Just a small tip, hindsite is a wonderfull thing! I stripped out the roofliner on my P38 this last summer, spend £100 on new material & the best hi-temp adheisive from Woolies, cleaned off ok, re-glued the new liner, BUT, I cut it to the edges of the molding as per original, BAD MOVE! Its...

Yes, it was the BECM that 'reset' itself after re-connection, maybe it will work for you, worth a try I would think! Also, I can disable the alarm & imobiliser on my 2.5 DSE via the Rovacom & the central-locking still works normally, I actually did for a few months simply to see what happened!!

135k, i'm second owner, got all bills etc. & NOTHING on engine, so I'm sure its original unit, not even had the head off!! '96' DSE However, replaced airbags, compressor, rad, gearbox ecu & headlining!!

I had similar problems about 5 years ago, tried everything already mentioned, sometimes I could get it working, others, not, also kept being locked-out, farted about with the key-codes, stripped all the locks/cleaned, latest reciever, found a supplier for a replacement ECU, & I was just about to...

I,m not too sure the 2.5TD should be fitted with the auto box, they,re down on power to begin with, then you go & lose a bit more with the auto option. My 2.5 DSE needs to be driven at above 2000-2500 RPM to get any meaningful performance from it, & I regularly pull a 2500kg 4-wheel trailer all...

Well guys, I'm sorry, but you're all WRONG!! That car is FANTASTIC! You've all totally missed the point, this fella has just invented the absolute worlds best ANTI-THEFT DEVICE for the P38!! Imagine this scenario, you park up outside a nighclub in Liverpool, come out several hours later, AND...

I fitted a 17" Kenlow to my DSE about 3 years ago, best thing I ever did!! This was after it blew the top off the radiator whilst towing a large, heavy 2-axle trailer up a steep hill in summer in a traffic-jam!! The Kenlow was bought with an ajustable stat, plus 2, hi & lo over-ride switches...

Don't use oils or 'back to black', its simply a silicone spray that only looks reasonable for a few days & as we all know, silicone is a sod to be rid of!! Get this from e-bay: Forever Black Dye Kit - Trim and Bumpers - A must have! on eBay (end time 12-Mar-11 18:45:02 GMT) Its a permenant ABS...

Only guessing here, but from my Rovacom, I can switch between mph & kph, so I wonder if yours has somehow changed from kph to mph?? If it were reading mph on a kph clockface, then it would show the needle at an apparent slower speed?? As for the hi-lo, I had a ecu burn out a few years back, &...

I'd try what DM68 said, several years ago, when I had battery problems, I had exactly as you, all sorts of weird going-on, & after phoning around, came accross a P38 'expert' who covinced me it was the BECM & he could supply a replacement for several hundred pounds!! So I duly disconnected it...

I had the same problem several years ago when replacing the battery, EKA code wouldn't work, ended up removing the door lock (a bit fiddly) couldn't strip it as such, so I drenched it with WD40 whilst vigarously 'working' the lock, loads of old, mucky oil/gunge came out & a can later, it was...

If you visited the site above, & typed in diesel range rover you will see its a C31-1000, I have no idea as to other manufactures/types etc. & its 135AH & 1000 CCA

I got it from these guys, Car Batteries, Cheap Car Batteries, Replacement Car Batteries, Next Day Delivery from Perfomancebatteries.co.uk paid by card, ordered afternoon, it was delivered free the next morning, how good is that, simply type in your cars details & you will get a couple of...

Just heard that the yanks have produced a land-mine that resembles a prayer-mat for the terrorists, they recon it'll go down like a bomb & that they'll be blown away with them!! (hopefully)

opps just re-read, you already did that, sorry. However, I never press the clutch, just come to a standstill, select neutral, then press the button, you might hear the 'clonk' from below & the message centre will indicate the ratio, if it still asks for neutral & you're already in, I suggest a...

No, it always tells you to select neutral, otherwise, it wont let you select hi or lo, bung her in neutral, then select, same deal when going back, quite normal!

Had my 2.5DSE for over 8 years now, been a great, enjoyable experience. Done most of the 'usual' RR jobs, airbags (4) compressor, discs/pads, blew a radiator, fitted a Kenlow 17" electric fan (fantastic now) & a new hi-lo ratio box ecu. A year into ownership I fitted a new battery,seemed ok for...

Hiya Gav, hows tricks? I too 'saved' someone yesterday, up on my factory estate, a large artic became stuck with spinning tractor wheels in 18" snow, I hooked a strap from him to my towbar & 'oiked' him out quite easily, I don't think any of my wheels even slipped, felt rather chuffed with...

I only keep my '96 2.5 DSE because its so GOOD on fuel.:D Whilst I liked the power of the V8s ( had 3 of them ) I didn't like the economy, or lack of!! Its coming up to 135K now, but I keep her in good fettle, change oils & filters regularly. Regular runs up & down the M1 with a ton or so...

I had the same problem with my Jag, it seems to be EXACTLY the same stuff, started to come away, then the lot dropped, eased it open & sprayed about 4 cans of adheisive, only for it to totally drop again the next hot day!! Ended up buying a new roll of genuine roof-lining & high-temp adheisive...
