If you live in Lancaster, I would recommend traveling down to Preston to Independent Land Rover Services on Murray Street. I can vouch for these guys personally. Give Noel a ring on 01772 555634. ATB

Hi If you find your nearest gate and railing manufacturer or small steel fabricators, I am sure they will add the bits you need galv'ing to their next order for a few shillings.

As far as I understand the problem I had (and many other P38 problems), then yes, clearing faults logged will solve problems. The fault was loss of voltage. You have resolved that problem, but the fualt has been logged & sync has been lost between the GEMs & BCEM. Clearing the fault &...

Hi Sorry for not replying to your earlier question (out at work) but glad Datatek answered you. Have you got sorted yet? If not, why not try asking to see if one of the good members of LandyZone is close to you and has a diagnostic kit & could sort you out for a few beer tokens. ATB S.G.

If all the dash lights come on etc on turning on the ignition, but engine does not crank over, I am with the above view...it is out of sync. Mine did just the same last month. Onto autologic & job was a good un in mimutes. Been fine since. Good luck.

Thanks for that advise Datatec. From the post above, I take it that you do not recommend disconnecting the receiver (1996 vehicle)

Hi there Datatek I am sure I have the same problem as the OP (due to fequent loss of battery power (and associated sync issues), N.S. lock going on the fob & then O.S. following last week). I was thinking of posting the same question, and awaiting a similar answer this weekend but have been...

Just been out in the vehicle again, and know why I can put up with its "quirky" electrickery bits.... its bloody good to drive. Have been giving chase to a pair of numptys trying a spot of off roading on private land :mad: Yes, thanks for that recomendation. The very same thought went through...

Many thanks for all your replys. Well put the vecicle on autologic today & it turned out ther was a break in a security link from the bcem to gems. Fault cleared & she started a treat. The noise i was hearing was from the bcem, but no power going through to the gems. My wife can't understand...

I guessed you can't tap too much on p38s like I have been doing on series rovers for donkey's years, but I'm sure that noise is a relay not doing something it should be.

Hi Well I didn't think the battery was an issue (only about 6 week old exide type) and had no problems with drain etc since i've owed the vehicle, but had it on charge overnight anyway. Went to it today, all the same (and usual) start up beeps, lights & abs pump noises, but when it comes to...

Thanks for yur reply datatek battery showing good on multi meter Key fob opened up doors ok, so would this show that rf receiver is ok? Apperently the ECU is set in Japan spec to eliminate lock out problems that a previous owner had in past. The clunk i mentioned from under the seat sounds like...

Evening all. Just opened up my 4Ltr P38, put key in (it beeped at me as usual, all lights came on dash in ignition setting (as normal), turned key to start & CLUNK from a relay?? from under drivers seat. Engine did not turn over. The vehicle has been parked on drive all week in sunshine for a...

Hi I have a '96 4Ltr manual that i picked up last March. It used to be 1 of 4 police training vehicles at Lancashire HQ.

Many thanks for your replys fellas. I will pass on your views to him later. He is away on holiday at the moment & saw the vehicle in a dealers whilst driving around. He has no internet access in his caravan, so will advise him to search the forum for further info when he gets home at weekend...

Evening all. My dad has seen a 2003 plate, 3 litre auto TD6 HSE auto for sale for 10k & is quite interested. It has covered 88000 miles & has FSH. Does anyone have any advise on the pros & cons of such a vehicle. Thanks for looking & hope to hear some pearls of wisdom soon. ATB S.G.

Just tell Mark or Barb that Farrar "the knob" told you it was OK. They will understand

I have just been speaking to the organisers tonight (who seemed a bit pi$$ed).... but apparently, anyone who turns up with a packet of Mr Kipling cakes or some garibaldi biscuits & tells them that they are a friend of mine gets in for FREE. Give it a go & party on!!!
