Anyone on here bought one lately from Ross on Wye with a speedo showing 133000,the true mileage of this vehicle was about 219000 as it was clocked in 2006 as shown on the MOTs,I notified the dealer of this but he put it back on ebay as was. I made the mistake of buying a RR from him which was...

I most certainly did thanks.

Well finally the problem has been cured. Thanks to the expertise of martyuk who went through all the possibilities with me on the phone and after checking all the wiring and other units as far as possible there was still no instrument panel,something that seems to be very rare for this to fail...

Hawkeye talks to nothing just says no data lin Have checked all the plugs to the becm and found no corrosion,tried hawkeye on my other p38 and all works fine.

I have gone through as much as I can and have not found any wiring faults,the key buttons are not functioning but the key locks and unlocks all doors, the engine is still not allowing entry and trying to re sync keys has failed. The Hawkeye activates so there is power to the plug but just get No...

Well I have run out of ideas so it looks as though I will neede to get the becm checked out any suggestions as to who to use.

No but this was to get rid of superlock activation,which had stopped everything,keypad lockout. The car started as normal and I drove to our chicken shed about 100 mtrs,came out later and found it had locked down and engine immobilised,keypad did not have any effect so entered the eka.whick...

1997 4L V8 Gems engine,had trouble with engine disabled but when I connect Hawkeye it comes up as no data link,anyone had this problem? Tried EKA but that does not overcome the engine disabled.

If yours is a 96 on a P its the same as one of mine,the switch has two plus,one is a small multiplug and the other is a two pin unit which has only one wire (Black) is connected. You should be able to get a new lock on ebay,new over £250 from LR

Well I have to agree with all of you but I only posted it to let people know they are still at it.

I have posted this as a warning,a friend of mine is the victim THERE IS A PERSON LISTING DISCOVERY3's AND THE CARS LOOKS GREAT. The problem is that the cars do not exist. DISCOVERY3 REG: GJ57ZCV To pre-warn you to keep a careful lookout, here are their details and the bank accounts used...

Should have added that the seller had no idea about this and was totally honest.

I have recently been looking for a P38 and found one that fitted my needs,did a check with Car Analytical for £9 and found the vehicle had been clocked in 2005 to the tune of 80,000 miles plus. Well worth checking out you new prospect,gives all info on MOTs and any other problems,insurance...

I have just carried out this change over from a 2000MY to a 97 and the only problem was the seat belts from the later model have the auto tension and will not fit the early door pillar,simple just change the belts from the earlier car. Otherwise all the trim fitted straight in.

Totally agree with you about the advantage of a rear winch,any suggestions on a good bumper.

Can anyone suggest the best steel rear bumper for the P38

UPDATE The problem turned out to be the stupid idea of the TD5 engine have rubber seals on the botton bolts of the bell housing as the bolts go through into the sum as per the transit engine.One bolt had come very slightly loose probably as a result of the seal getting caught. All put right by...

Had my D2 tdi in the garage for a new clutch,duly fitted and off I went after they had problems and replaced the hydraulics. Did about ten miles and on arrival at home noticed a pool of oil beneath the car,checked and found it to be from the bell housing/engine join,it dumped the entire engine...

Yes we changed both seals and still water came in,I can only suspect the the frame has been damaged in the past.
