    Help! Suspension drops to bump stops when engine switched off.

    How soon is immediately?? Like turn engine off, car drops straight away before even exiting or turn off engine, get out, shut door and then it starts self levelling and eventually drops to the bumps?? -Wills :)

    <whispers> good choice, at least the engine will be a damn site more reliable than the petrol counterpart :D </whispers> -Wills :)

    P38 diesel cruise control.

    Only diesel P38's that are 99 or after have the EGR system so that's why you don't have the bits shown Steve. I also don't have EGR owing to the fact mine is a 98 model. -Wills :)

    Intercooler flushing.

    My completely random way out there guess would be something along the lines of if the engine ECU doesnt know whats going on with the EGR (whatever does go on with it) then it maybe uses a restricted set of fuel mappings or something as well as diasbling cruise control as it can't figure out how...

    hmm, figured it (I think) - it's to do with the EGR system on the 99-> diesel P38's. Its under the EGR section in Microcat, that little filter is shown along with the other bits and bobs shown in the pics above. -Wills :)

    dse overheating

    The other thought could be a hairline crack in the head opening up at high temps and pressurising the coolant and then blowing the rad?? This is what happened to me and I ended up with a new head, rad, water pump etc Was difficult to spot as it only happened at high temps. -Wills :)

    hmm, well that isn't your cruise control - not even the petrol versions of the P38 have that sort of setup for cruise control See Cruise Control Problems and Solutions for a picture of the cruise setup on a petrol. Can you provide any closer photos of the thing up the corner where the bubble...

    Intercooler flushing.

    Not surprised as my P38 also has cruise control but on the diesel versions of the P38 there were no cruise control pipes - it is all done electronically in the engine ECU rather than with vacuum pressure holding a throttle cable in the set position like on the petrol models. Can you post up...

    Intercooler flushing.

    how did you remove the intercooler, did you follow RAVE instructions, i.e., remove battery, ecm, battery box and go that way or can you skip most of those steps?? oh, and cruise control pipes - on a diesel?? :confused: -Wills :)

    Interior light switch?

    Don't leave it though - sort the switch out because as the vehicle thinks the door is open the EAS is, in effect, frozen - no height changes will take place nor will any self levelling happen. -Wills :)

    Manual Gear Knob P38

    to be honest, the answer is I dunno - I try to blank out any memories of driving my specialists courtesy car Freelanders as quickly as possible - sorry :( -Wills :)

    P38 windows/mirrors/sunroof wont work???

    Don't want to be rude but did you even try a little bit of a search on here before posting that question?? It comes up almost every 2 weeks, 99.9% of the time it is your window switch pack that is broken. Try and find another P38 to test your switch pack in and you will probably find that your...

    Cheapest source for a (new) blend motor set?

    To be honest, and others will probably disagree with me here BUT, if you can afford it (£170ish, maybe less now as VAT dropped) then replace all three (that is the dealers price including the 10% Allegiance discount). If two have gone bad then the third is probably not far behind, with the...

    The powerbox chip

    black smoke is unburnt fuel - the chip basically over fuels the engine which gives you the increase in power, the unburnt fuel appears as black smoke when 'flooring' it. Is there no setup instructions with the kit, no way to adjust the amount of power it adds?? -Wills :)

    the ****

    Like Irish said, check the engine fuse box, specifically also check F33 - should be a 5 amp fuse - this is the power supply to the diagnostic socket and can cause trouble for diagnostic machines if its blown. When you say the computers would not connect, what exactly happened?? Was he able to...
