Hello again boys & girls, I was on this forum many, many years ago when I had my lovely '95 DSE, loved it to bits & regretted selling it EVERYTHING was 100%!! Anyroadup, after several more cars, I pined for another to 'play' with, still got 10 bikes I restored, fed up with them so I found a...

Hi peeps, haven't been on for a while as everythings been working ok!! So, a few days ago whilst driving, 'click' the central locking kicked-in, all locked, I assumed i'd somehow 'elbowed' it & locked it, so I unlocked by lifting the push-button, all seemed ok, then, 5mins later, it...

Well after 3 problem free years I had a bit of a shock! '96 P38 2.5 DSE Used to get the flat battery problems, a couple of days non-use & she was dead. Did the usual, upgraded the RF reciever, checked for BECM going to sleep etc. Ended up fitting a 1000 ah cold-crank battery & no more probs...

FREE to a good home, before I take 'em to the tip!! 4 x very good Disco steel wheels with 4 very good 205 x 16s (like new, fully inflated, no punctures etc, ) 3 x very good 255 x 16, again like new. Collect from Barnsly, S/Yorks.

Had my 2.5DSE for over 8 years now, been a great, enjoyable experience. Done most of the 'usual' RR jobs, airbags (4) compressor, discs/pads, blew a radiator, fitted a Kenlow 17" electric fan (fantastic now) & a new hi-lo ratio box ecu. A year into ownership I fitted a new battery,seemed ok for...

Hey guys, anyone took the rotaty coupling to bits?? Reason being, I recently had a flat battery & got the dreadded 'Airbag fault' come up on the dash, Hooked up the Rovacom & it wouldn't clear it, then it told me that the drivers airbag is open circuit, so I suspect the rotary coupling is...

Hoping that some of you very nice people can help me out here. during this cold-snap, I, just like most of you, have been setting the heating on 'program' & leaving it running for 15min or so, then its nice & clear & warm upon setting-off at 0600!! Now we all know that 'program' switches front &...

For some reason I found the battery completely flat this morning, (good, new-ish battery) Had to open with the key, key in ignition, ZILCH! dead as a do-do! Battery on charge for a few hours, then, as soon as I re-connected, down went all the locks! Remote did nothing, so I found an...

Wound up the front passenger side window the other day, went up nice & quiet as usual, but when it got to the top, it obviously stopped, but the motor didn't & there was a loud 'Bang-Bang Bang from the mechanism as well as the window 'jumping' to the 'banging!! I imagine some sort of electrical...

Pulled 'down' the wheel on my '96 P38 yesterday to get in to the crevasses to clean, when I set it back to the original position, I find it won't lock, it seems to loosely 'ratchet' when going up & down, but even with the adjusting lever right back, it still will not lock, so at the moment I...

Got home from work today only to find that I couldn't remote-lock it, got back in & restarted the car, & checked stuff, with the engine running the headlights & rear lights permanently on (lightswitch has no effect) rear windows work, but not the fronts,suspension goes from mid to high, but not...

OK, here's the story, a year ago my 95 DSE was getting difficult to start, the Rovecom told me the glowplugs were down, bought 6 new Bosch units, fitted, perfect!! Not being overly impressed with the diesel's 'pulling' power, I fitted & tuning-chip box, this made quite a difference in torque &...

Recently went through a 'difficult starting' phase, 30-40 seconds continuous cranking fefore starting from cold, once started it was perfect all day, then same again next morning ( 0600). Since I fitted new glow plugs last year, I thought I'd try the glow-plug heater relay, no dice, bought &...

It was -6 celcius this morning when I did a bit of 'shuffling' of stuff about in the yard, as usual, I popped her into low-range (96 2.5 DSE manual) no probs at all, however, pushed the dash button to re-engage 'high' & it just sat there 'flashing'. Appears to somehow be 'stuck' in low, took it...

Anyone had experience of cold starting? Had my '96 2.5 DSE for a year now, replaced compressor Air bags etc, just lately, when freezing or below, its become a pig to start, wait for heater sign to go out, but it takes a minuite or so to start, it 'sort' of fires, trys, but won't catch...

Only had the 95 p38 for a few weeks, already fitted M.A.R.S.re-sealed the valve-block, new airbags & compressor, everything now perfect, but it seems a bit sluggish, so i'm thinking of fitting one of the inline 'black-box' type of engine management 'chips'. These units apparently re-map the...

Hi people, I'm new to this forum, but not to LR's, had 3 RR Classic V8's, just got rid of my 2.5 Disco after 6 great trouble-free years, now have a nice '95 2.5 DSE. Still got the hi-top LWB transit for work, XJ40, kit-car, Smart, & 5 big bikes!! Sad or what?
