What did you do with your Range Rover today

P38 Monkey · Dec 19, 2022

OK, so the big freeze suddenly turned into the big thaw with condensing water vapour in the air.
I was out a couple of times last week in my P38, on roads that our council helpfully covers in corrosive slime.
So this morning I got the old girl out of the garage and in the cool fresh rain I washed the salt off topsides and underside.
My previous car was a Volvo. I think in 12 years I ran it through the car wash a couple of times.
But now I wash my P38 in the rain. And then take photos.
Obsessive? Or just a P38 owner?

Who can say.

The delay is more throttle response.. I'd say a good half second between hitting the throttle and the rev counter moving.. I'll see if i can make it repeatable

Have you posted pictures?

No swelling is a sure sign you are getting old

Just got back from fixing a burst pipe and beep beep eas slow to 35 bugger, check faults and it says rear r out of range, cleared but it wont rise when commanded and pumps quite warm so will pull it out and have a look at it, i cant remember if i rebuilt it or not this years or just swapped it for another one.

brianp38dse · Dec 19, 2022

Pump changed for a good one and all is well, i wish my work van was as easy to diag and fix, when it its dry i will change the crank sensor and see if that sorts the van.

Im 5ft10 and i dont need them getting out at standard height, just makes it more a faff for me, and if i use them to get in I wallop my head off the roof, i dont particularly like them and would have got them off but the front mudflaps are shaped too suit them
