No! haha, I went and shoved £80 in mine today, customer cancelled a job today (well I cancelled as they hadn't booked it in at their end properly), they are amazingly free tomorrow but my van is booked in for a service so I'll use my own car and claim mileage just typical I've filled up the...

This was giberish, see here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/p38-navigation-repair-guide.298587/

I see full on job then, I thought it was more the seats you were meaning! Looks like someone has had a full change over then.

What makes you think it has an SE or HSE interior?

Glad its generally going well!

OK... Vogue came in for the 2000 MY and as far as I can tell there was no option of a 4.6 HSE at this stage, as mentioned above the Vogue was ONLY a 4.6 (so any 4.0 or 2.5 vogues are not vogues) Satnav was NOT standard on a Vogue, I have a copy of a price list which lists that navigation was...

Alpine won't repair their P38 head units, I did find a company that will repair them but they dont promise a repair. Nexia loom very interesting, to be fair I looked a few years ago with my first P38 that was also an Alpine unit but the screen had died and it would no longer accept its unlock...

Although they are mainly separate systems the navigation instructions are given through the audio system so you will need the amp in good working order for that to work. However just changing the radio is not that easy on a high spec P38 I believe you will still need the factory amp to be in...

If I only I could see it!

Not sure why but I can only assume thats the case, they tell me its all swollen and gone weird. It never gets to a point where its impossible to move but its certainly stiff enough to become annoying.

I have the same issue at the moment, the garage have had a cursery glance at it and told me the selector cable has for some reason become coroded and swelled and advised I get it replaced. I have a replacement I got from ebay for £20 so its just a case of getting it fitted now. Mine is smooth...

If you swapped the battery without following the proper procedure you will need to reenter the EKA code to disarm the imobiliser. It won't make the car start in this case I dont think but it might let it turn over again. You need to speak to Rick the Pick and get it looked at properly, your...

Don't bother with a sport, its a D3 with less room inside! FF RR is the way forwards, although any reason for the dirty diesel? I found the SC models were often a better price and spec!

It will make the engine run hotter and you'll tend to loose the lubricating qualities of petrol. I'm not saying its gospel and there will be a million people who disagree, but all these slipped liners and HG issues on rover V8's, more often than not there's some gas been involved at some point...

My rough numbers come out at: 5k miles @ 15mpg on average on petrol - £1513 5k miles @ 13mpg on average on gas - £960 So you save £553 so its two years before you break even, not including the petrol you will need to use for it to start and the odd times you won't have gas etc. Also need to...

Yeah its fine now guys, smooth as silk as normal! Bloody thing must have just been frozen, in two years of owning my last one I never experienced it. But the Vogue does get left on the road where as the old HSE used to live on the drive.

Bit of a weird one this morning! Went out to the rangie to get some boxes of work stuff out of the boot, unlocked her totally fine went to press the boot button and it was stuck! Bloody thing so I gave it a bit of a firmer push and it gave a few mm but wouldn't move and certainly wouldn't make...

I can't for the life of me find it, but I once read about these L322 pre heaters and people looking for smells and IIRC it was the exhaust for the preheater had rotted away causing it to smoke and smell etc.

I have seen that airpump cause EML problems on other BMW's, my mum had a 523i touring the pump had failed on and it stank of petrol at startup until it was fixed. I don't recall what was done to fix the problem (if the pump had actually failed or not etc) but I know it made a big difference when...

Possibly secondary air pump not working/ valve stuck? As I understand it on cold start the secondary air pump is designed to essentially increase airflow through the exhaust after combustion has taken place in order to apparently burn of excess fuel before the cat in order to reduce emissions...
