Always wanted one, now I've got one. It's one I know some of it's history..and I should have done it years ago. Titch

Not uncommon I hear....... Few weeks ago simply wouldn't fire, turned over fine but wouldn't start. Flicked the fuel pump relay after an hour, then fine.... Two weeks later same again, but will not have it...at all.My other half was getting diesel at the time, fortunately right by an...

Yes,at rest. Your lights/horn/indicators will all work as normal, but something somewhere 'senses' this voltage drop & refuses to allow it to start. Another, crazy crazy crazy modern idea. but if you charge your battery up all is OK & the alternator is showing it at 14v, then I would genuinely...

If your battery is below 12.1 volts, or something like that, it will not start!!! There's another 'sensor' that prevents it, you could try tow starting/bumping if manual box, but it will not start, ever! If your battery won't hold it's charge above 12 volts, get a new battery! That's the...

Have I just read properly, what I thought I read a few posts higher up?? mmmm..so, any news on a club for Freelander Owners...?

Hi All, I'll look at these pipes mentioned, thanks. It seems though, once carhas been running a while, it does start OK, but this morning took some doing. Maybe, just maybe the cold has altered things, but a frost tonight will confirm if the problem is still here at 6.00am. Thanks again for...

mmmm, yes thanks, I can & will check it tomorrow, a new fuel filter will make me investigate. I wonder is there a relay that may be chucking things out and would it find it if hooked up to the computer?? Thanks again, Duke of Offley

Ok, so surely there is a thread to this, but, thicko like me cannot find it! P38 BMW Diesel, just started to want to wind over for ages before it starts, let the dash lights go out turn the key, but no, never instantly now. Is it likely to be heater plugs?? I suppose it's had some work to do...

Well some of that helps.............

Has this been looked at before? A list of available & willing members for anyone who's got a problem?? I'd obviously appreciate some help from time to time and prepared to reward anyone that helps!! If I can help with anything, I will....even a tow if needed, or even just a brew!! Titch...

You can use my 2.5 DSE for diesel experiences advice. Bring your tent, we're out in the sticks, With a Canalside pub over the field!! I'll buy 'em!

I've thought of that thanks! Bu tif I'd not got rid of the air suspension I'd use the compressor for Chrome Air Horns! No one local to Stafford if ever I'm stuck??

150 Squids eh? There was a time, when every vehicle had simply a horn on the centre of the steering wheel... There was very little bother then...?? Where are we going I ask.. On our way to deeply lining the shareholders of enormous motor manufacturers I guess!

Thanks Hammy for replying, kinda stuck & nervous here... The key code then, that's the 4 left, 3 right, 3 left..... or whatever etc? Shall I wait for the airbag to 'de activate' etc. I guess my problem must be to do with a rotary connection, why I don't know as that end wasn't touched doing the...

Hi Folks (again sorry) Maybe, maybe...?? removing the steering wheel will get at my faulty rotary connector, horn etc. Is this an easy/safe job with that airbag in the middle?? I must be honest, I'm concerned about the electrics problems on the P38's, mainly resetting things, No knowledge, No...

Hi all, I think after changing the steering box, and found non functioning electrics on the steering wheel, i.e. Horn & Cruise Control, that the 'Rotary Connecter' (coupler?) has gone wrong. Has anyone any experience of fixing this? I have the Rave disc, but find no way of explaining how to...

Thanks Irish, well I changed the steering box in the end, bigger job than expected, but as on another post here, I have no electrics to the steering wheel?? The Duke

Thanks, that makes sense a bit, I used to run 'Cherry Picker' that all electrics worked through 360 degrees, same thing I reckon?? Does, 'Rave' have a help section then? I THINK, somewhere I have the disc? Thanks for writing, Duke of Offley

Hi Folks!, well, changed the steering box today, P38 DSE, no ignition turned on during the job (Wot a Job too) but.... Airbag Fault and no horn or cruise control??? All I think related to electrics under (?) or by the steering wheel, but it wasn't taken off?? Any ideas or fixes, obviously horn...

Thanks Hammy, I've put a new set of tyres all round on it, pressures are OK.. I can 'feel' it on the steering wheel somehow, it's a bit of play that you have to counteract, moreso on motorway driving it wanders. You get used to it somehow, but it ain't right so I've purchased a re con unit...
