My 2001 P38a HEVAC display screen is having an off day. It shows a black screen when the car is started and sometimes comes back on after the car is driven a few miles. At other times it responds to tapping the screen. The screen seems to have a small amount of movement and pressing the edge...

I have a solar panel to mount in the P38 Boot. I plan to use the lighter socket which will have to be converted to be permanently live. I have read the various threads on this same subject which recommend the feed direct from the battery (+) terminal or connect to a Becm (+) screw terminal...

I'm having trouble with the gear change on my 2001 DHSE automatic. The gears won't change up. At about 3500 RPM the gear reluctantly changes up and the revs drop off but after the throttle is pressed the revs shoot up again. The gearbox is obviously running in low gear. Moving the gear lever...

My 2001 P38 diesel would'nt change gear and was only capable of 35MPH with the engine revving it's socks off. The Transmission Controller has failed. Trying to locate one to suit the vehicle it seems the system was changed in 1999 so earlier model units won't work properly. I've fitted a...

I need to replace the engine in my P38 Range Rover. Can anybody advise a good source for remanufactured engines. The existing engine has a cracked head. This is the second head to go and I'm not sure about the block, so believe that a replacement engine is best option.

I am not using the car too often and as a result the battery runs down (as they do! ). I have been told that a maintenance charger (Halfords advertise one @ £25) left connected to the battery on the car would resolve this problem. I am aware that charging the battery on the car is a no no...

On a short journey which involved climbing a steep long bank I had to pull over as steam was coming from the bonnet. At this point the temerature was still showing normal ie 11.00 O'clock. Lifting the lid... water everywhere and a big hole in the felt lining! The radiator had split along the...

I have had problems with the engine in my P38 which has blown a gasket, had a replacement re-engineered cylinder head and once again now has a suspected cracked head. I am now wondering what to do next. I could fit another head or replace the whole unit. Can anyone recommend a good supplier of...

A light has gone out on the computer screen in the instrument binnacle and reading the display is difficult due to this failure. I understand that there are three bulbs which light up the screen. I don't want to dismantle the dash consule until I have the replacement bulbs to hand can anybody...

I have recently noticed a small oil leak which is coming from the front of the car. Its light oil, not engine oil and after tracing the possible cause the only source seems to be from the air con condenser at the bottom corner. I,ve been told it could be the 'O' ring seals from the pipe or a...

I have a 2001 Range rover P38 fitted with a sat Nav. This system has worked well and although dated by modern systems, is a useful piece of kit to have in the car. I had been cleaning the car out with the doors open and this resulted in the battery going flat. Following the usual procedure...

Thinking of improving the interior of my P38 Range Rover with the use of some wood trim on the dashboard. This has been brought on by some marking of the exisiting trim during the replacement of the 'O' rings to the heater pipes. Dash panels having to be removed to gain access. Can anyone...
