Went to a LR specialist in Galway today and he had a look. Didn't think it would be anything major, rather something like a bracket come loose on the exhaust. Didn't put it on a lift as he had another car on there, and he understandably didn't dare crawling underneath to have a proper look as my...

Okay on startup this morning she makes the noise when cold so has nothing to do with temperature apparently

Thanks! That sounds a lot more high pitched than what I have, but same kind of frequency.

Yeah that was my first idea but then I gather that this usually starts occuring after overheating and she didn't overheat, at least not in the last 2 yrs. I'll try to fins somewhere to crawl underneath tomorrow thanks! I think that's just for the diff no? Anyway in the meantime I noticed...

So my P38 developed some engine noise today.. It makes this noise at idle, regardless of the gear selected (P, N R, D,...). Seems to change frequency with revving however to me it sounds not like it is following the engine revs proportionally. If I set off driving it's there until about 20 to...

Well now that you mention it.. the car did have some kind of microphone thing on the A pillar trim, with a cable disappearing in the dash. So you may be right! I thought it was for some kind of Parrot style handsfree kit.

Thanks everyone! I'll keep it as a period detail and possible get a CB set on the car some time! I'll reseal the mount to stop the rusting.

Hi all, I have this weird broken off antenna in the roof of my '99 p38. It has only got 1 rear quarter window with an antenna in btw, the right side. In the roof there's an another antenna with a cable running to the front and going into the dash. It looks aftermarket to me but I can't...

Indeed! Too bad, because I could sure use a parts car.. Thanks everyone for the suggestions so far! Fyi what I need is: - left hand tail light pre 99 - battery cover incl screws - instrument cluster surround - ivory/beige interior trim bit that goes between the carpet and sill on the front...

Thanks for the tip! I had that issue and cut a bit more off, then used a coupler and a bit of new pipe. I used this style of coupler, actually works really well and I think it's much more reliable than any of the push fit repair couplers you can get.

Hi all, I will be making a one day trip to Kent from the continent the coming weeks. I would like to combine this with maybe sourcing a few parts that are hard to find over here. Anyone in that area breaking a p38, or know of someone breaking one? Also if anyone in that area has the EAS...

I think at 140€ the dryer is not cheap! I opened mine, it seemed still okay so I'll leave it for bow and get the X8R kit. I can still change it if I find white powder in the valve block. I've got four new bags on there and replaced the ends of the pipes on the bags side at the front. I will...

Hi all, I will be repairing my valve block as the suspension behaves a bit weirdly from time to time and it sinks when sitting. I was wondering which kit to get. I have found two kits: - https://x8r.co.uk/range-rover-p38-eas-air-compressor-seal-liner-valve-block-o-ring-diaphragm-kit.html -...

Thanks everyone! The trailer does not have led lights and from what I could see it's an original tow hitch with original wiring. I was thinking that too high current would be the problem as I have double side marker lights on the trailer. Both are spliced into the corresponding's trailer...

Hi all, I am trying to find out how the BECM determines if a bulb has blown. What are the parameters it looks at? I have a trailer and each time I use it I get the error 'RH Tail Light Bulb Failure' and it shuts off all RH tail lights. Which is super annoying. Also there is no blown bulb...

I finally got round to finishing this jobs, with some detours and unexpected work. The error doesn't come back, everything is fine again! Happy days!

Remember that the pipe is still there ;) so you would need a hollow tap. Or is that what you found?

I am pleased to report it worked! I bought a standard m20x1.5 tot 1/4" hydraulic adaptor fitting and cut some slots in the thread. Also had to drill out the ID a little bit (to 17mm). Worked a treat!! New cooler installed! 6.81€ for the fitting vs 60+€ for the hose and X hours of labour. I'm...

I tried heat and tried scraping some of the aluminium out of the threads. Managed to dislodge all the corrosion and some of the old thread. A bit still left however, don't feel comfortable using it as is. I have in the mean time determined that this is a standard m20x1.5 thread, apparently...

Yeah, but that means lowering the gearbox as far as I can see. Not in for that, just got everything back together after getting to the parking pawl assembly. The threads on the pipe are not damaged but just full of old aluminium thread from the cooler. I was hoping for some magic tap or...
