I am currently doing a clearout of my house after taking early retirement least year and have come across some parts that I bought before my P38 decided to fail with major problems around 9 year ago. If anyone in the North East would like these (free of charge) then let me know and we can...

Hi all. Its been around 6 years since I got rid of my Rangie P38 going through a Hyundai Tucson to my current Lexus RX450h (had it for two and half years now) The Lexus has been great but just had my first fault with it since I got it. One of the rear springs broke and this has shown the...

I used to be on here quite a bit when I had my old P38 and it was needed with the number of times things went wrong with it. I got rid of it and got a Hyundai Tucson around two and half years ago and joined that forum but there was never much going on. I have just changed car a couple of weeks...

It is now around two and half years since I got my Rangie and, with the help of this excellent forum, have found out lots about them and what goes wrong with them. Well now it has got to a point when I will be saying good bye to my Rangie, either part exing it or selling on a parts or repair...

I am toying with the idea of getting rid of my 1998 P38 DSE and getting an L322 4.4 V8. Two that have caught my eye at the moment, one is a 2004 Vogue SE (think it should be an Autobiography) with 85,000 and the other a 2005 Vogue with 106,000. Used Land Rover Range Rover Suv 4.4 Vogue Se...

It is a shock how quickly some things can take affect. Monday morning there was a slight knocking from the front of my P38 DSE, just as though a weight had come of a wheel. It was about due for replacing the front tyres so thought to leave it a couple of days until I got them replaced...

I have a 1a998 DSE. After recently changing a coolant/ heater pipe at the rear of the engine, got it all working again but have noticed it was still loosing water somewhere. Cannot see any signs of a leak apart from it being "wet" at the front of the engine where the thermostat housing...

I am currently in a hotel just off J2 of M42 with a Rangie P38 diesel that is spweing water out of a pipe at rear of engine. The original clamp has crushed the pipe beyond which it cannot make a water tight seal. Is anyone nearby got a jubilee clip around 25mm tightened please, hopefully...

oh bugger ..... Thought it was going too well. Car passed it's MOT after replacing the drop links on the anti roll bar. Just had a good run down from North East to Birmingham, car going well until just pulling into hotel car park and notice the temp gauge stating to climb. Parked up and there...

Well it has been a bit of a wait and effort, but I finally got the Fuel Injection pump swapped over on my 1998 DSE and I have now got the power back again (well the little power the diesel gives you) ;) It know has the original pump back on again (long story) after having it sent away to be...

Does anyone have this tool that holds the FIP Sprocket in place while you remove the pump? If you have and you have used it succesfully or it is an official Land Rover one, can you please let me know the length of it. The one I have is part of a timing set for the BMW M51 engine and it is...

Does anyone know what size is the bolt in the centre of the crankshaft pulley on the diesel P38? In order to turn the engine to set up the fuel injector pump timing I will need to buy a set of offset ring spanners, so I can get to this bolt without having to remove the fan and fan cowling, and...

It is not nice to see any car stolen but least of all other Land Rovers. One thing I have noticed, looking at the "Stolen" section, is they appear to be mainly Defenders that are targeted. Is this due to being easier to strip down, or to be shipped abroad or what? Have owners found their...

to describe this on sale on Autotrader. I sincerely hope it does not belong to a member on here but all the words that are coming into my head, I am not sure if they are allowed on a website. :eek: Land Rover Defender SWB

Sorry this is a bit of a long one. My 1998 DSE (No EGR or MAF) has been in a local diesel specialist for the last 6 weeks trying to sort out a problem with a loss of power and black smoke when revved. Within the first week they had found the turbo wastegate had stuck open and managed to free...

I know the diesel injector with the sensor changed model numbers around 1999 (mine is a 1998 and falls within the VIN numbers for the older one), does anyone know if they also changed on Vauxhall Omega's with the M51 engine in too or are the ones fitted to those the same as the older ones in the...

.... well at least for the time being at least. For a while I had the book symbol showing on the HEVAC system and have been using the manual setting for blowing air into the cabin. It was going to be on the list of things to look at over the time and a diagnostics on an Autologic system was...
