Is that something I can sort with my nanocom? I'm in a pretty alarmed state myself!!

Just went to use the RR to nip to the shops and greeted with "Gearbox Overheat" message. The engine appears to be disabled as it won't start, won't even turnover. It's not a flat battery or anything as the lights don't dim when you try to start the car. It's a 1998 DSE manual. Tried to see...

It's just passed 120,000 miles so the pump did quite well.

Driving home from work on Monday the DSE went from normal to overheating almost immediately. Stopped and let it cool down then drove home in half mile jumps. Luckily I only had a couple of miles to go. I was pretty sure it was the water pump as the overheating was so rapid. The benefit of doing...

This petition is being put forward to reinstate the 25 Year Rolling Classic Car Tax. Thought it might be of interest to us LR/RR owners. Return 25 Year Rolling Classic Car Tax - e-petitions

Had the same problems on my DSE. Turned out to be the two little non-return valves. Both of them were gummed up with black goo!! Bought some off eBay, they are pretty universal and hey presto! working washers. Been through the pain of looking at the pumps and getting very wet in the process but...

I've had my 2.5 DSE for best part of a year now. Biggest benefit for me, by far, over the classic RR and Discovery's (I've had several over the years) is not having to dig out the MiG welder every few months to weld in new floor panels/sills/inner wings. The mechanics on a P38 are pretty simple...

Fixed the drivers side heated front seat. Two breaks in the wires across the middle of the seat base where they have to go under the hog ring wire. Typical failure. Soldered in some more robust wire and replaced the thermostat. Now warms up really well, just in time for winter!! Then fitted...

Fixed the passenger side heated front seat. Not that hard to do just a bit time consuming. The thermostat was broke on mine all the wiring was fine. Works a treat now. Wished I'd done the drivers side now but wanted to make sure I could get somewhere if it all went "Pete Tong" and I needed some...

When I first got my diesel manual the gearbox was really notchy and changing down to second was a bit of a struggle. Drained it and refilled with MTF94 and it was like having a different box, much smoother and easier changes. Went through the same dilemma of MTF vs Dexron. GSF car parts sell...

Passed my first MOT with the P38. Flew through no advisories. Such a pleasure after years of pre-MoT welding with Classic RRs and Discoveries. Well pleased.:D

Spent several happy hours with off-roading in forestry land in Exmoor. Nothing too extreme but some steep climbs and heavily rutted tracks with a few small patches of mud. Never missed a beat all day.

I remember the classic being the height of style and luxury before all the pretenders to the RR throne appeared so always had a soft spot for them but having spent many hours welding them back together my P38 diesel has been and continues to be a breath of fresh air. For me the the L322 is good...

More than likely, I'll give it the once over during the week.

Good point, just checked with my Nanocom. Front Right height sensor out of range, reset the height and now working fine, no faults recorded. Quick check of everything else and all clear.

Just got back from a weeks holiday with the family towing a folding camper (big old American thing vintage 1980) with my 1998 DSE manual. 700 miles round trip Plymouth to Bristol, London, Bath and back to Plymouth averaged 24.9mpg which I think is pretty good. Had one mad moment when an EAS...

Mine was really tight and managed to undo it be jamming a rag behind the belt on one of the pulleys so that it stops the belt slipping. Worked a treat for me.

I've got a nanocom in Plymouth that I can plug in to your P38 to have a look. PM me if you want.

No problem. PM me and we'll see what we can sort out.

I've got a Nanocom Evo for a P38 diesel. Should talk to all models for eas and SRS. I'm in Plymouth.
