Just a quick question whether vented disks on my Range Rover P38 DSE is worth it? I heard they could be a lot lighter which I would of thought any weight saving would be useful... Thanks

I've got the horrible task of changing my head gasket on the BMW 2.5 lump, reading Rave I can see the procedure need the timing chain tool kit (unfortunetly). However I wondered when I take the chain off the cam so I can get the head off should I make a note of what position it was in? I mean is...

I've got the BMW 2.5 lump which I need to take the head off but I've been worried among other things about the timing chain. Anyone have any tips to make the whole process seamless and I don't mess the chain up? Thanks!

I've been told my head gasket will need doing, after I had overheating issues. I come to take off the camshaft cover and find all the bolts loose. Not only that where the injectors are some have pools of oil. Ok I'm sure the bolts are not supposed to be loose but would this mean I would get the...

After a lot of messing with the cooling system my overheating problem turned out to be the head gasket, so my task is to change it. Looking at RAVE is useful but not always the best way I have found. Could anyone break down the steps I need to remove and refit? Thanks

When I'm taking off the tensioner shock absorber it's been ok, but putting it back on levering it into place caused one of the arms on the fulcrum to snap. I ordered a new one and levering it in position I snapped one of the arms again! Now the tensioner shock looks to be now leaking a bit so...

So I changed the clutch on my manual 2.5 DSE and obviously had the gearbox out (without breaking) gearbox from transfer box). Trouble is now I now can't select low range however before I had no problem. Any ideas what could have gone wrong? Thanks

I've got to replace my radiator and hoped I wouldn't have to remove the fan, but looks like I do. Now I have the diesel 2.5 and the information is a left hand thread. Just for sanity sake I should undo that in a clockwise direction?* I have tried but can't see what I can hold onto to stop it...

Hi, just replacing my radiator in my 2.5 DSE and first question is with the radiator drained is it worth me flushing the system with water to get any crap out? Second question, what is the recommended coolant and should I mix with water, is there any harm in 100% coolant? Thanks

So I need to change the gearbox oil and was hoping to use Texaco MTF 94, but the gearbox has the odd leak so I was wondering whether using something like 'Wynn's Gear Oil Treatment with Stop Leak' would make things better or worse? Any advice appreciated. Thanks

So just changed my clutch (gearbox on a jack) and was hoping to drive it, clutch nicely depressed I start it and realise I can't find any gears. The lever is lose with no apparent gears to select... Reading some threads it looks like the selector pin, however looking at RAVE I think I have...

So while taking my gearbox out I left the rubber seal around the top of the gearbox that attaches to the gearbox tunnel, and it got quite ripped. Anyone know where I can get a replacement, I've tried searching but can't find part number or official name... Thanks

So going through the fun of changing my clutch but before I pop the gearbox back on I wanted to pressurise the clutch system to make sure it works. Trouble is I'm struggling to get pressure to build up, now it, could be because my fluid is low so I will try topping it up tomorrow however I was...

Having to change my clutch and notice that there are various brands to choose from with varied prices. Two caught my eye, Valeo and AP Delphi, however AP Delphi is cheapest of all but do I compromise on build quality say thickness of clutch plate by going for the cheapest? Thought I'd ask the...

Hi, just replacing my clutch and when I took the rear prop off I noticed two things: 1 - The bolts on the drive shaft end were all loose (not tightened) 2 - When I got the prop off the bolts attached to the transfer box end were loose (wobbling) Anyone know why any of these might have been...

Had a P38 before and low range was smooth, I would have it in 1st and could happily accelerate and decelerate without a problem, however my current P38 DSE manual seems quite harsh when I decelerate or accelerate even when just tickling it. Any thought on why this is? I looked at a Discovery TD5...

Since I got my P38 DSE it has only been blowing hot air out even when I change the temperature down to low. I seem to be able to sometimes get the left handside to go cooler but right hand side is always hot. I read somewhere that this might just be the airflow not mixing correctly so could be a...

Fuel gauge tempermental ... Have a P38 2.5 DSE and ran out of fuel the other day after the gauge decided not to tell me I was low. Now since then I haven't been trusting it and also wanted to change the fuel filter last night because after running low assumed that changing it was a sensible...
