finally got to view and drive the disco I was looking at, and I have to say I was very disappointed. Body and chassis in excellent condition, spotless inside, all diffs in good shape, no big leaks etc, air suspension fine, great stamped service history. Went for a test drive and my bubble...

from what I can gather, guy says it hasn't been farmed or towed. used mostly for the school run etc..

Hi everyone, previously owned a p38 range rover for a few years and moved on. Now looking at buying a disco. Seen one locally, 2003 facelift td5 S, 83000 miles, full stamped service history, upgraded 18" alloys, side steps etc. Trader selling it says it is spotless, hasn't even had to valet...

Big matt, my problem is that my wife loved my old RR just as much as me and wasnt happy that i got rid. She has an astra estate for the school run and shopping, but loved going out on family days in comfort with high up views. Will keep you in mind when the winter rolls in but i am...

Cheers to "the big lad" for the detailed advice. Like i say i am budgeting about £6k. Dont have it yet, coming just before Xmas, so just trying to gauge the market, possibly get a bargain in the new year when most are cash strapped. Can do basic tech stuff like filters, brake pads...

hello guys, currently looking for a disco, and am budgeting for about £6k. Has to be diesel, unsure about auto or manual...advice/suggestions. Will be using to go to and from work and some light off roading. Previously has a 95 RR 2.5dt, but had to go as the transmission and gearbox on...

thankfully i only did this once when i had bought it, as it needed a good going over. Now, armed with rave, i have done it myself. As i keep telling the wife, i'm not made of ****ing money!!!

Currently own a 1995 p38 dse. This winter she needed a new middle/back exhaust (£200), new pre-tensioner arm plus fitting (£160), new battery £75, plus usual running costs. Change of filters, new oil and topping up diffs/gearbox about £150. 100 miles is about £25 of diesel, around town/short...

Does anyone know were i can get a 2nd hand transfer box ecu for a p38 diesel manual. Dont want to have to hand over £160 to the local range dealer for a new one if i can help it. Ebay usually has around a dozen available but all for petrol autos. Any advice welcome.

No problems, you can checkout the website www.tawpark4x4.com, which has the ebay link on it, plus photos and full fitting instructions. Learn from my mistakes..... read the instructions carefully!!

:DGoldpanner, glad u read instructions carefully, unlike me. Got the grey blue wire connected and my rangie is going a treat. My battery is also thankful for the rest!!

Goldpanner, many thanks for the update, at work tonite but will look at in the morning. Just one question......w3hat the hell have i actually cut into in the wiring loom?????? Time to consult rave for wisdom.

many thanks goldpanner, all help greatly appreciated.

thanks goldpanner, sounds like i have the exact same unit as you. When you cut into the engine temp sender wire, the instruction say to cut the blue/grey wire on the wiring loom. The only one i could find had a dark grey stripe which looked almost brown..... Does this sound like the right one...

Have a 1995 2.5dtse with the usual bmw engine. Since i have had it, it has always had the hot start issue. Now dont laugh. but i bought an aftermarket fix of a reputable seller on ebay, device is a 30 second delay relay circuit board, in a housing. Connected to engine temp sender, 12v supply...

glad to see a few more irish owners appearing. I'm based in co.derry.

hi, just replaced both back and middle boxes on a 95 p38 diesel. Really hard to source, local franchaise didnt have them. My usual motor spares shop had problems but eventually got one from bosal, about £75. Really need to check exhaust layout against a autospares catalogue. They have...

just put my p38 95 through mot today, clean pass, but i have the exact same problem. Had it to the local tyre centre twice in the last three months, my own mechanic says all bushes and track rod ends etc are fine......... dont know were else to look??

i have a 94my/95 registered 2.5 dt, and replaced the centre and rear exhausts this week for the mot test. My local motorparts supplier had real difficulty getting a system for my rangie. This model went from 09/94-11/95, then they changed the layout of the exhaust system, even Charles Hurst...

yeah, i washed it through twice with about 500ml of red diesel, good for breaking down the oil deposits. After that i used about 200ml of unleaded to rinse it clean, then left it on its side to dry. Petrol is good as it will lift the last of the residue, plus it will evaporate dry a lot...
