Hi, I've replaced my seat heaters by following what is on RR.net. You are quite right the hog rings are the only issues I faced. If I did it again I'd also get a new seat cushion for the drivers seat. After doing it I was given the following tip by a RR specialist and that was use...

Hi, Anyone had their subwoofer fail ? Any tips on diagnosising whether its failed or its a wiring/head unit problem would be much appreciated Cheers Tony 1998 4.6 HSE

This is the best place I've seen that describes how to fix the seats Heated Seat Repair Operations Just allow plenty of time as it took me much longer than expected Cheers Tony

Thanks for the reply I'll look at Microcat BTW Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, or PCV valve, is a one-way valve that ensures continual evacuation of gases from inside a gasoline internal combustion engine's crankcase Thanks Tony

Hi all, So first the confession, whilst tinkering I broke the plastic tee piece from the PCV filter to the plennum :doh: No problem I thought, I'll order a replacement. So off to Rave, but I could not even find the part :confused: Where next, search the web no luck :mad: Last port of...

All, I've a 98 4.6 v8 a small oil leak (no surprise there then) when looking into this oil leak I've found the oil is leaking from the breather on the passenger side rocker cover where the rubber pipe connects to the breather. Upon dismanteling I found a small metal pipe connects rubber pipe...

Thanks lanmjdun for the tips. Regards Tony

hi all, Just been reading the steps posted here Brake Job Range Rover 4.0/4.6 on changing disks in preparation for doing this on my P38. The only thing that concerns me is removing the disk securing screw as I could see this being a real pain in the neck. So my question is for those of you who...

Thanks for the advice. Any idea how I can check for overcharging myself ?

Hi, I wonder if any of you suffer from the same issue. Basically my battery seem to weep battery fluid and I'm not sure what causes this and also if I should worry ? The battery is less than a year old and holds charge fine. It is definitely battery fluid that is leaking as its caused a...

Hi, Anyone fitted a tow bar to their P38 ? If so any hints and tips around how long it takes. Also on the assumption you did not buy the genunine part who is the best supplier ? Thanks in advance of your help. Tony

Hi, I've been suffering from idle curiosity for a while now and have been wondering if anyone has fitted any of the more powerful BMW diesel engines to their P38s. Basically I was just thinking it might make an interesting wolf in sheeps clothing. Anyone had any experience of this ? Cheers Tony

Hi All, When I replaced the heater elements on my 4.6 hse I followed the instructions from Heated Seat Repair on Range Rover 4.0/4.6 They are pretty comprehensive, but it did take me much longer than expected. Biggest thing to be aware of is that refitting of the leather to the seat base was...

Thanks for all the comments. So one final question Rimmerbros list two parts. Up to VIN XA (1999) Cushion - (2) - HGL000050 VIN YA (2000) on Cushion - (2) - HGL000040 Interestingly I've been told is only the latter that has the fix, does anyone know if this is a true or just a rumour ? The...

Hi, Anyone know what the overfinch prices are like for an engine change ? Cheers Tony

Hi, I've just been told my Range Rover 4.6 needs a new head gasket. A mere £1300 from my Land Rover dealer. They also state the cause may be the block has gone porous, but 6 months ago it was checked for this and found to be fine. So my question is what is a resonable price for this work...

Hi all, I'm interested in knowing if any of you have a managed to do an LPG conversion on a P38 (mine is a 4.6 HSE on a 99 plate) that does not either use the spare wheel well (2 punctures in the last year) or sit in the boot. I know that for both defenders and discos you can fit underslung...

Thanks for the reply, anyone changed one themselves and know how difficult/long it takes ? Interestingly and perhaps obviously enough the door not locking cause the battery to drain as the alarm keeps waking up. Guess it needs to get fixed.

I was wondering if any of you have come across the problem where one of the doors (in my case the front passenger one) does not lock when the central locking is locked. It can be locked/unlocked manually (button on the door), but I'm not sure what I should be checking to to see if I can correct...
