I’ve been offered a p38 key fob with a blank key; the guy has installed the electronics which was set to his old p38, my question is can the electronics in the key fob be reset to match my p38 so I can use it.

Well up on ramp this afternoon guys ummmed and arrrred and then one said that pipe doesn’t look straight to the adapter, could be cracked so basically I got no further on with there help, so I am going to local scappy tomorrow and see if I can find a secondhand pipe, all the garage could offer...

Thanks Mark, I am convinced the leak is from the top pipe in on the adapter, I spoke to my local Land Rover garage chap I explained the problem, he said much the same as me, fitting is correct has to be something wrong either with pipe or adapter or even both, offered to take a look on his ramp...

Yes that’s a thought, Just fitted my last o ring and it went as it should, I am beginning to think maybe the former owner damaged either the oil pipe or the adapter, I can’t see any damage really laying on my back, I think I may have to remove both the adapter and the pipe, could be a case of...

Bought this range rover about 4 weeks ago, after a week I noticed oil showing on the ground, had a look and could see oil weeping from one of the pipes going into the adapter on the gearbox, manual gearbox, anyway gave the nut a tweak and thought I’ll look at it again in a week, well 3 weeks on...

Thanks for the replies chaps, yes is a diesel 2.5 bmw. I’ll take a look at what you suggest

I am looking to buy a code scanner that will cover the early Range Rover p38 1998 specifically, on some web sites they claim the icarsoft i930 will do the job, this scanner will not work on early vehicles it’s cover starts from 1999, another scanner the icarsoft NT510 will cover some codes but...

Clutch fork !! it will completely fail and then no clutch, investigate now.

New belt

I thought that might end up being the answer, fair do’s.

Guys is there any supplier that makes front floor pans for discovery mk1, I know Easy Panels make a half floor panel , I have email them with the question but no reply. Looking like I’ll have to make my own.

Do just see the smoke only when starting from cold.

You say new engine and gearbox mounts, are you sure you have suspended the engine right, only needs one mount to be slightly off and that could cause trouble, had similar few years ago on a diesel someone had changed, engine was a bit heavier

Well sounds like you have covered everything bleed wise, one last thing you could try is a pressure easybleed kit, you can get one from Halfords around £15.00, this will blow the fluid through and remove any air in the system, if after this you still can’t get full release there’s nothing more...

I bought Borg-Beck clutch couple of years ago, fitted it and I could not get it to bleed properly, went through all the usual bleeding procedures but nothing worked, took the engine out and there it was the friction plate had dropped a spring between the plate and the pressure plate. I have...

Just a thought could it be the diaphragm in the fuel pump has got hard.

If the piston has moved further up the slave cylinder than usual, the seal is probably damaged so replace slave cylinder as opposed to seal, then bleed again.

Thank you for that link I really appreciate it, unfortunately my headlights are the ones before that fitment, the studs are part of the headlight none removable, obviously the change to the headlights was due partly to this very problem. I’ll get round it just a pity Land Rover didn’t address it...

No but thanks for your help anyway

Ha ha nice
