Can this feature (in the title) be retro-fitted to a vehicle which originally left the factory without the dipping function or is it an impossible task? My car is a 1997 V8 Auto. Thanks

Thanks all for the comments so far, I should have stated that the UJs (GKN brand) were changed (and yes I did grease them) a few months ago so unless I have dodgy new GKN UJs it cant be that, the issue was there before I changed them and changing them has made no difference at all sadly...

Have an annoying problem on my P38 which I am struggling to diagnose so thought I would create a post to see if anybody has had the same problem before. Issue is at slow speed, i.e. crawling in traffic (in D no throttle) there is a light judder from somewhere on the driveline. I would describe...

Taken from the WM, hope this helps you out. 44.24.02 Gearbox fluid - drain & refill - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - GM 5L40-E Drain 1. Position vehicle on lift. WARNING: Observe due care when draining gearbox fluid as the fluid can be very hot. 2. Apply handbrake and position chocks under front...

Is there a torque figure applied to the hub nut which is used to determine if the viscous is seized? Seems subjective otherwise just to say it should turn with with some force. One persons opinion of a high amount of force could be totally different to the next person.

I think you will struggle to find General Grabber AT2, well if your tyre size is 255/65/16, maybe they are still available in other sizes. Everywhere I tried told me that tyre is no longer available in the size I required and has been replaced with the AT3. @kermit_rr - how are you finding the...

Thanks for the all the comments. 1) I have spoke to Ashcroft transmissions yesterday as somebody mentioned them, they can do me an exchange t/box total price just over £1,200, think you get £250 of that back upon return of the old t/case. 2) Thanks Dataek for your input, if the viscous can be...

Hi All, Next on my list of things to do on the P38 is to overhaul the t/box and replace the viscous and chain. Tyres are starting to scrub when turning so the viscous is on the way out so if replacing that might as well overhaul the complete box. Can anybody suggest what other parts should be...

The General Grabber AT2's seem a popular choice, anybody know where I can get them in the size I require please (255/65/16)?

General everyday normal road driving and some occasional off road use

The tyres on my 1997 P38a Range Rover will need replacing soon and I would like some advice please on what the best tyres/sizes are for my car that would fit a 16" rim. I am currently running 255/65 R16, obviously rim size needs to stay at R16 but open to suggestions on best tyre, width and...

1) No LPG on my car. 2) 8 new plugs were fitted in June during the service, I did take them out last night but they looked ok, leads how do I test them? 3) Havnt done anything with the MAF sensor but if that was duff would it not log a DTC? I do remember in the past disconnecting the MAF sensor...

Hi, Driving along in my 1997 P38a 4.0 V8 the other day and went to overtake somebody and struggled to get power, got to around 2500rpm and I could feel the engine struggling, feels like the brakes are stuck on when trying to accelerate. Doesn't do it all the time, but it did happen again on...

Hi All, bit of feedback to close this one off, replaced the ignition switch and now all is well. Glad it was the switch and not the fob(s), would have been unlucky to have both fobs go down at the sametime and would have been a much more expensive repair as the fobs are pretty expensive...

How do I turn off passive immobilisation, I do have a couple of contacts I could try, presume I need a T4 and then somewhere in there (guess under security or BeCM) there is a facility to change the settings? Aerial for the receiver is all connected and as Wammers says to have two fault fobs...

I have had the car for a number of years, problem happens regardless of whether the gear is in P or N. Problem has been there as long as I can remember, I thought it was normal until a friend of mine pointed out that his P38 Range Rover doesnt say engine disabled everytime you go to start the...

Thank you for this information, I would tend to lean more on the side of the coil being defective rather than the remote handset(s), as I have two working handsets and this problem occurs with both of them, unless I am really unlucky and both handsets are dodgy!

I have checked the RF receiver in the rear quarter panel area this morning and its all connected so possibly a dodgy ignition switch? I can always start the engine so I am never left stranded but its a pain getting in the car turning the key and getting engine disabled press remote all the time...

I really hope not as both the drivers and passenger latches have been replaced in the past month (it was doing it before the latches were replaced)

1997 Gems 4.0. So I go to the car, press the remote which unlocks the car, get in the car put the key into the ignition and turn the key expecting the engine to start and all I get is beep beep Engine Disabled Press Remote showing on the IPK. Press the remote with the key in the ignition and...
