Wound up the front passenger side window the other day, went up nice & quiet as usual, but when it got to the top, it obviously stopped, but the motor didn't & there was a loud 'Bang-Bang Bang from the mechanism as well as the window 'jumping' to the 'banging!! I imagine some sort of electrical...

Oh dear, another senior moment, its NOT the Wi-Fi, but the electric energy monitor thats on 433mhz 24/7,no more then 3 metres from the car, anyway, the solar panel on the dash has got it sorted now!!

OOps! Wrong keys pressed, should be 433mhz Sorrreeeee.

All I did when I fitted all 4 airbags, was to push-in the ferrules on the pipes going into the valve-block, whilst holding the pipe & slowly 'easing' it out of the housing, by doing this gently, the air in the system will 'pfffffsssttt out! But remember that the car will drop as you do this, so...

I too, had the same problem, fitted the latest RF Receiver,& checked that the BECM was going to sleep ok, but still had a drained (new 110A) battery. My Wi-Fi, garage-doors & gates operate on the same 455mhz frequency, maybe that has some effect. Completely solved now however, I bought a 2.5w...

I used to work with batteries & diesels, if a cell bubbles when cranking, its 'gassing'- read knackered!! Usually an end cell, but not always. there is a glowplug/timer next to the engine ECU behind the battery, this supplies power to the glowplugs for a few seconds as well as sending the signal...

I must had w 'weird' one, for my 2.5 always ran COOL, & when the viscous-fan failed, I removed it completely for several months, & it only got hot when towing my large box-trailer up the hills over the moors, so I fitted an 18" Kenlow fan with a 2 speed over-ride switch, now, for over 2 years...

I had exactly the same last year, the in-tank fuel pump had failed, & it was the fuel injection pump at the engine-end that was having to 'pull' the fuel from the tank, hence the bubbles. Try removing the fuel pipe at the filter, then switch on the ignition, there should be a few seconds of...

Pulled 'down' the wheel on my '96 P38 yesterday to get in to the crevasses to clean, when I set it back to the original position, I find it won't lock, it seems to loosely 'ratchet' when going up & down, but even with the adjusting lever right back, it still will not lock, so at the moment I...

It's a possible candidate for the in-tank pump, I had a similar problem last year, the pump didn't fail completely, but its motor was down on power & intermittent, when the tank was full, it relied on the injector-pump 'pulling' up the fuel, but when the level went down, it was just that bit too...

Mine LOOKED exactly like those, (no leaks) so last year I replaced all 4 to be on the safe-side, then I cut them open & found that all 4 were PERFECT inside!! Still glad I changed them though, & it only took 90 mins to do all 4.:)

Thanks for that, but i'm petrified of disconnecting the battery, when I fitted a new one last year, I connected a small 12 alarm batt & a couple of test-leads to the car, simply to keep the electronics 'alive', with my luck, I wont be able to re-sync the fob to the car & be in even more trouble...

Got home from work today only to find that I couldn't remote-lock it, got back in & restarted the car, & checked stuff, with the engine running the headlights & rear lights permanently on (lightswitch has no effect) rear windows work, but not the fronts,suspension goes from mid to high, but not...

Be very careful, even if buying a spare key from Land Rover, Keys 1 & 2 are different, AND they are a different colour, but only slightly, one is 'brown' the other is slightly black,its VERY easy to buy the wrong one, & it WILL NOT work, if you already have a 'No.1', then you must buy a 'No.2' &...

Well, apart from reading as much as you can on this forum, I'd start by starting it from cold, ign. on, wait for the red 'coil' light on the dash to go out, then start it.It should immediately fire up & settle to a smooth tick-over. While running & doors shut,push the suspension button in the...

I may be way off here, but my 2.5 DSE DID used to smoke upon 'booting-it' , but it doesn,t anymore. The ONLY thing i've done is to renew the pump in the tank, I had to as it failed big time, but since changing it, the car is totally different, goes like a rocket, 7 NO smoke!! The only thing I...

True, but it was FREE!!

I made mine from a sheet of black 'crackle' ABS works fine & it can be fitted & taken out in seconds.Or left in place permanently.

Hey modelman, you don't drive a gold P38 do you?? Passed a DSE towing today on the M1 and looked in and gave a wave, no response though. Hi if it was you Afraid not, if another 'Rangie' waves I will wave back.:) Mine is Rioja Red/Lightstone.
