Had to use that first journey as head blew to bits day I bought it and my mate towed me off the M4 600 yrds from home. Dragged it down south with the 110 to my garage and replaced engine, apart from some rf issues had plodded on quite nicely the last 6 years. Best dust off the parts washer and...

I'll give that a go today but not to far from home, maybe throw the pushbike in the back so at least I can cycle to the pub while waiting for the mrs to bring out the defender,

Yes, thanks, another lucky one, only needed recovery once in over 35 years and if I knew then how to slip some welding rods in alongside the worn splines of a 110 output shaft I would have got home then as well.:)

Thanks to all for your words of wisdom, just got home and unpacked, probably the quickest I have ever done that journey as I had to keep it in lockup to avoid the dreaded slip, sounded like I was on and the rumble strip on the motorway depending on the drive load I may have an issue with the VC...

I agree, best send the wife on the train as she will be a nervous wreck after about two roudabouts pulling away slower than an asthmatic snail

Hi I am about 100 miles from home and workshop, do I risk the journey or get recovered? I started having trouble pulling away will only move off slowly, seems ok once up to 40 MPH cruised down motorway at 50 to 55 MPH pulled into services to check ATF level ( I know this should be done cold but...

Thanks again Datatek a great help as always

Checked it out is it the Nanocom Evolution?

Do you know where I can get this done or how to get the equipment to do it myself as I intend to have one of these problematic p38 Range Rovers for the foreseeable future might as well get the right equipment to fix things myself

Thank you all so much for your knowledge and advise, I paid £1650 for this p38 back in april and the head blew apart on the run home from where I got it then so I fitted a second hand lump that I bought for £450 then the Viscose coupling failed so another bill £280 and a day fitting that and...

Thanks guys for the info and if I had my way I would not go to any shops as I can buy all I need online. As for the locks burning out they have never worked since I bought the thing so it looks like a new rf receiver and both front lock motors, any idea on the costs?

Hi need help again, when I park in Staines town centre I get engine disabled but have not had the problem anywhere else. I am running with rf antenna disconnected and using key in door to lock and unlock as have had battery drain issues in the past and have had no probs in months until we went...

Thanks tomcat for the useful info. As for the wife situation. Three times is less hassle than a P38

Let me make myself perfectly clear on this one, (there is every chance of me getting my important little places rearranged for life here) but here goes, I have always run an old or should I say an older vehicle than anybody my wife may communicate with, but buy a P38 for your wife and try and...

You guys are all great, one thing you can be sure of is that I will not be moving house I'm on my third wife already!!! but I will be leaving the Range Rover on a farm tomorrow for a few days so I will reconnect the klaxon and see if we have a problem with the pigs and sheep having a sleepless...

Door motors already failed so disconnecting blue wire (from where?) will not inconvenience me any more than I am already

Thanks all. Where my friend lives there is no driveway but allocated parking will move it to the street and see if that makes a difference, in the allocated parking area it is surrounded by terraced houses on three sides so wifi could be the key. any other fixes other than parking elswhere?

Ok I need some help here, I am staying at a friends house in berkshire and on four separate times today neighbours have called to say the lights are flashing on my 1998 p38 after the first instance I disconnected the klaxon. I have had no issues with the alarm when parked on my drive, then I...

I did not want to have the auto box or the transfer box out as they seem ok just the vcu seized and a bit of play in prop uj so no need to remove either box as things are thanks to all for your valued advise

thanks for your opinion I will probably buy new as I normally do but having had the luck I had with the engine I bought off ebay ( a real peach compared to the lump that did not make it home on the day of purchase ) less than 100 miles and bang whoosh a cloud of oil and steam less than a mile...
