Hi, I am suspecting a head gasket failure but would welcome any ideas. I have a 96' P38 4.0 V8 which has started pressurising the coolant and as a result it is loosing a significant amount without any visible leaks. It has been using far too much fuel as well in my opinion. There is no white...

Hi there, I was having a mysterious problem with over heating, changed thermostat etc... it turned out to be a blocked return pipe in the expansion tank, so i replaced the tank and the problem was solved. Until the next problem arose............................lol

Will have another look, particularily on top of the tank for fuel. I think the real problem is the price of poxy petrol. Oh dear, moan moan moan

Hi there, Having a simple problem now, not sure whether it is a fuel leak or just a 4.0 symptom. Basically everytime i put fuel in, the gauge registers the fuel. Then after a short drive to say the shops, i start the engine and the fuel level drops noticably, and so on a so forth for every...

Thanks for your replies, I had intended to do this myself but wimped out and had a mechanic do it. He said that the new filter was too big and that the screws/bolts that secure the filter would not line up as the existing one was much smaller. I think the only solution is to remove it and go...

Aye, thats the last resort, leaves me off road till its done! Tis probably the best solution though.

Dear all, I recently bought a new filter for the auto box on my P38 Range rover, It's a 1996 4.0 SE (Auto obviously). The part Land Rover gave me was RTC 4653 and the company I bought it off confirmed that. However I had the sump taken off to replace it, only to find the new filter was too...

Not much of a mechanic but I reckon its worth checking the fuel filter too

Hi there I was apprehensive about buying a P38 as all the homework I did indicated that they are prone to problems. I chose a 4.0 SE auto with an LPG conversion and although I have had annoying problems (nothing terribly serious) I would always reccomend one. The comfort of the interior and the...

Dud battery after all that

Hi The fuse board was bought new from a land rover dealer and is a genuine part, i did note a different part number on the new one however. I put all the relays from the old box in the exact same places in the new one and double checked it was right. The box came with new fuses - hence the...

Hello and once more i write to seek advice! I have a 96' P38 4.0 SE auto, Just replaced the under bonnet fuse box due to strange noises, etc.. and put back together with all the old relays but new fuses. The first time i tried to turn it over it wouldn't start just a load of crazy messages in...

Hi there, I have been debating whether or not to do this job myself, bought the parts and oil and so far haven't gotten round to doing it. Anyway thanks for your post - I have decided to give it a go. cheers

I have been told this before, and I honestly think its the best advice. I could try and save money but in the end its a Rangie and its worth looking after! Thanks for the input!!

Hi there, I am having a problem with the off side headlight wiper motor, it seems to be stuck on, both the motor and the spray. I have removed the fuse and problem stopped but would like to fix it. Does anyone know this problem or do i need a new motor, etc..? Also noticed briefly a fizzing...

Just wanted to post this as maybe it will help someone else out! My beloved P38 overheated on me on a short local journey, i pulled over and opened the bonnet to see the coolant spraying all over the place. I stopped for a while and then refilled the coolant, returned home and called the RAC...
