Got an email reply today from JLR. car checks out, recall (Q041) carried out in 2008 by main dealer including the dealers location. Cant see what all the fuss and secrecy was about. JLR need to sort themselves out. As for whether the dealer could have done it, yes he could, but I would rather...

Just wondered if anyone else has had a problem with getting information from Jaguar Land rover Customer Services. I am looking at replacing my P38 with an l322. Having tracked down one I contacted the (non JLR) dealer to check as to whether the gearbox / front diff recall had been carried out...

Thanks Martyn, will get it sorted. Cheers.

Yes thank you Mr Wammers, I did indeed take notice of what you wrote earlier, I was just clarifying the point, accumulator, pump or both? I will go with the accumulator.

How do you post a large picture please chaps?

Cheers chaps, just caught up with this. So the "accumulator" is the grenade shaped object and that sits on the "pump". How do I tell which part is / maybe at fault? or do I change both as a matter of course? The whirring noise happens every time I depress the brake pedal but having said that the...

Thank you Datatek and Tcubed. Will have the voltage checked out when I get the accumulator fixed. Yes it runs every time I depress the pedal so hopefully all will be sorted. Seemed a bit strange though that what with all the flashing warning lights, dashboard warnings, beeping etc, there were no...

Brake accumulator, thanks people. Yes Martin your right, black not green! it runs every time I depress the brake pedal. As for the battery, it was replaced last January so it "should" still be good, will get that checked out as well but after replacing the accumulator. Many thanks once again

Ok, so you are standing in front of a 1998 P38 2.5 DSE looking at the engine bay. Look to the back left and there is what looks a green hand grenade on top of something. What is it, What does it do and should it buzz and whirr for about 30 seconds when turning the ignition to on...

Well, in case anyone is interested and is thinking of doing the same thing, I have made the leap and changed to coils.................and what a difference it has made!!!! I had Terra Firma coils, shocks etc fitted and it now feel like I have a RR that will truly go anywhere and do anything...

Thanks for that. I am definatly no mechanic!!!!:)

Thanks again for all the replies. I appreciate the points made but as i have said, i have really lost faith in the EAS system. At what point do you stop throwing money ( a few grand already) at the problem and decide to take incisive action. I really wanted some input from those who have...

Thannks for the replies. With regard to the ECU, ihad a new one fitted, same problems keep occuring! And yes, even with the 35 mph warning flashing and beeping there was no fault showing on the laptop (something book??) that was connected into the diagnostics socket. I stood next to them while...

Cheers Druim and aerofabrique. I too have heard all the stories regarding roll overs, instability, void insurance policies, MOT failures etc. If so many people have converted to coils springs then it should warrant further investigation which is what I am doing now. Terrafirme, Bearmach, brit...

Thanks......but now tell us why? What was your experience with them /what make did you have /use /fit? Were they on a P38?

Hi all and yes I'm going to ask "that Question"!!! Firstly, I know the arguments for and against conversion and I totally respect each and everyone's opinion on the matter so maybe the "pro EAS" lobby might want to pass commenting on this thread!!:) I have had my 1998 2.5 DSE 5 speed manual...

Irish Rover, thanks for your "advise"! I have had my P:38 for 6 years, its great, the EAS has played up all tyhe time I have had it but no-one, main dealers included has been able to resolve any issues with the EAS system when it plays up!! Where did I say I cant afford??? Its a great car...

yes they work, got mine from fleabay, chap in the states makes them. They are the best "get out of jail" card I have for my P38. I have had constant problems with the EAS system, from locking out when all 4 orange lights are on to going"fatal" and dropping to the bump stops. I take it to my...

Well, thanks for all the replies. Went to the chaps who normally fix my RR when things are serious, they tested the RF unit and sure enough its was no good. They orderd me one on account, off I went, picked it up and fitted it in 30 seconds, wires off wires on, test, DONE!! No key codeing etc...

Ok, found out a bit more, apparantly once the RF Reciever unit is "installed" it has to matched to the key by the same process as you would for re-coding the key fob. Put the key in the closed drivers door,Hold the close button down then turn the key to left twice then to the right once...
