Hi all, I will be making a one day trip to Kent from the continent the coming weeks. I would like to combine this with maybe sourcing a few parts that are hard to find over here. Anyone in that area breaking a p38, or know of someone breaking one? Also if anyone in that area has the EAS...

I think at 140€ the dryer is not cheap! I opened mine, it seemed still okay so I'll leave it for bow and get the X8R kit. I can still change it if I find white powder in the valve block. I've got four new bags on there and replaced the ends of the pipes on the bags side at the front. I will...

Hi all, I will be repairing my valve block as the suspension behaves a bit weirdly from time to time and it sinks when sitting. I was wondering which kit to get. I have found two kits: - https://x8r.co.uk/range-rover-p38-eas-air-compressor-seal-liner-valve-block-o-ring-diaphragm-kit.html -...

Thanks everyone! The trailer does not have led lights and from what I could see it's an original tow hitch with original wiring. I was thinking that too high current would be the problem as I have double side marker lights on the trailer. Both are spliced into the corresponding's trailer...

Hi all, I am trying to find out how the BECM determines if a bulb has blown. What are the parameters it looks at? I have a trailer and each time I use it I get the error 'RH Tail Light Bulb Failure' and it shuts off all RH tail lights. Which is super annoying. Also there is no blown bulb...

I finally got round to finishing this jobs, with some detours and unexpected work. The error doesn't come back, everything is fine again! Happy days!

Remember that the pipe is still there ;) so you would need a hollow tap. Or is that what you found?

I am pleased to report it worked! I bought a standard m20x1.5 tot 1/4" hydraulic adaptor fitting and cut some slots in the thread. Also had to drill out the ID a little bit (to 17mm). Worked a treat!! New cooler installed! 6.81€ for the fitting vs 60+€ for the hose and X hours of labour. I'm...

I tried heat and tried scraping some of the aluminium out of the threads. Managed to dislodge all the corrosion and some of the old thread. A bit still left however, don't feel comfortable using it as is. I have in the mean time determined that this is a standard m20x1.5 thread, apparently...

Yeah, but that means lowering the gearbox as far as I can see. Not in for that, just got everything back together after getting to the parking pawl assembly. The threads on the pipe are not damaged but just full of old aluminium thread from the cooler. I was hoping for some magic tap or...

So I'm having a bit of a battle with the ATF cooler. Mine was leaking from the tanks on the cooler so I bought a Britpart replacement. However one of the unions on the cooler was seized due to aluminium corrosion, not possible to get it off with heat or wd40 so the threaded part on the old...

Everything finally back together, still need to test it but first some other jobs while the car is in the garage. Some advice for those tackling this job: - main thing needed is 2 ways of supporting the gearbox, one static and one jack. You will need to switch them, and be able to remove the...

I did not, but now it's too late as it's partly assembled again. But I think my solution will work, the o-ring size is within tenths of a mm of what was fitted before.

Well after weeks of waiting for parts the first steps to getting everything back together were made today. These are the little f***ers that get loose over time: Partnumber TYP000010, still available at Land Rover. I bought new ones as they include a wavy spring washer, which on the old bolts...

Well coincidentally I have a set of these! I tried them before but they don't work, they don't tilt enough and the wide part hits the prop shaft so it's impossible to get them on.

That's what I'm afraid of too. I did the front diff pinion seal today. Based on the above feedback I started looking if I could mimick the tool with standard extensions and sockets. The tool looks to be a short 9/16 socket with integrated extension piece. So with that in mind I started going...

Thanks didn't know this existed! And big brother google conveniently displayed an ad for this tool right below your reply so I already know where to get it. For future reference the tool is - Sealey SX0110 - Laser Tools 6151 - Britpart DA1065 Seems applicable for all LR up until P38 (series...

Hi, this concerns my '99 4.0 automatic p38. I have removed the prop shafts to allow me to remove the transfer case, and fix a leaky front diff pinion seal. Now, I see the 4 prop shaft bolts on each flange need to be torqued to 48Nm. But how do I do this? The UJ's are in the way of getting a...

Thanks! I'll try to update here with some pics and adaptions to Stufer's guide for future reference.

Yeah they seem like a good deal! But given the price and the state of my car I will go the cheap route now. I just want to get her driving again, she needs to prove that she's worth spending this kind of money first :p
