Looking for some advice please. Need a new battery on my P38 (its a 1997 V8 GEMS) as the current one is leaking! Was going to buy a Hankook MF31-1000 battery but have been told the battery posts on this battery are located in the middle of the battery so the battery leads on my car will not...

Might be worth posting the ebay link so they can buy some?

Didnt know Wammers but noticed he helped many on here with his advice, RIP Sir

They can be purchased separately, I bought a couple from the Main Dealers a few months ago, part number AMR5256, cost £1.94 each.

My P38 is a poverty base model so the aerial (os rear quarter window) is a joint FM/AM. There is no aerial on the ns...........but you are right some models with a high line system have a seperate FM aerial in the ns rear quarter window. Fitting my spare radio seems to have done the trick...

Inspected the tow bar wiring this morning, could not see anything wrong. No water inside the tow bar electrical socket either and pins look clean, no nasty green stuff!! Gave it a good spray with contact cleaner nevertheless and I will now monitor to see if the problem happens again. Thanks...

Took the radio out and fitted my spare radio this morning which I found hidden in the loft! FM is now restored! Plugged the original radio back in and FM is distorted so something must have gone wrong internal to the radio.

Thanks all for the advice, gives me a few pointers to look into now, I think I have a spare radio somewhere so I will start by plugging that in and then will go from there. I will update this thread if/when I manage to resolve the concern. All I know for certain is its not window tints that is...

Hi Got an issue with my radio in my 97MY P38. It's been there since I have had the car but never got around to looking at the problem. Got a bit of time to sort it now whilst I am at home during lockdown! Problem is I cannot get any radio reception on FM stations, MW is perfect but I have...

Thanks for the tip on the tow bar electrics as I do have a tow bar fitted, would never have thought of that so I will definitely take a look. Thanks Mark ref water in the lower tailgate, yesterday I did remove the cover and checked all the connections to the rear lamps, bone dry. I also...

Bit of a strange one, hoping somebody may have had this problem before! Came downstairs the other morning, was around 6am and noticed some red flashing lights through the window! I thought what's that so went to investigate and it was my P38 Range Rover (its a V8 97MY if that helps), both the...

Found the problem today, was a light green wire from the BECM to the A post connector. I checked the other connector first as it housed the two feeds/earths to the outstation but they were fine. Then started checking continuity from the BECM to the other side of the connector which connects to...

Could not see anything obvious with the wiring but only did a quick check, will need to look at it more in depth when I get sometime. What did happen today was driving along and I could hear a clicking noise coming from inside the door! Then it stopped but still no window, door lock or mirror...

Firstly car is a 1997 P38a. Went out last night, come home,locked car with the fob everything was working fine. Came out this morning, pressed the fob to unlock the car and the front drivers side door did not unlock (the other 3 did). Opened the driver door with the key to get in. Started...

I had exactly this problem last year, was a corroded fuel pipe, had to drop the tank and ended up replacing both pipes.

Yes I borrowed a battery charger off a friend, I think it was an Acctiva Professional, it looked expensive anyway! Read the instructions and found a mode called refresh which is used to charge the battery if it is suspected that the battery has been deeply discharged (e.g. battery sulphated)...

Fitted a new alternator today, car starts and runs great now! At idle I get 14v at the battery terminals, when I switch on the lights, heater, heated screen the voltage drops to 13.6 regardless of whether the engine is at idle or 2000rpm. Is this voltage sufficient to charge the battery or do...

Ok thanks, never had a diesel so no idea if its the same alternator/regulator as a petrol

Went outside this morning, checked the battery voltage and it was 12.4, started the engine and watched the voltage on my multimetre dropping, when it got to under 10v I switched the engine off before it cut out itself. Soon as the engine is switched off the voltage on the multimetre starts to...

Driving home yesterday and suddenly started to get messages on the IPK, gearbox fault, alarm fault etc then the ABS light came on, then the speedo and tacho started going all over the place then the IPK stopped working, I thought the engine had cut out but it was still running, however around a...
