My P38 left for its new home today, feeling both sad and happy but my health comes first. It's gone to live a new life in Wales. I didn't get rid of all my diagnostics and tools this time as you never say never, also if anyone needs help in North Cambridgeshire I would be happy to help out.

So today I have been in for laparoscopic surgery and the plan was to go home tonight. However as it typical with my body there were concerns once they were in there and they had to back out. Waiting for CT and then a discussion with the surgeon in the morning. :rolleyes: Think the options will...

I had to disconnect the battery today so I could check all the connectors on the Becm were properly connected as the dashboard went blank again today. I unplugged and reseated all the connectors and the dash seems to be OK. However the external Temp on the HVAC is showing - 40c everything else...

Range Rover P38a 4.6 Vogue SE in Oslo Blue This is one of the last 300 Range Rover P38a to roll off the production line and one of 92 in Oslo Blue. This one was registered on the 30/04/2002 making it one of the very last and has had 8 owners covered almost 114000 miles and Mot till 11/08/23. I...

Following a recent health problem I have come to the decision to sell both my cars and buy a newer 4x4 that I don't need to tinker with. The Octavia Vrs will go as a trade in and then over the next few weeks am going to get the P38 cleaned and serviced ready for someone new to take forward. Once...

I normally fill up with the Tesco Momentum99 and the engine runs really sweetly. Yesterday had to put some E10 Unleaded in and what a difference, lumpy running and response is noticeably poor. Won't be doing that again. :confused:

Driving in slow traffic, stop/start at the weekend my wife commented on the whirring noise coming from drivers side virtually every time I touched the brakes, her hearing is better than mine! The noise is definitely the accumulator and it does seem to activate nearly every press of the brake...

So just went out to move the cars around and when I turned the ignition on the dash proclaimed Electrical Fault, Fuel Gauge Fault, Temperature Gauge Fault, Air Bag Fault. After moving the cars the message had gone and the dash worked OK for a bit and then it came and went a few times before...

As some of you will know I have had a long standing issue with the battery going flat for no obvious reason and then recently had the EAS pump have a catastrophic failure when it totally destroyed itself internally. Well it seems the two problems were related as since fitting the replacement...

Just putting the car back in its parking spot and the eas pump was going crazy making the whole car vibrate. By the time I got to it and pulled the plug the body was up to 75°C. Managed to decompress it all and have got it on the bench cooling down. The three motor cables have melted so guess...

So I am pretty confident that the new battery has sorted the going flat issue as it starts every time. When I started looking into the flat battery I disconnected the RF receiver for the remote unlocking and have been locking with the key which is OK most of the time but a bit of a pain when I...

So I have a couple of jobs to do on the car and have not had it plugged into the Ctek for about a week as it is up on stands at the moment. Needed to turn the ignition on yesterday and the battery was flat again. Since the last time I have removed the rf unit for the remote locking and am just...

Now my 2002 Vogue SE has passed the mot for another year I am going to fix some of the other issues it had when I bought it. It has the Alpine radio/cassette with cd changer in the boot along with the Harmon Kardon speaker system and sub woofer. All the bass speakers in the doors and the sub...

MOT day today I was a bit nervous but after all the remedial work I have done I was quite hopeful. Sailed through with no advisories, not one. I can now have a good go at some of the bodywork issues before the winter gets here. Has anyone repaired the framework under the side steps or is it a...

I have just ordered new delphi ball joints as they need doing before the mot at the end of July. I intend to purchase an extractor and wonder which ones to avoid? Can't justify buying a LR one if you can still get them. There seem to be two types, ones that look like a G clamp and ones with a...

My P38 is currently laid up for the summer ready for me to do a few jobs before the next MOT. It is parked a lot closer to the house than usual and surprise surprise the battery went flat pretty quickly. I disconnected the RF interface for the central locking and problem solved. Mine has v2 of...

I have been looking for a better diagnostic tool for my P38 than just a basic obd2 reader. I can't afford a Nanocom Evo no matter how brilliant it is so have bought EAS unlock version 4 from RSW Solutions in America. It runs on any Windows laptop or tablet which I already have. I have given it a...

4.6 petrol. I am getting a persistent error code P0112 which points to the air temp sensor in the MAF. I have checked for air leaks in the induction pipe and that's all OK. I have cleaned the connector with switch cleaner no difference. If I take the air box cover off and just rev the engine the...

As I posted a while back I needed to have the lpg system on my Vogue SE serviced as the previous owner had not tried or used it, maybe. I put some gas in it and tried it, it ran lumpy at low speed and under acceleration but at a steady 50 it seemed better. So last week I took it to a local...

Is there a recommended way to get the dashboard switches out. The rear fog light doesn't work so I want to check the switch connection as par of the diagnosis. Fronts work fine, rear switch doesn't light up when the fronts are on.
