Does anyone have any advice on fitting axle oil seals to a P38? I've had three attempts now and one side is still leaking. The oil seal wasn't originally leaking but I removed the hub/driveshaft for something else and decided to replace the seals which turned out to be a bad idea. I'm basically...

I recently replaced my front height sensors after I got a fault code from one of them, after replacing them I calibrated the system using some blocks I made. The front left and right sensor seems to have a massive difference between them, I've attached a picture of the Nanocom showing the...

Hi all, Car is a '95 P38 4.6, when the throttle is released the car seems to jerk sometimes once sometimes twice. It seems to only do this in the range 40-60mph so I based on that I think it's when the torque converter is locked. When doing around 65-70mph+ it doesn't jerk when the throttle is...

Hi, My P38 vibrates through the floor around 70-90. The car hit a curb at quite high speed a while ago which popped a tyre and ever since then it's vibrated. It seems to be worst at 80. The vibration doesn't come through the steering wheel just through the floor. I've changed the props with new...

Hi, I'm getting the following code from my HEVAC: "(32) Compressor clutch control circuit open or short to ground" This only appeared after I removed the engine to rebuild it. I didn't have to de pressurise the air con to remove it only move the compressor to one side. I have the earlier...

I've been having some problems with my starter recently in my 1995 4.6 P38. Sometimes when trying to start it it would just make a single click sound as in a flat battery, if I held the key in position 3 after about 3 seconds the dash would dim and it would start. I could also just release the...

Every time I reverse with full lock on I get a single knock when the car starts to move. It sounds like it's coming from the rear of the car. If I reverse in a straight line I don't hear the sound. It's not the sound of the slack in the drive train being taken up when reverse is selected but it...

My battery has been gradually getting flatter over the last couple of days (I could tell from the dash getting dimmer when cranking). Today it was flat enough for it not to start even after a relatively long drive yesterday. I've got the latest RF receiver and haven't had any issues with the...

Today since it was hot I left the car idling in Tesco car park with the air con on since my girlfriend and the dog were in the car. When I got back the temperature gauge was slightly past 12o'clock. It's never been anywhere past 12 before. As soon as I got back in and drove off it went back to...

Can someone with twin rear exhausts do me a favour? I've just swapped my single rear exhaust for a twin rear exhaust and now the brake lines are pretty close to the exhaust. Has anyone else swapped a single exhaust to a twin exhaust, if so how did you deal with the brake lines? Alternatively...

My EAS pump is running constantly, if I open the door to stop height changes and allow it to fill the tank it will keep running for more than 10 minutes (Not sure how long it takes I usually get bored by that amount of time). I took the blue pipe off and I can block off the air flow using my...

A while ago I changed the cats because mine were rattling a lot. The new cats touch the crossmember/gearbox mount where the two pipes join into one. It now vibrates a bit and makes an annoying sound on idle. I've attached a photo showing where it hits the crossmember. I've put some exhaust wrap...

When my P38 is stopped idling the front suspension is constantly adjusting and not just sitting level. It rises up (which causes the compressor to come on) then stops and about 5 seconds later it goes back down again. Then another 5 seconds later it will go back up causing the compressor to be...

Hi all, The ride in my P38 feels pretty bad on anything but the smoothest of roads. I understand it's not going to be brilliant but the way some members seem to praise the ride of it must mean I have something wrong with mine. I've changed the shocks with new terrafirma ones from Island 4x4 (I...

While having a look at the faults on my HEVAC I was looking at the live data for the engine and noticed my intake air temperature sensor was reading 30 degrees. I left the car to cool down to check the sensor when cold and it was reading 26 degrees. My car is a 1995 4.0 with a GEMS ECU. I've...

I got the air conditioning recharged around July and it worked but gradually the effectiveness got worse so I obviously have a leak somewhere. I'm guessing condenser but I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet. The air conditioning now still operates but I get a constant hissing sound when...

I took my 1995 4.0 for it's MOT yesterday and at the time it was running on petrol, the tester has obviously noticed the LPG system and performed an LPG test which means it's the non CAT test. Since it was the non CAT test even though it was running on petrol at the time. The results though...

I've just been draining the coolant on my 4.0 P38 by following the procedure in rave but something doesn't seem right. I only got around 2 litres out of the radiator drain plug even though rave says the cooling system holds 11.3 litres. I'd expect it to be slightly less than that but surely not...

I've got a Tartarini LPG system on my 1995 4.0 Range Rover P38, I only just bought the car recently so I have no idea what's wrong with it or who installed it or if it's ever been serviced. When switching to LPG when the car is warm the light flashes and when the LPG light goes solid the car...
