You are right I should finish the job off, will do this weekend. Thanks

Not sure if the year makes a difference, mine is a 1999 and has the later engine. I couldnt get the coupling off and called a small local land rover garage who said that V8's were right handed and it came off first time.:confused:

Hi, me again, my day is improving just been for a 30 mile drive and overheating problem seems to have gone so maybe the new viscous fan needs a run before it will work ok. If you need any advice on changing yours let me know. Paul:D

Hi, have just done my viscous fan today, very easy job only half hour and only £66 from island 4x4 but beware mine is a 1999 4.6 V8 and its a right hand nut NOT a left hand as stated in some workshop manuals. It has not cured the problem but good to have a new one so have put a post on here to...

Hi, take a look at my posts and keep an eye on the replies. I think we may have the same problem as do lots of others. Good luck

Hi, This is my second post on this. P38 V8 118,000 miles is overheating when staionery or going slow uphill slowly, all ok on the open road. I have changed the viscous fan but not cured the problem, someone suggested changing the radiator, any ideas if this will help or will i be barking up...

Hi, this has just started to happen to me. I have had the usual lock out thing due to the receiver unit being interupted by other signals and thought that this was just another symptom. I havnt changed to the new receiver unit yet but thought that this might make a difference. if you find a...

Just thought that I would let anyone whos interested know that if you are removing the viscous fan on a Range Rover P38 V8 the thread is NOT left handed but is a normal right hand thread ie undo as a normal nut. :cool:

Thanks RedRange, any ideas of where to get them at a reasonable price, the guy on good old Ebay used to sell them for £150 a pair i think but as i said he's no longer there. Paul

Hi again, I need to replace the shocks on my 1999 P38 4.6. Have searched this site but cant find any info on this subject. There used to be a guy on ebay selling konis but cant find him now either. Any ideas as I am sure some of you must have done this job to improve the ride and handling. I...

Thanks for the info, the viscous fan is faulty. Any tips on changing it would be helpfull or is it strate forward? Thanks to all that replied earlier.

Hi, my 4.6 has just started to overheat in traffic, there is no fluid loss so I was thinking it may be the viscous fan. The temp is ok when on the move. Would anyone know how I could test it (without loosing any fingers!) before I go to the expense of changing it. Any advice on the fitting...

Many thanks for confirming my thoughts, I will fix it in the morning. Paul

Hi, The exhaust heatshield fell off my P38 yesterday, it had been rattling for a while. Has anyone run without one, I pressume the floor gets very hot. I have heard of fixing it back on with extra long jubilee clips but then I wonder if the sheild would work as I pressume there should be a...

All sorted ( I think) the car was in the garage recently and had the battery disconected when I checked at first all seemed to be ok but then i found out that the positive lead had not been tightened!! and was loose. I think it may have just lost its conection. Thanks to all.

Had a new battery last year, it turns the engine over fine. Don't think this was a battery fault as the car started ok after I had locked and unlocked it. I cant make out why there was not even any power to light the interior lights but the central locking worked!!

Hi, Anyone had this before, used my 1999 P38 4.6 this morning and all was ok, left it in the drive all day and when I went to start it this afternoon I turned the key the dash lights came on but only for just a split second, as I went to start the engine then everything went dead, the engine...

Hi, Many thanks for the offer of ECU but car is now sorted (I hope)

Hi, My P38 is at my local independant with the abs/tc fault lights up, diagnostic says n/s rear wheel sensor, this has been replaced but still have lights up, they now say that it might be a broken wire or possibly the abs ecu!!! If it is the ecu has anyone out there fitted a used one, can this...

Thanks everyone, all done now, blow torch, huge copper hammer and LOTS of grunt.
