    When was P38 facelift / differences between diesels

    I'm not aware of any difference between them. There may have been some difference in the very early years (1994,1995) but the original brochure from 1997 certainly does not make any distinction between the power of DT and DSE and only lists one set of power outputs for the diesel engine - 136 PS...

    When was P38 facelift / differences between diesels

    Its a bit difficult. The official change over was 1999 but I have a 1999 reg (T) 98MY with the EGR. Mine was one of the DHSE specced DSE' s (DHSE only came in with the facelift) LR trialed for a while before the changeover. The clear lenses should be a giveaway but loads of people retro fitted...

    range rover battery

    I know Halfrauds come in for a lot of stick on here but I've been reasonably lucky with them. I had my 3 year old HB334 pack up over the new year. I didn't have a receipt to check if I was in or out of warranty but it was a bank holiday weekend with fook all else open so I bought another HB334...

    Free hawkeye codes?

    Fair Play to you:cool: I suppose thats where consumer economics comes into it. At £50 per extra vehicle type you'll sell one Hawkeye to a group of people. By making the differential between owning your own and being able to borrow someone elses at only £100 (300-200) you would expect more...

    Load space dimensions of a P38?

    Here is an extract from the brochure, it'll explain better than I can with words. as you can see to get a totally flat loadspace you must fold forward the the backrest and then roll forward the seat base to stand upright behind the front seat. This gives you the load length of 1,365mm at minimum...

    Free hawkeye codes?

    I'm glad to see that you are getting a hard time for this, maybe LZ has turned a corner:cool::cool: How anyone can come on a Range Rover support forum and moan about about somebody making a few quid from their brainchild is beyond me:(:( It was a Capitalist system that put that corpulent...

    Load space dimensions of a P38?

    Come to think of it, I actually did bring a king size bed (in bits) and mattress (yeah, this wasn't in bits:)) home from a furniture shop 2 years ago so theres's an indication of size. I'm pretty sure I was pressed up on top of the steering wheel with both seats as far forward as they would go...

    Load space dimensions of a P38?

    The brochure says; Seat up: width = 1068mm length = 820mm Seat rolled forward: width = 1068mm Length = 1365mm The seat rolled forward figure is deceptive as if you only knock the seat backs forward instead of fully rolling them you have the full length from the tailgate to front seat...

    P38: LPG vs Diesel

    No, its actually one of the nicest diesels you will ever encounter. The M51 engine is probably the pinnacle of indirect diesel engine design. Its actually a lot less clattery than all the modern direct injection engines. Its worst characteristic is lack of low down torque but once chipped its...

    P38: LPG vs Diesel

    I had a 200tdi RRC which I absolutely loved but the P38 DSE is a far, far better motor for real world living, particularly if you need the space. As regards being slow, I have a chipped P38 DSE and a 3.9RRC with a piper cam outside the door right now. While there is no point trying to say...

    Hidden winch bumper

    No, I made that one myself from scrap iron. The winch is a cheap and nasty item from China. It has a 4000lb capacity when used with a single pulley which is only just barely adequate. If you plan any serious off roading 8,000lb is the minimum required for a rangie. Having said that, its done all...

    Feeling smug..........

    I suppose it comes down to the differerences between what we now do, what we can do, what we could do and what we should do. I'm a bit bit biased as I work in the renewable energy sector but I hope I'm not blind to reality. I read a point recently that almost encapsulates the entire argument. It...

    Feeling smug..........

    Thats a fair point but the percentage of cars getting beyond 10 years old is on the decline. They will be driven out of the market place by policy and tighter controls, particularly emmisions etc. Again a good point but the same is true for most cars. How much is a short engine or a gearbox...

    Feeling smug..........

    Just about any sub 2.5L diesel post 2000 will be better than the Prius on the open road. The latest diesels much better. The pre 2010 models are actually quite mediocre on the motorway. At 75mph it'll only do about 45mpg and is reallly not that nice at that speed, the engine just sounds...

    How mcuh is my range rover worth...?

    She asked how much it was worth, not what I'd pay for it:D:D:D But a diesel will get that handy over here, even a cooked one. Sump, diesel pump, gearbox, diffs and driveshafts. There's way more than a €1,000 straight away.
