I used a plastic film canister (35mm film) pushed through the hole after removing the rubber seal. I used silicone sealer to fix it in place and complete the seal. Anything that gets in there tends to drop to the bottom of the cannister and is therefore easily cleaned out. Philip

Hi Chris, Did you fix this problem??? It occurred to me that another cause could be the relay for the fans. Its the yellow one at the front l/h side of the fuse box (under bonnet) as you look at it from the front. When you get the book symbol up again try swapping it over with another yellow one. I had this problem a while ago......unfortunatly I had to replace the fuse box. Regards Philip

Hi Chris, As soon as mine arrive from the UK I will drop you a message on the price and postage for the O/S unit I will be taking out. Regards Philip

Hello Geoff, I guess you are correct but at the price I managed to get them for, compared to new prices, it pales into insignificance. Philip

Hello Chris, As David suggests change the pollen filters too, they get neglected in servicing and can dramatically affect the climate control system. I found a good source of these from Island 4x4 on Ebay £8.99 per pair + £2.50 pp. Regards Philip

One happy bunny here, I managed to win all three items that were on that Ebay auction so I will have not just a pair of LHD light units but a spare LHD L/H unit as well. If anyone needs a LHD L/H headlight unit with Flasher and bulbs for a P38 please contact me. I will also have for sale a pair of RHD units (no flashers) as well, as soon as these arrive. Message me if any one needs these I am sure we can come to an arrangement. Remember though I am in France so the postage will be a bit heavy. Philip

Hello Spotters, Well I solved the enigma of the missing RRC's they are all here in the Volcanic region of France. On my way into town I saw two one a nicely tricked black one with huge wheels and winch and the other 'stock'. I arrived at the local Bricomarche (diy store) and there were two more in the car park one looking very sad and drooping. On the way home a SII hooted and waved followed 1 min later by a light flashing 110 truck cab. The best bit though was the local Pompiers ( fire fighters) New red TD5 waving as it went by in the opposite direction. The final one was the dark blue 110 Gendarme's vehicle that I am very pleased to say did not wave,flash or hoot at me. Not bad for a 30km round trip in the French mountains. Regards Philip

Damn ...he just replied and wants to let it run......also stated a charge of £33.00 the pair to send to France!!! Just had a pair of Difflocks Wide wheel ramps weighing 26kgs sent for £15. Oh well have to join in the mad scramble at the end I guess....there goes my Saturday night...lol Philip

Hello Chrisst2, Thanks for that on it now trying to get a buy it now from him. Thanks again Philip

Thanks for that John ...Tried them but no luck....also tried Car Canibal in the US no joy there either. What is with these headlight units they seem to be like hens teeth. Regards Philip

Hello All, I am looking for a pair of LHD headlight units for a P38 Range Rover 1999 I need the units to convert a RHD English registered vehicle to French registration and hate the thought of parting with 200GBP+ each for a new part. There appears to be no pattern part supplier for these so L/R have me by the *****. Has anyone got a pair from a wreck or a scrapper? If so would you be prepared to ship to France? Can pay via Paypal. I have tried just about every parts dealer and scrap yard I could find that deals in RR used parts, throughout Europe, and can only find one pair for sale unfortunately they will not ship to France!!! So I thought it time to try you guys over the pond. For clarity. I am looking for a L/h and R/h headlight unit for a 1999 Range Rover P38 in LHD format. Regards Philip

Bishbosh thanks for that if you can find any I am sure the post is not that prohibitive. Yellow thanks for the links had already tried Rangerover Recycling they had a pair but wanted 120 Euros each for them and were an bit vague about postage to France and payment so I continued my search. I also asked about the price for a 200Tdi Defender engine as a spare for my Defender and they quoted me 2500 Euros for an engine of undetermined mileage and again vague about delivery or payment terms so I think I will be giving them a miss at those prices. I have just mailed Jansen today to see if they have any. I am ofc scanning ebay across Europe as well. Found a pair of rhd lights in UK which sold for £50 each which is more the sort of figure I had in mind. I will post on the North American boards tonight. Thank you both Philip

LOL says the man who calls his disco Christine Ahh but the name is a long story and held in high regard in these parts. Philip

Hello, If I were you I would replace the relay and check the wireing at the fuse box. I had a similar problem on Lulu when she had a TD engine in her and it was fixed by replacing the relay/ and reseating the wires. Regards Philip

Thank you Mr Magnanimous
