Sorry delayed coming back, I have been away and unable to get to the car until today. V1/V2 bolts don't appear to do anything. Engine warning light has now appeared (great!) which I think usually signifies EGR valve sticking. Taking to be plugged in tomorrow and will get them to show me how to...

Thanks for picture. I definitely saw at least one of the the V1 V2 bolt heads. It didn't appear to turn but I'll have another look tomorrow. Thanks again, oh and Happy new year!

Thanks, I'm 90% sure they are Halogens, certainly not turning xennons. Thanks for Onedrive manual, looked all through but afraid nothing helpful. I just can't see the so called adjustment screws and can't see any blanking plugs. I'm at a loss at the moment.

Not sure whether they are Halogens or bixenons, I guess Halogens because I presume they were the originals and I don't think they have been changed. Afraid I can't tell because I'm not sure what to look for. The main thing is, there are no sign of Phillips screws that they say to use to adjust.

Disco 3 2008 SE Deisel. Went in for MOT and they said dipped beam was too low so they adjusted it higher. Now miles too high! I suspect suspension was down a bit at the front when they did it - after service. In manual it seemed straight forward to readjust, I've done it before with other...

Sorry my reply crossed with yours. That's great should be able to get to it now.....thanks again

Thanks for your help. I found one bolt next to the rear seats by the back door. That loosened that area but can't find bolts by the boot door at the moment so if you were able to find more info would be grateful. Afraid I don't know what your comment on the seat belts refers to?

Guys, I recently sold my loved (and hated!) P38 after 12 years - and bought an 08 Disco 3. All ok at the moment except the Park distance control which just gives out a continuous bleep when I switch on ignition then doesn't work at all, with the warning light flashing. Plugged in (£20) by...

Sorry for delay replying. Car is an Auto. Have had one or two people say that the 13 pin is more complex than the old 7 pin or twin sockets. I have used a converter from 13 pin on caravan to the double sockets on the back of my old RR. I could do the same with the Disco if that was best...

Well, after 12 years have sold my loved and hated (but mostly loved) P38A. Now bought a Disco 3. I've left the Rangey forum and joined you lot in Disco. Hello! So, anybody any fitting instructions or advice on fitting 13 pin electrics to my shiny disco 3. Can't seem to find anything under...

Disco 1, 3 years. P38 12 years sold with regrets. Disco 3 from July 2017

I've towed with a (chipped) BMW diesel P38 Auto for 12 years. Quick it ain't, but it is happy to work hard pulling the van - but my van's nearer 1500kg so 1800 would be a bit harder I suppose. I've towed with lots of cars over the years including 4wd's - Jeep Cherokee (don't!), a Shogun...

Ref: your advice and comments chaps. In the first reply above from "Grrrr" - your possible diagnosis was correct mate. An airbag feed wire under the seat had become tangled in the seat runner and had shorted out. So have a look at yours! As "Grrrr" also said, there are lots of seats on...

Cheers for that - although I've no idea where the crash sensor or wiring might be? I had assumed it was built into the seat.......

Hey! Never thought about changing the seat! Doh! Thank for that I'll look on eBay now. Rob

P38 BMW diesel DSE year 2000. I've had this vehicle for 12 years but perhaps not much longer after this...... Just left a shop, (getting a jar of mayonnaise for she who must be obeyed if you want the full picture), got in car, turned on ignition and warning said AIRBAG FAULT. Oh, I...

I have had my 2000 P38 BMW diesel for over eleven years. It has been a great car and paintwork, with reasonable care, has always been excellent. However recently patches of the lacquer coating has flaked off. The exposed paintwork rapidly goes dull. It can be brought back to some extent with...

I have Contact cleaner and will use that as you advise. Thanks .....Rob

Sorry chaps, I should have searched and realised there are lots of threads on this and it appears a small squirt of WD40 and wiggle key round a bit should do the trick. I'll look first next time. Thanks

Hi chaps I keep getting the above message after I have taken the ignition key out, which wont allow me to lock the car with remote until it clears - which can take minutes. I can lock with key but I don't think alarm is then armed. My question: is it a mechanical switch, which a drop of oil on...
