Just tried to jump the starter and click and the HEVAC lights, dash and gear change LED's all dim on turning the key. Jumping directly from the positive on the battery won't turn the starter. I'm guessing it's seized.

I reckon I must have too. Probably a solder bridge not flowed properly. Hard to do with a fat tipped iron (my good one is in the UK unfortunately). I'll re do it once I'm home :D Thanks Wammers but the blades are marked 30, 85, 86 & 87 on my R6MD relay

I'll check that later Wammers, thanks. Maxi fuse is ok. I have an emergency jumper cable made up and want to know which holes (pins) to jumper to see if the compressor will run. I can't make it run using Nano, but until this fuse box problem it has been spot in since overhauled and repaired.

Battery charged and refitted. Click. But I can start and run the car by jumping the solenoid on the starter - so we can get home. New fusebox is in French Poste somewhere. EAS compressor isn't activating so maybe it's relays and my fuse box repair may not be 100%. Tank has been filled up at the...

Installed repaired burned and loose positve post fusebox, fingers crossed, turn the key ............ glow plugs light...............click F**K!! AAAARGH. Multimeter out - 11.5v on the battery. Hmm ok lets try jumping it. No change, click from the fuse box - realised not hearing anything from the...

All hooked up, click from the starter relay, but I didn't hear anything from the starter solenoid. I also think that due to the cold spell and being sat for quite a few days the battery is now showing 11.5v so it's on charge. Ah the challenges of a P38 :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Thanks Dan. I hope so too hahaha

What a crap job. :rolleyes:

Ok - box repaired as per Range Rover world repair how to , buzzed out and no cold solder joints. 30w iron will not melt the LR solder (or whomsoever made the fuse box pcb). I had to go and purchase a 60w iron. Cut every link desoldered and removed every bridge. Took a guess on the diameter of...

Thanks Keith, good info. Got 3/4's of one ceiling done, much fun with old oak beams everywhere that are all wibbly wobbly PS: that's 25 m2 of one room with quite a few to go

Only problem is my mate has a VW Passat and I wouldn't like to attempt being towed by it. I'll wait. To be honest I'm a bit p@ssed off as the Royal Mail tracking number whereabouts hasn't been updated, apparently it's not left the post office it was handed into yet. Which is probably b*ll*cks...

Me too. I realised that last night. I just hope the Royal Mail and French poste synchronise

Thanks Ian, good to know. I did take out insurance cover for Europe but apparently I didn't select breakdown recovery - which was not an option when I did my insurance... at least it's only 2 miles if I need depannage :D

It's in the post - hooray! Checked the RM tracking and apparently it hasn't ever moved - boo! So now it's a waiting game. Had an offer of a tow back from the village, it's up hill all the way apart from the last 200m downhill to our house. Apart from the F11 fuse for being towed I'm sure that...

Update: correct YQ fusebox on the way via family in Winsford then fast as possible to France. Ebay won't let the item be posted to France even though the seller does international selling. I phoned the seller, paid for the item and he posted it within the hour. Top guy Thanks to those that have...

Hi Datatek, Rochechouart is the location. Have spoken with Wammer's and pre 1999 fuseboxes are different layout and won't work. Ref soldering stuff my problem is getting to places now. The train station isn't far but there are not many trains a day and no idea about buses. Thank you for your...

Yep more than likely hahahaha. It did enjoy getting lost up a wooded lane in the dark with a trailer. Outstanding vehicle off road. The trailer was heavy and it was a 180 in the woods to get out with a few humps behind the trailer. I got Gripmax AT's fitted for this trip and the P38 shoved that...

Thanks Dan I really appreciate the offer mate. I've bought one already but got one lined up here in France in case it can't be delivered here.:D:cool:

Bloody car. So my wife drives to the village for the morning bread run, parks up, buys bread gets back into car. Turns key. Click. Turns key again. Click. Walks 2.5 miles back home. So I walk back this afternoon to inspect (intuition is now saying fuse box must be todays gremlin). Open the...

Codeine and about 8 cups of coffee on a course I was on. There was 6 hours gap between taking the codeine and driving. Felt fine then got a bit strobe lighty with the motorway traffic, won't be doing that again!
