smelling coolant inside the vehicle I skimmed the wonderful internet to find advice leading to the heater core. Well sure enough it was leaking and I could actually see it leaking prior to doing what you...
