Go onto ebay and enter eas software and lead, you can get a cd + the lead for cheap money. install the software and then check out the system. Also look for a RAVE cd which is all l/rover manuals and you can find the wiring diagram. It's worth doing as the cd pay for themselves the first time...

Have you tried a tap or thump ? Technical adjustment as per SAS vehicle handbook.

First of all where are you ? Misfires can be caused by loads of causes. Wasted spark coils MUST have both plugs earthed to the engine, otherwise the spark can back feed into the ecu. I use a new plug and a medium croc clip and a jubilee clip. Screw the jubilee clip around the plug and the...

Well I have a P38 and wave other RRR members. I have stopped for Series broken down and given assistance. I see the P38 owners as the survivors club and the future holds more fun than other marks. I intend to keep it going and wave at other P38s, more and more they are being bought by the...

Simon, Golden rule is, if its supposed to turn freely then strip down or get advice. It could be the brush gear or something like a washer has got into the rotor on the alternator and hence screwed it.

Diesel version could be a item in the vacuum pump.

I'm back ,Wife brought me food, So the bleeper is a large speaker behind the dash and instead of removing all the dash, you can get to the wire (Speaker wire red and black with white plug on instrument's rear) by removing the lower under tray( four screws). It would be a wise precaution to...

I have had the same fault for over a year now. It's the BECM module under the seat. I wanted to work on it in the summer, but my other motor was off the road. Now the sensor that starts this off is on the oil cooler on the nearside, it has a blue wire coming away from it to a blue plug by the...

What a shame, I'd wished I had seen this before the one I bought. Bargain and low mileage. I took mine for a top up on the air-con and found it had been played with. Ah well I might win that Euromillions tonight. That is a nice looking motor, worth travelling miles to see it.

Do some homework on a new chassis and the likely cost of replacement. Get three quotes from Landrover specialists. Include the cost of transportation (local tow garage will do this) to the specialist from the place of rest. Do not allow yourself to be conned by the tow people, if you have the...

Easy job check your bulbs in the rear. Your stop and tail bulb has been replaced for a single indicator type. The reason is the power from the side lights runs up the stop light wire through the closed brake sw to the ignition coil circuit. One of the earliest faults I have found, set me on the...

Do not worry about the misfire, sometimes a vehicle will pass the emissions test. If it's a definite heavy miss and you can put your hand nearly over the exhaust and feel it drawn back to the pipe then this will lead to a fail. With todays management systems a vaccum leak or manifold leak can...

Waste oil is good to coat the underneath of the vehicle and prevent rust. What the deal with the 2 types of filter ? They state either a plastic end or metal. I would trust the metal any ideas? 2.5 turbo dse 1998.

Hi Why did I buy this P38 diesel 2.5, drove fine the day I collected it. Got home, now overnight the indicator lights are on all the time, so I reset the alarm using the blip and just turns over. So after hours of searching the net, found the sync mate to diagnose the problem. One red flash = no...
