    P38A Injector not sealed properly?

    I've been having some bother with leak off pipes (separate post). Now sorted I hope, replaced with decent Gates pipe. However, the last time one went the well around no.1 injector filled with fuel. I replaced the pipe and mopped up the spillage. Fired it up to see all was well and noticed...

    P38A Wash wipe - here's a strange one!

    Here's a strange one. I've search Rave and can't find even a clue! When I turn the key to position 1 the wash wipe comes on. The cycle can be cancelled by moving the stalk but then wash wipe(s) won't come on when I press the button(s). Can't find anything with Nanocom either...🤔

    P38A Spill off pipes.

    'Morning all, spill off pipes leaking again! Thought I had them sorted and then another one goes. Question is - might there be a pressure build up? should I be able to blow through the return pipe to the tank? (ie is it just an open pipe?) And why does it go to the banjo on the FIP first...

    P38A Glowplug timer/ temp sensor

    'Morning, The previous 2.5 I had, glows would not come on once the engine was warmed up. This one, they come on every time regardless of engine temp, and when I got it I was told 'always wait 'till the glow plug light goes off before starting' Has the timing of glows been messed with? Is this a...

    P38A Voltage drop?

    'morning all, excuse long post - trying to give all the info. I have a second battery and split charger fitted. When the second battery was charging the voltmeter (on the second battery) used to show 14.75 v and when the main battery was charging a meter showed 14.75 too. All good. Then I...

    P38A No power after replacing FIP seals

    I am now too old and shaky to do the FIP seals myself so took it to a bloke nearby who did them today using Biketeacherdave's excellent guide. Phone call this evening him saying that it starts fine, revs okay, tickover good but put it in drive and there is no power and it dies. He's tested the...

    P38A Just can't do it anymore...

    :( Sad to say I now have to own up and admit that I just can't do most of the work needed to properly repair/maintain the car anymore. Well I can, but then suffer consequences for too long afterwards. So I'm having to give up my lovely old Rover. (See for sale forum) :) Good news is that I've...

    P38A Range Rover Want a project?

    NOW SOLD to someone who is going to restore it!:) I've loved this car! I'm the second owner, had it for eight years and it has always been a reliable daily drive. No electronic problems ever and never let me down. I would do the work needed if I could but I'm just getting to the age that I...

    P38A Radiator

    There have been questions here recently about where / what type of replacement radiator to get. I have no affiliation to either of these firms but can highly recommend getting a Nissens radiator from Arksglobal. The one for my 2.5 DT (part no. 64309) was £108, and delivered in a couple of days.

    P38A Oh what have I done...

    Morning all, 2.5 DT was running well but irritating leak from FIP so thought I'd have a look. Realized that there was nothing much I could do, so put the manifold etc back on. Then it wouldn't start. Tested fuel solenoid - ok. Eventually got it going with a blast of easy start into the manifold...

    P38A Heater matrix connections

Pleased (surprised too) to see that emissions are really low - .2 , limit 2.8. :) Confirms my view that it is a 'green' car. 20 years old and clean(ish) A couple of advisories including a leaking steering box which was an exchange one put on...

    P38A RAVE again...

    'Morning All, Same old question I'm afraid. Can someone give me a working link to RAVE download please? Mine has spontaneously stopped working. Whenever I try to open it Acrobat says it can't, file is corrupted. I've tried all the links in the Techie section to no avail. Thanks

    P38A Water Pump

    Checked rad, thermostat, and then this. Think this might be the cause of the overheating...:rolleyes: What worries me is that I can't find the missing bit of plastic.:eek: Is this going to get wedged in the cooling system somewhere and cause problems? Or perhaps the plastic is breaking up so...

    P38A Beep beep beep

    Morning all, Curious (spurious?) beeps. Recently, just now and again when driving along, I get the 'beep beep beep' as though a door is open. No message shows and I can't see or feel anything wrong. Am I right in thinking that there are two different sounders? The deeper, more threatening one...

    P38A Chassis rust

    I mentioned this before but it got a bit lost. Thought I'd better start another fred. Got the MOT, but also got an advisory of 'extensive corrosion to the rear of the chassis'. He's a good guy who I take the rover to when I have to and he reckons it can be welded using plates (obvs cut to shape)...

    P38A VC test

    'Morning all, Having on going probs after replacing a front propshaft uj. As ever, being full of doubt:confused:, thought perhaps I should test the VC. I've jacked up one front wheel, put it in neutral and tried to turn the raised wheel by means of bar and socket on wheel nut. It does turns but...

    P38A Cold start / hot start

    'Morning All, 2001 DT. (When glow plugs are all working!) it starts 'on the button' from cold, but once its warmed up it always takes a bit more turning over before it fires up. Maybe twice as much as when cold. I've got a good strong battery and it is reliable and it always starts, so its not...

    P38A Its getting a bit stiff...

    The auto shift that is.;) Seems to ease a little when everything is warmed up a bit. From D back through 3,2,1 is the worst. Going across into Low range is fine but the forward and backward movement is definitely stiffening up in either range. I've checked everything beneath the cover in the...

    Disco 2 Early Christmas lights?

    'Evening all, I'm usually over on the RR forum, but would appreciate some help from knowledgeable Disco peeps please. We had a 1998 TD5 until the chassis started to look like lace curtains and it failed its MOT. Passed it on to a farmer friend who has been using it (hard!) for a few years now...
