Problem you have at the moment is that both of the other H&H owners on here are in the US.......

The battery backed sounder should sound if disconnected, unless the batteries are completely dead, in which case disconnecting it is a good idea.

Some had the battery backed sounder, others didn't, but the NiCd batteries in those that had them are going to be well past there sell by date by now. There is a process for disconnecting the sounder without offending the alarm system:
To disconnect the Battery Backed Up Alarm Sounder
(Z272):

Turn Ignition On (Pos. II).

Turn Ignition Off.

Disconnect within 17 seconds.
To silence if triggered:

Connect.

Disarm Alarm.

Turn Ignition On (Pos. II).

Welcome Pete, you've found the best forum for the P38 and another H&H owner too. Like you, I do all my own work and have owned a Classic LSE in the past as well. Never owned a diesel but did have a 200 TDi Disco 1 and a TD5 as company vehicles a few years ago.

If the same as the ones on the banner, that's sparkle silver. Shadow Chrome is darker.

Which ones are Comet wheels? They don't appear on this list https://www.cxmdunord.nl/rims-land-rover/

The Bosch engine management doesn't like anything other than genuine Bosch MAF sensors and if they are starting to go, they rarely respond to cleaning. Best to just leave it alone unless it is showing signs of dying. At 105k,, it's barely run in, although you might have one lambda sensor showing signs of failing and you have 4 unlike the rest of us that only have two.

Have you contacted Ashcrofts https://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/automatic-gearboxes.html? I doubt it would take them 2 weeks.

75% of all Land Rovers ever built are still on the road, the other 25% managed to get home.......

I quite like the one that an Aussie has as his signature: Land Rover - turning drivers into mechanics since 1948.

I bought one of those and found it didn't fit as well as a 3/8th drive socket and extension, in fact, it didn't fit at all. You need to be able to rotate the propshaft as the socket will only fit at one point so it's a bit laborious but not difficult. Hardest one is the rear UJ on the front prop as the crossmember gets in the way.

the britpart shaft wasn't phased the same as the LR original one...

I bought a Bearmach front propshaft from Rimmers as my original had wear in the splines on the sliding joint. That also had the phasing wrong. On the original there was a spline missing so it could only be put back together with the correct phasing but the replacement didn't so could go together any way. I just split it and phased it correctly. That probably explains why the phasing isn't mentioned in RAVE for the P38 but it is in RAVE for the Classic (which doesn't have the missing spline)

Either that and just conclude that your car is slightly incontinent, live with it and just top up the fluids every so often. It's nice to have a leak free car but unless it is serious then the effort involved in curing the leak will outweigh the pleasure and costs. If you can see it and the source is obvious, deal with it but otherwise don't waste your life trying to find it. Mine has had a slight oil leak ever since the engine rebuild which I suspect is from the rear of the valley gasket (the bit that I did and not V8 Developments) but it needs a litre of oil about every 5,000 miles so I just live with it. As an oil leak is now part of the MoT I just crawled underneath with degreaser and a pressure washer before it went in for the last test.

I've got the original steering box, it doesn't leak and is perfectly dry and has done 368,000 miles. So either you've never driven in a straight line in your life and have worn it out or it isn't PAS fluid. The pipes can rust/chafe though and leak but the steering boxes don't.

Yup, same stuff. If it's not even reaching the stick, if you start the engine and turn the steering from lock to lock, the reservoir will be filled with aerated fluid.

I'm afraid it was me that accused you of bollox but only in that you were saying that BT were in breach of GDPR by opting you in to FON, knowingly or not. BT have your personal details anyway, your name, address, bank details, every single telephone number you have called, the amount of data you have downloaded from the net, etc. All of that they have, and are entitled to have, as you are a customer of theirs. The other data they have, as they supplied it, is the MAC address of your home hub. However, what they are not doing is publishing any personal identifiable information. Anyone can see that my BT hub has the SSID of BTHub6-WR3Q but they can't find out who owns it just from that. OK, they can conclude that it is in my address as the strongest signal they receive from it is when they are directly outside but that still doesn't identify who owns it (other than it belongs to that bloke that lives in the house of the corner with 3 P38 Range Rovers parked outside).

As for personal information that is pseudonymised, in just the same way as some of us have Googled RRToadHall and found that his real name is Carl Christy, anyone can Google Gilbertd and probably find that it is regularly used by a bloke known as Dick Gilbert (who is actually called Richard Gilbert). If anyone was then interested enough, they could look up the voters list and find my address. So should the voters list be subject to GDPR as it contains personal information that allows you to identify someone, or does the fact that you already know the name mean you already have identified them?

Finally, anyone that doesn't use the FON service can simply switch it off on their own hub (which means they will then no longer be able to connect to anyone else's) but nobody else can connect to theirs. They opted in, knowingly or otherwise, to a service, not to having their personal data revealed.

Yes, red ATF. If you unscrew the cap it has a level measure on the underside with two marks on it. When not running the level should be up to the top mark.

Groaning steering is usually a sign the level is low.

You sure that's power steering fluid? Looks more like coolant to me.

But it isn't a car, it's a Land Rover.......

I've never seen UJs without grease nipples, in fact on the service schedule, they should be greased every 24,000 miles which would be a bit difficult if they didn't have nipples.
