Hi folks. My 4.6 use has surprised me by going almost a month without any new faults. BUT... When it is cold my auto gearbox will not move in reverse. It feels like it's a clutch not getting any traction. If I rev like hell, the car jerks back a few inches. I then pull it forward without...

I did a similar post yesterday. I didn't want to mention this either for fear of ridicule. Mine went on a stunningly hot day a couple of months back. Do tell how you get on, as someone told me that they are £180 for a replacement.

700 inches is enough to kill someone in a 2.5ton range rover with NO BRAKES.

This has happened to me. Mine was a poor battery connection in the fob. Between unlocking the door and starting the engine, if the fob battery has disconnected, even for a second, it won't fire up. It's easy to damage these connections when fob batts are changed.

Beat me to it...was going to ask the same thing. The new headlining route is sounding the the best option.

Mines a 97. BUT....:eek::eek::eek: £180 for a mirror??!!! Thats obscene! I don't need the dimming function, anyone know if there is a standard one that will fit?

It is a GEMS, but I cant see a way around removing the plenium cos its in the way. Does that need a new gasket? My main question is about torque settings. I'm a clumsy idiot and will probably crack something.

I'm in Corby, about a £ton of fuel away!

Excellent. Probably not an issue then.....cool

Hi, Hi have the odd drop of oil coming from from one rocker cover gasket. On the side where all the air flow stuff is. Have ordered gasket kit, and collecting from parts shop later. Is it a griefy job? Are torque settings an issueon the rocker cover? Is this a symptom of another problem? Ady

OK....bought lead of ebay, plugged in laptop and reset EAS. All works fine now.... I'm sure these things are in built to prop up up dealers with needless servicing. Still all working for 23 nicker.....yay

Hi all Whent I fire my 97 p38 up, the abs and tc (and sometimes the handbrake too) lights stay on untill the car is driven a few yards. The braking seems odd during this period either it feels like brakes are locked on a bit OR that there is no pressure in the servo. BUT by the time I'm at...

Hi, my p38 RR has one of those interior mirrors that dims on the push of a button. I never used it as the rear window has privacy film which takes care of headlight dazzle. My problem is that my mirror went cloudy a couple of months ago apart from one small area about an inch or so wide. It...

Hi all, Had my p38 for about 6 months and still have not got around to fixing the sagging head lining, but wife is now nagging. I have seen a few p38s of my cars era (97) on ebay where the buyers have listed this as an issue, so I guess some on here have fixed it? Any advice? I guess some...

Hi all, My front driver window keeps pausing half way up and I get the window blocked message on the dash. When you force it up its slightly out of alignment and does not seal well. You get a bit of wind noise. Glass feels a bit loose too. Common problem? Easy Fix? Any Parts required...
