Hi all – northumbrian numpty here again! I know overheating p38’s have been done to death, reincarnated and done to death again more times than anything else but just wondering if anyone can point to what im missing! Ive a 1995 4.0 petrol with multipoint lpg – it has done around 200k When...

190 odd thousand, I got it from my father in law who left it in the garage 6 years prior to me getting it so I think ive redressed the balance!

Fairly pointless post but just curious as to how many miles you all do a year in your p38's - My 1995 4.0 on LPG was in for its MOT yesterday (Passed straight through thank the lord) and the mechanic commented that hes never known anyone do the mileage I do in one, 43K since last years MOT and...

yes it did, Had to do the door key dance to reset imobiliser after having the battery off but it started first time and theres no battery light on anymore, drove 60 miles to work this morning and it appeared normal so trying not to jinx it but seems to be ok! Im pleased he showed me how to...

Just an update and a thankyou, part arrived from Emmotts within 24 hours (£50 isnt bad for an alternator so a bit relieved) followed the AA mans instructios to fit and it only took me half an hour - thats the first time ive fixed anything myself without a hammer! thanks for all the advice re...

AA just been, really helpful and arranged uplift to take us home tonight. He tested and said no charge at all from alternator and not safe to drive it - was reading 11.something on his multimeter. He talked me through how to change it too for when the new one arrives including advising doing...

Hi all - northern numpty again. Range rover P38 1995 4.0 with LPG On driving to work this morning the battery light flickered on and of a few times then got the beep of doom on the message centre saying Alternator Fault and a steady battery symbol. I turned off the radio and side lights and...

Many thanks to all for the replies - much appreciated, will have a good look at the weekend.

Hi all its the northumbrian numpty again. I have a 1995 4.0 P38 Petrol with lpg (BRC Multipoint) - a new noise has appeared and its making my wallet nervous! Its mainly a dull whine that occaisionaly becomes high pitched then goes back to a dull hum/whine, its hard to tell but I think its...

sorry, I didnt realise it made a difference :fish:, its a 1995, 4.0 petrol with BRC LPG conversion. Thanks

Hi, just wondering if there is anyone in Newcastle/northumberland with access to a fault reset gizmo? Need to get the airbag light turned off, It came on when the battery drained and so im hoping after reading various posts on here it just needs a reset. Beer tokens are obviously available in...

Pleased i saw this - just ordered mine off rstlandrovers ebay shop this morning- 9 quid a pair including postage. Had to walk away from it this morning before i had a Basil Fawlty moment and Thrashed it for tw@ting me on the head again - only does it when its cold but i figure 9 quid is...

thanks all really appreciate the ideas - job for sunday morning i think!

hi - it doesnt have a sun roof either - it must be a special edition think it must have been called ' the minimalist' ;-) as it has very little! it does about 200 miles a day often 6 days a week (thank god for lpg)and has behaved 'almost' impecably since i got her in feb so im thinking the less...

Hi all northern numpty back again in the hope he can learn something else! P38 4.0 1995 RR Decided to give her a muck out (i use her everyday for work) and when i lifted the mats the Drivers side footwell carpet is soaked - i had heard about o rings but it only appeard to be wet in front of...

ive got a 4.0 P38 with bec multi point lpg and I get about that - I use the car every day, dont use sport mode and have a light foot, if I was driving harder it would be much less im sure but 200 miles on forty quid is def possible if you drive like you have all day to get there!

MrGorsky, Thanks i have a receipt in the logbook paperwork for nearly 4K for the system so assume it was a good one when fitted so will find the codes to get the model and ask there. Rasheed, the garage i always use are brilliant and very honest, I took it as I thought it was the thermostat...

Hi all, think ive got to the root of the spontaneous volcanic eruptions of coolant air locks on the 4.0 v8 - took it to the friendly local garage to have the thermostat changed and they told me to drive it on petrol only first and see if it happend, it didnt so they have suggested i get the...
