Hi all, the oil getting into the air system has reached a point where I cannot ignore it anymore. I have a spare turbo but that also has play and shows oil ingress. Given the age of this model I am assuming that all turbos are now worn so do not want to risk getting another used turbo. Can...

I need some guidance. Yesterday I was driving around doing chores did a couple of stops to shop without a problem. Went to the local supermarket and spent 10 mins in there came out to a dead battery. Got a jump start, drove it home, took 5 mins and turned it off. Tried it and car would not...

Hi all, long time no speak. I am looking for your opinion on a problem I have with my Diesel. About a week and a half ago my Rangie suddenly became difficult to start. Lots of cranking until a cylinder or two start to catch then carry on until the revs pick up. I have assumed that the glow...

Can someone tell me where part 22 goes in the diagram below? It fell into the door space so did not see where it came from. I do not like it when I have parts left over but it is usually the case!

I have a general question regarding the wiring of the autodim rear view mirror. I need to replace my cracked windscreen due to it being MOT time, it currently has the earlier fitting type. I also have a rear view mirror on hand that has the later fitting. If I replace my windscreen with one...

I have been through the old posts but don't think this is the same issue. My drivers side door handle has stopped working but operates as normal. I became worse over time where it would take a number of attempts to get it to open the door. Now it just moves but does not cause the latch to unlock.

Last night I lowered my drivers side window and the glass has come loose. I have not done anything yet so assume that the glass has come away from the runner. I can hear it operating when trying to raise or lower. I don't recall seeing this issue in any thread before. So any hints and tips...

And discuss!

My mom is visiting and she is struggling to get in and out of the P38. I have a set of side steps so think I might put them on while she is here and just want to get this right. Will ordinary bolts and nylocks suffice to hold the side steps in place or do I need something fancy? I looked at...

Hi all, how does the headlight wiper arm comes off as mine is stuck fast after removing the nut under the cover of the arm? Does it pull straight off or does it unscrew? Don't want to do anything that will break the arm as I usually do.

My front propshaft has failed, managed to find the problem before it let go. I am looking for a replacement and ebay sellers are saying that they fit all models. I know that is not true so how can I check that I have the correct part if I buy from one of these scrappers?

Hi all. a few months ago I cleaned my window switch pack as a window was not moving. All was well after taking off the black switch caps and covering the switch pack in electrical contact cleaner. Now all but one window is not working. Am I missing a step in cleaning the switch pack? The...

Hi there all, I need pointing in the right direction. Car was difficult starting last night and 1/4 mile later it gave out whilst driving. when the engine stopped I put it into neutral and coasted to a spot I could safely stop. I THINK I ran out of diesel, fuel gauge not working and it was...

Hi all, I have a replacement auto dim rear view mirror as my current one does not work. I purchased it off flea bay and put it in my shed for a couple of years. I finally decided to replace it this week and only then found out that it is a different part from my current mirror and the...

Getting my diesel back on the road after 2 years was quite easy thanks to this forum. I forgot how helpful everyone is and the massive bank of knowledge and experience everyone holds. So car passed MOT and I am back in the Rangie zone (I think there is a song in that).

To start with I am well aware of the required precaution to disconnect the battery for a minimum of 30 mins before looking at the airbag system. Nanocom is reporting "SRS error 004 Open Circuit. Intermittent fault". So it looks like I need to check a connector. I have been through the...

Hi all again. I am getting my doozel back on the road after a 20 month break. All is good, starts etc, apart from the drivers door will not open from inside or outside. When I lock or unlock it from the fob or lift the door button, the locks open and immediately close. When the lock is...

Hi all, long time no speak. I am starting to get my P38 back on the road and one of the issues is that the SRS light is permanently on. What are the steps to diagnose the fault after checking the yellow connectors under the seats? I have read the previous posts but do not know what checks to...

Hi all, I am having trouble with the tailgate seal. It keeps pulling away from the metalwork as its a very tight fit to get it seated all the way around, it either comes away by the rear lights or the upper corner. Would something like Tiger Seal applied to the valley of the seal work to hold...

Hi there, long time no speak as car has been off the road for quite a while. I am trying to get me P38 back on the road and hoped someone in the know would be able to point me in the right direction for a value set of tyres, running standard 16" rims. I am looking for the cheapest option...
