Thanks Slippy, I'll check that out. Since I've written the post and stayed away from TOTAL garages I've had no problems at all. Kevin

Hi' Have had a problem with my 97' 2.5 cutting out usually on junctions or roundabout after a long coast with foot off the throttle. (This results is loss of power steering etc) A few of you gave me a few good suggestions last year but being the type to do the job only as a last resort, I...

Hi Wills, I did change them last year but worth doing again because I live in a rented house on a farm so not the best enviroment for cleanliness. Now if I could just figure out how to sort out the rapeseed field 200 hundred yards in front of the house and 200 yards behind...

Hi Wills, I'm 99% sure the air con was in the off position (orange light on) because we were out for the day and I've just developed an allergy to rapeseed pollen which made me close all air vents, sunroof and turn air con off every couple of miles or so. The fans came on when I turned the...

Hi' No, not abroad - sunny Ross on Wye not far from you! Only came on yesterday continually and the temp was 21 degrees - the air con was set low but not actually switched on at panel. Fans came on when ignition was switched on only. Just been out and replaced relays to have a play around...

Hi, My cooling fans are staying on all of the time on my 97' 2.5 p38. Temperature gauge reads normal and no signs of overheating. It did do this now and again but now on constantly. Can't find any obvious radiator switches on car or mentioned in parts catalogues. Thanks Kevin...

Grabbers and Pirelli Scorpions. Maybe not the best mix but I thought Range Rovers were capable of a lot more. Thanks for your intelligent and helpfull answer. Very much appreciated! Kevin

Hi, Bought a 97 diesel P38 last year after my MG ZT got stuck on a grass verge and had to be pulled off by my daughters little Peugot! Shortly afterwards we moved to a house down a steep farm drive and got snowed in for 3 days. I thought "enough is enough !" - and bought the...

Kev, What is actually wrong with the paddock s/ box. What experience have you or others had? They're half the price of everybody else - tempting, but if you know something I don't and would rather not say on forum, e mail me on dawndunlop@aol.com Cheers kevin

Thanks Kev. Will find a few prices Monday. Kevin

Just been out and checked suspension bushes and all seem good. There is a little bit of play in track rod end but not enough to warrant the excessive play. I'm 90% sure it is the box - anybody know of cheaper places if Paddocks not too good? Rimmers want 440 + vat plus a hefty surcharge...

Hi, The tyres are good - ish with 2 new on the back (replaced about same time as problem started.....I wonder if that's affecting the front in some way?) bushes haven't been checked but will do within the next hour or two when the water and cow sh*t have dried underneath (Live in rented house...

Hi, My 97' 2.5 P38 has developed play in the steering and now wanders when on most road types. Previously very positive steering, but developed this fault within two weeks(600 miles). I fitted a new track rod end on the drag link to steering box arm which was shot and thought this would cure...

sorry, i should get out more.

JUST BOUGHT THE HOT START FIX ON E BAY FOR AROUND 25 POUNDS. TOOK ME 15 MINUTES TO FIT (DIDN'TUSE THE SCOTCHLOCK CONNECTORS - I JOINED WIRES WITH TAPE INSTEAD BECAUSE COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO SOLDER THEM AS A PREVIOUS POST SUGGESTED) THE RESULT IS BRILLIANT! NO MORE COVERING OLD LADIES AND...

I had a similar problem on my 97' 2.5 at around 70mph - especially when a lorry past the other way. It was the windscreen seal at the bottom of the screen vibrating at speed. Try putting tape over the lower edge temporarily to test for improvement. If it works use some sealer under it to fill...

Ok!

My son has a honda civic and says he can put a paperclip in the diagnostic plug and the fault codes come up in a series of dots and dashes - this can then be translated to the specific fault. Can you do this on a Range Rover, because I'm mighty p*ssed off with keep having to give my local 4x4...

Hi, I've not changed mine yet but I,ve read on other threads that it's less than an hour each and its a pretty straight forward job. kevin
