    P38 Low ratio fault with the auto gearbox

    Hi I also had a problem with selecting low ratio a year ago. By selecting low the lights were flashing and the buzzer sound came up but the transfer wasn’t changing ratio. The message “select neutral” was displayed. I was still able to drive in hi gears normally however I lost the cruise...

    No washer jets work front rear or headlamp

    I had no rear washer jet on my P38 (1998). The rear washer pump was shot. I replaced it and everything went back normal. The reason the pump failed could be a broken non-return valve. If the valve is broken the pump has to work much longer to pump water to the rear washer jet. A return...

    Hi all from Switzerland

    Hi all from Switzerland, I’ve already posted a couple of threads on the forum but I think it’s time to be polite and introduce myself and my beloved 1998 RR P38. Here a pic of the Rangie (of course with the steering wheel mounted on the wrong side :D ).

    Should i worry ?

    My break booster pump kicks in every other depression but sometimes also every depression. Most of the time every 2. Probably getting tired too. But when turning ignition on I get this same electrical noise for 18 seconds and quite loud (precisely 18 seconds and not 19 or 17). Normal? I...

    P38 or L322?

    I bought my P38 2 years ago and I’m totally happy with. I didn’t have big troubles yet however it’s teaching me what ”to be patient” means. Normal things like EAS fault messages when you’re proudly showing it to friends etc. But I love my Rangie. Never had a RR before and wasn’t specially...

    P38 MY 2000 front seats on p38 MY 1998. Possible?

    I assume that if the airbags and pre tensioners are not connected they won’t explode :rolleyes::rolleyes:. I hope so… Anyway I would start changing the passenger seat. In the case of an explosion the driver (me) would be safe.:D I’ve studied the workshop manual and the...

    New p38 first service?

    Hi, If you have an interest into, I can e-mail you the maintenance schedule. It is for P38 from 1999 (VIN XA410504) on, but you can at least get inspired from it if you own an older one as me.

    Thanks to all for your replies, I very much appreciate your advice. I’ve checked the high sensor readings with the software. Seems OK to me. I’ll check the compressor output this weekend. As the car don’t drop I developed the following battle plan: I’ve ordered a...

    eas fault (what else?!) pressure signal constantly high

    Hello everybody, I studied almost every thread on EAS problems on the forum but I’m still unable to give an answer to mine: It began with the truck not lowering to low level after a minute over 100 km/h on the motorway, even if the low light was flashing on the dashboard. And then an...

    low battery – EAS fault connection theory

    I’ve a personal theory to be confirmed. I’ve a P38 4.6 HSE (1998) with EAS system in good conditions (at least I think) but a small and under dimensioned battery (please don’t ask why). I usually don’t have any EAS fault. But … it happens that I drive only very short journeys for a week or...

    clunk when going from drive into reverse

    I All and thank you very much for yours replies. Yes it is high mileage vehicle (206’000 km) and has done a lot of up and down hill but not towing (as far as I know). Transfer box chain replace sounds like a hell of a job to me. Is it? Interesting is that the clunk in reverse comes...

    clunk when going from drive into reverse

    I checked the fluid lever per the book this morning: box cold, engine idling, move gears lever trough all positions. It's OK. Mounts is an interesting theory. I'll check this out. Other suggestions?

    clunk when going from drive into reverse

    Hi everybody, I’ve a P38 4.6 HSE auto gearbox (1998). I'm getting a clunk when going from drive into reverse. Not immediately by selecting reverse but after backing approximately 1-2 meters and especially when the P38 has been parked for a while. The sound seems to come from straight under the...
