    Not Starting!

    RAC chap has his laptop connected up and it won't talk to the car. I think perhaps this might be because mine is an LPG with it's own ECU. The RAC chap was thinking that it may be the crankshaft sensor but without diagnostics can't confirm. Fuel pump isn't running, no spark, just spins...

    7 Seat conversion

    I have tried the wanted parts section on here and eBay but no luck so far. I bought the extra seats for the back of my P38 to make it a 7 seater when needed, but the supplier didn't send (or include) the seat belts. Does anyone know where I might get some from?

    LPG in Lancashire

    My 4.6 was running rough and people suggested that I get the trims reset! After a bit of searching the web I found out what this involved and bought some software and a set of cables that cover pretty much all LPG systems that are found in the UK. I plugged in the cable to the car and ran...

    Automatic P38 for towing large caravan. LPG or diesel???

    I have tried both with the same twin axle bailey senator caravan over the years. Had a 2.5 diesel with the BMW turbo version for a couple of years, it towed but always struggled on long hills often overheating on a hot day. The vehicle was well maintained and ran perfectly well when not towing...

    Seat Belts - P38 Extra Seats

    No, they are a smaller version of the back seats, without the headrests, and they face the tailgate. so, back to back with the normal rear seats. I can't see where the seat belts connect too, but I guess that when I track some down it will become clear.

    Seat Belts - P38 Extra Seats

    Range Rover P38 2000 Model. I managed to track down and buy the rear extra seats that go in the boot to make my RR a 7 seater when required. However, the seller didn't supply the seat belts! Does anyone have a set that I can buy from them? Or, can you tell me where to get some.

    EAS Valves

    Wammers, no red 'O' rings, all black. just a thought, it is going down at the back and I'm guessing that the reservoir is emptying too as the system comes up slowly, but a lot faster than it did with the old compressor.

    EAS Valves

    Datatek, I have some software and a cable that allows re-calibration of the EAS, it doesn't really have diagnostic facility as far as I can see. I also have a Hawkeye but that doesn't appear to do diagnostic either? Can you suggest a better software system?

    EAS Valves

    I recently overhauled the system with: New airbags on all corners. New compressor (genuine part) Valve block o-rings The system isn't quite working as it should as it is losing air somewhere during the night. I have used a soap solution to spray all the airline connections and can't see...

    Large Grinding Noise

    4.6 V8 P38 Auto A couple of weeks ago I set off out of a junction and had t floor it as a car appeared quite quickly. I heard a noise that sounded like the front n/s wheel had spun on some gravel (windows closed) and knowing that the tread was getting low assumed that they had just lost...

    vouge se air suspension

    It shouldn't be giving a fault message if everything is OK, so there is likely to be a real fault. Does the suspension move quickly between levels, does it move at all? You can search this forum for lots of tips on the EAS (Electronic Air Suspension).

    Dashboard modification

    I did this on a previous P38 that I had. I went and bought a spare facia panel from a scrap dealer and cut that one up carefully to fit a 7" Panasonic Satnav screen in. I didn't need to move the climate control sensor but did remove the clock. Careful work with a junior hacksaw blade and a...
