So I am contemplating a move from London to the Southwest (Cornwall) I may need to reconsider my transport situation. I currently have a 2001 P38 DHSE that I have renovated and has been a good workhorse. It has 148000 miles on it and a the moment it is running faultlessly and is good to...

I think it would have been even better if Hammond was still in the car when they were banging away with those AI .50 calibre rifles :)

I have terrafirma dampers on mine and I wish I had fitted the original Boge, they are a bit better now they are run in plus mine s also on 18'' hurricanes, still very comfy tho, have a look at what make the shocks are

Hi This unit on the side of the FIP (2001 2.5 Diesel) is weeping very slightly, on closer inspection it looks like someone has lashed a different bolt in there, should I remove and clean/Replace the seals or just replace the bolt with a proper button head and leave well alone? It's running...

Ah yes you're right Keith, now I remember the hoses were already off my car at the time, brings back some bad memories

Yes it turns clock wise for removal, position the spanner on the nut and give it a sharp tap I would just pop a bit of card board on the face of the rad when you remove the fan, just stops the VC unit biting the Rad surface, once you loosen the fan, from memory I think you pop the top clips...

Yes on the brief it says Range Rover 1999-2012, I take it something changed on the P38 in 1999? No mention of the diesel tho'

An alternative to Nanocom?? Terrafirma Hand Held Diagnostic Tools at www.rimmerbros.co.uk

Oops sorry 2001 P38 BMW 2.5 DSE of unknown antecedence (Pre 2001) and the drip is on the front of the sump pan on the right hand side as you look at the engine for the rad end Leaves a 50mm patch overnight Cooling system has been overhauled twice in the last 18 months once carefully by me...

Hi Everyone I have a vey small coolant leak manifesting itself as a drip off the left had side of the sump pan. There is no overheating issues and I have had a poke around and nothing seems visible. Could anyone give me a few pointers before I start pulling it all to bits!! Many...

One of my Terrafirma's bottom mount broke after less than 2000 miles (road use only) They are a bit better now the have worn in but would recommend original Boge for sure

Honestly not a good idea.......

Also a must is to use the special tool to hold the hub when you tighten up, the sprocket is held on by a silly little woodruff key that can be damaged by the incorrect tightening procedure. My local Land Rover Dealer very kindly lent me the tool and it's a big beefy bit of kit its Number is...

I have just done the London to Cornwall run in mine and the violent shuddering is now cured. The fitting of a quality Bilstiein steering damper has sorted it, but all bushes and steering links at the front are new as well so I think it all adds up. I replaced all my prop UJ's in an attempt to...

Ok thanks will check that out

I'm not sure but they match the original spare wheel which came with the car, but no spigots fitted They are this style,

Hi Tony 18inch hurricanes with Pirelli scorpions

Hi Tilo As to the diff backlash I am not sure, I noticed the same on mine when going through various process' to sort the scary shuddering. I have had the wobbly seat syndrome since I have had the car, again there seems to be no definitive answer, it comes on at about 63mph 2200rpm and...

Hi Yes have chased all around the houses trying to sort this, the Hurricanes are correct as they match the original in the spare well. Have a look at my post on page 4 which I think outlines the cause and the cure, so far it's worked for me........fingers crossed

Just to close this thread and as a possible solution, this post from another forum. I have changed out the generic steering damper for a quality Bitstein Seems to be working so far, be very happy if it solves this problem I had the same problem years ago on my 98SE. Freeway speed, drive over...
