Hi guys, bought these thinking they would fit my p38 but don't. As new condition, all brackets (x6) and bolts are present. Looking for £100 or best offer. EDIT: sold, could an admin close the thread, thanks.

Hi guys, In what is the first ( I think) help thread in the section of the year may I just say yoink! and a happy new year!! Around september ish last year I had a water leak around the top of the front A-posts resulting in a soddon front rooflining and it dripping into the footwell. Took the...

A very merry christmas to everyone. Hope santa brings you loads of (land rover related) presents. Haven't been involved as much as I'd have liked this year but looking to change that next year!

Hi guys, quick question for you. Sometimes the car will startup straight away, other times it needs a good 5-10secs of cranking. Had a look at the alternator and it reads 14-14.1 (measured from the back of it) which seems in the right ball park but measure the battery and it shows 13.5-13.6...

Hi guys, I've had a search but not really come up with a definitive answer. What is considered the normal operating temperature of the 4.6 gems? From what I've read it seems to be mid 90's ish. According to nanocom, mine is running at around 98-100 which seems a bit too high for my liking. In...

Been getting around to the little jobs that the weather, untill the last few weeks, decided I shouldn't do yet. I've been replacing the dull yellow interior lights with LED's and the difference is incredible. Done the main interior one, just waiting for the wedge led's to arrive for the map...

Hi everyone, I need your help again! Over the last month or so I noticed a very slight misfire on idle. Came back from camping after easter (400 mile round trip) and didn't miss a beat, until I stopped outside a newsagents while the Mrs popped in. The rangie (running on lpg) cut out, as if out...

Morning guys, me again :D About a month ago I found rain water drops on the front floor mats, both sides. Where the headlining meets the A-pillar trim was soaking wet so thought it was the sunroof drains blocked. Got the headlining off (very saggy and going to be re-trimmed next week anyway and...

Afternoon guys. Over the last few days the car has started to make a horrible noise from the front. It goes away when accelerating but as soon as you lift off or slow down it comes back. Sometimes it's a loud piercing screech other times its soundso like a fan belt slipping. Had a look at the...

Hi guys, after changing the water pump and header tank, the small pipe that connects underneath the expansion tank at the front, think it's the plenum bleed pipe, has decided to let go. Any ideas where I can find a replacement? My google-fu is letting me down on this one! Thanks Edit: forgot to...

Hi guys, Managed to nab a full set (inc brackets) off ebay at a competitive price :) BUT the brackets are giving me a real headache. The bolts have completely seized into the nuts, soaked them in vinegar, penetrating oil and cut a flat head sized grove with a dremel but they will not shift...

Trying to change the air con condenser and 3 of the 4 bolts came off no problem, looks like someone attempted it and rounded off the last one (bottom right), moved the radiator to try and get at it from the back and no luck. Can anyone give me a hand? Thanks Mick

Hi guys, I've got a new set of spot lamps to go on the nudge bar and was wondering what color the main beam wire are. Been looking for hours and give up!! Thanks, mick

Hi guys, Took the rangie in for the wheels to be balanced last week and while it was up on the ramps I had a look at the airbags. Very bad. Massive amount of cracking and I'd even go so far as saying that they were originals. So, ordered a new set from Island 4x4 which came on Friday morning...

Hi guys, some of you may remember the green disaster I had, well, after what seemed like replacing every part on the car, the head gasket went (possibly a cracked head too). The previous owner did a very good job at not looking after it and I did what I could but ultimately called it a day when...

Evening guys and gals, Some of you may remember my transfer box decided to take early retirement last month and after a bit a patience and ferreting around, I've got a replacement. Now for the questions :D The one I've bought was from a 2002 4.0 and after some reading up I think it should be a...

Afternoon everyone, I'm in need of your help and general wisdom. Went to pick up the rangie from my mums earlier so I could change the diff fluid and replace serpentine and aircon belts and tensioners over this weekend. Put it into reverse and got around 3-4ft and it stopped, almost like...

Hi guys, Had the pleasurable experience of changing the heater matrix o-rings today and I have to say what a pita! The only time in my life I wished I was a 9year old gymnastic contortionist! So, got the old rings out and they were brittle, cracked and well overdue replacement. Now comes the...

Decided to do the cv boot today as everything finally turned up, then I realised I don't have the first clue in what to do. Would someone in the west mids area be willing to show me (I'll do the graft) how it's done? Don't want to break something and cause more work. thanks mick EDIT: I...

Hi everyone, Here I have a spare p38 auto radiator up for grabs. I bought it as a replacement and it was in the car for 2 days before I found a leak. Bought another one and still had the same leak turned out it was a hose at the back of the engine :doh: As I say, in the car for 2 days and...
