Even though I prefer pdfs which I can print I would be interested in that for all the info that is not in the pdfs on the web! So teah that would be helpful! In the meantime I found a complete pdf of the ETM but I still don't like the way it's structured. I am used to VW diagrams which are...

Thanks! Hmm might have to search for a better pdf of the etm then, mine seems to be missing the part with component locations at the back. I'll have a look!

I am desperately looking for electrical diagrams for my 1999 thor P38. I've searched the webzz and found a Land Rover publication called 'Electrical Troubleshooting Manual' which does contain electrical diagrams but seems to treat each system differently and gives no info on component location...

Today after a couple of months of driving around (after 10yr off the road) I had to crawl under my P38 again to change the trailer socket. It veers dangerously when hitting potholes. I suspect that the steering is not centralised (still need to check) but I also suspected the steering damper to...

Sounds like a tractor

Good to know! I'll keep an ear out for the ticking noise as mine has 266k km. Barely broken in ;)

Really would surprise me if there's a blockage because I flushed it out with tap water. I also blew it out with compressed air through the outlet of the heater core, quite thoroughly. (I changed coolant types). But I think that may have been the issue. I blew every last drop of coolant out...

Solved it!! Water pump was not damaged, was one with a brass pump wheel so I'm keeping it as a spare. Probably not necessary to have changed it. It was indeed glued in with loads of silicone/RTV. I don't think changing it was what solved my issue. On recommendation of a friend I did not fill...

Hmmm and what about Triple Sports 🤔 Kinda like the look as a hint towards the classic RR. I'decided 16 inch will be the best choice but 18 inch allows me to get the tyre I want, the Michelin CrossClimate2: Seem to have a thread which would be somewhat competent on grass and gravel/dirt

There's no flow going through the bleeding line back to the header tank. If I squeeze the top hose there's gurgling. I'm going to replace the water pump even though I don't know if it's bad or not. It's not expensive and seems reasonably easy to do. The car has been sitting for 10 years so...

Yeah I've blown that out multiple times. Will I get a stream of coolant through that pipe if there's an airlock?

I'm starting to suspect the water pump is bad, based on other forum posts I find. Bit strange as I didn't have the overheating problem before changing the coolant, but also didn't run the engine long. Any idea how to test the water pump if there is an air lock?

So I thought this one was closed but alas it isn't. Tonight a mechanic friend came to pick up the car for its Belgian equivalent of the MOT, which is required to pass before you can register a car. 10mins driving and the temperature was in the red. Still a lot of air in the system it seems...

I went to look at the one with the Hurricane wheels and its a complete shed 😅 Right rear quarter window broken and stored like that outside for half a year, luckily against a wall... Lots of mould inside. Only pro is that it has the rear seats and they're in good nick. (Context: in Belgium...

FYI here are pics of the Mondials and Hurricanes on similar p38 (colour & year). Mondials: Hurricanes:

One is a '97, the other I don't know yet. They're diesels, mine's a petrol. Mostly buying it for interior parts, wheels and the rear seats. Idea is to pick/swap what I need and sell it. Yeah they're a factory 18" wheel, the ones that are star shaped. I quite like them but I also like the...

Hi all, I'm looking into buying a parts car (p38) and have two options at the moment. One has Hurricane wheels, the other has Mondials. Just wondering which of the two are the most desirable/valuable wheels?

Original housing with new button inside?

The tailgate button on my green p38 was f'ed. They pulled out wires and you needed to open it by touching one of the wires to the body. Today I learned why they did that I need a new one. Ahh yes my bad, my post was not clear... I meant I wouldn't worry about disconnecting the battery and...

I would take the alternator off. That's actually quite easy. I wouldn't worry about disconnecting the battery, I'had no issues with it. Just a bit of a faff to reset the window limits etc.
