    P38 brake accumulator changing question

    Haven't had to since. I think its the luck of the draw. You might not have to do it at all.

    P38 brake accumulator changing question

    I did mine last year. Fairly easy job but was bloody difficult to get the old one off. Get yourself an oil strap wrench to remove it. De-pressurise first as per Rave. I didnt bleed the brakes after doing it and its fine but it is probably a good idea to do it.

    no radio or hevac?

    Had the same problem myself Marc. Turned out that a garage left a screw sitting in the cigar lighter socket. Shorted out the HEVAC and radio and every time I replaced fuse 8, it would blow again. I would say it is more than likely a short issue in the cigar light socket but you said you...

    Cruise Control

    Hey Andy, I was looking into the same thing when I owned a 2.5DT also. The cruise control on the diesel is a fly by wire system and electronically controlled by the ECU so there are no bellows to fit.

    swap PETROL V8 for diesel

    Jurassic Park was a great movie :) Over here in Ireland, the diesel P38's far outnumber the V8's. I had a DSE and currently am running a 4.6 LPG. Love the V8...damn expensive to run thats why its my weekend toy :D

    Lamb under the bonnet?

    The noise that you are hearing is the ABS accumulator. Mine made the same noise and the brake,TC and ABS lights used to come on too. Replace with a new one and everything will be back to normal.

    CV Joint/Difflock question

    Thanks very much CharlesY. I havent had a chance get in there and see the extent of the damage. Definitely both CV joints are in need of replacing and possibly the swivel bearings but hopefully not the half shafts. Both have been clicking badly under lock and the swivel have been leaking...

    CV Joint/Difflock question

    Hey all, Just got my 95 Disco back after having the gearboxes and clutch done and thought that I would have gotten a few days driving out of it before something else went wrong :) But low and behold, driving into work this morning, the CV joints finally gave up the ghost. I sounds like one...

    1995 P38 2.5TD manual to electric seats

    Lads, I did this job last year to my 95 DT. I too tried eveywhere to get the info and then I found the solution. The solution is to buy the seat wiring loom from someone breaking a RR on E-bay. The guy that sold me the seats, gave me the loom. He even sent me a picture with all the...
