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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The backlighting on switches around the HVAC (heated screens, air con, seats etc) all show when lights on, but none of the switches light up when the button is pressed. Is it strange that all have gone? Can I remove the individual switches to get to bulbs or do I have to remove panel...

I have now had my P38 for just about 10 years. It cost me £12500 when I bought it and I have taken it from 28k miles to 98k miles. Of course many of the usual things have gone over time but it has generally been very reliable and I still love it. The reliability I put down to being the end of...

For some reason none of the switch warning lights (around the display screen) work (air con, heated seats etc). The screen itself is fine and the switches themselves work, but no warning lights. Have had the car 7 years and they have never worked and it hasn't bothered me before, but then the...

I want to recharge the air con but not sure which is low pressure fitting can someone tell me which one it is please - P38 2000 2.5 Diesel. Thanks

Water in the RH footwell, just checked and the inevitable heater o rings are leaking. I've changed blend motor before so I will use the shortcut method because my downward ducting is already cut through. reading the threads the biggest problem is likely to be loosening the screw of the o ring...

Morning Gents The Ext Temp Sensor (2000 P38 Diesel Auto) seems to have gone a bit do-lally. Looked at old threads without much help. Sometimes it's about correct, often much too high. It follows ploughing through floods in bonnie Scotland in November when it hit 36 with external temp...

P38. (continued from ealier thread). This is story so far: EAS compressor not working, car on bump stops (I'd lowered it down) With your advice, checked fuses and worked thro the RSWsolutions checks, couldn't get compressor to work, but overtemp sensor and Pressure sensor seemed ok Drove it...

Intermittently my P38 compressor (I think) will take an age to start pumping when starting the car after a lengthy stop. But evntually (2 or 3 miles) it does pump up. Today it will not pump at all. No warning messages, just the "entry" light on and the normal height level light flashing...

So what's wrong with the P38? Nothing much if you ask me (this week anyway). Just completed about 2000 faultless miles pulling the caravan to South of France and back and never missed a beat. Lots of other Brits towing with their shiny new BM's, Audi's etc, all at least 8 years newer...

Hello friends Off to France early tomorrow morning. Just doing last minute checks. Everything seems ok untill checked pollen filter - completely bunged up with leaves and debris. Obviously not been changed for ages - so much for service!). Why didn't I look before??!! Too late to do...

Morning Gents P38. This could be something and nothing. Noticed lots of clear water (not coolant) in passenger footwell. Looked under bonnet and the Air Con pipe that disappears into bulkhead passenger side was dripping with lots and lots of condensation and I guess this was what was in...

Morning everyone Searching the history of doing this little job, I see that one person says don't drain water out first, just improvise a cardboard funnel to direct any water into a bowl in the footwell when you break the seal of the o rings. This seems a good way to go to me - is this the...

Pleased with myself, changed Blend motor with instructions from Gav, took it for a spin. Book gone from Hevac, heater/air con all working. Got back home put all covers back just tightening screw in side cover and then.....DRIP. Oh no PLEASE, PLEASE make it the Air con drain bunged up. But...

This is stupid. Changing the Blend Motors. Going well thanks to Gav etc. Done the hard bit and removed the lower blend motor driver side. Just need to get to the plug and wiring behind Radio. My Radio needs two prongs along the top (not at the sides as some cars are). Slid prongs in...
