Hi Guys.. I have a headlining issue...but its not like the other posts about the actual lining fabric sagging. Mine seams to the be whole unit itself not just the fabric. I have water (relatively small amounts) making its way in from the front drivers A-piler top (I have roof bars so was...

To save myself a few quid (as I don't have many of them) - I'm on the lookout for the above parts to replace as a unit... that way I wont be spending out on labour to replace both on separate occasions. I may stretch to a new torque converter as it is an internal component. I'm looking for...

Thought I'd put some ideas out there and see if anyone has any pics of similar mods done etc so I can learn how to do what I'm wanting to. I know some will think pointless and over the top, but I want to sort the vehicle out so I can go anywhere and do anything with it, without having the all...

Hi Guys... It looks like the old girl is fixed on keeping me on the forum. Went for a run yesterday (about 80miles) and at about 75miles I noticed something she has never done before; When coming to a halt (example a roundabout), she will jolt as she changes down into 1st gear. It feels the...

Hi guys.... I have a 97 Auto DSE p38. I'll try and be as short as I can whilst providing as much info as possible. This is the second time this has happened, and both times I don't really know how IT or I fixed it... but I want to find out what the fault is so I don't get stuck or get the...

Hi guys, Its been a while since I posted last (I knew things where too good to be true)... Sent the old girl for an MOT and she failed on the following: 1) Pads worn (not bad I thought - normal) 2) Front wheel bearing excessive play (oh **** I thought - but ok they go) 3) Rear brake pipes...

Hi guys, Although I have done a search. I still can't find an answer so having to post.... sorry for the stupid questions that follows but I'm just about to do my first ever service and just need a nudge in the right direction: I've got myself a filter kit and checked RAVE CD regarding service...

May well be a stupid question... but what height is the brake pedal in my P38 DSE (97) supposed to be? My pedal is a lot higher than the accelerator (I can almost get my foot sideways from the accelerator under the brake pedal)... I often (in boots) catch the pedal when moving from accelerator...

I know it sound trivial... But I keep getting a fault on the dash telling me that the PX side reverse lamp is not working. And it doesn't. I've replaced the bulb, swapped it over with the one on the Drivers side (which works) and even switched the bulb cradle over... still nothing. I did...

Guys... I Seam to be a serial poster now I have a P38..:( I've recently fitted a Hot fix (off ebay). Connected it to a blue/grey trace to ECU (I did find three blue traces. One with Brown, one with Grey and one with white)... does that make sence? I used the Blue/grey as per instuctions...

Hi guys... After all the issues I've been avaing with LPG - I've gone Derv. I have a P38 DSE 97'' Auto. She has developed two faults at the same time so don't know if connected. 1) EAS fault. Stuck in High. Dash and lights showed fault whilst driving along. Fuse and relay are fine. No sign...

Guys... 1997 P38 V8 4.6 on LPG. Used about `lit of water running up from London (300miles). Temp is bang on centre, heaters work well both hot and cold. 128K miles, slight tapping from left hand side of engine (looking from the front to be back). Any ideas?

Guys, I find myself once again needing help. Why I buy these bloody vehicles I don't know. Nothing but problems. Just got myself a P38 (lovely looking) 4.6 HSE Auto LPG BUT!!! She stalls / cuts out as soon as you change to LPG. As soon as you touch the switch she changes over, revs drop...

Hi guys. SORRY ABOUT THE LONG POST..... I can't find another thread to answer my issues... and yes I've done a search and read for hours.... but all other seams just a little off topic for what I think I'm experiencing. Here goes; 1) RR went in for an MOT Spe 09 with slightly high Idle but...

Hi Guys and Girls, MOT time, so replaced a drained bat (poor condition old bat plus cold nights). Then found that the Key fob (twin button model) had stopped working so reverted to using the key to unlock and lock the car (1995 'N' Tdi disco 300). Never thought of checking the immobiliser so...

Hi guys, I've just started testing my new disco, and found that although I can switch between Hi and Low ratio (with a strugle), I can't for life of me get the lever to shift sideways and lock the diff, no light and no movment. any ideas? I've found a lot of posts regarding the other side...

Hi, Just got myself a 95 300 tdi discovery auto with A/T's, jackable sills and diff guard. Have never been offroad before, and am looking for a tame(ish) greenlane trip. I'm open to a camp (rough camp under a basher will do me) - but don't fancy a lane chase or a long trip down to South...
