Some previous owner idiot did that to the Astra estate I used to have - I was just as puzzled as to why. In the end I gave up and cut it off at the reservoir so it just drained into the engine bay if I caught the switch inadvertently. Wouldn't do that to my Rangey though; I'd be sorting it out...

Oh, forgot one thing: the gear lever applique is held at the front with two spring clips so you have to angle it by lifting the rear part up and gently easing them off. :)

This is detailed in RAVE under Section 76 'Chasis and Body/Repair/Centre console but if you don't have RAVE here's what to do: Put the seats fully rearward. Open the cubby box and remove the two screws under the forward lip (beware that you don't lose the screw retainers). This will release the...

My old girl leaks a bit and always marks her territory. I'm pretty sure its the rear main oil seal that is worn, dripping oil from the bottom of the gearbox bell housing. It's on my list of things to be done but obviously its got to go in for the gearbox to be removed to do it. Question is, is...

Couldn't have put it better meself :)

You don't see many properly sorted off road P38's but this one looks like it would do the job: LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER 95 P38 4.6 V8 AUTO BLACK OFFROAD | eBay UK

Mine pulls fine on hills, even fully laden, but to get the best out of her I switch into sport mode and drop her into third, or even second if it is steep. If I don't do this, she's always trying to change up and the power fades away until she realises what's happening and drops down a gear...

Nah! Harrison Ford in one of them and Forrest Gump in the other :doh: gave it away!

I'm going to give you some advice but then you probably know this already as you are clearly an intelligent guy having bought the engineering masterpiece known as the Range Rover P38. "Sit down and seriously think for moment why on earth you would want to do that?" Once you've done it there's no...

Oh! that's a good idea, I never thought of that. :doh: I was kinda hoping to get one that actually fits the P38 rather than rig something off a Toyota - there's only one scrap yard that I know of that deals with Range Rovers in the whole of Malaysia - most P38's that were imported are still...

That's the problem... it's Atlantic British in the US. But I'm sure that all coil spring conversions have a narrower profile bump stop so I suppose any would do. All I need is one from a scrapper - there must be someone scrapping a coil spring P38 somewhere. I am looking myself through...

Awww you guys; that's so cute :rolleyes: Seriously though, the air suspension has to wait; I still need to restore 4WD with a new VCU and get a new fascia coz the old one's warped - then I'll attend to the air suspension. Meanwhile, has anyone got a bump stop I can have?

I did; that was the "we only ship by FedEx" bit.

Thanks Wammers - There's always one; and you're both of 'em :D

I only want one bump stop - a small piece of rubber that'll fit in an envelope and get popped in the post - one small bit of rubber but because I have to go to the makers of the coil spring kit I'm running they want $18.95 plus a whopping $75 to ship it ("sorry we only use FedEx"). It's...

So the next step is... is anyone breaking a P38 with springs and can provide me with the flatter style bump stop? I worked out that my conversion was from Atlantic British and they want silly money to send me one.

@dougdotcom - mind you, I looked at the photo of your P38 Doug and she is a beautiful car!

Beautiful condition - very rare to see one so well preserved, most surviving two doors you see these days are caked in mud! I'd love another but they are as rare as rocking horse poo where I am!

Yeah, mine does that. But then, my missus can be a bit awkward sometimes too, so I just smile, do what she wants to keep the peace and move on. It's attention seeking behaviour that's all; psychologists will probably have a name for it.

I had a similar problem with my low range and the sport light, both were traced to faulty connections at the ECU. The sport light (and lack of cruise control) was traced to the multiplug to the cruise control ECU being loose. With the low range I attacked it armed with a copy of the relevant...
