Delighted with life. Took the alternator out of the P38 and down to my local auto electrician who gave it a good going over. New brushes, regulator and slip ring I think he said. Best £50.00 I've ever spent, put it back in, replaced the negative lead from the battery to the chassis and now get a...

Evening all, I happened to notice last night when I disconnected the earth terminal from the battery that although it was reemed up as tight as it would go it was still able to spin round on the terminal. Can anybody suggest something that could go round the terminal to bulk it out a little...

thank you very much indeed. Dave

Sorry to drag this one up again. Ive been away in Germany for the last 4 days and couldn't wait to get home this evening to try and get the alternator belt off so I can take the alternator off and get it repaired. Made it home with about 10 minutes of day light left, dumped a bag full of washing...

thanks for the info but its a weisel

Is it possible that the vehicle has a particle filter and a catalytic converter? I had to take my wife's cars in for tyres today and whilst talking to the garage owner he opened by his exhaust book and we had a quick look. I said to him about your comment Wammer but he reckons its definately...

cant wait to get my disc from Datatek so I can work out how to slacken the tensioner off to get the belt off the alternator.

Can the brushes and regulator be replaced will the alternators in situ? thanks, Dave

Radweld!!!

Whilst changing all the fluids on the p38 at the weekend I happened to notice the exhaust system seems to be on it's last legs. The back boxes are seriously corroded, the centre box isn't much better and the bracket that supports the exhaust by the catalytic converter is hanging on by a thread...

When these vehicles show " Alternator Fault" is it taking that information from the alternator or is it picking it up from a low charge going to the battery?

Just out of interest what is the thingy called that the other end of the vacuum pipe coming off the EGR plugs into? thanks Dave

Evening all, Sorry to restart this thread but I have a quick question for you guys. After concluding that the EGR was knackered somebody suggested blocking the vacuum pipe off. Now this is going to sound like a really stupid question but which end of the pipe should I block off? Before you all...

yes your right, I just hadn't quite banked on everything coming in at once. I'm not one for bodging and I know my limitations when it comes to vehicle repairs so I won't touch something I have no idea how to repair. Unfortunately though this philosophy seems to be costing me a small fortune at...

Sorry to high jack your thread but I now have to embark on the mission of replacing these O-rings. Ican't believe it, I've just spent a ruddy fortune on this car and now this!!! Will it ever end??? Everybody says only buy these cars with full service history, what a load of bo**ocks, everything...

Is anybody on here a member of the Range Rover register? I've been thinking about joining for a while but I get the impression its bit of a Gentlemens club. I hope I am wrong, I am sure they are all really nice people, its just the impression I get. Dave

Stirling job sir looks really nice

If for any reason neither of these two guys want it please can I have third dibs, thanks, Dave

What if his bumpers aint black :confused: :rolleyes: Don't use it!!

black boot polish, works a treat, works for ages. Use it as you would on a pair or shoes. Dave
