  1. Hi all, Does anyone know of anywhere i can go offroading as i have never had my p38 off road. i am in london so something not too far would be best and also something not too difficult as it will be my first time. cheers john
  2. No its not losing any water. i have had a replacement block put in, heads skimmed and checked, valves replaced god knows the list can go on for ever.
  3. I just took the rr out round the block (15min) it did not overheat but when i got back i popped the bonnet and the radiator top hose seems quite hard almost like its bulging, does anyone have any ideas???
  4. How do i get rid of an airlock? May be a stupid question i know but i am trying to do as many things as i can myself. cheers john
  5. Ok i have owned it for 2 months but it has been in the garage for most that time i only got it back a couple of days ago it had the dreaded liner problem so it has been rebuilt. It has done just over 100k The coolant level is ok, the fan belt was replaced last week so is brand new. what do you mean is the radiator obstucted?
  6. The coolant level is fine, i am in london so no extreme weather. Are there any checks that i can do to eliminate one thing or another? thanks for the replies
  7. hi all, I have a 1999 p38 4.0. I was driving it yesterday and the temp gauge was sat on half way after about half hour of driving i stopped went in to a shop to pick up the radio for it, i was in the shop no more than 2 mins, got back in turned the key and the temp gauge went straight up to the red for about 5 secs then went back to the middle. Drove another 5 mins and the temp slowly creeped up to the red and light came on. I left it for about 20 mins and the temp was back down to halfway. so my question is should the temp jump up that quickly? and could it showing a wrong temp on the dash? or does this sound like something else? Any advice will be gratefully received. cheers john
  8. I have recently rebuilt the engine on my 4.0 p38 1999 but it has developed a slight misfire, after putting it on a diagostic machine it came up with a fault on the injector on cylinder 3. My question is which cylinder is number 3? Your help will be gratefully recieved. John
  9. I have a 1999 rr 4.0L, which has just had a engine rebuild but it has a slight misfire I have changed the spark plugs and leads, not sure what else to check just hope the engine dont have to come back out... thanks in advance for any help John
  10. i have a 1999 rr v8 and i have just finished rebuilding the engine, got in it today for a drive and i have a 20mph max warning on the dash. i have tried changing to a different ride hieght but to no avail. Am i doing something wrong? i have only driven the car for a week since i bought it so dont have much experience with the eas. and also is it safe to drive while the warning is on? cheers john
  11. Hi all, i have a 1999 rr p38 4.0 i was given 2 remotes when i bought the car but only one works, is there any way that it can be programmed? And can i do it myself or does it have to be done by LR. the second thing is my rr does not have tv/sat nav but would the wiring be there if i wanted to install one? John
  12. The fault has now been diagnosed as the transfer box. does anyone have one for sale?
  13. The Tc was not removed and nor was the transmision. A friend says it may be the transfer box, would the grinding noise be consistent with a transfer box problem? The noise happens when put into drive, reverse and even when you try and put it in park.
  14. The engine seems to line up ok, all the bolts line up and went in fine. forgot to say when you put it into drive or reverse it grinds but it is not engaging a gear so does not move at all.
  15. I HAVE JUST FITTED MY ENGINE AFTER REBUILDING IT AND IT STARTED UP FIRST TIME. BUT NOW WHEN THE GEARBOX IS PUT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE IT JUST MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. HAS ANYONE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM? ANY ADVICE WELCOME.
