I come to you from over the page on the Range Rover part of the forum. Cutting a long story etc... Our P38 (the Duchess) has been with us for about 6 years now but when our new Granddaughter arrived we discovered that neither the Rangie or SWMBO's Rav 4 had ISO fittings for the baby seat...

Is anyone else watching this? I think that I keep seeing a P38 in the car park at the school and passing the flat. Does it have a part in the story or am I just being an anorak?

I told 'The Duchess' (our P38) that our recent changes were for the best "Let the Freelander do the hard work," I said "You can just enjoy the new level of TLC we're giving you." Didn't work. In typically petulant fashion the old girl is now stuck on the drive, not going anywhere. I...

It all started with a post about not being able to get a good fit for a baby seat in the rear of our P38. Never did manage to do it and family talk turned to the idea that after 6 years ownership, maybe grandad would be better off with a more modern car. Next we tried fitting the baby seat to...

For us, the best part of the lockdown easing is that we're spending more time with our first Granddaughter of 14 months. A new 'Joie' baby seat has been acquired for the Range Rover in anticipation of some road trips to come. It is over 35 years since we did this last time - [remember...

Do you remember my tribulations about non starting and EAS faults? Well here's a post script. Turned out that the blowing of fuses in the starter circuit was down to the EAS compressor being seized! Yes, the new one that I thought I was clever to have bought in an ebay 'make an offer' back at...

Just when you think it is OK to compliment your RR on reliability.......... Shopping run - Morrison's car park - key puts Ign on OK but the start turn just interrupts radio and some dash lights. Engine doesn't turn over. Cheated to get home by 'flashing' a screwdriver from the main feed to...

On a bit of a roll today! Oil change this morning, next job in line is a faulty electric window. Passenger side front. All other switches in the console and at the doors are working fine. Switch panel now out of the housing, doorcard removed, everything dry and clean. No obvious broken wires or...

After fitting new rear bags when I first bought my car over 4 years ago, the EAS has performed more or less perfectly. Then, on the M4 recently there was a beep, beep and the dreaded 'EAS fault, 35MPH restrict.' message. Cutting a long story short:- slow drive home with suspension on 'access'...

Have to admit that I had come to accept the sluggishness of my 2.5 DSE. In all other respects it is the best car I've owned but was continually hunting for a few extra BHP and avidly following any postings about others suffering the same problem. Until today! Thanks to the Landyzone Gurus and...

Well into my third year of running a 2.5DSE with 100% reliability record and my first post here is with a problem! About a week ago I noticed that the car was getting harder to start cold or warm. Never mind, a second go at the heaters seemed to fix it. Then there was a loss of power...

Now in my third year of owning a P38 2.5DSE (2001) and its 'So far so good!' Came to me from the second owner of over 12 years and although it had been standing for more than a year there was a pretty comprehensive maintenance record with a good local indy whose approbation was that 'you won't...
