Hi chaps! Whilst home for the weekend I'm driving my parents to a party (yes I've reached that stage in post teenage life...) And wonder why their 2001 4.0 THOR p38 is SO SLOW... Speculatively unplugged the MAF sensor after getting home and voilà back to full power, so hopefully that's all...

Hi Chaps, Driving home (for Christmas...) no, from the pub (just food ;) ) in the pouring rain and puddles when... flop.. no revs above ~1500 regardless of throttle position. Tootled into a siding and checked under bonnet where there was a mild smell like a burnt firework and some water...

Hi Chaps, My dad's 4.0 2001 P38 is in the garage at the moment after he broke the overflow pipe putting the new battery in... Anyhow, given that it was due for its service anyway apparently it's had an oil change and he gave me a call asking if anything else should be done. I have proposed the...

Hi Chaps, As avid readers of my posts will know, I have a little boat (and hence a Range Rover). Today we went out from Putney slipway which is liable to flooding at high tide. In the knowledge of this I parked up on the road well away from the slipway, and went off for a lovely trip. Then...

Hi chaps! So, as some of you may remember just under 2 years ago I sold my P38 DHSE as being a student I didn't spend enough time at home to look after her. If anyone's interested I'm about to start my 4th and final year, am doing well and still having a great time :) But... I went to help...

Just had 2 cars, a Clio and an X-Type (both 10 years old) fail MOTs between them on worn bearings, smoke emissions, rust, suspension and breaks... neither on more than 60k miles. Harking back a year to when my old P38 sailed through with just an advisory... :) I think this is most...

Not sure if this has been on here before, but I found it very interesting to see where water can penetrate! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpY6mdP2aRE

Just discovered this snippet of footage of Clarkson economy testing a 4.0 back in the 90s. 3 things to take from this: 1) the figure it produces.. 2) the price of the petrol! 3) the number on the odometer; they were young once Clarkson's Car Years - Family Car 2000 - YouTube

Hi chaps, With the departure of my P38, I have no further reason to keep a set of front air bags and light clusters that I had stored for the inevitable! They've all been kept in a dry garage since purchase. As such, if anyone would like either of these for a reasonable discount from...

Farewell chaps, After a year and a half with my P38, the nature of student life has persuaded me to sell her on to a new home, to which she left for this morning. I think that home will be a good one, and she will receive far more attention than I can give her with only being at home for half...

Hi chaps, DHSE: Driving home tonight, stopped at a light, and the engine wibbled around 800-1200rpm (normally absolutely steady on ~900). Started moving again as soon as it started and was fine for a few miles, then did it again (again at lights). Fine fine fine fine, got to stopped to...

Hi chaps, Part of 96k service is to replace fuel filter - it looks like an easy job according to rave, apart from one bit: Refit 4. Ensure mating faces are clean. 5. Lubricate seal on new filter with clean diesel fuel. 6. Fit filter to filter head. Tighten securely by hand. 7. Remove...

Hi Chaps, P38 is currently on 95996.7 miles - should the service light flick on at 96k, or will it go on x miles after it was previously serviced? Thanks :)

LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER P38 4.0 V8 AUTO BREAKING DSE HSE DHSE SPORT | eBay If all it has are a couple of electrical faults.. Although since the seller doesn't seem to have a clue what sort of car it is from the title, I hesitate as to the accuracy of the description..

As stated, very simple question, but I cannot find this! Does the handbrake clamp the rear wheels, or do something with the transmission? Sorry for asking the possible obvious!

Hi chaps, I've discovered 2 plugs which seemingly don't go anywhere on sides of the bonnet (pic attached). Someone suggested, and RAVE seems to confirm, that they are the power supply for the heated front windscreen? If this is the case, since they clearly aren't attached, should I be...

Hi chaps, I've just replaced the lights behind my message centre display, and whilst I had the instrument panel out I read all the little notes for the bulbs (queue in shop :P ) One of them said "cruise", and had a bulb that wasn't blown, but I have never seen a cruise control related light...

All the problems come at once it seems! I have a pipe that appears to be leaking oil, which I discovered whilst looking for the air con compressor. I've cleaned up most of the oil and it seems to be stemming from a fluid pipe. I topped up the engine oil as it was too low, so I'm guessing...

So I got home, and got a beep from the dash: EAS fault. No problem - whipped out the software, and powered it up. Read faults, got some sensor faults, and vehicle has moved fault. Double clicked "Unlock EAS" and powered down. Still problem, so powered up again... and this happened: 0 : FL...
