    P38A P38 rattle at idle

    Well I didn't crawl underneath to do all the checks as the noise was gone friday morning. Aaand it was ****ing down the last few days I was in Ireland so I didn't feel like crawling around in the mud to look for something making a noise that wasn't there. I didn't feel movement in the crank...

    Alright thanks, I'll find a rock to crawl onto tomorrow and have a look.

    Hmm okay thanks! And it is visible if its broken through the bell housing inspection hole?

    P38A P38 rattle at idle

    Well the noise is there even on an ice cold engine so I guess I'm good with regards to the liners. The car has run on LPG before but that system has been completely removed. What does the flexplate do? Never heard of it.. BUT the sound does remind me of a broken dual mass flywheel, which the...

    P38A P38 rattle at idle

    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.

    P38A P38 rattle at idle

    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...

    P38A P38 rattle at idle

    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...

    P38A Weird antenna

    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.

    P38A Weird antenna

    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.

    P38A Weird antenna

    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...

    P38A Which EAS repair kit to get?

    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.

    P38A Looking for p38 parts in Kent area

    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...

    P38A Which EAS repair kit to get?

    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...

    P38A Which EAS repair kit to get?

    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 -...

    P38A Bulb Failure message preconditions?

    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...

    P38A Bulb Failure message preconditions?

    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...
