Unless you don't screw your filter on properly that is :P

I had something similar to this and it turned out to be air getting into the fuel system because I hadn't tightened the filter enough after service... It tended to stall as a consequence though so maybe not the same symptom? It was suggested to look at the fuel quantity servo, I'm sure more...

Noooo that's what disco's are for With a Range Rover the butler does the burying :D

We used to have a modded disco 1 which which you did not take around roundabouts at speed, whereas my P38 never once felt unstable (boat like yes but not unstable :P ). I've always thought that converting a P38 to coils effectively changes it to a Disco, but aren't they perfectly capable on them...

The DHSE is more than capable of what you're asking until, as has been said, the gearbox goes.. Personally I'd say keep it, and when the gearbox goes replace with the stronger version, a Datatek guide for which I'm sure will be out soon! - I'd expect that will be a lot cheaper than the...

The pipes have a habit of stripping their threads on the cooler, prompting the replacement of the cooler... I just sawed off the pipe past each compression joint and replaced the rubber bit with 5/8" oil line secured with jubilee clips. Worked perfectly for the rest of my ownership (a few months) :)

Trust me, you'll really miss driving her! You may not miss owning her though :P

Seems to work... comms error but that's to be expected :P

There we go see there is really no excuse for springs! :P I was just wondering about the risk of bursting a bag on something sharp in arduous conditions?

I wouldn't say that around here... it's not popular :P There are documented cases of people doing it and it working, but you really do want to try and keep the EAS working (which, provided it isn't ALL broken is usually cheaper to do than respring it). Personally I think if you spring it just...

Are they mechanically easier than Discos?

Why are they SO much more expensive than Disco 1's of similar condition?

I like this reasoning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmeeF9ZtkCA#t=119

Merc were consistently bottom of the Top Gear survey, during the years it was on, for customer satisfaction, so good to see they've improved in the last 8 years :rolleyes:

Nope he's just a petrol enthusiast :P The BMW engine has a strange torque curve - there's not much drive until 2.5k rpm. Also the throttle pedal has a very long travel so it can feel more sluggish than it actually is. So it may be that you're thinking it's slower than it is (a chipped diesel...

Not sure if this has been on here before, but I found it very interesting to see where water can penetrate! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpY6mdP2aRE

Because having had a P38 where the fitting of a bigger non original batter is a better idea I thought I'd check :) And because it's dark and I'm away from home :P

this is a good start :P Battery megastore suggests about 10 for the 2004 model - I'll go with the 10/10 one unless there's any specific tips :)

Sorry to do a thread resurrection but my dad needs a new battery for his 2.0 diesel x type - I wondered if anyone knew the one to go for? Cheers :)

Is the manual strong enough to survive chipping and booting?
