I was taking something out of the back of my P38 and managed to snap off the trim from the top of the lower tailgate. I left it in the back intending to refit it at some point. The curly-haired general used my car to go to the tip and chucked the trim away with the rest of the stuff (can't...

A couple of months ago, I changed the glow plugs on my '99 P38 DSE. I removed the inlet manifold (checked the gaskets but didn't change them) to get decent access. When I put it all back together having checked everything was serviceable and correctly fitted, I took it for a test drive. It...

Hi all, This breather dropped out of the underside of my car a couple of days ago (1999 P38 DSE). I have been all over and underneath looking for a hole and a pipe missing a cover...nothing. I have looked at every picture in the RR manual...nothing. Do any of you experts recognise it...

Hi, thanks for your response. When I connect my laptop, there is only one port that will work. When using that port I can initialise and get a good idle indicator with the right figures. I can, as far as I am aware, do everything I need to do such as unlocking the EAS, switch the compressor...

Today I have re-stripped the compressor, checked the system for leaks again and cleaned the pins on the connector to the driver pack. Once I had finished, I started the system and waited (with the door open) once I shut the door, nothing happened for some time, then it raised a bit, then...

Hi Wammers, I am fairly certain that the connection is fine, I do have a good idle indicated. I don't think the problem lies there, I am pretty sure it is within the EAS itself. I am wondering if it might be the computer module given the symptoms and the fact that that is about the only thing...

Sorry, forgot to say its a 1999 2.5DSE P38.

Some months ago, possibly more than a year, I got the dreaded EAS hard fault and was dumped on to the bump stops. Since then, I have replaced 3 air bags, I have refurbished the compressor 3 times (second time because I wasn't confident I got it right the first time and third time because the...

Thanks very much...just bought the sprocket online! Just hope now that they don't come back and say "Oops, sorry, that sprocket is obsolete, here's a refund" like the last lot did. Thanks again.

Thanks all for the replies. I am hoping for a call from BMW tomorrow telling me they can get me a sprocket. If not, I am stuffed.

Hi all, the name is John. I have just moved to Brampton (Carlisle) after 39 years in the Army. Managed to get some shooting so obviously had to buy a Range Rover (P38 2.5DSE) to carry my armoury. I've had a couple of problems...I allowed the brake pads to go metal to metal - can't believe...

Ah, understood, thanks and my apologies for the lack of manners. I shall go to the intro page immediately! Cheers, John

Druim, your avatar would seem to suggest that my intro was less than 'nice'. Please forgive my ignorance or lack of forum experience, what was wrong with it...so I don't make the same mistake in the future. Cheers, John

Hi all, my P38 DSE is currently in my local garage in pieces awaiting new chains, sprockets and tensioners. Everything is available less the crankshaft sprocket (STC 2091) which has been made obsolete and is no longer available. I have been on numerous forums and sites trying to find one with...
