Paul D thanks for that I understand you point about garages but I thought for the one and only time (and the fact it has not been done in 8 plus years!) I would get them to do it. I think from now on though I will do it myself and save myself a few quid. Thanks again

Hi First step would be that as long as no other errors are cropping up, it sounds like the sensor in the ignition is acting up, it keeps detecting the key even after the key is removed. Have a look at RangeRovers.net under repair and alarm diagnosis, there is a section on False Ignition Key...

Lanmjdun thanks for the replies, first off. Only owned the car for a short while (well six months or so) and bought with non specialist service history, so no pollen filter change, or any other oil than engine oil change. Previous owner had it from 1998, and only had LR service up to 2000...

If only Just paying for a full service (first one in my possession full oils drain and replace) so replacement is going to have to be down the line. If I knew where the sensor was I could fool it into thinking the window was fully closed even if it was slightly canted. If the regulator is...

Hi How thoughly did you check the fuses, often all seems well but teh board underneath has been degraded resulting in a loose contact. For all of them to fail like that means either the BeCM is telling the windows not to work with the switch either setup (unlikely) or failure of the BeCM...

Thanks Gav got some PTFE lubricant on recommendation from this forum (sorry to whoever that was it was a long time ago!) but even with this it sticks in the channels and cannot rise past a certain point without sticking unless manual effort is supplied. It is difficult once past this point to...

Hi Download the rave cd (do a search on here) and look it up in there, rangerovers.net is usually a great source of info but I have looked and could not see it in there. I hope this helps Adam

Hi I have a different alarm problem with an intermittent alarm fault. The good news is I have traced it to the offside front window that closes on a slight slant meaning that the security system cannot confirm that all windows and doors are closed and so get alarm fault. Is there a cheap...

Hi Just booked my '96 Manual 2.5 DSE in for a service and the owner used to have his own P38 Manual Diesel and did all sorts of jobs like replacing the clutch, air bags on his. He does not have the full diagnostic kit but has access to a man who does. He also services friends of mine's...

Hi Irish Looking online it says the 25% is on software up to 20th December. Just for clarity Adam

Hi Protech near llantrisant I think were offering to clear codes for £35 probably similar for reading codes after. go over to rangerovers.net and onto maintenance to look for tests you can do for the HEVAC. Airbag fault is going to need garage I think, Protech offered me £235 I think for full...

Hi Best advice to to download the workshop manual f.o.c. (do a search on here or look for RAVE CD) give full step by step instruction in the V8 Pertol section split Pre 99MY and Post 99MY. Has diagrams too. It starts off with draining coolant. then pre 99My remove cooling fan, then onto...

Hi Looking at the workshop manual (free download or get the RAVE CD's and burn an image onto a disc, do a search on the forum) it is not that simple :) removing the rear bumper valance is as follows. Raise the vehicle Remove the rear road wheels Remove 3 screws securing each mud flap, romve...

Na, no offence Stupid me looking at teh wrong diagram on the workshop manual, go to the right one and there it is. Do I feel an idiot or what :o !?!?!??! thanks Adam

Any idea on the clutch?

Hi I don't know too much about this but saw a post a while back that attributed a lot of tramlining to makes of tyres as well. From memory the recommended tyre to come out of it was the Avon Ranger/Ranger + or whatever it is called. Just my penniworth. Adam

At the beginning bought it from someone who swore it was all working :confused: no idea what criteria they followed so how about a conspiracy theory, they bought a crap one so they could slag it off as a bad car? Bit out there I know :)

Tervueren Thanks Re-read that and realise that that is the point. I read "hot or cold" as only hot or only cold and as had both thought it did not apply to me. On to that, some garages reckon that the heater matrix will be knackered as well, how can I check it isn't? No leaking...

Hi Not an expert by any means but it looks like range rovers dot net do a good walkthrough here:- Door Lock Failure: Getting the Door Open (4.0/4.6/p38A) Cheers Adam

Hi The wonderful range rovers dot net site explains how to do it and you can use the link below to judge for yourself. P38A Instrument Panel Removal Cheers Adam
