    P38 rease tabs for thickie please

    I presume you're talking about the 3 clips that retain the upper parcel shelf trim next to the rear loadspace window? Once you've removed the 3 plastic rivets and the single screw (I think), just pull the trim up hard and it'll come off. You may have to remove the rear pillar trim for better...

    New owner p38 4.0

    The switches are inside the door lock mechanisms. On the drivers door it is easiest to replace the entire assembly, preferably with a new one from LR as the microswitches are not available seperately and the mechanism has to be stripped to it's components to get at the switch. I believe the...

    From Rave on the 1999 onwards models: Speaker Amplifier The DSP amplifier (Z293) is located behind the LH rear luggage compartment behind the subwoofer. The DSP amplifier (Z293) now incorporates the door amplifiers which are no longer fitted separately. Hanoverian - Keep us updated on...

    Harmon Kardon P38 Drivers door speaker dead

    The 1999 Alpine/Harmon Kardon system uses a single amplifier mounted in the rear near the subwoofer. To test if it's your head unit or the amp, simply remove the Clarion head unit and plug any other make of radio head unit in that has standard ISO connectors. The rear amp is driven direct from...

    P38 starter motor

    Am I right in thinking the battery tray on the petrol and diesel are the same, so you could fit the larger diesel sized battery on a petrol? I presume the advantage of doing this would be a larger battery reserve? My last petrol P38 had a diesel sized battery, around 120AH IIRC, I never had a...

    p38 in DIAGNOSTIC MODE ??

    Hmmm, I presume the OP, Cess, means his message center is displaying "Diagnostic Mode"? I have only ever seen it display this when I have FaultMate connected and talking to the BeCM. Sounds like the BeCM has got itself in a muddle. Try a battery off reset? Ensure you have the radio and EKA...

    Wet footwell, and it's not antifreeze!

    If it's rainwater and is coming from the vent ducts below the dash, then try checking the fit of the pollen filter covers, they can allow rainwater in. I've read that they can fit so bad some people have cured it by applying sealer. Most probably though it's air conditioning condensation...

    P38 - Anti Roll Bar Help

    I can understand him fitting a recon compressor, they don't want to complicate the issue by stripping a "complicated" item on the show. A non-techie would change the lot rather than stripping and replacing the seal, and you have to admit it's not easy to change, a right pig to get it all off...

    steering wobble

    Can anyone tell me which wheel nuts are required? I have L322 wheels on mine, with spigot rings and the correct nuts, but I'd like a new non rusty set and a set of lock nuts but dunno which ones. Which year L322 nuts fit onto the P38? There seem to be a few different ones.

    P38 - Anti Roll Bar Help

    I was wondering that. Normal rubber bushes are fine for this job, and about £2 each. Maybe because it was a mod that Wheeler Dealers did to theirs, with Ed saying it was a better option? What do they know :confused:

    P38 - Anti Roll Bar Help

    I think if done on level ground the ARB isn't stressed so is easy to simply unbolt the bush mounting bracket, remove the old bush, insert new and rebolt into place, repeat for the other side. Lying underneath with the car on high suspension setting there is plenty of room for access, unless...

    Omg!

    RANGE ROVER 2.5 DSE BLACK | eBay It's a 1998 DSE with lots of bling. Was the owner nuts? Why would anyone want to buy this? No mention of TAX or MOT, there's no service history at all and the mileage is 218,000, price so far £5,800 and rising! :eek:

    L322 18" Alloys On P38

    If you prefer the look of 18" wheels then go for it. My last 2 P38's both had 18s, the first with factory fitted Hurricane alloys, and my present one has the twin 5 spoke style from the L322 with spigot rings, fitted by a main dealer as the then owner damaged the original Hurricanes and are no...

    brake pedal goes to the floor

    I didn't say it was all useless banter!! And anyway, a lot of it makes me really really laugh :)

    brake pedal goes to the floor

    Lets try with a sensible answer - you'll have to accept a lot of non useful banter on this forum! Is the brake pump presure motor running? It should run for a few seconds, maybe 20 seconds max when ignition first turned on, once system is up to presure it'll stop. If not running at all...

    Range Rover L322

    And how would the Chevy V8 interface with the Range Rover ECU systems???? Plus can you make an adaptor plate to mate it with the gearbox, engine mounts, cooling system etc? I've not heard of anyone who has changed an L322 engine to something else.

    P38 2001 DHSE computer lights out

    Or £2.95 each from Halfrauds, unless you have their Trade Card, upon which the price will be about 90p each. Be careful you specify 1.2 watt bulbs as higher wattages are available that will still fit the holders, but you could melt your instrument cluster plus the message display will be too...

    P38 repair and service manual

    Not as easy to do as you seem to think. The Cruise Control if not fitted requires an ECU, as do the electric seats, all of which has to communicate with the BECM computer below the drivers seat, which requires programming so it knows what electrical items it has to control. If you have a low...

    Changing P38 Engine ECU

    Hi Craig, It's not that easy to copy them, the EPROM is easy enough to copy, but that's why they are plugged into an encoder chip! This prevents the EPROM from being copied as they are useless without the encoder chips, Mark Adams spent a long time and a lot of money designing these maps and...
