Finally today got around to fitting the valve block o ring repair kit to my '96 RR Two of the non return valves (NRVs) are quite badly damaged, does anyone know where I could get a set (of 3) I don't mind if they are secondhand as long as they are in good condition. re-built the block...

1996 2.5DT with about 125k on the clock, unknown if the suspension airbags have been changed. Replaced the compressor but it hasnt made any difference, sitting on the bump stops. I have Datatek's cable and have tried resetting the "max speed 30mph" error, the compressor starts and even with...

Recently experienced extreme lack of power and what feels like fuel starvation when trying to drive my 1996 P38 2.5DT up a ramp to get it washed for MOT Put it down to a problem i've been having for some time where if the fuel level is below about 1/3 it gets hard to start after a day or two...

Hi again Forum users! Went out to move the RangeRover and found it down basically on its knees - lower than "access" height - sitting so low that it cant be moved. Tried starting it and hoping it would rise, but no go. I guess 1st stage is to get a cable from Datatek - any other diagnostics I...

Several months ago I replaced the ratio shift motor and the hi/lo ECU under the passenger seat in my 1995 RangeRover 2.5DT It performed faultlessly for about 250 miles (only gets occasional use) until earlier in the week when the dreaded message appeared back on the console while I was driving...

50 miles from home, and with a trailer on the back of my P38A 2.5DT (Manual Transmission).. Stopped to unload the trailer, when I got back in and went to drive off the Range Rover was in low range. No matter what I tried it didn't make a difference. At one stage the message centre told me I...

Hi, my P38 has the old type RF receiver which causes the battery to drain every 2-3 days. I have been offered an ALR5020 secondhand... Is this the newer version? It doesn't match with ANY part numbers i've found on here, perhaps it's out of a non-uk model? Any ideas? Thanks! Pete

Hi A couple of days ago the battery went flat in my 1996 2.5DT Today I got around to getting an extension lead out and a charger attached, to my shock when I switched it on, the needle on the charger went to the back of the scale and the charger started making a very loud hum. I am...

Hi I have discovered an oil leak from a hole in the rocker cover on my P38 1996 2.5DT There appears to have been a bolt in the hole at some stage, possibly holding a bracket or something? Should I just plug it? Hoping someone can point me in the right direction!

After driving approx 4 miles this evening I arrived home and was having a nosey under the bonnet of my new (to me) p38 2.5DT I removed the EAS cover and noticed the compressor was quite hot, could touch it, but if it had been any hotter it would've been uncomfortable. Is this normal...

Just picked up our first 2.5DT Range Rover (P38) and while driving I have noticed the temperature gauge never gets above the top of the blue section, in actual fact at one stage yesterday it went down from the top of the blue section to about halfway up the blue section. At first I was...

Hi people, Great forum here, very helpful indeed. Just bought our first 4x4, a 1996 Range Rover DT off of eBay, collect it sometime during the week all being well, so no doubt when I get it home I will have LOADS of questions to ask! Cheers for now Pete

Hi, about to go and look at some 93 - 98 2.5 TD Discos and would appreciate hints & tips etc on what to look for regarding rust /rot and common mechanical problems. Cheers, Pete
