I’ve sold my P38 and have: Air filter Oil filter Fuel filter And Buckingham Blue aerosols-base coat plus clear coat. Are these of any use to forum member? £10 plus p&p? Ian

Nope. Just zap it near the receiver window. I'll look at this tomorrow. I haven't looked to see if it blinks in the ignition I may just try to reconnect the RF aerial as it might be the easier fix. I disconnected it "just in case" Thanks for all these bits of help.

A while back I had trouble when my battery flattened-alarm at 2:30 a.m., EKA impossible etc. (See my other thread if you want a laugh) I've replaced the battery with 1000CCA , moved the P38 across my driveway (in case it was picking up spurious signals from my neighbour) and unplugged the blue...

Having failed to input the EKA properly, I worried that it may not work when it has to. If it'll have no effect, then I'll just cross my fingers for when/if it's needed. Thanks for the help, folks. PS I'll check the input voltage soon.

Well! Battery reconnected (tentatively, waiting for the alarm to go off!) Nothing! Opened door, nothing, jumped in, inserted key and ... Everything normal, started happily. I only had to reset the windows and sunroof. How strange. I've disconnected the blue antenna wire from the RF receiver, and...

Big battery ordered (1000 CCA) as advised. I'll hitch it up once fully-charged, then let you all know what happens next....!

1997 4.6 HSE. Working fine until I got in and couldn't start it. It had stood for a week. Chattering from bonnet (starter motor solenoid?), "gearbox fault" on display. So I jump started it and all was OK. Ran it for a bit to let the battery recover. Last night, the alarm went off (at 0230!)...

Just over £1K, I was happy as it had: new exhaust, new tyres, refurbished wheels. Got it checked over at local 4x4 specialist who "You've not been robbed" which was refreshing!

I got my '97 4.6 HSE at the start of the year, it has 100,000 miles. Heater O-rings fail-wetting the right-hand side of the transmission tunnel carpet. Makes the inside steam up, too. Cheap O-rings but hours to get at them. Air suspension units are relatively cheap to fix (easier than...

My 4x4 independent quoted between 2 and 4 hours at £50/hr, parts from Island as above...

‪i was told low or lack of gas wouldn't trigger the book symbol. I might try Quickfit.

Oh. And the book symbol has returned. I hoped it was caused by the temp sensor (replaced) or the leaky O-rings, but obviously not. All the blend flaps appeared to move freely when I tried....

Well, eight days later... I've removed the whole dash, and replaced the O-rings. No leaks, and I've finally replaced the dash. It mostly lines up, although the rear right bolt securing the passenger airbag was bad to reach both in and out, and the driver's upper air vent was a pain to replace...

Well, I couldn't wait so I pulled the big SRS fuse under the bonnet, connected up the instrument panel and HEVAC, filled up the expansion tank, and ignored the various bleeps for the Windows etc. No leaks so far and both inlet and exit pipes are hot. Just have to keep burping the cooling system...

I want to check things are tight before re-assembling the dash. If I refit the instrument panel and HEVAC electrics, is it ok to reconnect the battery to run the engine, refill coolant and see? Or will I bu&&er something up?

Thanks people. If I want to check everything over once I've finished "fixing" things, can I do so without refitting the dash, airbag etc.? The battery's disconnected now, along with the dash, passenger airbag etc. and I read that if I want to temporarily reconnect things, I should pull the SRS...

Do they have to be replaced, or will freeing up the blend motors help?

Nope. me Billy-no-mates out in the sticks at the top of Englandshire. Looked at Nanocom, but it's more than half the value of my P38!

Oh. Bum. Hopefully it'll be blend problem, then, that'll be sorted by my attention! Any other probable causes? I really don't want to put it into a JLR dealer for diagnosis (I'm the member who was quoted over £5K for a service!)

Took me Thursday afternoon to get the dash loose (how ON EARTH did they get the driver's heater duct screw in?) and rain stopped play yesterday and today. Looks like Sunday might be heater out and refurb time, plus a few more days until replacement core arrives (I'm still vacillating between...
