    Prospective Disco 3 buyer

    Hi, can any of you disco guys give me any advice on buying (or not) a disco 3. I'm currenly looking seriously at them after an interesting few years of Range Rover P38 ownership and its fascinating air suspension issues. Any thoughts would be appreciated Andy :)

    P38 eas pump not operating

    Hi, apologies to all, as usual I find myself only having the time to post when I or more specifically the P38 has problems. Anyway, its winter again and the Rangie has hit me with another eas problem although it has not to date gone to fault mode. I've checked through the forums but can't find...

    Radius arm removal

    Hi, Gonnae be changing the front radius arm bushes tomorrow. My question is, so long as I do the job with the front wheels on ramps and only remove then replace one radius arm at a time, will the air spring on the respective side give sufficient support to negate the need for using axle stands...

    Scheveningen - A warning

    Friends, I took my beloved P38 on its second continental trip to Holland last month and was privileged to visit the resort of Scheveningen just north of The Hague. I parked in the dunes car park at the north end of the town and on attempting to lock the car there was no response from the central...

    P38 eas valve block

    Hi, after taking a trip to eas hell last winter with my 97 P38, the old girl performed faultlessly all year including a 2000 mile trip from Dunfermline to Paris and back. Any way last week it showed a hard eas fault which I ran the software on and reset the system. The fault displayed was "RR...

    P38 rear shock bushes

    Can anyone recommend where I can get hold of an upper bush and bolt for the rear shock on a P38. There seems to be no end of lower ones or upper and lower kits for classics but it seems like my only option is replacing the shock which isn't expensive but seems a shame when the shock looks and...

    P38 manual gearbox and transfer box fluids

    I've searched for an answer to this but can't find what I'm after so I'd be real grateful if anyone can advise me what I should be filling the gearbox and transfer boxes with. I recently put Dexron III in both but the handbook says Dexron IId. Is there any difference in performance/viscosity...

    A Quick Plug

    Quick plug to say the service I got from symlise ebay shop is second to none and recommended.......and the compressor seals are pretty good too. System now running at full pressure which exposed the cursed leaky N/S/R airbag. Guess what I'm doing this weekend?

    Festive P38 suspension problem

    Hi and Happy Christmas. I've had a pretty much trouble free time with my '97 P38 since I got it last May but the day before it snowed at the end of November I got the (seemingly obligatory) suspension hard fault. This was easily cured with the EAS cable and software, the fault having been 'RR...

    Hello there! (and errr, help)

    Hi, I'm Andy and I stay in Fife with my '97 P38 Range Rover 2.5 DSE. I've owned the truck for about 6 months now and have largely enjoyed the experience, however, the EAS went wonky a couple of weeks ago (max 35 mph etc etc) which I cured yesterday with the reset software. It did take a couple...
