Hi Folks, The general consensus on here seems to be to buy a genuine key from a dealer as the ebay items are poor quality and need cutting. The bigger issue is that the transponder won't deactivate the immobiliser so while the key may open the car you are still snookered. I just wanted to invite...

Hi Folks, I have searched and found a few leads but to keep it recent does anyone know a decent insurance company that will cover our 1998 Range Rover DSE that we have as a 3rd car. Weonly use it to tow a trailer very occasionally due to fuel prices etc... It just sits on the drive most of the...

Hi Folks! We don't use our Range Rover very much and the battery has given up. Does anyone know where I can purchase a "good value" battery from for my 1998 2.5 DSE please? I'm told mine is the larger of the two batterys as there was a slightly smaller one fitted to the Range Rovers with...

Hi - I have just done a stupid thing! We don't use the DSE P38 very much and today I found the battery was flat. So I opened it with the key and tried the ignition to see lights came on. I then popped the bonnet and got the jump leads out to jump start it. However as soon as I touched the...

Hi, I'm considering selling the DSE as its only doing 26mpg and with fuel being £1.27 per litre its just too rich for my blood. Can someone tell me what sort of MPG I can expect from a P38 4.0L car? Thanks Richard

Hi, Can anyone help with the following issue please? Our 1997 P38 DSE drips water from around the gearbox housing and I'm at a total loss as to where its from. I removed the inspection cover from under the gearbox and the water is dripping from above the gearbox but I can't see any further...

Hi folks, I just want to bounce this around other people to see if it sounds like I have a problem causing poor MPG. Our 97 2.5 DSE (Manual) with 90k on it is driven 28 miles each way to work and back at a steady 60mph till it goes nose to tail in traffic for the last 4 miles, this takes about...

Hi, I thought I'd start a different thread as this is a much simpler question that I'm hoping anyone with a P38 on EAS could answer. With the engine running, bonnet up and the car in the level position my eas compressor runs for about 20 seconds then goes off for about 10 seconds, then on for...

Hello to all, Well we've had our car a couple of weeks and today the suspension started playing up. The car went into off road mode all by itself and the compressor was running constantly (even when the car was switched off). It was nearly impossible to drive as it bounced so much and it...

Hi - Our DSE temp gauge rarely moves from just above the blue end of the scale. Unless we're pulling up a long hill or something then it has been as high as half way. I've had a few 525TDS Bmw's and I know the thermostat is bit of a weak point. The whole plastic thermostat housing is rubbish...

Hi - I see privacy glass on Range Rovers all the time. Our DSE has mildly tinted glass. My question is - is OEM privacy glass a window film or is it actually tinted glass? I had a friend who tinted him windows on his nova as a kid and this stuff looks / is a world of difference to how I...

Hi, Can someone please advise if a P38 has a plug ready to take towbar electrics? I saw ebay item 320174585597 which suggests it is but I can't find the receiving plug on my car? Am I looking in the wrong place??? Can someone enlighten me at all? I've just been reading the posts on key fobs...

Hello to all! This is my first post here as we have only just today bought our 1997 Range Rover DSE. I have used a few vehicle forums before and I know how valuable they are for all users. As such I would be most grateful if anyone with could help me out with what could possibley be a simple...
