    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    What did you expect? Those tyres are rated C for wet grip. The difference in stopping distance between A & C is 7 metres when braking from 50mph. I only use my P38 on tarmac & never fit anything but tyres rated A for wet grip.

    P38A Leak

    The plastic pipe is 20+ years old & while originally flexible is now stiff & as I know to my cost can easily shatter unless you handle it very delicately when blowing through to ensure it is patent. I made a emergency repair with a length of 1/2" garden hosepipe & two jubilee clips. It lasted...

    Semi-strange question - why L322 is a 'truck'?

    The P38 is not a "truck" which is an Americanism. It's a "car". If you read the other forum that has loads of Yanks contributing they always call the P38 a "truck" even though they occasionally get corrected by the Brits.

    P38A Looking for p38 parts in Kent area

    Annoyingly Island-4x4 don't even publish their telephone number so you cannot call them with enquiries. This is in contrast to Rimmer Bros. who have always been very helpful on the phone when I have called them plus you can collect from their parts counter. Unfortunately they are a long way from...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    The heated seats on my P38 have never worked in the thirteen years that I have owned the car as I have never bothered fixing them. I have had several other cars with heated seats & never bothered using them. Years ago when a colleague got a new car with heated seats he exclaimed that switching...

    P38A Going through radiators- not overheating

    There shouldn't be any Jubilee clips. The fixings should all be self-clamping spring hose clips that apply an even pressure. They are much easier to remove & replace than jubilee clips too just need to get them on & off with a pair of Flexible Wire Long Reach Hose Clamp Pliers

    P38A P38A 1996 4.6 Auto HSE EAS slow to lower and rise + random height change to extended height + compressor running too frequently.

    Don't forget that the EAS is an active system. It's adjusting heights at all four corners as you drive along.

    Programmable key fob and blade needed

    Nobody can code a key to a P38. If the OP is in the US then they will have a 315MHz fob & genuine replacements are no longer available from a main dealer (unlike here in Europe where we have 433MHz fob & can still purchase new from Land Rover). In this case the only option is to send the fob to...

    Programmable key fob and blade needed

    Take your V5C to a Land Rover main agent & they will sell you an original flip style key for about £250. Alternatively Classic Rides North Wales will sell you a non-flip key for £162.50 but you will need to send them your key or borrow a widget to read the codes from your key...
