Hello, I'm finishing off most of the things I wanted to do with my P38 before it is donated to my brother, but I need to connect it to a nano com (or similar) to re-calibrate the blend motors and to calm the EAS down. Is there anyone who would mind if i popped over for an hour or so to use...

Hi, I know everyone has their favourite diagnostics machine. i've been using the one up at my local independent garage, and paying £10 each time. I was wondering if anyone has one they would be willing to lend for a few days in exchange for beer or a bit of cash? this way I can play for a...

Hello, I'm buying parts for the P38 again (this time a rear exhaust). when it says (up to VA346794) what does this refer to? I guess its the serial number of the vehicle? does it refer to chassis number too, or is it a separate entity? if so, how do I find it? Thankyou Muchly!

The simple answer is "because its an old range rover"... anyway, I have a wonky P38. I reconnected the EAS and cleared all the faults after the previous owner attached a 'manual inflation kit' (eBay special). now EAS says its working fine, but the left side (front and rear) is reacting much...

Hi, I've just bought my first P38 after selling my 110. just introducing myself as even on the drive home i've found faults! :roll eyes: I've already started reading about the water in my footwell and vacuum pipes full of oil, and thats ignoring the wheel arch rust. At least its going to keep...

Hi Chaps, As usual, I've broken my Defender TD5 and I need help to identify the fault please! I took it swimming a few months back, and submerged the front end, including ECU! after the ECU was returned, I replaced the starter motor which had seized. My problem though, is that the...

Hi all, I've got a td5 defender (1999). I buggered the ECU and I'm trying to find a new one, however it seems that the one that's in there at the moment (msb101170) is as rare as hens teeth. Surely if the td5 engine is the same in both discos and defenders, I could use other ECUs, such as the...

Hello, My NA 90 is spurting blueish smoke, and has a horrendus oil leak through the wading plug hole in the timing case. Is there anyone that might be able to let me know what could be wrong with it? i've had piston rings bounded around a bit, but want to dis-count anything else...the other...

Hi, My TD5 110 was towing today, when the top pulley on the belt seemed to give way, and ruined my evening, when the belt got shredded across the engine bay. I wouldn't mind, but this is the second time its happened, and the same pulley failed, even with the trailer (I got more miles out of...

Hi everyone, I've just acquired an Ex MOD 109, which i'm exploring and getting back onto the road, however i have a few questions for anyone who can help please? Buttons an lights are confusing me... What does cold start light indicate? it stays on whether i'm using the choke or not...

Hello, question on the alternator removal... I've been following instructions up to the 'remove the drivebelt tensioner' however i've found a bolt that i don't have a socket to fit! It's kind of flower shaped; maybe 15mm across, does anyone know if its a specific tool that i need, or am i...

Hello, my battery light has come on again on my TD5 110...it appears also that my horn has stopped working too...i've check things like the belt to the alternator, and all the fuses in the main fuse box and under the drivers seat. i'm now just confused as to what i've done to it! Any...

Just seeing if a previous owner of this TD5 is on the forums?! :) Woody

Hi, I replaced the fuel filter assembly the other day on my TD5, (element and the part which bolts to the chassis with pipes going into them.) managed to accidently empty most of the pipes, but connected up the new assembly anyway. long story short, it now doesn't want to start. i've tried...

Morning, I thought i should introduce myself, I'm chris. I've got a '94 200TDI SW, which is in need of TLC, wondering if anyone can recommend a club in the winchester/southampton area. Thanks! C:)

Thought it was about time i started looking at taking my 200tdi 110CSW to more interesting places, and it raised a few questions about wading. obviously there's the axle and transmission breather pipes and raised air intake. the real question is, how do i waterproof things like the battery box...
