    Which tyres

    I thought that 205/80x16 were the standard size. Really good in deep snow.

    P38 Rear Tailgate Gas Struts Removal & Refitting

    It's a nice jod that stops the tailgate coming down on your head and making you irritable!

    lack of power p38

    I'd be looking at the air flow meter. Did the lamda sensors get checked when u did the pipe? Did you check there was nothing in it when it was fitted-I've found an oily rag in one before, ok it didn't block the pipe,but???

    Wheeler Dealer

    Did see it, thought Hmmm. Don't know about diesels, cos it did ,as was said in this post, bang in some really high octane fuel to burn the s*** off. It seems a fair enough thing to do on a high mileage V8, cos that is a "dirty" engine (take a lambda sensor out and see how much deposits are on...

    Vibration while driving ???

    You've gone and upset it now. Go round and tighten up everything you undid, grease every nipple you can find, be careful with the girl next door, then find out that the propshaft you've used hasn't been balanced or the weight has come off!

    DAB Radio Comversion ?

    I have a dab headunit in my p38 and it's the dog's b******, pickup about 46 stations, some even in tunnels! i use a magnetic external aerial on the roof cos it's miles better than the stick on jobs that you can't use in a Rangy anyway. Pure highway is ****E, wife gave me one yonks back, worked...

    can i drive a P38, with the tailgate etc, open?

    I'd have found a mate with a Transit, no hassle and 2 of us to get the bloody thing up the stairs. I've delivered sofas in London (for Delcor) and fourth floor upwards when they won't go in the lift is just not funny, and yes most of them have to be dismantled, great fun

    New to Range Rover new to V8, just want to introduce myself.

    You'll need a thick skin as well as welding gear, eyes that can work in rust showers, the ability to laugh when it's gone t*ts up, bloody deep pockets for when the lpg packs up, etc. Welcome!! Beware Rangy ownership is addictive-just look at how many here have more than one! Sounds like...

    Sagging sunroof lining!!!!!!!!

    Sorry mate, it's a change it job. I've never known headlinings get stuck back successfully, old Jaguars do the same, same result

    The P38 must have been fault free once upon a time....?

    That's got to be close to a record! Still got to be going some to beat the 1988 Rover Sterling, production car 1, blown headgaskets within 5 miles.

    The P38 must have been fault free once upon a time....?

    A heck of a lot were company or leased vehicles, therefore anything wrong, straight to dealer, sorted. It has to be said that Land Rover have made huge strides in their quality and new Landies are nowhere near as characterful as earlier ones. I well remember my first Rangy raining in from the...

    How are you going to get muddy in Californ-i-a? I'm only jealous, good luck

    4.0 v8 1996 idle drops and stalls when put into gear

    If it's an auto, check your gearbox fluid. It could be running too lean as well (at tickover/ low revs). It could also have an-anti stall device (this is from years ago so prob isn't relevant) that automatically richens the mix when going into gear that's not doing it.

    Car unlocked itself?

    I've not only left it unlocked all night but with a window open too! And I was working on my Classic when my wife had an urgent need to buy some shoes or something, I went out leaving my halfords advantix £200 sockets out, open. I live in an amazing neighbourhood-still there when I got back...

    Car unlocked itself?

    Spurious locking/unlocking can occur cos of the design of the RF receiver. An updated one is available, check other posts about coloured dots and stuff. Funnily, I haven't had that happen since I changed my radio and disconnected one of the aerial leads (blue one I think). The RF receiver is...

    That's useful mate, mine seems to run ok but things can happen
