SOLVED! After much investigation by Landrover and a great new piece of kit they plugged in, the fault was recreated and it turned out to be the cooling pump to the supercharger. Apparently there was high resistance showing across the wiring which caused the problem of "reduced engine...

Hi All, After my P38 failed due to engine issue, I boldly stepped up to the mark of a Range Rover 4.2S (55 plate supercharged model) which is absolutley wonderful to drive. However! On a lengthy drive yesterday, mainly motorway I had three "reduced engine performance" warnings, where power...

Thanks all. Verdict just in, piston 2 compression has gone. £1500 to repair on a car worth probably around the same. Plus still have heater matrix to replace (dash out - ouch!) and rear diff to sort too! Methinks time to retire my dear trusty car to the big heaven of long departed Range Rovers

Thanks Datatek, At least your input is far more use than the preaching "dead" and I refer to the picture of the guy with two muppets!:D

Hi all, We have just got back home from a nice day out with the family (travel time around 50 miles or so) in our usually very trusty 4.6HSE (162K miles) and on the final junction before arriving home I noticed a "chugging" noise coming from the engine. Best described and a mix I suppose of...

Thanks to all, much appreciated for technical feedback. Btw - Jennifer Aniston is a top bird! :)

Hi All, I was driving my P38 Range Rover this morning and on exiting the vehicle I noticed the gap between the top of the tyre/rear offside wheel arch was higher than normal. Having adjusted the suspension up/down a few times this still seems to be the case which is a little weird as it...

Great I'm not going mad then, thanks for all replies. Will have to park under a tree or something - doesn't help that car is dark graphite grey either, nice sun soaker! Cheers.

Hi All, In past two days and maybe could be down to hot weather, my P38 petrol Range Rover (4.6HSE) seems to be failing to start on the odd occasion which it never ever has done until now. It occurred yesterday afternoon when getting back into car after having left warm for about an hour...

Hi All, One sunny weekend and a lingering problem of failing aircon finally gave out after 3 yrs of getting worse and worse. I know what the problem is, a new condenser and dryer needed but have been quoted a massive price by my very reputable and helpful local garage (they do all other work...

I too have a P38 4.6HSE and recommend the following: Re the brakes, suggest you get to an independent specialist who has all the equipment fast. Safety obviously the key issue and sounds like everything needs a thorough checking out. On the gearbox side, the throttle sensor to me sounds...

Hi, Have had my P38 4.6HSE for 3 years now and the car is absolutely fantastic offroad. Best thing with it is ground clearance and power of the V8/torque to really get you out of the mud etc. Plus cabin much more luxurious than a disco 1 and prices are low if buying in the summer! Just make...

Hi All, Have limped along for past three years (to save money!) with below average airconditioning on my 1995 Range Rover P38 4.6HSE and now we are approaching summer 2010 think it's time to really get it sorted! Even when on "Low" setting the aircon effect can only best be desribed as...

Haven't named dealer, just concerned over work carried out. Free country!:blabla:

Why delete this post? Any more advice?

Hi All, I recently purchased a recon transfer box for my P38 Range Rover saving a small fortune plus doing a deal to get a refund if I sent the old one back. Patting myself on the back for some ingenuity I then went to my local Landrover dealer and asked them to fit/carry out the work. At this...
