+1 on checking both coil packs. I kept having a misfire on cylinder 7. Changed the spark plugs (#7 was burnt) and wires but kept misfiring. Then I checked the spark on #7 comparing it to #1 and it was very faint. Ended up replacing both coil packs and now all is good:). Mine is a petrol not...

Yup that's probably the case. Thanks for the tip on the AC Cond, I'll have to keep that in mind and maybe stock up before it goes too...

Thanks wammers for the link! That's the buger that was loose on my rig. I may just buy a few to have as mine was a little bit loose and since the metal is very fragile on this, the next time I need to get in there it'll likely fail. I completely agree as I saw the same diagram in RAVE. As to...

Hi Wammers, good observation! Before starting this I also took a look online and found the following info: https://goo.gl/images/iyF9vW https://goo.gl/images/2o9QGW https://goo.gl/images/8iJkAg Also I took a picture of the latch mechanism on the inside of door panel and I have it attached...

Thank you Mark!

Thanks for all the responses. So I was able to take a peak this morning and it the barrel arm to the lever was detached (the one on the left is for the lock barrel the one on the right is for the handle). I put it back on but upon closing the door it came off again! So I took out the door...

Mark, Thank you for the reply and for the link too! I will pop off the door card and have a look see and report what I find. I sure hope its something simple!:) Best, Calguy

Hello, My 2001 P38A will not lock or unlock with the key manually. The keyfob works fine and all central locking works. I'm a bit stumped at what could be the problem. Any suggestions? Is there some rod or linkeage from the key barrel to the latch that may broke off? Is that even possible...

So I talked with the company that repairs Harmon Kardon amps and unfortunately the amplifier cannot be repaired due to the way the circuit board is constructed. As I understood it the DSP board is glued together and cannot be serviced. I reached back out to Harmon Kardon asking if there's any...

Thank you brianp38dse. I'll read through it and see if that's possible. Thank you biketeacherdave too for the information. So just to clarify. The amp is not repairable unless it's a power failure or low hiss problem? Correct? Is the volume being absent due to a power failure or some other...

BrianP38DSE, that's awesome. I'll have to look for that thread was it on this site? I'm all for any solution that involves keeping the factory set up in place. I'm optimistic that there will be a company that can fix this unit. After all many others marques of the period of our P38s are...

Thanks Lone_Wolf. You confirmed my suspicion that the AMP is to blame. I'm finding out they are next to impossible finding used in a junk yard. Let alone the cost. Unfortunately, just talked to my contact at Land Rover and they are NLA new (no longer available). I'm going to keep looking...

Good idea though I will disconnect the sat nav and see if sound is restored.

Thanks for the responses. I don't think if it's the SatNav as it seems to work. The screen comes on with the LandRover logo and shows all menu options. I have toasted it before when the battery died before the SatNav was able to write the data upon ignition off (ie properly shut down at...

Hey mates, I noticed this past weekend upon starting the rig that no sound came from the speakers but the sub woofer was still thumping and responded to sound level adjustments. My P38 is a 2001 SE with the factory SatNav and Harmon Kardon system. Could this be a sign the Amp is a goner? The...

Thanks for the response. I'll have to take a look around that area, chances are it could just be unplugged otherwise I'll probably have to get another unit and drop it in and see if that does the trick. If the battery of internal to the siren can that just be replaced? Isn't it a rechargeable...

Thanks for the responses. I don't think the alarm was tripped when the battery was replaced as the battery was completely dead. +1 on checking if the bbus is connected. Unfortunately RAVE isn't too detailed on where the connector for the bbus is located. Is the connector under the right side...

Thanks for the reply. You are right on the alarm having it's own horn as the normal horn works well. I only hear a clicking sound when inside the car, it's as if though the alarm horn quit working... No water in either footwells. Is there a relay for the alarm horn/transponder. I recently...

Hello, On my '01 P38 lately every time the alarm goes off the horn does not sound. The system works since when it's tripped from the inside of the cabin you can hear the clicking of the relay on and off but the horn doesn't sound. Similarly if you leave the bonnet open and try to lock the...

Thank you guys. I did just that and managed to get the shade panel out without breaking any of the clips. I think reinstalling I might not be so lucky. How would you recommend to reinstall the new panel? I was thinking of fitting the panel in one runner and then bow it again in the center to...
