    P38A Can you take your car to another MOT station if it fails?

    Hi all My P38 failed its test today on high emissions. First time I've been to this centre - never even had a warning on emissions before. They are suggesting it needs an entire exhaust system including cats which is probably right. My question is - as I am loathe to spend the money at this...

    P38A Throbbing!

    Wheel bearing. check. How much is this job to get done typically? assume you need a bearing press. - should I do all four while I'm at it or is it just a case of replacing them as they go??

    P38A Throbbing!

    Hi all Have a 99 P38 Thor 4.0.... as I'm driving I have started to notice what I would describe as a throbbing/humming noise - sounds like it is coming from the front right drive area. could this be drive shafts? hubs? What do people think? Josh

    P38 Heater inlet hoses - aftermarket or OEM?

    Thanks all. Will pick some genuine items up. For bleeding am I right in saying that I should fit the inlet pipe, fill the coolant, run the system and connect the return pipe once I get some coolant coming through and then allow the system to run and air to escape through the vent pipe by the...

    P38 Heater inlet hoses - aftermarket or OEM?

    Hi all My heater inlet hose let go today ('99 4.0 THOR). This happened outside Halfords of all places and one of the wiper fitters there fashioned me a bit of hose to get home from his spares package. Chap! Anyway - going to replace a few hoses in the engine bay now as they are all old...

    Rough/Lump running

    I had rough running and a load of random codes and I replaced the MAF/Lambda sensors and this sorted it. I have also wondered about plugs... I presume the parts in the first kit on this page suffice? Range Rover 2 Engine Service Kits at www.rimmerbros.co.uk

    Cold start?

    Whenever I take it to the garage where they have diagnostics, it is warm enough to start = no fault codes.

    Cold start?

    Still having this issue and have now replaced the Temperature sensor. The problem is getting worse - it now wont start if temp is under 12-15 degrees. Started this morning - just! and my phone said it was 17 deg. When it doesn't go, I can get it going by spraying Easy Start in through the...

    servicing myself and model year question

    Thanks all I have serviced cars before so I know my way around an oil filter, I am aware that when you buy a service kit it comes with fuel filter so thought I should know how to do it properly. I will have a look at the engine this week to see if the diagram matches what I have Cheers

    v8 4.0 hot start problem

    Makes sense. Im trying not to get too excited that this may be the cause of my problem. Where do I find it and do you know what the official name for it is so that I can look it up in RAVE? Thanks Wammers
