Quick question, does changing the crankshaft position sensor on a Motronic P38 require some kind of "programming" or diagnostics tool to be run? I'm asking because my car dealers mechanic claims such is the case.

Sent you a pm. Got the syncmate yesterday and went to pick up the car from the mechanic today. Battery completely flat ofcourse and it said key code lockout on the dash display, so we just towed it back home again. I didn't even try the syncmate yet because it feels like it's properly...

Ok, here's an update on the situation. I called up the workshop yesterday and the mechanic told me hasn't been able to diagnose the car because they don't have the proper obd tool for it and thus haven't been able to access the computer. They also told me the alarm went off a few times (with the...

Right, I towed the car to the workshop this evening and told the mechanic about the fuel pump rewiring and the remote receiver thing. They will look into it first thing tomorrow. Another thing, I had left car with the battery charger plugged in this week and when I got home from work late last...

I'll make sure to let the mechanic know about the remote receiver thing when I talk to him on friday. If it turns out removing the antenna solves the possible battery drain problem (I hope it's either that or a bad battery), I could buy the newest receiver eventually if I feel I need the remote...

Thank you everyone for the replies and the clarification regarding the engine immobilization and out of sync issues. So it appears I'm suffering from a desynced ECU/BECM. Now I called the dealer today and we agreed I would take the car to a mechanic and start from there. Funnily the local...

Well it's not an absolute emergency because I will be away the entire week working so I won't be able to use it until thursday anyway. I simply want the car in a properly working state. But I will try your suggestion on thursday if nobody else has any other ideas. I read somewhere that he...

I've been a Range Rover owner for only a week and a LZ member for less than that. My introduction thread is over here, https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/hello-from-sweden.325032/ . I've posted my thoughts and actions on the car since I got it a week ago, if it might be of any relevance or...

There's a thing called "raggare" in Sweden which is sort of a remnant from the 50-60s when American cars and culture was really popular in Sweden. I never understood the appeal of American cars but there you go. Oh boy, back in '98 I was only 7 years old! Stockholm is a beautiful city...

Thank you all for the warm welcome! My username is just an alias and is an older form of my real name, Robert. :) I was actually excited to try out the air suspension when I went to test drive it, so I was a little disappointed when the dealer told me it had been converted to coils. It would...

Thank you for your replies! The car has done 210000 km. It was about 50000 more than my target mileage when looking for a car, but since it looked so well taken care of and of course because I liked it so much as well as the intention to keep it for as long as possible, I thought it wouldn't...

Hello! I am 26 years old and from Sweden! I was born in Stockholm but recently moved away from the big city and now live southward. :) Just a couple of days ago I bought my first Land Rover and frankly my first car ever (long overdue I suppose). It is a Range Rover P38A 4.6 HSE -99. I am super...
