So I'm replacing the engine in my 2000 DHSE (172k miles) after an overheating/ blown radiator issue that has probably cracked/broken something deep inside (as its running like a bag of scanners and belching out black smoke). So my question is this with the engine out what is worth replacing...

Need some help please guys Range Rover (2000) been off the road since Sept after head gasket or engine cracked or something. Anyway sourced an engine to put in it and was getting ready to have it taken to friend's garage to be done. The battery went dead quite soon after it was off the...

Right, car was running fine then last week the radiator split (plastic on the top) while out. Got it home (and drove fine on way home, just left the header tank cap off to ease the pressure) and ordered a new radiator which I fitted today. In order to fit it I removed the battery box...

Hi all Having a nightmare trying to replace the radiator just because I have to remove the pigging viscous fan. Tried stuffing rags in the pulley, bent a spanner but the bloody thing isn't moving. It's a diesel with a left hand thread and I'm bashing it clockwise (which is the same way the...

Hi all I've purchased some 16" wheels for my P38 so I can stick some All Terrain tyres on for winter. The wheels came with 2 road tyres and 2 Forceum ATZ tyres which are virtually brand new. I plan to buy 2 new BFG AT K/O tyres to replace the road tyres. The question is should the 2 new...

Hi all I'm thinking of buying some wheels and winter tyres for my P38 for the coming winter. I've seen some wheels with 235/70/16 BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tyres and I'm wondering if these are ok or too excessive for mostly using on the roads in winter which are mostly wet with possibly some...

As title suggests I'm looking for a decent/cheap parts supplier in North Somerset. I'm looking for a front passenger side window regulator, rear wiper motor and tailgate latch mechanism. Any ideas gratefully received. A decent breaker would be fine if there are any that specialise...

I've been looking at one of those portable jump start pack things as would be useful for camping etc. I'm wondering what sort of power is needed to turn over a P38 2.5 diesel engine? The one I'm looking has up to 900mA cracking power which means nothing to me. Does anyone know what sort of...

Hi all I'm not sure if this is the right place or if allowed but I'm sure mods will set me straight if it's not. When I had my Classic a while back I wanted to put a sub woofer in the boot like the soft dash models and so I bought the following: Boot side panels for both sides to fit and...

Hi all Aghhhhh P38 developed a EAS fault on way into work this morning and sank onto the stops. Preparing myself for the 10 mile rather bumpy journey home tonight (or would you recommend just getting recovery trusk out, am I likely to do any damage driving onthe stops?) I've got the lead...

Hi all Got a strange problem with my 2000 2.5 DHSE in that it vibrates loads. I thought it was just wheel balancing as it happend on long journeys that I'd get pins and needles feeling in my hands. However since I've done the airbags and had it in the garage to replace 4th injector and...

Well not actually dead but have sold my Trusty clean Classic and I'm a little gutted. She went on Ebay to a nice guy in Holland who came over today with his wife and they are driving back as we speak/type. He showed me pictures of a stripped chassis with brand new transmission, gearbox, 4.6l...

Hi all I keep getting a warning that the bonnet is open even when it's not, I open and close it several times and sometimes it will go off but other times just keeps saying it's still open and beeping at me. I reckon the sensor is knackered but not sure where it is or how to replace, could...

I have two hopefully simple questions which I hope someone might have come across before. 1. After changing gearbox oil and filter on my 2000 DHSE I refilled with engine running and went through the gears filling up at each stage and then back through again. When I looked back under (with fill...
