I've not logged on since 2005, in fact I've been playing with Jaguars for a while and ran a 1972 diesel Series 3 for a while, whilst renovating a Listed Building, so didn't really have much to share with the Forum. I missed the joys of range Rover ownership and now have time and resources to dip back into the pond ! I have been suitably chastised for being away for so long and advised to post the thread in the Range Rover area. So anyway, I buy a P.38 and hey presto, problems, this is more of a share that a request for assistance, as I'm determined to crack the problem myself and share my progress or lack of it with the forum! I recently bought a 1996 TD P.38 which sat a shade low on the nsr, I drove it home and it maybe dropped a shade lower and the osf was certainly high, so I had a diagonal tilt. I swapped the front sensors across to use 'virgin' track on the potentiometers and this slightly improved the situation. Fired by my apparent success, I had a shot at flipping the rear sensors over. The bolts were tight and the captive nuts came loose in the plastic casing. They eventually came away using a touch of brute force. I swapped them across and the system went crazy 
. Swapped them back and no joy, it jiffled about a bit and then sort of gave in. The truck now sits with the nearside up, the off side down and despite the lights cycling, the system does nothing, not even self level. I've tried the basic EAS Kicker Lite and it clears the stored faults, but of course won't reveal the fault. The factory workshop manual isn't of much assistance and I now await the software to talk to the system and recalibrate the sensors. I managed to flatten the battery and the radio code isn't in the document wallet, so any guidance on that matter would be welcome . All in all, it's Frank Spencer, The 3 Stooges and Norman Wisdom rolled into one here, but I thought I'd start a thread as it's cathartic to reveal my ineptitude/stupidity to the brotherhood of the green oval ! Have I killed it or have I just upset a sensor. Watch this space !
