Hi, I recently got my 1993 classic LSE back on the road. it ran well for a few journeys but has now the engine has started to cut out at a certain rpm. As I accelerate it will rev up to 1800 rpm but then instantly drops to 1000rpm. it will do this very consistently and makes pulling away quite...

Hi, i have an LSE classic with ABS fitted and i'm trying to get the brakes to work. The pedal is firm but there is very little stopping power unless you pump the brake pedal. The ABS pump didnt seem to be running so i took it apart to clean the filter inside and then re-assembled it. The pump...

I will shortly be advertising my trusty diesel p38 for sale and thought i would post it here before trying gumtree or ebay. Its a 2001 dhse in oslo blue with cream oxford leather. 119k miles, vgc and set of almost new general grabber UHP tyres. Top spec including sat nav and plus all usual hse...

After 7 blissful years of P38 ownership, I cheated on the old girl today and have gone and bought a disco 3. The P38 will soon be going to a new home and I hope the new owner will enjoy it as much as we have. It only let me down once in 65k miles and has been a superb vehicle. We even used it...

i'm having real trouble with the nut/bolt that holds the viscous fan to the water pump. i've read every post i can find but still not entirely sure that i'm hitting the spanner the right way?? i've got a viscous fan spanner on it and hit it with a hammer - left to right (when looking at the...

hello folks, i'm thinking of trading down from a p38 DHSE to a disco 3. i've had a disco for a test drive and it seems quite a nice drive. i use the p38 mostly on road and the disco 3 seems equally capable. it also has 7 proper seats. anyone think this is a good move - or complete lunacy? my p38...

folks, i've had the dodgy 'bouncing' central locking for several years and the motor in the drivers door lock has been making strange noises. so i decided to replace the lock mechanism. found a good deal on a new one and have fitted it to the car. only then did i realise the wiring connectors...

This morning, when i started my DHSE, the dreaded book and exclamation mark symbols appeared on the HEVAC display. the footwell air was cold and the windscreen air hot (with the temp set hot). then after about a 1/2 hour journey, next time i started the car, everything was fine and the book and...

Hi, does anyone know why my p38 might be blowing tail light bulbs all the time? cheers

Hi, very sad to say but i'm thinking of selling my p38. its a 2001(Y) DHSE in oslo with all the extra's - including sat nav, colour coded bumpers and all the usual toys. mileage is 82K my question is - what does anyone think its worth? thanks Will

Hi, the tailgate lock on my p38 dhse is playing up. mostly it works fine but sometimes it wont open. nothing at all happens when i press the button. last week i also replaced the drivers door cable that connects the inside handle to the lock mechanism. i've read some threads about this and its...

Hi, just went out to the supermarket (to buy nappies) and couldn't get out. when i pulled the door opener it felt a bit weird as if something broke. now it feels like the inside handle is not connected to anything. i opened the window and used the outside door which was fine. anyone know what...

Hi folks, On the P38, DHSE, does anyone know if it is possible to dissable the front passenger airbag for the purposes of fitting a baby seat? cheers

had a breakdown yesterday on my DHSE and wanted to let everyone know as this might be something to look out for. Basically, the power steering return hose back to the reservoir was rubbing against a pulley on the auxiliary belt. this quickly wore through and drained the power steering system...

has anyone fitted one of these hands free kits to a harmon kardon stereo? i have bought one and also have the 'soundlinx' mute cable. i'm not great with electrics and there's a lot of wires. don't suppose anyones got an 'idiotproof' guide on this procedure? cheers

Yet again my rear caliper is binding on one side - this time its the drivers side. i seem to be forever greasing slider pins and working pistons in and out. anyway, i think i broke something this time. i took the pads out and with a piece of wood in the caliper, i started the engine, opened lid...

Hi, after my previous post on starting problems i have now got into more trouble. this morning (-10 again) the DHSE would not start. after trying the diesel warmers a few times, the battery was soon flat. during the cranking cycles various messages appeared - start engine, traction failed, etc...

Hi folks, when i left home this morning the temperature was -9 degree C. the DHSe took quite a bit of starting and in fact i thought i was going to be stuck. i don't have a garage so the car has to suffer the cold Aberdeenshire nights. Does anyone know of a fuel additive or similar to help...

Hi, I'm having brake trouble with my 2001 DHSE. The calipers seem to be binding on the discs. First it was the rear drivers side, now its the rear passenger side. Can anyone tell me if this is common in P38's (or land rovers in general) At the moment the effects are a really nasty smell...

Quick question - and probably one that has been asked many times before! Is setting wheel alignment on a P38 just like a car - eg can kwik fit type places be reasonably expected to do this job? thanks in advance Will
