My budget is a top end of £300 which puts the Nanocom out of my price range,
I have a 1996 Range Rover 4.6 P38.

I am looking at the Lynx Evolution and Hawkeye, I desperately need to get one asap as my car is stuck at the garage with an ABS and Traction fault. And the garage can't connect to the diagnostics with there device.

All opinions and advice really appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I am from near Hastings, East Sussex. I have 2 Range Rovers, 1 L322 V8 petrol and 1 P38 4.6 V8 Petrol.

My P38 came out of the factory an Epsom Green 4.6 V8 petrol HSE, later down the line, someone fitted a long range LPG system with the pretty large twin tanks being hidden in the spare wheel well, it has been converted to coil springs with a 2 inch lift, Then 3 owners ago, they decided to fit a roof rack which looks very stupid, but the way it has been mounted, it cannot be removed, so I am going to modify it a bit, It has gained tinted windows, then 2 owners a go, they decided to roller paint paint the whole car in satin black hammerite paint, which looked ok until it started peeling off as the bodywork wasn't prepped at all, and since I have owned it, it has had a new fusebox, new custom professionally fitted exhaust system as the old one was pretty much just hanging on with each section maybe looking at each other rather than joined, I have flyeye tinted the rear lights.

I have used the car on 1 big journey which was the London 2 Brighton run last year, and after that it all went down hill, fusebox finished frying itself, 1 coolant leak after the other, It has eaten 2 batteries so far, now it has a huge coolant leak, the passenger door won't open and it has been burning oil.

I am disabled and young, but I do as much as I can, when I can. When I can't get out of the property on a bad day, I will sit in my garden if the weather is good and muck around with car parts and modify them and paint them.

I love Range Dog and really want to get it working and properly on the road again. I still have it insured and taxed, but not MOT'd and can't even get it to the MOT station at the moment to at least get a fail list if there is going to be one.

I plan to fit a modified P38 / RR Sport supercharged grill, reduce the height of the roof rack, add spot lights, repaint the entire car panel by panel if I have to, where this time it will be prepped properly, haven't decided fully what paint finish or colour I am going to do, but most likely going to go back to satin black, I would like to add a nudge bar, get the windows working properly, and fix the coolant leak. This Range Rover was involved in helping save my life during an off roading accident which was not my fault, and saved me from drowning, so when it came up for sale and my 2nd friend bought it, I was gutted, then he did a load of repairs and got sick of it being a money pit, put it ups for sale and I ended up not being able to resist the urge to own it.

I have opened a separate thread in the oily bits page about the faults I would like help with.

Thank you for reading my essay of a post lol.

Is anyone else from my neck of the woods in the UK?

I have 2 Range Rover's, I know, I must be insane. My P38 is the one I am in need of help with though please.
I have a few issues which I need to sort and pretty fast, and a cosmetic question that I know I will get ridiculed for.

Firstly before I go any further, Range Dog is a rough looking (at the moment) modified 1996 4.6 HSE with LPG.
These questions aren't in prioritised order, and I am limited with my disabilities which I have had from birth.

Problem 1.

My front passenger door card dropped stopping the door from shutting, it was raining, I was desperate to get home after picking my car up and driving for the 1st time in 3 months, so in a paddy (I don't have many, honest... lol), I yanked the door card off which bent the thing with the door lock pin on it that shows through the door card, slammed the door shut, and now it won't open from either the inside or outside. MOT has now run out, and it won't pass one for obvious reasons.

Problem 2.

Coolant loss from a location I can't quite see, (Above the oil filter housing), and the cooling system does not match that on the Rave manual for the Gems engine set up, although I have a Gems engine, and doesn't quite match the Thor engine set up but is closer to the Thor set up than anything.

Problem 3.

Using oil, I hope to have solved this, but not able to tell yet as I cannot drive the car, I found the breather was totally blocked and very thin and stretchy, I have bought new breathers already and the smoke that was coming out has more than halved, so hoping I just need to give it a good blast.

Problem 4.

Intermittent Electric Windows.

Problem 5.

ABS and Traction lights on despite new ABS sensors and replacement hubs on the rear.

The cosmetic thing.

Range Dog has a far from standard look anyway, and I love having it looking different, if I had bought it in factory condition, I would have kept it that way, but keeping it unique, I have been given a spare P38 Grill and have bought a very cheap RR Sport supercharged grill and like the look of the 2 combined, however I cannot see any guidelines on how to do it, does anyone on here have any photo's of one being built please?

Thank you for taking your time to read my post.
