    Does it have a rubber doughnut in the rear propshaft, if so it could be breaking/cracking up. Might be an idea to check your engine and gearbox mountings also..

    P38A cooling issue

    1. Radiator could be partly blocked allowing partial flow only (flow test appeared OK), the problem is you need to be able to feel the front of the radiator by hand to check for hot/cold spots and with the aircon in the way its hard. 2. Bottom hose could be internally delaminating allowing...

    'Death Wobble' Begone......

    All steering drop arms are the same no matter what vehicle or model they're fitted too, either they fall off easily or are complete bast**d's.

    'Death Wobble' Begone......

    Loosen and back off the drop arm nut, then use a 2 legged hydraulic puller to apply the pulling force and then shock the drop arm by the taper with a hammer. It should just pop off the taper spline.

    P38A Question about door handle

    I'm fairly sure the handle itself doesn't reads the key code, the lock barrel for the key blade is built from the key blade record that Land Rover have in their record for the vehicle. The key-code transmitted by the key fob, is read or received by another part of the locking system.

    P38A What Battery?

    I took the Range out for a run of about 5 miles on Wednesday after replacing the voltage regulator, I then reset the SRS warning light, so far it appears to be staying off. You can replace the regulator unit without even removing the alternator from the engine, just disconnect the -ve battery...

    P38A What Battery?

    I've just replaced the battery (a Platinum 642 1000cca) on my Range Rover with a second one after 4 1/2 years, having read this thread regarding batteries using calcium in the plates composition. I checked Platinum's web site it appears all their batteries now use a Calcium composition in the +...

    Rrclassic 3.9 1990 front axle off centre after rebuild

    With a vehicle like the Range Rover that has a vast amount of suspension travel compared to normal vehicles. I prefer to just nip up the suspension bolts until all the vehicles weight is back on the wheels, then take it out for a run around the block to let everything settle and then finally...

    P38A What to fix next..?

    I'd lift the suspension to full height and check the bottom of all the air-bags for cracking just where the rubber curls under, if there's cracks in the rubber a new set of 4 Dunlop Airbags plus fitting clip kit from Island 4x4 costs about 250.00, but will save you loads of grief in the long...

    BMW diesel timing chain tool(P38 diesel)

    The one I looked at about 5/6 years ago, then they were about the 100/120 quid + postage for the kit, plus the other bits worked out to about 140/150 quid with postage, I didn't bother then but being as the kit is cheap atm, why not...

    BMW diesel timing chain tool(P38 diesel)

    Already have the adaptor and a several dti's for use on/with my lathe. Sometimes without a reference point (the mug), what you get for your beer tokens can be a let down at times (and I'm referring to the cam timing kit here...o_Oo_Oo_O). Only really posted the picture just in just there's...
