Hiya, I have a 1998 2.5DSE and no matter what the outside temperature is when you start up it always reads 0oc for about 5 minutes after which it slowly creeps up to the correct temperature. I have already replaced the external temp sensor and it made no difference. It's not a major...

Ive just taken it round the block and run it through the different heights again and there is still a difference but only about 2-3cm now. I guess the height sensors may need calibrating if thats possible?

Hiya, Ive not had my Range Rover long but ive just notice the the n/s/f suspension seems a little low comapred to the rest of the wheels. On the normal setting its about 5cm lower than the o/s/f and remains about 5cm lower through the height range. The system is all working OK and pumps...

£1700 buys you a cheap usually very high mileage P38 which probably needs the same amount again if not more spending on it. I have just bought a 2.5DSE and it's not as badly underpowered as some people suggest but it can be noticably sluggish in certain situations especially with the auto box...

Why do you need to leave the ignition on with the lights for 15 mins? 30 Amps sounds about right with the headlamps and ignition on position 2 (both heater motors will probably be going aswell).

The battery terminals should be tight, you should not be able to twist them. If they are as tight as the nut will go try loosening the bolt tap the terminal on a little further and re-tighten. As for the cooling system what you describe sounds fine. the system is made to run under pressure...

I replaced the n/s/f airspring, swapped the wheels front to rear, checked the brakes, fitted a hot start timer relay gizmo thingy from ebay, added some fuel injection cleaner and slick 50, took out the ignition barrell lubed it up and refitted it, cleaned it then went for a drive :)

how high did the temperature go up before you put your foot on the gas pedal and it came down again?

Thanks for the advice it was easy peasy to do ;)

Hiya, I need to replace my front airsprings and was going to give it a go myself. Does anyone know of a link showing how to replace them. Thanks

I might give the tape thing a go as I already have an FM transmitter and it's rubbish. Not sure I want to do away with the original head unit unless I can find something thats compatible with the steering controls and cd multichanger.

Hiya, I have a 1999 2.5DSE with a standard head unit PRC7618. It has Harman Kardon speakers and a CD multichanger. I was just wondering if anyone knows how I can connect up an I-Pod to it. I pulled the stereo forward and it has no aux in connections. Any ideas? Thanks

Hiya, I have just bought a 1998 P38 2.5DSE after having searched the classifieds for a few weeks. To be honest my budget of £3000 was a bit low to be finding a minter and I looked at a few real dogs before buying this one. It is high mileage at 162K which really put me off it to begin with but...

Sorry forgot to mention it is an auto.

Hiya, Just wondered what fuel consumption people are getting on a P38 2.5's Ive not had mine long but average around town has been 18mpg. I thought it may be in part due to it being long overdue a decent service which I've just done but it's still not much better now. The car seems to...

Just an update Ive just fixed the fault. All I did was disconnect the battery for 30 seconds and reconnected it and everything works as it should. Disconnecting the battery did set off the alarm though so be prepared for the noise. Just be carefull to make sure the car is unlocked, alarm is not...

tommo138 I have exactly the same problem with my range rover. Interior lights are switched on as shown on the info display, door switches are working, all bulbs are ok, all fuses ok and puddle lights work but no interior lights. All the bulbs have a live feed they are just missing the switched...
