So I am a bit confused. I'll describe all the symptoms and what I think about it, but would like a bit of input and other opinions. So I had a leaking front diff. Leak came from the pinion seal. I replaced the seal. It nearly immediately leaked again. The leak is a very slow leak, but you can...

So my P38 developed some engine noise today.. It makes this noise at idle, regardless of the gear selected (P, N R, D,...). Seems to change frequency with revving however to me it sounds not like it is following the engine revs proportionally. If I set off driving it's there until about 20 to...

Hi all, I have this weird broken off antenna in the roof of my '99 p38. It has only got 1 rear quarter window with an antenna in btw, the right side. In the roof there's an another antenna with a cable running to the front and going into the dash. It looks aftermarket to me but I can't...

Hi all, I will be making a one day trip to Kent from the continent the coming weeks. I would like to combine this with maybe sourcing a few parts that are hard to find over here. Anyone in that area breaking a p38, or know of someone breaking one? Also if anyone in that area has the EAS...

Hi all, I will be repairing my valve block as the suspension behaves a bit weirdly from time to time and it sinks when sitting. I was wondering which kit to get. I have found two kits: - https://x8r.co.uk/range-rover-p38-eas-air-compressor-seal-liner-valve-block-o-ring-diaphragm-kit.html -...

Hi all, I am trying to find out how the BECM determines if a bulb has blown. What are the parameters it looks at? I have a trailer and each time I use it I get the error 'RH Tail Light Bulb Failure' and it shuts off all RH tail lights. Which is super annoying. Also there is no blown bulb...

So I'm having a bit of a battle with the ATF cooler. Mine was leaking from the tanks on the cooler so I bought a Britpart replacement. However one of the unions on the cooler was seized due to aluminium corrosion, not possible to get it off with heat or wd40 so the threaded part on the old...

Hi, this concerns my '99 4.0 automatic p38. I have removed the prop shafts to allow me to remove the transfer case, and fix a leaky front diff pinion seal. Now, I see the 4 prop shaft bolts on each flange need to be torqued to 48Nm. But how do I do this? The UJ's are in the way of getting a...

So after 500km of troublefree motoring my p38 decided it was time for a party. It's a 1990 1999 4.0 SE. One of the issues is with the gearbox. When setting off all is fine but when it shifts into second gear it goes into limp mode and says 'gearbox fault'. Reading with the Nanocom I get...

I had one airline going to the rear right air spring which was scratched and leaking a bit at the compressor side. I went onto Google and found many posts, mostly on the RR.net forum, of people claiming you can easily cut the line back a tiny bit and then chamfer the edge with a pencil...

I am desperately looking for electrical diagrams for my 1999 thor P38. I've searched the webzz and found a Land Rover publication called 'Electrical Troubleshooting Manual' which does contain electrical diagrams but seems to treat each system differently and gives no info on component location...

Hi all, I'm looking into buying a parts car (p38) and have two options at the moment. One has Hurricane wheels, the other has Mondials. Just wondering which of the two are the most desirable/valuable wheels?

Another tyre thread... Looking for new tyres for my p38. Mostly on road use, toeing etc. But occasional wet grass or slightly muddy tracks. When looking through the forums I find that the General Grabber AT3 is the most recommended tyre but when looking at tyre tests this is really poor with...

I found online people that solved the crappy mirror on the p38 which starts leaking fluid by attaching a mirror of the l320 onto the p38 mount. Any pointers to a how to on how this should be done? My p38 is a 1999 model with the early automatic dimming mirror.

Hi all, I have an issue (I think) with my 1999 p38 2.5 DSE auto. I am not sure there is an issue because I never drove the car without engine issues, and it's my first car with automatic transmission. So I don't know what is normal.. So some background: I got the car with leaky injection pump...

I'm having trouble with my radiator drain plug. Concerns my '99 4l v8 p38, bosch engine. O-ring was squeezing out and thus leaking a bit. Had to drain everything to replace rocker cover gaskets and replace the coolant itself so as the old o-ring was mangled I fit a new one. When tightening the...

Hi, so I did a stupid thin today on my 1999 P38 with the 4L Bosch V8. I dropped a boot through one of the holes in the lower intake manifold: They just seem to be drainage holes for water? What is beneath this lower intake manifold piece, just an open cavity? Basically, how bad is dropping a...

I'm a bit lost. I have a 1999 p38 2.5 dse with a broken fuel flap switch. VIN starts with XA. I find a lot of switches with part number AMR3388 which is up until and including VIN to WA. From XA they say I need part YUG102490 which is discontinued and i can't find anywhere. Am I fine to use...

This concerns my 1999 4.0 V8. Nope, not the usual 'where is fuel filter??' kind of post. I have established that there is no fuel filter other than the in tank one on the Bosch engines. Which to me is absurd. May be fine when the car is new but since its 24yr old now I have no confidence in...

So this concerns my green 1999 p38 with 4l V8. It has been sat for 8 years before I acquired it. I just did some major service work and found a considerable amount of milk in de oil filler cap. Also tiny tiny bit in the drained oil. After changing oil and running the engine visible...
