As much as i love this site, I thought I had finally fixed my problem so I didnt have to come on here everyday searching for answers..:doh: Anyway, 2.5 DSE, auto. Had problems with it overheating under load about a month ago. Found the viscous coupling to be knackered, so decided to overhaul...

Right, very short question, when a timed hot fix is fitted to the 2.5 dse, does it make the original glow plug relay redundant, ie its no longer used. So if I have fitted the kit and the original glow plug relay is broken, doesnt work, will the new kit act in its place and heat the plugs, or...

2.5 DSE auto In theory could you replace the timed relay for the glow plugs with a standard relay wired to a switch on the dash? Would this also eliminate the temp sensor for the glow plugs that stop them heating when the engine is hot, or is it on difference circuit? I understand its a...

I must post more problems with my crap car than anyone else on this whole forum :doh: Anyway, I thought I had fixed my overheat problem. I stopped the leak, and realised the viscous fan was not performing at its best, and the A/C fans never ever came on no matter how hot the car got, so with...

1996 2.5 DSE auto Right, thanks all for the advice given, great help. I have since sorted the small leak I had BUT..... I have since done a lot of research and have realised my car NEVER, and I mean never no matter how much thrashing or driving, overheats under normal driving. But as soon as...

Another question. Can the head gasket be failing if there is no water/coolant in the oil at all? And there is a leak of water/coolant from what appears the top of the block when the engine hasnt been run and is stationary? My car never over heats on short journeys, and as long as I top up the...

Right so I tried to locate the source of my leaking, it leaks coolant/water down the left side of the gearbox (looking from the front) near the rear of the engine. Leaks a lot more with a heavy driving attitude, leaks slowly if driving sensible. Leaks when stationary, if driving sensibly and...

Hi all, can anyone tell me what this is please? (p38 2.5 DSE auto 1996) It sit on what looks like front of the gearbox, next to the exhaust. (sorry for the low quality pics, taken under the car) Looks a little worse for where, with a few splits in the rubber, just wondered...

Well im back, another problem. will try and give us as much info as possible to help (2.5 DSE auto 1996) I have some serious overheating problems, to begin with it needed the tank topping up every week and it didnt seem to be dropping a lot. I parked it up for two days and noticed a medium...

Ive always loved the bowler wildcat and tomcat, what an amazing machine, I know its based on the defender, and the bowler Nemesis which is based on 06 onwards range rover, and finally Ive found a bowler based on the range rover classic, but I was wondering, has anyone ever used a P38 for a...

Sorry to start yet another remote central locking thread but I need some advice, and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer in other threads. Problem was drivers door would not lock or unlock with remote central locking, (so all the times I had wandered off thinking my car and contents...

Hi all, So I'm slowly going through all the problems of my p38 (bought yesterday), im tackling the sidelight first, I've had the front LH sidelight bulb fault on the display so went to check it, and it was unplugged, as soon as I plugged it back in it started flashing, doesn't matter if the...
