Hi guys, don't know if this has been suggested or posted up before but it's so easy to do, it seemed a shame not to share. The tailgate release button is notorious for failing usually at the most inopportune times and invariably when the top half is shut. I tackled my failed button today and...

Hi guys. Just bought a Nanocom Evo to try and help with the lockout problems i've been having. Lockout originally caused by battery discharge. Cause found and fixed I think (RF receiver disconnected) I have the following issues so perhaps some kind soul(s) can answer my queries? 1/ Now my EKA...

Bit of an odd one. Need to replace a couple of bulbs in the instrument cluster. Removed the shroud - No problem. Wiring etc. Loosened the retaining screws, 2 top and 2 bottom. Cluster now moves freely, pivoting around its horizontal axis but won't move up or down and no sideways movement. Will...

When I bought my rangie it had a set of very wide 20" drug dealers... sorry, wheels on it with 295/45. The ride and handling, frankly was shocking. Tram lining was very noticeable, ride was harsh and the handling scary bad. I put this down the the wheels and promptly changed them for some 18"...

I believe I may be the luckiest P38a owner around these parts. Not only does the mysterious noise from the front axle/hub completely disappear! but the passenger side blend motor has mysteriously started to work again. The book sign has removed itself from the HEVAC display and the air-con is...

Now then fellow range Roverists. Having enjoyed a good couple of trouble free months ye olde Rangey has thrown a curved ball into the mix. There is a distinct, almost non metallic sounding noise coming from the front right wheel area. I appreciate that trying to diagnose a noise over the WWW is...

Changed the wheels over this morning. Gone are the 'pimp my ride' 20's and in their place a set of 18" rims from our old D3. Fortunately the Redbournes were a D3/L322 fitment so had the correct nuts and spigot rings. The D3 fill the arches quite well. I think I like the look. Definitely didn't...

Finally picked up my new toy yesterday. 240 mile trip home revealed a few minor things to sort out and a couple of big uns! I'll start seperate threads for them as I progress. In the meantime I was having a poke around engine compartment this morning and found this bad boy. I'm guessing it's...

Back again with another P38. After a brief spell with a very pretty but EAS problem plagued DSE I slunk off to the Disco 3 world! What a a mistake that was. Cost a fortune to MOT. So having had a serious rethink I've gone for the most sensible and cost effective alternative ............ A...

The P38 has gone. 3 breakdowns in as many months is taking the mick. First one was a total loss of electrical power. Easily sorted but inconvenient as it was at night in the middle of nowhere. I mean, it could've done it on the driveway in broad daylight! Second one was when the fuel line...

At the moment this is pretty much a hypothetical problem solving question. It may well have been broached before. As it stands my bog standard 2.5DSE is adequate. For how much longer? I don't know. I have a low boredom threshold and spring is approaching.:) IF and it's a reasonably large IF (At...

As title guys. 1/ What should a 2.5DSE be ticking over at when warm? According to the Tacho it's about 800 RPM However my ears reckon it's closer to 1000 RPM. Any easy way of checking tacho accuracy? Or is it just that 6pots sound busy? 2/ What engine speed should the autobox lock up at...

I say fellows. Does any really clever boffin type chaps on here know the part number of the pulley shown below? It's a P38 2.5DSE. Got all the other bibbly bob bits to do the belts but this little blighter seems to be rather evasive. .... :D

Hi guys. First real problem with the P38 reared its ugly head this morning. just left work to go home, 4-5 minutes up the road and i lost my power steering and alternator warning light came on. Obvious thought was serpentine belt had snapped. Drove car 200 yards further up the road and tried...

Hi all. Just joined up after a thorough search trying to find the best LR forum. This one seems to tick all the boxes. I've had a goodly variety of Landies over the years and am now currently trying to coax another 30 odd years out of a somewhat tired looking but mechanically healthy '75 Series...
