P 38 now sold.

Rover75lover : - I have sent you an email to the email address that you sent to me. Grrrrrr : - It is still available. It is diesel 2.5. Is £1000 - 1250 about the right price ?

Thanks for the link to Sale and Wanted Mark and I have transferred my thread to that. I did not realise there was a sale and wanted section otherwise I would have gone there first. This thread above is in fact headed "Marketplace" so I thought it was the correct place. A bit confusing ? Sorry !!

Hi I hope I am ok to post this advert here and I am not breaking the Forum rules in any way. Our 2001 P38 R/.Rover diesel has broken its front propshaft which has launched into the gearbox underside . The gearbox was starting to slip anyway and would have needed replacing. It therefore needs...

HI I dont know if I am allowed to post this on this thread but I hope so ! Our 2001 P38 R/.Rover diesel has broken its front propshaft which has launched into the gearbox underside . The gearbox was starting to slip anyway and would have needed replacing. It therefore needs another gearbox and...

Wammers and Datatek very many thanks for both of your replies. I had a horrible feeling that it might be an indication of something else in the future. Will check the connector and sensor and hope for the best. Many thanks.

Year 2001 P38 R/Rover diesel Auto. Garaged outside and used reasonably infrequently. Last Friday left home at about 7pm. Temperature outside was about - 5 degrees although it had been nearly -10 overnight. Suspension was quite slow in coming up. About 5 miles from home after travelling a few...

Thanks very much indeed Datatek and Wammers. Very kind of you to take the trouble to reply. Will now investigate further ! Many thanks.

Any help please ? Year 2000 P38 Range Rover diesel. I cannot get the passenger side window to go up. The drivers window still operates but it makes a nasty "clacking" noise when it gets to the top of the door. I dont know if these 2 things are connected. I have had this problem with the...

Thanks very much for the replies. I want to keep the Solex. The Solex is new old stock so I dont really want to replace it. I was thinking of fitting a switch for the pump so that you could switch off the pump a minute or so before switching off the engine - thereby reducing the fuel left...

I have Solex 40 PAIO carbs as fitted to Series 2 and 2a land rovers. After a run and when I have switched the engine off I can hear a gurgling in the carb which I have checked and it is petrol flooding out of the carb into the inlet tract. I have checked all the normal things i.e fuel...

Thanks very much Marty. I will investigate !

Thanks very much Marty and Grrrrr for the replies. The switch in the door for the rear window doesnt operate the window either. The only way I can close the 2 windows is with the "lazy lock". The sunroof operates normally. Does this point to just a fault in the switchpack i.e. the 2...

P38 T/Diesel year 2001. A sudden fault has developed with both the nearside electric windows. Initially they can both be operated to go down. However they will then not go up. I can get the windows to go up by stopping the car and then operating the remote twice to lock the doors - i.e...

Thanks. However, apart from the obvious sign (i.e. that they leak) how does one know that the plungers need replacing when you rebuild the valve block ? It seems to me that the sealing at this point is very important. Just replacing all the O rings may still leave you with minute leaks at...
