Folks, Sadly I don't have enough room to own a Disco 3 and a RR P38 so sadly the P38 will have to go. Where is considered the best place to sell P38s. Mine is a 1995 2.5 DSE which has served me well, and taken me to my 'retirement project' in France many times without incident. When I bought...

Matt, First off thanks for Microcat 2010 runs on my MacBook Pro with boot camp and Win XP with no problems. Now you asked if there was anything else... Any chance of a workshop manual for the Discovery 3? I have hunted high and low and can't find anything, even trying to buy a paper version as...

Mike, you 'can' get it remapped but as you have found out it isn't common place. If you scour the 'net' you'll find a company who can remap, but you will have to take the ECU out of it's plastic box, which certainly isn't difficult and send it to this company, I am trying to remember who or...

Ohh Mike yo aren't having much luck are you;-) The damper is available from Britcar (UK) Ltd and Island4x4.co.uk Guide price 23.50 plus P&P, hope that's not too expensive? Even available on Ebay! RANGE ROVER P38 2.5 BMW TD DIESEL BELT TENSIONER RAM on eBay (end time 28-Sep-10 09:51:32 BST) Ian

Hi Mike Sorry been away, and no email! Hard Wire is as you correctly assumed is make all the connections using solder. This gives you 100% reliability. And yes take it out if it's black box as inside the comfort of the ECU box it's well protected. You can of course wrap some push bike inner...

Pete As someone who has persevered and won with the valve block, don't give up! pop off to Ebay and buy yourself an 'O' ring kit, £28 or thereabounts. Also buy yourself the repair kit for the pump whilst you are there, the piston seal WILL be knackered. The motor in the pump is nearly bullet...

Mike My 2d worth, hard wire the 'hot start' fix and it fits nicely into the ECU box, so stays nice and dry! I can honestly say there is only one down side to it, and that's the higher than normal tickover for 30 secs or so. I have just learnt to be patient and wait until the speed drops down to...

Hi Mike Yes I did as that was old and rather hard, well it had done 14 years sterling service! Again I got the fuel pipe from GSF, guaranteed for diesel fuel! The non return valve wasn't pricey either, 8 quid if I recall. The whole caboodle cost less than £20 for both sizes of pipe, clips and...

Argh! I'm in France and I haven't tried ringing them. Thinking of France could it be that they are on holiday? August is a no-no here in France, businesses shut up shop and depart on their Vacances Annual, even big ones!

Exactly! What people forget is that the whole suspension on the P38 is designed around the airbags. If you change them to coil springs, then the ride is sh*t and is isn't very stable either, be warned. If you take the time and trouble to understand how the air suspension works and also are...

The ABS sensors are held in by a metal sleeve! This usually corrodes as is normal on a car that is encouraged to get mud on it! The ABS sensor is a fairly delicate device so be VERY careful as to how you get it out! Chances are you will wreck it and have to replace it, not cheap! You will need a...

What do people suggest as being the best way to avoid an airlock when renewing a fuel filter on the 2.5 DSE engine? The manual says use the LRT-12-117 tool which undoes the unions on the injectors, but they say on the FIP! Surely the air will be in the low pressure side and loosening the fuel...

Mike There is one more thing you can do. I replaced the spill pipes on mine as they had gone hard, the replacement pipe came from GSF (German Swedish French) and has been fine so far by the way. The additional thing I did, as starting hot or cold was becoming a problem and was recommended...

Many thanks J the range and Irishrover. I'm going to give Joe a call today and see if he can help. Ian.

Hi Irishrover, thanks for the idea, but I'm in France at the moment and there aren't many, if any, Range Rovers in the very few breakers around here! I have seen a complete loom on Ebay for around £45, but that is rather over the top for one connector! Any other thoughts, as the lamp holders...

Can anybody direct me to a web site that sells the electrical plugs used on Range Rovers. Specifically the female connector used on the reversing/rear fog light cluster, which on mine the reversing light blade has overheated at some point and doesn't connect reliably. So rather than fork out...

Andy, Not in stock - Well Sod's law always plays it's trump card at the precise moment doesn't it? The RSW software has a facility to let the air out, but as said this isn't strictly necessary just to do the pump but I would err on the 'safe' side though. I have just re-'O' ringed the valve...

Andy, Refurbishing the compressor is something I've just done! First, it does sound like your bearing has gone, but there are replacements available on fleabay! Buy the complete kit, it is very straightforward to do, just a bit fiddly in places, but nothing impossible. Arm yourself with a good...

German Swedish known as GSF because they've added French to the list! The engine is BMW M51 and you can get various bits for that engine from them, inlet manifold gaskets, glow plugs, leak off pipes are just 3 but beware some external parts on the engine are different on the Range Rover. Are...
