Hi folks A bit of diagnosis from the great and knowledgable would be appreciated (again). Just home after being recovered along with my '98 P38 4.6 Auto. Driving home I heard a noise (bag of spanners being rattled) over the radio. Turned radio off, opened window and slowed down, just about at...

Ovalanderover - you got it. And unfortunately mea culpe - I drained some coolant a few weeks ago doing another job and, clearly, didn't bleed it properly. I've only been doing local driving so never warmed up enough to show. Sitting in city centre traffic exposed it. Bleed the system as per...

A quick update, drove to town today on petrol (gulp) without issue. On way home decided to put heater up to full and turn on. Within a few minutes needle started to climb. Turned down to minimum and got home with no problem. Putting everything together I think I have an airlock in the cooling...

First thanks to the guys last night for advice. Topped up and checked coolant this morning. ran engine up to temp with no signs of leaks etc. then shje started to struggle on tick over as I noticed the LPG defuser (?) had gone a nice icy white. coolant pipes leading to and from it were solid...

Really appreciated and many thanks

Parisien Addresses and a recommendation would be brilliant, just in case. I'm in Newtownards but going up to Royal daily so fighting the traffic. Not bothered about travelling a bit if they're good (last time I was away and had a breakdown I went to a indie in Kendal. Plugged in the...

Guys, thanks. Head gasket was my immediate thought but would have expected some signs or forewarning? Might be a problem because it overheated. Fan seemed ok on tick-over but will try to run engine up to some speed in morning and thermostat or water pump would fit with lack of heat...

Good evening to all you knowledgeable experts..... Had to come over to Northern Ireland and been driving my P38 v8 4.6 with LPG through town. She's not used to city centre traffic, ie stop and start with heavy traffic flow. Also had to queue for hospital car park for about 30 mins today. So...

Simon Thank you for that swift kick in the knackers just when I was feeling happier :) If it gets to that stage she might just get some modifications - maybe re-shape the grill and wings with head shaped impressions ;)

Perfect, many thanks Now let's hope the rain goes away (I'm a softie, far too cossetted in my P38) :)

Gentlemen, my profound thanks. Hippo - the picture is just what I need, but would it be too cheeky to ask same for the bonnet end? Teddywood - have you seen this done on a 04 plate? From what I've read they riveted a plastic box underneath the catch as a security measure to avoid this. I...

Hi all My wife's 2004 Freelander TD4 has a dead battery, an easy job to replace until I pulled the bonnet release. Cable snapped and most of the wire is no inside the car :mad: I've read on the forum that I can either undo the 2 x 10mm bolts through the gap in the grill or take a hammer and...

Hi all, more of a regular on the Range Rover side but hoping for some help with my wifes Freelander HSE on 04 plate. Basically the sound is crap from the stereo - very tinny and one speaker has no output at all. Tried another, aftermarket, head unit which gave no discernable difference. That...

Hi You're not alone. I'm similar in a relative new comer to the P38 and just replaced discs and pads all round - I'll be towing a lot and want to know I can stop. A few experiences if mine are anything to go by - they were f**ked :). I found a half decent set of 12 point sockets in...

All you need to remove the Sat Nav/Radio/CD is a screw driver and plenty of patience.... assuming it's no different than a 54 plate HSE. :) Remove plastic cover above head unit, take out two screws. The take off the cover for the centre consol (disconnecting all the switch connectors), but...

Wammers thanks. Have a wee bag of bits to refurb but was holding off for some reason. Seeing that question made me understand why :)

Is it that easy to replace the push buttons and battery? No need to reset/re-programme key fob or anything? Only checking as I need to do mine but only got one key and don't have EKA code (note to self find out what it is and how I get it). :confused:

Thought a quick update was in order .... and thanks. Got recovery to bring me & caravan home Sunday. Today tried a local breaker on the off chance (he gives 30 day return and has always been ok with me) and he had a P38 breaking. Unfortunately not much left but did have the abs pump etc. £85...

Again, many thanks to all especially Clarky Phoned breakdown - I have recovery - and going to take the easy route, will just need to wait around Sunday for them to turn up. Unless anyone knows a breaker with 10 miles of Kendal? Will get over to Emmotts next week and see what they have...

Guys - as always reassuring and helpful. However I'm a bit confused (probably because I have no pictures, manuals and am struggling to get much in terms of downloads sitting in the rainy lake district with little 'un and worry of a fecking big caravan to get home :) ). So please be patient...
