    Latest instalment of the transmission saga

    It cost me just short of £400, which was more than a little annoying because I asked him to do nothing until I made a decision whether to spend money on a repair or scrap the car but he went ahead and ordered the part. My reading of the workshop manual is that the air mass meter, as it was...

    They replaced the air mass meter and air filter after a roadtest with the meter disconnected showed normal performance and did a visual check of the EGR and found it normal.

    The car definitely drives normally now, the acceleration is still poor but I understand that's a well known feature of the marque. The garage checked the EGR and it's ok, is there any value in by-passing it? Is it legal to do so?

    With luck the problem is solved, I nursed the car to the workshop on Monday, RoverTest did its thing and it's the air mass valve stuck. When it's unplugged the car runs perfectly, if with a lot of smoke, and hopefully tomorrow I'll get the call that a new one has been fitted, and that I'm about...

    Latest instalment of the transmission saga

    I'm in Waddesdon, just out of Aylesbury. I've got a couple of local independents I could go to, one a Land Rover specialist, one an enthusiast whose main interest is 1970s/80s British Leyland but also deals in Land Rovers, but if one of you guys is nearby I'd be keen to meet.

    I think the scanner is called an HH Advanced but the issue is not talking to the diesel, it's not picking up any power from the socket. It does work on my 2003 MG TF.

    No I wasn't aware of that, I'm surprised in that I thought it was an absolute requirement of the USA market that all cars be OBD compliant, but perhaps not that surprised that Rover Group technology should be so insular. Looks like it's a trip to my local garage with RoverTest equipment.

    The sluggish gear change in my 2000 P38 DSE improved a lot after an oil and filter change but on Friday it reared its head again. I did a 90 mile round trip mostly in 3rd gear at no more than 40mph, no acceleration, no power on the slightest incline and top gear only downhill when I managed to...

    Sluggish transmission

    I haven't checked the level yet, a little job for the weekend. I've got some Dexron III, I assume it will mix OK if the box is filled with IID? What Lucas do you mean, some sort of additive?

    Sluggish transmission

    I have lately acquired a 2000 P38 diesel, it's done a fair few miles but is generally very clean and was pleasingly inexpensive. It has behaved very well, both around town and on the motorway, but in the last few days has shown some inconsistent behaviour in the automatice gearbox. It is...

    Aftermarket radio fitting

    I've recently acquired a P38 Range Rover and want to install a DAB Bluetooth radio which will be a standard DIN fitting. Does anyone know where I can get a trim panel to fit around it and mask the area left when the original radio comes out? Are there any issues I might encounter connecting the...

    Well how lucky am I? I've just registered asa new member and the first post I see almost answers my question. I've just bought a W plate P38, when the dealer delivered it yesterday in the dark I could not get the central locking to function and decided to have a look today in the daylight. I...
