    P38A ABS and Traction Problems

    OK. Finally got a few minutes to nip out the with the meter. I decided to go for the jugular and pulled C505 from the ABS ecu and tested pins 3+6 and 7+8 one gave me 898ohms and the other 937ohms. I also tested my "spare" wabco sensor which also showed me about 900 cant just remember of the top...

    L322 What to look for when buying.

They are complicated cars with many many things to...

    L332 steaming up inside help.....

    Do you use a cloth to wipe the water away? And then put it back in the car? If so get the car dry and take the damp nasty cloth out. Alternatively ive seen people who have used things such as cat litter in a bowl to absorb moisture from the car to dry it out.

    To be fair its been a nice day! I managed to get 5 minutes to fit my replacement sat nav computer. However, family duties called and we decided to go for a walk and then to the shops with out little 5 month old. I was also "working" - overtime to feed the P38's thirst for bits! :D

    Not yet, that's on the to do list! I need to get a few minutes in the day light when it isnt raining to do some further testing.

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Thanks. Looks like the spacer is missing as it did have a dished washer but for some reason it was catching the compressor. Will have a closer look to it. In other news, my suspicions were correct in that the late spec P38 Navigation system is the same as BMW (and indeed early L322's) and that...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Changed pollen filters and air filter. Also looked at my noisy compressor, turned out that the wrong washer was fitted to the rear mount causing it to vibrate through the mounting bolt. Changed for a more appropriate washer and much quieter!

    P38A ABS and Traction Problems

    Aye seen that I just wondered if they were from Land Rover prices. I did find new on eBay for about £300 for an srd100501. Hopefully spare bulbs for cluster coming tomorrow so will try and get that out and see how many are missing!

    I do have a slight other problem now with removing wheels at the moment, dear old dad trying to help the other day didnt get the locking wheel nut on square and stood on the brace and has managed to snap a pin out of the locking wheel nut tool and damage the wheel nut so I'm awaiting delivery of...

    P38A ABS and Traction Problems

    Thats very kind of you mate, I shall bear it in mind. I'm going to try and do a bit of testing first as its basically free. First job is to remove my ECU and look for any water ingress or damage to the pins. I'll try and slip over to dads one afternoon and get a meter on it. At the risk of...

    How cheap is your ECU if I do end up needing one ?! ;)

    Ahhhhh.... Joys of P38 ownership. I can already hear my other half "your always messing with that bloody car...." :)

    P38A ABS and Traction Problems

    Yeah I have seen that to be fair, having re-read it it seems that they are bulbs. I'm assuming that I should really take the battery of before trying to remove the cluster. Will order a few bulbs for it and see if there are some gaps!

    P38A ABS and Traction Problems

    This is my worry, of course its last owner had it for however long and if they had a generous MOT tester then fine. I'm not in a position to be sure that it'll ever get through a ticket, despite it being relatively safe its the fact that the ABS doesnt work and its no traction control which is...

    P38A ABS and Traction Problems

    This is the thing that's leading me towards ECU, I don't actually have any lights on the dash for TC and ABS. I do have the handbrake warning light which stays on until the brake booster pump reaches pressure. I mean that the bulb check does not even work. Ive had a close look at the dash and...

    P38A ABS and Traction Problems

    Thanks for the pin numbers it gives me something to go at. I have not had the ECU out yet so I suppose its possible that there is a damaged pin or some damp in the harness or anything really. What I did wonder, I have a friend who has my old 4.6 Thor. If I borrowed the ECU from that it would...

    P38A ABS and Traction Problems

    Well I've tried a brand new sensor and got the same fault. The sensor I took of was dated 2011 so looks like it's had this issue for a while I wonder if they've done a sensor and just left it as there are no warning lights on dash so it will pass an Mot (technically)
  20. Q

    P38A ABS and Traction Problems

    Right I've had a google with the fault code number I've got and everything I've found is pointing to ecu failure which is a bit of an Arse but to be fair they are not horrific to buy second hand. My only question is as long as it's the 4 channel job with the part number srd100500 will it just...
