evening all, as per title recently for (all my sins) bought a 1998 p38 4.6hse for bit of comfort and just going to use the defender for playing in!
knew nothing about the car hadnt even heard it running n bought as spares or repair :doh::doh::doh: body work is all good and interior is well tidy. had a play in her today got her fired up sounds sweet as now the list of problems im hoping a few of you can help with...
1, had her ticking over idling lovely for 10-15mins and she boiled up there wasn't that much pressure in the top hose but was hot there is no slime in the cap or the oil dipstick. its been stood 8months could the hoses be a bit clogged up or is it the dreaded h word?:jaw: there was warm air coming out of vents.
2,the vents were blowing warm but but only on the screen when adjust to feet or face there was no air at all??? the motor still makes noise like it blowing but nothin... cant be with out a good blow!
3, fitting new stereo as other required code and i dont have it, the new stereo works fine tested in my car,it powers up in range rover works on a small unfitted speaker but not through any of the rangies speakers it has harman kardon systems done a few searches and the only thing i found was to check fuse which i have done under bonnet and seat is there any others i should check? the car has had tvs and dvd player fitted
4, sun roof set??? managed to re set windows as had window faults all round but cant even get the sunroof to open?? any idea?
5, heater/temp display has a hand book, freezer sign and exclimation mark *!
on the main display panel ive had alternator fault, slow max 35mph, all window faults gearbox fault but these have seemed to clear when i managed to get her started and all that on the first day of owning!!!!
short of buying a litre of petrol and matches not sure what to do
cheers for any help
