So today’s the day for finally swapping out the ZF22 gearbox on my P38. So far so good. Prop shafts removed, crossmember and exhaust section removed. Multiplugs and selectors disconnected. About to attempt taking the transfer box and gearbox out in one, using engine crane and jack for...

Sitting in my garage currently is a reportedly good ZF transmission, ready to swap on to my 1999 2.5 DSE. Are there any tips from anyone who has done this, or prep I should do up front? I'll be swapping out on the driveway, so will be up on axle stands with some breeze blocks under the chassis...

Got the P38 back on my driveway, after being parked up elsewhere for well over a year. (Edit: it's a 1999 2.5 DSE) Currently showing Gearbox Fault on the dash, and no drive in any gear. I don't have diagnostics to hand, so will be looking at the obvious contenders first before considering a...

It's been a long while since I was on here - mostly on account of the P38 being parked up out of sight and out of mind for the past year or so. Anyhow, I took a trip over last week and she started up with the help of a fresh battery and no sign of any leaks, but no drive in forward or reverse...

So I've ordered myself a shiny new trailer. Given that I've got 13 pin electrics on my Amarok, I was planning to change the connector on my P38 to a new Euro plug to avoid messing around with adaptors. I only have 12-N plug on Range Rover currently. I know I can swap this for a 13 pin, and will...

Well today's the day for a job I've been putting off for a while. I may be some time....

These 20" wheels were on my P38 when I bought it, and have been taking up space in my garage for years since I took them off. Open to offers, will be going on eBay once I get round to taking some decent pics. Located in Staffordshire. I can throw in a set of wheel nuts and spigot rings if you...

I've had a can of plasti-kote satin black lying around which I bought ages ago for my P38 door handles, but started thinking about just spraying them java black instead. Has anyone done this? I was planning to rub the stripe detail flat, then plastic primer, regular primer, colour and clear...

What better way to spend a Bank Holiday Monday? Despite a nightly dose of PlusGas for the past week, front ABS sensor just didn't want to play nice. Reckon I'm almost there with this one, hope I can get the last of it out without removing the hub. Need to replace one of the rears after this as...

Does anyone have the part number or size of the top bolt for P38 shock absorbers? (1999 2.5 DSE) I was trying to change the bottom bushes, but sheared the stud when trying to get the nut off, despite wire-brushing and soaking in plus-gas overnight. Since I'm going to have to down tools until I...

I had my wheel arch liners off recently while doing a bit of preventative maintenance and, predictably, ended up drilling and grinding the 16 year old mudflaps off. A shiny new set wouldn't break the bank. Do they really offer much protection or are they just cosmetic on a car which never goes...

I've been doing a bit of preventative maintenance before the winter, and just fitted some new transmission oil cooler pipes when I noticed the sump has a bit of surface rust, probably down to me leaving the acoustic cover off last winter so it would have received a fair amount of salt spray. So...

May be sacrilege to some, but I had a test drive of the Evoque today, and have to say I rather like it. Won't be changing my P38, but as a car for the other half, it's currently leading the field out of the ones we were considering. Nice smooth ride, and didn't feel like it was short on...

Anyone know where I can get my hands on replacement Stainless Steel washers for the Master Cylinder (pictured)? There are a few threads on this, but having read through them, most end up at either dead links, or an email address for a guy in NZ (who hasn't replied so far). Has anyone done...

Anyone have experience of single phase plasma cutters? I have plentiful air supply and current (63A), so my only real limiting factor is only having single phase in my workshop. I'd love a Hypertherm machine, but I'm not sure the tool fairy would bring me anything that cost more than £1k...

Every now and then, my central locking doesn't work, and the engine is immobilised. When this happens, it has the following symptoms: The drivers door unlocks manually with the key or pulling the interior lock tab up. The central locking doesn't fire on any of the other 3 doors when you...

I was cleaning the interior at the weekend, and noticed a couple of drops of coolant on the carpet under the steering wheel (and I do literally mean a couple of drops, the carpet was bone dry). Made a mental note to myself that it would probably be worth replacing the heater core O rings if...

I'm all for having a bit of banter on the forums, and it's easy to take the **** out of someone who asks a stupid question - but regardless of how stupid the question may seem to seasoned landy owners, if it's a newbie asking, then they're probably hoping for a helpful answer amongst the banter...

Has anyone used Trackace or similar products for DIY wheel alignment? Trackace DIY laser wheel alignment tracking gauge. Poor wheel alignment wastes fuel, damages tyres & increases your CO2 emissions carbon emissions. I'm about to change my track rod and drag link, and always prefer to do...
