I found this in the sump when I took it off for a reseal alongside a socket. Maybe anyone knows if it's something from the engine or some random piece of rubbish? It looks as if it's been flattened. Many thanks

Left rear brake has been getting stuck sometimes, to the point where it stinks and the rim is hot. I put new guide pins on the caliper and greased them accordingly, but problem hasn't gone away. We got another caliper to replace the old one (not brand new) and it seemed to fix the issue. But on...

I've had it changed as the old one was leaking like a cow. After 1000km the replacement has also started leaking. It looks like the rear seal, however I wanted to know if the gap in the picture is normal? I think the old one was flush. Red arrow showing gap, blue arrow showing bolt I assumed to...

Hello, My 300Tdi won't start, battery full, clean connections but when turning the key I just get a single relay click and that's all. I tried a jumper cable from the negative onto the engine block and same thing. It's the first time it's happened. It was -22 degrees C today so all I can think...

I have a laser tachometer, how should I go about measuring the revs at idle on a 300tdi? Assuming it does not have the correct alternator pulley. I can think of painting a white stripe on the belt or one of the bigger pulleys. Any ideas?

Hi, So when filling back with coolant, the level in the tank has to be about halfway. The radiator is full, but I can't fill the thermostat housing to the top without the level rising in the tank. What is the correct way to fill the system? I already checked the manual but it makes no mention...

300Tdi Whilst on a drive rev counter stopped working, battery light came on and I lost power steering. Just as I thought the belt had come off, but not for the reason I suspected. This bolt had broken off and now the remaining bit is stuck in the water pump housing, but that's not all: A year...

As the title says. I just noticed this today while disconnecting the linkage. I'm not sure how it is supposed to operate as this is my first LR with CDL. On my D2 I used to go under the car with a 10mm spanner to engage, good days.. I took a short video of the linkage, if anyone can maybe spot...

Hi all, Ever since I got my D1 (300tdi, manual, '97) it jerks a lot when taking off or changing gears. I read a lot about it and what seemed most likely to me was that the splines on the output shaft must be worn. This summer I bought a spare gearbox with input and output shafts looking great...

I know they do fit, but is a spacer needed? Is the offset different than on the standard D1 steel rims? Many thanks, Matei

For the first time since we bought this p38 it rained, and the headlining got damp on the sliding cover for the sunroof. Now the headlining came off the plywood sort of material and I cant glue it properly back on. This is a problem because now it wont open without using a screwdriver to push...

Recently had injection pump changed at a workshop if it's worth mentioning, although I had this problem before. When I turn the engine off, after a few seconds I can hear some gulp gulps which I believe could be an air leak somewhere letting diesel flow back down the lines. When I start the...

I was very upset to find out there was no access to the fuel pump from inside the car, like on a D2 for example, as I don't have a lift and did not want to cut a hole in the floor. What I ended up doing was lifting the car on wading height, removing the battery after which I supported the...

Anyone knows what type the bulbs in the rear plate lamp are and what they are rated? I dont have access to my disco to check and I will need to change it at once when I get to it... ugh Thank you

P38A 2.5DSE '99 Bought it with a leaking front axle seal, I didn't think much of it as I knew they are easy and cheap to replace. I did replace it, it did stop leaking, my guess is for around 70 miles or so, and now it leaks again. Plenty. First I thought I'll just re-do my work, maybe polish...

Is it fairly easy to mount windows in the rear on a 3 door D1 that has the van sort of look? On the inside the panels look very easily removable and on the outside the edges of the would-be window are cracking. I haven't tried removing them, however. Has anyone done this?

What do you use in your P38? We bought this one like this, the unit is some satnav from 2003, I imagine retrofitted. It measures 16.5x10cm and we want to replace it with some sort of carplay so we can use the satnav from phone. Either via USB or Bluetooth. Any recommendations?

In the manual it says 1.7 litres, but whilst filling up waiting for the fill plug to start dripping I noticed I was putting in 2 litres and counting. Made sure the vehicle was on flat surface, went through all the height settings and the level was still below the line. I have to mention that I...

My girlfriend bought herself a P38, her first RR, and I, of course am the caretaker of the car. I've never owned or worked on one before? Where should I start with the maintenance, besides all the oil and filter changes? It's a 2.5 diesel, 155k miles, 1999. Only problems I noticed were a leak...

Does anyone know what bolts are used for retaining the seat belt buckles on the back seats unto the floor? Unfortunately can't order original, just have to buy a similar size tomorrow. Thanks.
