    p38 for sale

    According to his posts he has a '99 DT which suffers battery drain, the remote keys don't work and the BeCM is out of sync with the engine ECU........... He hasn't mentioned if he fixed any of the faults, seems he's given up and wants to get rid! See, do your homework BEFORE buying a P38! Fun...

    Advice on correct bolts for fitting genuine Land Rover side steps

    Standard M8 rivnuts won't fit the holes properly in the chassis, the holes are too big. Plus there isn't room to fit them with a rivnut tool. I attempted to fit some using a 10 inch flat piece of steel with a hole and a nut and bolt, as per the proper LR side step fitting instructions. The...

    Trip computer control - BeCM

    Or your trip control switch isn't making contact? So the BeCM isn't receiving an input as the switch is duff? Try removing the left control stalk and pinning the switch and wires with a multimeter? Else try a breakers for a replacement?

    P38 brake booster pump replacement

    All valid points, yes, I didn't think of it that way. As my pump hadn't electronically failed, the seal between the motor and pump head appears to have failed. It was still working fine, although the accumulator was low and the pump would run on every brake application too. I've elected not to...

    p38 bull bar

    According to Rave, the left and right hoops are available seperately, so you could convert a nudge bar into a wrap around bull bar, part nos STC8871 and STC8872, no price though.

    There is only one part number STC2783, so the answer to your question is yes.

    p38 bull bar

    Not available on their own, they were only supplied with the A bar and not with the bull bar. The only part still available is the fitting kit, at £150 +VAT :eek: But don't expect the LR dealer to have the part number as it's not in Rave so he won't find it. I have it somewhere if you need it. I...

    Ride Characteristics?

    To adjust the steering box: Jack front end of car up so both front wheels are off the ground. Center the steering wheel in the straight ahead position. Loosen the nut with the hex screw in the middle on the top of the steering box. Gently tighten the center hex screw until it just starts to...

    P38 Window mechanism

    To reset the "Window not set" message on the dash, simply fully open then fully close the window in one smooth operation, while holding the button for 2 or 3 seconds once open and also once closed. The message "Window set" will appear when done correctly.

    Should i worry ?

    As said, it's probably the brake booster pump running. You can check easily, open bonnet, turn ignition on (no need to start engine). Infront of the coolant expansion bottle on the inner right wing is a motor with a bulbous black sphere on top (the accumulator). Push the brake pedal a couple...

    Replacing leather handbrake gaiter.

    The leather gaiters don't come with the plastic rectangle retainer that holds it in place on the window switch panel though. Remove your old gaitor and remove the staples holding it to the retainer. Stretch the new leather gaitor around the retainer in the same fashion it was previously...

    car not going to sleep properly

    Could this be the front interior light center button has got stuck in or shorted? Isn't this how you turn all the interior lights on/off by holding the button in until the dash says "Interior lights on/off"?

    P38 brake booster pump replacement

    I replaced the brake booster pump today with a second hand one from ebay. I was trying to avoid having to bleed the brake system as there's only me here at the moment and it's a bit hard to do on your tod! So, I thought I'd try to keep fluid loss to a minimum and once it was changed over I...

    P38 brake booster pump replacement

    The brake booster pump on my 99 4.6 HSE is covered in brake fluid, I'm guessing there's a leak somewhere! It doesn't look to be either of the pipe unions, so wondering if there's seals etc that have failed? I know it's non-repairable, so a second hand replacement will probably be required as new...

    Freelander TD4 Lack Of Power

    Ian, You'll need a diagnostic system to interigate the ECU to look at any fault codes first, and if non then to look at live data from the various sensors. I'm a bit puzzled in you having fitted pumps, injectors and sensors blindly, unless you were following my problem in that the diagnostic...

    plastic under the front lights

    My grill and light trims were very faded and grey looking, so removed the grill and the headlamps to get the trims off. No problem, you do need to remove the headlamp wiper arms too. Once off (2 M6 screws and 2 M6 nuts) the trim is secured with 2 self tapping screws. I masked the colour parts...

    TD4 MAF sensor

    It screws in to the top left of the manifold as far as I can remember, easy to remove. The thread is hollow to allow presure in, I simply stuck a cotton bud in it! I don't think they're especially expensive either, £25 seems to stick in my memory, but I could be wrong. I also replaced the EGR...

    TD4 MAF sensor

    The symptons were a severe lack of power, could hardly acheive 30 MPH, with no engine malfunction light and no error codes in the ECU. Turned out to be the inlet manifold presure sensor. It was clogged with a thick tar like substance which had coated most of the inside of the inlet manifold. I...

    Chipping my TD4

    Before I start to explain what to do, can you confirm you are happy working on your engine electrical system, can comfortably understand the importance of safe working practices, that you know how to safely use hand tools around the engine and are comfortable drilling a hole in the air filter...
