I was trying to syphon out £50 worth of petrol before I sell it, but it doesn't work :( I even got a vacuum pump sucking the pipe but nothing. What have they done to stop you? The pipe seemed to go in a long way. My dad seems to think the filler pipe might go right into the tank and point...

After only 9 months of Rangey ownership I am defecting. It's been a nice car in parts and I have had fun the few times I took it off road. It's been nice to drive but with fuel cost being what it is and me not wanting to "risk" money on an LPG conversion and with all the things in the car...

I am quite happy today. This morning a BMW X5 came whizzing past me on the A38 in Devon. I was doing a steady 55mph. Something clicked in my brain and I thought "***k you mate" so I put my foot down and caught up with him as soon a a van in front of him moved over he shot off in a cloud of...

Does the A/C make much difference on the MPG for a 4.6 on petrol? Does the A/C have less of an impact due to the large engine compared to a Ford Focus or something or will it still use the same amount of extra fuel no matter what car it's on? I hate the heat so what ever the answer, it's...

RE: 1998 4.6 P38 Fuse 10 blew a week or so ago. The manual says it's for the RH seat. This was confirmed by the seat adjustments not working. I just put in a new 30A fuse and the seat was working again. But when I started the engine the message popped up saying the fuse had gone again. What...

Range Rover P38 EAS Air Suspension Compressor Pump Seal on eBay, also, Range Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 24-Apr-08 13:24:51 BST) Are these anything special or is £20 for them just a con? As the pump is 10 years old is it worth changing these even if it seems to be working...

I just took the caravan out today for the first time since getting it. Just testing everything works ok before a short holiday. I must say that I was so impressed at how the RR handled it. Pulling it up a kerb was a piece of cake and I felt so in control. No revving up and slipping the clutch...

1998 P38 4.6 Petrol only ----------------------- What symptoms do you get if your mass airflow meter is faulty? Car drives great normally but put your foot down to overtake and you get a sudden loss of power for about half a second. It picks up afterwards and you can really feel the...

Hi sometimes when I park up and try to lock the car with the remote nothing happens. I have to first press the unlock button and then press the lock. It works then. Is this a common problem? It doesn't always do it.

How is the best way to route a thick cable for a bass speaker amp to the boot? If I run it through the interior is there more space behind the carpet on any particular side? It was a piece of cake on my V70 as the battery was in the boot.

I have a rattle that is most evident when the engine is just started and is still slightly lumpy. It feels like it's under the driver's feet. You don't notice it when driving. MOT bloke said it's most likely the CAT come lose inside the exhaust as he never noticed anything else while doing his...

I am sick and tired of my EAS drooping down one side. I have replaced the air spring and it's still no better. I can't find any leaks, and i get no errors. I want to spend time going through the whole system to check it. Firstly though I need to know how it is supposed to work before I look to...

Took my P38 off road last Sunday. On Monday I noticed an odd rattle. I presume the two are related. Going over bumps doesn't make the rattle worse although just the uneven tick over on a cold engine is enough to make the rattle noticeable. At its worse you can feel it through your feet. I...

1998 P38 Range Rover My battery went flat AGAIN over the weekend. I put it on charge over night and this morning it had forgotten everything. Windows not set as usual but this time it would not respond to the key fob either :( After three fruitless attempts trying the EAK I phoned the...

My water pump had been making noises for a week or two at low revs. Today at 70mph it decided to fail completely. I lost all my coolant and created my own fog effects on the motorway :) The top pulley has gone all floppy so I presume the bearings have just collapsed or something. It's had...

I have a dog guard that I don't need and am selling it on ebay. It came with the car so I do not know if the fixings in the roof came with the dog guard or were standard in the car anyway. When I sell the guard will I have to unscrew these plastic bits in the roof or should the buyer already...

I can't believe the symptoms I have could describe a simple leak or compressor that is no longer able to pump. Maybe I have a combination of faults, some of which are intermittent. Firstly. The front drivers side drops noticeably when parked. Recently the drivers front dropped while driving. I...

I might try a visit to Sibbertoft on the 25th of Nov and was just wondering if anyone from here was also planning to go on that day? Has anyone here been and what's it like. I've seen a few videos on Youtube and it looks interesting.

On Saturday I went down to Berkshire 4x4 for a off road "lesson". The car I drove was a old manual Disco. This was the first time I'd driven off road and I was absolutely amazed at what this car could do. I was told they use older cars because they prefer the fact they have no traction control...
