Unfortunately it's not possible to re-program the key fobs. You can still buy a genuine key fob from JLR for about £250.

I have owned my 2001 Vogue for twelve years & for the first six years of ownership never encountered a single problem with it responding to the key fob. I then moved from a detached house in a rural location with parking on the drive into a house in town where I had to park on the street. Until...

I once managed to drop my only key fob down the side of the driver's seat while getting out of the car at work. I'm still not entirely clear on the sequence of events but must have caught the lock button as I dropped the fob & the door slammed shut. I called out the RAC & the guy very quickly...

I had been contemplating a drive to Somerset but adding the cost of a 400 mile trip made the cost a bit too high so was pleased to find https://www.aldersclassics.co.uk/ much nearer to me just south of Norwich. They charged me £299 to replace the headlining on my P38 & did a beautiful job. I...

Funnily enough even when it was chugging like an old tractor the performance & fuel consumption were unaffected.

When I took my P38 to V8 Developments I drove it with a blowing head gasket the 120 miles to Lincolnshire. It sounded like an old tractor & turned heads as I drove through towns & villages all along the way through Essex & Suffolk.

A Nanocom is not tied to a single VIN but for P38 you buy a code for either GEMS or Motronic or Diesel but it will then work for all GEMS etc.

This is very good value for a stainless steel exhaust system. Unfortunately they don't do a stainless front box so I had to get a regular mild steel one. https://www.gravityperformance.co.uk/product/exhaust/cat-back-exhaust-system-range-rover-p38-mk2-v8-td-94-02/

Here is the thread that I started a few years ago when I needed to get a photo of the chassis number so that JLR would issue me a Certificate of Conformity that I needed while re-registering my P38 in France. Finding it caused me a lot of head scratching before I finally was able to find &...

The small Nanocom touch screen can be irritating but I think that the convenience of the device always being in the glove compartment makes up for that. Storey Wilson's EAS Unlock software runs on Windows (can be via a VM on a Mac) & the free V3 version is much nicer than a Nanocom for...

My go to for A/C recharge is always the Groupon deal that ATS have been running for years. Current price is £41.99 https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/ats-euromaster-6

I just had V8 Developments do a full rebuild on my 4.6L & it's now running as sweet as a nut. It's odd looking under the car at the shiny aluminium engine with no oil leaks.😀 They kept the car for an inordinate number of months but the wait was worth it. The engine had done 175,000 miles. I turn...

The recommendation I got from V8 Developments after they rebuilt my engine was an oil change with Valvoline VR1 Racing 20w-50 after 1,000 miles then every 5,000 miles after that.

At 150,000 miles my P38 started to overheat & in desperation I used Steel Seal which fixed the problem & lasted 25,000 miles before the head gasket started blowing. I then had V8 Developments rebuild my engine which now runs as sweet as a nut with no overheating & no oil leaks. If you are...

Is Sudbury in Essex too far for you? I can thoroughly recommend Jamie at the Auto Barn 01787282448 He owns a P38 himself...

It's only the passive immobiliser that you switch off with the Nanocom ie the one that switches on if you don't start within thirty seconds of unlocking with the fob. You can switch off the EKA but this isn't necessarily a good idea...

As far as I know it's only possible to use a Nanocom/Faultmate to turn off EKA and immobiliser on the diesel. It is possible to disable the immobiliser on the V8 but that involves soldering a board onto the engine ECU...

I too would like recovery to my home address but there doesn't seem to be any way to obtain it. The best that I found was recovery to a value of up to €300 for a higher insurance premium. It doesn't seem possible to improve on that. I live in Brittany so €300 wouldn't go very far if the car...

Have you found a decent solution for recovery in France? I have the usual "recover to nearest garage" cover with my French motor insurance but sorely miss the equivalent of RAC/AA/Green Flag etc

I can't help with the OP but I too had to remove the originals due to corrosion & am looking for new side steps. I found these quite nice looking ones for £290.50 that even include free fitting https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253492694920 but these rather flashy ones at £160.58 + £23.80 shipping seem...
