Hi Guys, I usually watch the Disco4 and formally the P38 areas but I'm helping my son with his TD5 110 and hope I can tap into the depth of knowledge and experience you have. The steering box is leaking and expecting the usual steering arm location I set myself up to do it. However on closer...

Although there are hints about it on other threads; the last few P38 diesels in 2001 and 2002, for some unobvious reason, had a different condenser installed. It’s basically the same width and has the same fan unit but is shorter at the bottom. This short condenser is matched by an engine oil...

Our P38's have a reputation of giving us things to do, some of these despite lots of guidance in various places on the interweb (thank you) aren't straight forward arm chair ride type jobs. Bucking the trend (and I know I'm tempting fate here) mine has been pretty reliable and the maintenance...

I’ve read in threads on here horror stories of stripping the oil cooler threads trying to get the oil cooler pipes off and didn’t fancy trying to get them off. I also didn't fancy buying hoses with a new cooler and taking the old one out. Mine have wept a little ever since I got the car. I took...

Uncharted terratory for me, I'm usually in the P38 forum (and had lots of good help there) but I'm trying to help a work colleague with a slippy Disco3. There's loads of info on sites, as well as this one, about slippy D3 clutches and resetting the XYZ sensor but the threads seem to major on...

Driving from the SW to Kent this week when it was honking down and a couple of funny things happened. Firstly it suddenly went really cold; thinking I was having a supernatural presence I hurridly scanned all the instruments for a sign and noticed the external air temperature was reading 34...

I'm heading towards needing to change the P38's discs and pads. Recently I did the same on my sons Z4 and they looked great through his spoked alloys with drilling & grooving plus the caliper picked out in red paint. However some months and much rain later, while the running surface is OK the...

Just finished struggling/learning to fit a new serpentine fan belt to my 2001 DHSE. I thought it may help others to describe how I ended up getting it on, a bit of a ‘how to’, cos it isn’t obvious and as usual you can’t see or get your hands in etc etc. Getting the...

Evening all, Just filled up, 86.75 litres cap to cap with 613 miles driven on a diesel P38A. About 500 motorway miles and the rest around town. A bit close to the bottom of the tank, the last 30 miles were done with the warning light on, RAVE says 90 litres capacity. About 32mpg according...
