Thanks for the tip on the tow bar electrics as I do have a tow bar fitted, would never have thought of that so I will definitely take a look. Thanks Mark ref water in the lower tailgate, yesterday I did remove the cover and checked all the connections to the rear lamps, bone dry. I also...

Bit of a strange one, hoping somebody may have had this problem before! Came downstairs the other morning, was around 6am and noticed some red flashing lights through the window! I thought what's that so went to investigate and it was my P38 Range Rover (its a V8 97MY if that helps), both the...

Found the problem today, was a light green wire from the BECM to the A post connector. I checked the other connector first as it housed the two feeds/earths to the outstation but they were fine. Then started checking continuity from the BECM to the other side of the connector which connects to...

Could not see anything obvious with the wiring but only did a quick check, will need to look at it more in depth when I get sometime. What did happen today was driving along and I could hear a clicking noise coming from inside the door! Then it stopped but still no window, door lock or mirror...

Firstly car is a 1997 P38a. Went out last night, come home,locked car with the fob everything was working fine. Came out this morning, pressed the fob to unlock the car and the front drivers side door did not unlock (the other 3 did). Opened the driver door with the key to get in. Started...

I had exactly this problem last year, was a corroded fuel pipe, had to drop the tank and ended up replacing both pipes.

Yes I borrowed a battery charger off a friend, I think it was an Acctiva Professional, it looked expensive anyway! Read the instructions and found a mode called refresh which is used to charge the battery if it is suspected that the battery has been deeply discharged (e.g. battery sulphated)...

Fitted a new alternator today, car starts and runs great now! At idle I get 14v at the battery terminals, when I switch on the lights, heater, heated screen the voltage drops to 13.6 regardless of whether the engine is at idle or 2000rpm. Is this voltage sufficient to charge the battery or do...

Ok thanks, never had a diesel so no idea if its the same alternator/regulator as a petrol

Went outside this morning, checked the battery voltage and it was 12.4, started the engine and watched the voltage on my multimetre dropping, when it got to under 10v I switched the engine off before it cut out itself. Soon as the engine is switched off the voltage on the multimetre starts to...

Driving home yesterday and suddenly started to get messages on the IPK, gearbox fault, alarm fault etc then the ABS light came on, then the speedo and tacho started going all over the place then the IPK stopped working, I thought the engine had cut out but it was still running, however around a...

Thank you for the replies, doesn't sound like my poverty model is missing much without TC then :D I will take a look at Ashcrofts just out of interest.

Appreciate this is an old thread but rather then start a new one thought I would reply to this one after doing a search! My P38 must be a 'poverty' model, just looked at the part number on the modulator on my P38 and it shows ANR2238 so no traction. Just for my own learning is it better to...

Agree, especially if you have to remove the complete bumper just to re-attach them! I definitely do not want to remove the bumper, read a few horror stories on here regarding brackets/fixings corroded etc making it a nightmare to get the bumper back on so dont want to go down that path!

Ok thanks, I really don't want to remove the complete bumper! I will have to find an alternative way to re-attach them. Crap design IMO if you cant re-attach the clips.

Quick question that I hope someone can answer. Are the two (coloured) rear bumper inserts at the side of the bumper easy to remove or does the whole bumper have to be removed to gain access to remove them? Just thought Id ask before potentially breaking them trying to get them off. Thanks

how many do you need, I think I have a couple in my shed somewhere

Hi, I have a 1998MY P38a Range Rover and I want to fit some front seats out of a 2000MY into my car, does anybody no if this can be done, is it a straight swap if the complete seat is replaced, will it bolt straight in? Not worried about difference in wiring etc, just need to know if the...

So my car is a 1997 4.0 petrol so will have 2 pin diffs fitted. Can anybody tell me what the actual difference is internally between 2 pin and 4 pin diffs? Is it possible to make a current 2 pin diff into a 4 pin? Thank you

Thanks wammers, I have done some research and reverse mirror dipping is apparently enabled when the presence of a drivers seat seat memory outstation is detected so as you say I need to find a second hand switch pack first, then I guess it plugs into the BECM.
