This forum has been a godsend during my 6 years of daily driving my P38, which I began restoring since day 1. Bought it with 86k miles from the second owner, currently at 126k. Unfortunately, I had my first mechanical problem in 6 years and, as it turns out, quite a catastrophic one. I’d...

Hey there, I was driving my 2008 Range Rover for about 20 minutes when I noticed there was no heat. I found this odd then all of a sudden I lost power pulled over, popped the hood noticed it was smoking from the from of the engine near the coolant tank and then I noticed it had overheated on...

I recently took the rover in for low coolant message. They said water pump was bad. They replaced the pump, 2 hoses, and 2 belts. On the way home I got low coolant light again and then I saw the temp gauge shoot up and got engine overheating message. Pulled the car over immediately and popped...

Everything has been great with the 98 RR for at almost 2 years, but today it died twice. We left about 10am to go to town in 42 degree weather. We also noticed the heater didn't work very well. We get about 5 miles from the house and the RR sputtered and began to die. As I looked down at the...

In advance, I would like to thank anyone who is willing to help me with my problem. I was wondering if I could have a blown head gasket or other serious repair. I purchased a used Range Rover 2004 today with 93000 miles from a private owner. The family was really forthcoming about any issues...

I thought you guys would get a kick out of this one: I was driving from Calgary to Fernie this weekend, and the #6 line from the valve block to the tank decided to leak hard. So I believe the compressor overheated and hard faulted me with 70km to go. This was the result: #stancenation After...

Luckily just a few blocks from a friend house. Car had sat parked all morning, ran a few blocks away to get some parts, and less than a block from leaving the parts store the needle suddenly pegged with not warning. I pulled over and shut town asap. Overflow tank was shaking the boiling was...

No, I don't think so either. But I'm not sure how to explain what I've observed: Last night, I was driving my 2000 RR SE on the interstate at 65mph when the heat started blowing cold, the temperature gauge pegged hot and I pulled off to the shoulder and shut the engine off. Maybe 15 seconds...

So, the engine overheated. How to determine if it's more than just a headgasket job So, I let someone borrow my P38 the other day. Anyhow, long story short, the P38 overheated because the expansion cap was not tightened down properly, and all the coolant was pretty much pushed out as engine...

Hi all I have a 2004 RR L322 with 120 k miles on it Recently I had 2 messages pops up to me that says trans overheated and another one that says trans fail safe prog The car seems to have a very hard and slow takeoff when from stop position, although I noticed that when I don't hit gas after...

Last night the fiance and I were on our way to the gym when I was driving and noticed the engine seemed as if it was overworking - best described as the engine breathing harder. As we pulled on to the freeway we were hit with the "Reduced Engine Performance" error, followed by a low coolant...

overheated - comps ok, pipes ok, exhaust gasses in coolant?? test kit coming UK 97 4.0 se auto - owned 5 years never a prob just the usual calipers, a/c rad, air spring bags, steering bits and bobs - last night went to collect some hay in 27-28 degree external temps - left her idling collecting...

So, the truck in question is a 95 RR 4.0 (P38)- I believe I've had the trinary switch issue for a couple years, and after knocking out a couple issues this spring I was ready to look at that one. Long story short, even when it got warm, turning off the A/C would put the temp gauge back to 12...

Fellow enthusiasts, I recently purchased a P38, at a discount price, and one of the problems with the vehicle is that 20A fuse F15 fuse blows as soon as it is inserted. With the aid of the Electronic repair manual (page 7 of Y2 very relevant), I have traced the problem...

Hi to all. I have been a member on the forum since 2004 but have spent my time exclusively on the P38 specific section. I have owned nineteen Range Rovers over the years and currently on my sixth P38 so they are in my blood. I even tried a career change and started a dedicated P38 repair...

Hi all, I have a 2000 P38, SE 4.0, which my wife drives, and yesterday she called me to tell me the car was acting strange... steering hard, hesitating, no AC. I immediately recognized it as a broken serpentine belt and told her to stop, which she couldn't do right away since she was on the...

V8, 4.6: Throttle Body Heater Leak -> Overheated -> Dead? Hello, everybody, First time poster with my first Rangey troubles. P38, 2002, UK spec, 4.6, 95,000 miles (you will excuse interchanging of imperial and metric: it is imported from UK so the odometer is in miles, but this is Botswana...
