Doesn't sound like your glow plugs to me. Sounds more like you have got fuel running back. Before you start it in the morning lift the bonnet, look at the white clear plastic pipe from the filter to the pump. Get "her indoors" to turn the ignition on and have a look to see if the pipe has got...

re: oil leak Grab a torch and a cloth, lie under the front end, look between the pulley and the sump. On the front cover there is a small hole with a thread in. Wipe that clean and dry, then start your engine. Watch to see if oil starts leaking out of that hole. If it does, it's the oil seal...

Hi there, sorry to hear you are still battling with the rangie. I've only just read your post. Try one more thing. Change the cap on the header tank. It could be releasing the pressure and causing it to over heat. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

As an owner operator of volvos, scanias and fodens with the configuration of 6x4 and 8x4's, I can tell you with complete confidence that the first of the rear drive axles has an intermediate diff on the front. The drive is taken off the propshaft and distributed to each diff seperately, much...

There are 2 switches where the cannister is: 1 is actually on top of the cannister that is your two stage switch, the other one is on the pipe at the side of the cannister, that is the one you should be testing. This second one is the one that switches the fans on and off. Pull the plug off it...

Firstly the dipstick has a big round orange flat top. If you lift your bonnet and look in from the passenger side, you'll see it just behind the engine dipstick towards the back corner of the block. The oil cooler is seperate on the automatic and sits behind where the nearside fog light would...

Actually before you start cutting your socket set up, it might have been a 27mm long reach socket! Just double check!

Did the job myself, however, you need a special socket with slots in the sides for the wires on No.4 injector. Luckily for me my friend owns a diesel injection company, so he got me the injector and lent me the socket to do the job. If you've got a 24mm deep socket and can cut the side out of...

Bit of a nightmare! You need to take out the whole instrument panel. Just to put one bulb in! You need to take the 2 side panels off first, then if you've got the standard LR radio, remove the little panels in the recess around it. You will have 2 screws either side of the radio, 2 more...

You should definetly not be able to hear any whistling when the turbo comes in. As Matt has said, it could be your injectors. No. 4 injector is critical as it is a sensor injector, I have recently changed it on mine and I noticed an increase on mpg. This injector is the most expensive at...

To test the fans - take the front grill off, find the wire that comes out of the fan motor and trace it down to the connector, one on each motor. Disconnect one at a time. Get a length of 2 core wire of approx 1 metre long, put 2 connectors at one end that will just fit inside the plug of the...

Sorry to hear about your problem. I have got a P reg 2.5dse and had exactly the same problem about 2 years ago, she'd done about 110,000 miles then. It actually blew the top out of the rad. Before that happened it kept getting hot and over heating. The cause of my problem was the fans for...

1)the ex-wife 2)the Trans World Airline Trainee in Leicestershire who will fine you for putting rubbish in the bin! 3)myself, for buying a toyota surf and expecting it to do what the range rover will do, hence I abbandoned the trailer in the field

Hi Matt, Just read about your problems, I've had the same in the past with my p38. Do the following before starting your car in the morning. The first thing you want to check is if the air tank is staying full overnight, it sounds to me as if it is draining out. Open the bonnet stand on the...

Hiya Jay, think you might find your air con is not working. That belt should be driving the pump for the air con. It's quite easy to replace, however, you will have to take the other belt off first. Might be an idea to put both back on new while you're at it. Good luck!

Hi Daz, been reading all about your problem. I've experienced exactly the same for the past week. I've got a P38 1997 with 150,000 miles. The problem originally started in Italy in November 05. It started up with a slight miss, then corrected itself.......until last week. It would run the...

I had the same problem last year with my 1997 P38. It turned out to be a leak on the front springs. Simple way I found out was by tipping contents of window cleaner down sink (much to girlfriends annoyance!) and filling it with soapy water. Raise the car to its highest level and spray...

Find out which halfshaft has broken, by ondoing the bolts around the cap in the middle of the wheel. Pull it out. You'll soon see if it is broken or not. Just replace the one. However, if the half shaft has broken within 6 inches of the cap, shine a torch up the tube to make sure it hasn't...

I love land rovers but I HATE computers. I really don't know how this whole forum thing works yet, but I love reading about all the different experiences with the vehicles. We have had a lot of experiences with our P38...... home and abroad! i spend most of my time underneath it rather than...
