Hi, seems that following the FIP disaster on this car there are now 2 other problems. When P38 is hot it won't start or takes ages to start. Think there is no electric getting to the plugs, or so I've been told. Is this easy to solve and do I need to change the plugs at same time? Also, air...

Collected car yesterday, having had second hand fuel injection pump fitted and new battery. Diagnostics needed to get it going (?) and it drove ok to work. On the way back...smoke / smell and ground to halt....peeing out fuel again and AA have now dragged it back to garage. Do you think same...

Bought second harn pump from MJM in Hull, they have lots range rovers breaking. Good service, can deliver or collect. It's being fitted now, along with new battery. Cost £250 for the pump and £20 for a good battery. Bill might not be as bad as thought. Thanks for all the great advice -...

many thanks for the number, unfortunately he didn't have exact part needed but will def use him for other bits. Thanks!

The garage took it to reputable place in Hull - Kingston. They ttok apart and said it is 'knackered' completely inside, shattered? Cannot be refurb-ed. Need either one from scrap car or a refurbed one from somewhere else. Breakers yards don't seem to have them...rare to find one? 3 weeks in...

Hi, my P38 2.5 DSE languishing in garage awaiting replacement FIP - garage have removed old pump which was looked at closely by refurb company - they think it has been damaged by using veg oil mix. Going to cost up to £800 with fitting on top if I can't find one from breaker's yard. Word of...

Can anyone tell me if you need to get the Exact replacement for the FIP for this car? The old one has a part number on the side of it and there seem to be ones about with slightly different part numbers? The car is still sitting in the garage as I decided I wasn't willing to pay the £800 plus...

Will ask about the warranty thing. I think they took it as given that the job was theirs as the AA man had dumped it there and they know I need it for work as soon as. They did say it would be £800 for the refurb on the unit and then labour on top, indicating its a big job to remove it and...

Many thanks for this. Unfortunately when I rang the garage to say i was getting it moved to a landy specialist nearby they said they already had the engine in bits, taking the pump out. They are sending it for refurb and will then re-fit it they say. I've got no choice on this now. Think the...

many thanks..will get it taken to one. Worried now that garage will actually make things worse, if they aren't used to these? Other problems on this car - key fob not working, heated seats don't work, no radio present, indicator sticks on, warning message says the windows aren't set? What does...

Hi, I'm new to the site and have just got Range Rover. Had a week and already got major problem - separate posting. Thanks for the friendly replies so far! Have 1998 Rangie 2.5 DSE auto, metallic greay and lovely looking. Few problems, sticking left indicator, heated seats don't work, message...

By the way...any recommendations for good guys to help near York or Hull?

This might sound really ignorant but was does 'resynced' mean and where do you get this done? I feel a bit like I'm stuck letting the garage carry on with what they are doing or do you think I should get the car to the local landy specialist for definite? Then get the full seal kit and ask them...

Many thanks. Will have to get it trailered to local landy specialist then, as its auto so can't be towed. 1st P38 and probably last! Any help appreciated as I think sometimes if you're female they take the pee.

AA man did this and no leak from there...much further down he said, we couldn't see anything even with torch, although he could get fuel on his fingers when he shoved them in. Garage have said only option is to take FIP off and send it for refurb and then re-fit?
