How it all began: It started one day when my diesel fuel pump from my 97 P38 packed in. I put in a new one but it wouldn't work. With the help of this site I discovered that the heater plugs 80 amp fuse had blown so I ordered a few. Then I did something stupid - I put a thin wire in its...

Ok, I'll start from the beginning. Drove home one evening with needle hovering on empty. Got home OK and switched off but the next morning it would turn over but not start. Presumed the tank was empty so I filled it from a jerry can and popped off the feed pipe to to the fuel filter and...

I recently bought a beautiful 1997 diesel P38 for only 1150 euros. I knew it had the coil conversion on it already and had been on the look out for one of these as I had the belief that the air suspension was troublesome and expensive to fix. (Might be wrong on that!!) I got the thing home and...

Due to the quite frankly crazy (€1500/yr) road tax here in Ireland for a large engine size Range Rover, I was considering how difficult it would be putting a P38 Rangie body onto say a 1978 classic Rangie chassis. This would reduce tax bill down to €48/yr) Anyone know if it's physically...

I have a 1993 tdi Manual rangie that has the following problem: I think the centre diff lock is stuck on. The steering has gone a bit "tight", going around sharp bend on tarmac is causing small wheel slips and my tyres seem to be wearing fast. So I jacked up a wheels at a time with...

Hi all, I have a 3.9 petrol auto classic and when driven over 50 mph the engine constantly "misses a beat". At idle and lower speeds the engine purrs no problem, loads of power, easy starter. I was wondering could this be auto gearbox "chatter" - hopping up and down gears etc. Any ideas? Richard

Hi all, I'm new to this site. Let me tell you my dilemma.- I drove a '83 Rangie to Cape Town last year and turned around and got it as far as Zambia where the 2.5 Transit engine' timing belt snapped and "Killed" the engine. This was fitted to a 4speed LT95 gearbox with an adapter plate. Now I...
