Hi All, MOT failed on P38 due to emissions. CO reading at 0.53 which is high but HC reading a whopping 1460!!! My local garage is great for MOTs but not equipped for a problem like this - any ideas?

Hi All, I seem to still have an on going problem with my P38A Rangey (4.6 HSE). It has done around 163000 miles and went in for an MOT at my local garage back in February of this year, and has remained there ever since. Everything checks out on the car and we have also done the diagnostics...

Hi All, I have had my P38 in storage for nearly two years due to what I thought was an issue with a piston misfire but turns out to be plugs/leads! Don't even go there!!! Oddly enough the car actually passed on everything else but failed on emissions which came as a surprise - 25% over the...

It must be a combination of the wet weather, driving through lots of rain etc but not green laning or anything like that but to the drivers side rear of my RR I have the most irritating squeak that is most audible when driving off a bumpy driveway or anything resembling putting pressure on the...

Hi all, I finally recovered my old trusty P38 after 18 months storage (kept her locked away as couldn't decide what to do with her at the time) and now need to get into the "system" to reset faults: suspension, windows etc as the whole thing has lost the electronic plot so to speak! I recall...

Hi All, I am thinking about getting a Defender mainly for local trips, occasional towing, dogs, transporting logs etc - a workhorse but also something clean and tidy if possible too. I already own a RR Supercharged V8 but use mainly for long trips/business, so this would be a project or...

Hi All, I think I know what could have happened, but had a rather annoying experience at lunchtime today merrily powering down the motorway in my RR 4.2 Supercharged V8 (6yrs old) only to find the power started to drop off and continue to the point where two messages came up, transmission...

Hi All, quick question - with the analogue tv signal no longer broadcasting and obviously a great facility built into my RR but now redundant, any thoughts on where/how to install free view receiver instead?

Hi All, Can someone possibly shed some light on a frustrating problem replacement windscreens? A few weeks back thanks to some poor driving by someone in front of me, a stone threw upwards and smashed my windscreen. Since then the supplier (a large national well recognised company) replaced...

Hi All, After my P38 failed due to engine issue, I boldly stepped up to the mark of a Range Rover 4.2S (55 plate supercharged model) which is absolutley wonderful to drive. However! On a lengthy drive yesterday, mainly motorway I had three "reduced engine performance" warnings, where power...

Hi all, We have just got back home from a nice day out with the family (travel time around 50 miles or so) in our usually very trusty 4.6HSE (162K miles) and on the final junction before arriving home I noticed a "chugging" noise coming from the engine. Best described and a mix I suppose of...

Hi All, I was driving my P38 Range Rover this morning and on exiting the vehicle I noticed the gap between the top of the tyre/rear offside wheel arch was higher than normal. Having adjusted the suspension up/down a few times this still seems to be the case which is a little weird as it...

Hi All, In past two days and maybe could be down to hot weather, my P38 petrol Range Rover (4.6HSE) seems to be failing to start on the odd occasion which it never ever has done until now. It occurred yesterday afternoon when getting back into car after having left warm for about an hour...

Hi All, One sunny weekend and a lingering problem of failing aircon finally gave out after 3 yrs of getting worse and worse. I know what the problem is, a new condenser and dryer needed but have been quoted a massive price by my very reputable and helpful local garage (they do all other work...

Hi All, Have limped along for past three years (to save money!) with below average airconditioning on my 1995 Range Rover P38 4.6HSE and now we are approaching summer 2010 think it's time to really get it sorted! Even when on "Low" setting the aircon effect can only best be desribed as...

Hi All, I recently purchased a recon transfer box for my P38 Range Rover saving a small fortune plus doing a deal to get a refund if I sent the old one back. Patting myself on the back for some ingenuity I then went to my local Landrover dealer and asked them to fit/carry out the work. At this...
