I don't think so, but I did email Blackbox and tell them I'd bought it. Don't remember giving VIN codes - but that doesn't mean I didn't hahaha

Nano was £200 from a chap in Stoke that sold his P38 and didn't need it anymore :cool:

And buy a Nanocom or equivalent or you are buggered for fault finding :cool:

It was for me. If I have learned anything from this forum and now experience with a P38 - good battery, especially for the diesels (mine are 1000CCA) as these cars are very finnicky on voltage, watch for the burned out / dying fuse box and good earth's all around the vehicle. Any messages for...

Which may explain why after I charged the battery off the vehicle about 6 weeks ago and then it behaved impeccably then slowly the electrical gremlins came back. Low brake fluid warning, SRS, gearbox fault (solenoid power failure), LHS rear brake light failure, RHS reverse light failure, EAS...

Thanks for the reg info - I'll get that sorted asap. Kermit_rr: for me, 1. warning sign: you WILL definitely notice the acrid burning stink if you take the lid off the fusebox. Mine reeks. 2. Check that the +ve bolt that the red cable bolts onto is not loose. Mine waggled about and on...

600 miles done, got an earlier ferry. My field repair held up and 23.3mpg average pulling my trailer the whole way. I fitted an aftermarket head unit about 8 weeks ago and it has a battery voltage display. Looking back after the fuse box burned out, I remember that it was showing 11.2 - 12.0...

Got a RHS reverse lamp failed warning. Took the rear cluster out of the holder - you know, the one with the clear plastic for the reverse lights (spot the deliberate error yet?) Got SWMBO to sit in the drivers seat and engage reverse - hmmmm no lights at all.. how odd. Got her to take it out of...

Thanks Brian :D

Nice to see a lot of the same work I've had to do done by others. Good effort mate BZ :cool:

Fitted new fusebox and now the starter starts and EAS operational again. Made myself a field expedient replacement pipe/tube for the rotted out coolant header pipe. 2 bits of vacuum cleaner pipe jammed one inside the other - TOP TIP a Lidl parkside ash vacuum cleaner tube is the exact size in...

I'll try a repair first with putty then when the shops & Brico are open tomorrow I'll have a look around

I agree, just like the EGR blankers. Metal putty time now, let's see how this goes

Hi guys, I was put onto Turner Engineering Range Rover BMW M51, 664613 Water Tube Cylinder Head, (Code: 4613), £9.99Exc. VAT, (£11.99 Inc. VAT). I'll try to temp fix mine with putty as I'm running short of days before my return trip to UK. I have only put pink coolant in it (OAT I believe). I...

Hi Brian, I thought the same thing. I'm going to look for aluminium if I can but it only needs to get me 750 miles and then I can get it sorted properly. If you do get your mate fab one up I'm in! I need one now, and I bet if the diesel owner's look I'm not the only one

From this bit>>

Minus: Found a corroded pipe that connects the radiator to the engine block today. Horrible state, really bad it literally fell out of the engine block. I thinks it's ally and I'm guessing that's what mixing coolants does. The corrosion is nasty, in the block and in the pipe. Looks like a bad...

Starter motor serviced and all carbon crap now cleaned out. Spins like a dream and starts the car. Still waiting on the new fusebox. Found where my coolant leak was though. What is the pipe called that sticks out of the engine block that goes to/from the top right hand radiator pipe (as you look...
