    Stripped thread on P38 wheel nut

    I'm looking into this now elsewhere on the forums and 'net generally, but on the P38 was down to the last alloy to switch round, and the head just spins on the bolt, won't tighten, won't undo- what is the most reliable method of removal?

    P38 sticks on high suspension setting

    I mean it doesn't drop automatically whilst in motion, and wading height. And todays' prize for "Most arrogant prat on the internet" goes to tomacat59alan, who is clearly a well known member, when that term applies to a part of the anatomy

    P38 sticks on high suspension setting

    Another post on airbag suspension issues, my 1997 P38 rises fine, but goes up to what I guess must be max, and won't drop again- hence the ride is actually fine, but what looks like a rather big gap between the tyres and the arches; I'm reasonable with straightforward mechanical stuff but I'm...

    300 tdi drivetrain issue / noise

    I recently picked up a replacement 90 300tdi, 99 plater, (that had fairly extensive service history), and drove it some 250 miles home. I'd checked the usual levels in the engine bay but not axles, gearbox / transfer etc- a mistake maybe but you hope with loads of paperwork that all this has...

    P38 diesel leak

    Hi, I am new to this specific area of the forum, having not owned a Range Rover for some years. I recently bought a '97 DSE that looked to be in sensible shape; this am drove it about 5 miles and stopped at a service station, and in the space of minutes a pool of fuel had formed on the...

    Steering issue on 1988 90

    Hi,first posting for a long while but have had a spell away from Land Rover. I recently acquired a 1988 200tdi from Wiltshire (I'm in Kent), based on it being in good running order but found at any speed over 40 coming back, the steering is nothing short of alarming, responsiveness is really...

    P38 overheating issue

    With regard to total weight towed, one 14HH pony plus the HB510 is well within the load recommended- as pointed out in another reply, you get cars pulling this sort of thing. I'm interested in other people's good / bad experiences under load?

    P38 overheating issue

    I recently bought a P38 Rangy diesel 2.5 after a long break from Land Rovers, and realise i may have made an error in thinking the 2.5 is up to the job of towing a double horse trailer. Have had the 1996 model for two or three days, had no problem with it driving without load on the flat, but...

    Biodiesel starting problem on Freelander

    Having bought a 98 Freelander Di (and checking that they are pretty much ok on biodiesel), I promptly put a couple of gallons in. The car has stood for about a week and started ok previously on derv, now...it doesn't? Evidently this seems to be a fuel problem and not a previously unknown issue...

    4.6 on LPG-a safe bet?

    Thanks to all for advice, does sound like although the S plate car mentioned has sold quickly, could have been expensive to sort out..I have considered a diesel but the prices are generally stronger and I don't mind admitting that burbling around in a hefty V8 (never owned one) does have a...

    4.6 on LPG-a safe bet?

    Is the standard road tax only applicable with a Government approved and checked lpg set-up, or do you know if that is normal with any 4.6 Rangy of that age that has had a kit bolted on it?Thanks

    4.6 on LPG-a safe bet?

    Thanks people, I get the message here-I'm assuming coolant levels are not what they should be when this occurs, and if you correct that there is not a serious problem necessarily, but there could be otherwise. Otherwise the general gist is that a 4.6 is an ok buy if you are careful? Sadly the...

    4.6 on LPG-a safe bet?

    Hi, i am new to the forums so i will do a brief intro before asking just a couple of questions. I have owned two Landies before going on to Hilux trucks, and though i love the reliability of the pick up i frequently need more than two seats and more interior space. A 4.6 Autobiography with lpg...
