It’s the left side.....
I’ll try getting something in to clean it. Beats the alternative.
I put new new ones in and still got same ABS error message.
I removed one of the sensors again and used a flashlight to look inside opening where sensor goes. Looks like the hub that the sensor touches has a lot of corrosion on it and I’m guessing this is my “new” ABS issue.
Looks like I’m gonna have to pull the shaft out of I want the ABS light to go away....
Suggestions or comments?
Great work so far mate.
If I could make a suggestion.... while you have the seats out of it you should remove the roof/ceiling and reupholster it. With all the great work you are doing in cleaning her up it would be a shame to have the roof lining looking gash.
The biggest part of removing the ceiling is getting the seats out and you already have that done.
Reupholstering the shell is a straight forward job and will be well worth the effort.
Keep up the good work...
Yeah it’s special made and being pulled by a Ford F550 Diesel Super FX4....

Still can’t figure photo posting out.
Here’s a link to Imgur image of the three P38s being transported to their new home in Connecticut.
Thanks GILBERTD... That photo really doesn’t do the vehicle any justice whatsoever....
That thing has my blood, sweat and many, many tears in it.... A proper pain in my arse it was but glad to be at the finish line. Two small items to clear up on it. The upper and lower windshield trims need installing. One would need to be an octopus to do that and my wife’s tolerance for the vehicle is wafer thin considering all the dinners she has left in the oven as I stated “I’ll be in in a minute. Put it in the oven and put kettle on”..... Left front turn signal is wrong color and should be clear.....
Other than that, I would argue she is as good as new... I will post more photos in time...
@OpdShep 56 once I figure out how to post photos here I will put them on..
I can change a core O ring in less than 4 hours put can’t figure out the posting of photos thing here
GILBERTD, RRToad, the twat that he is, banned me for asking him why he replies to most members questions with the “its in the RAVE, please take the time to look it up there blah de fuckin blah ad nauseam blah blah take the time ethic etc”? I pointed out that his replies would take more time than answering the bloody question. I hadn’t taken into consideration the fact that he probably has this replay as a cut and paste and uses it willy nilly... but still!!!!
He then took the time to ban me and pointed out that I was banned for ever and a day......
Sad part is that he is ruining a very good website. I got a ton of informative info from the members there during the LINLEY rebuild and my second last post on the forum was me acknowledging that fact and thanking the members who helped me.
The LINLEY is finally painted and had a teflon coating applied recently. It’s parked in our garage in Connecticut and I plan on taking her to some LandRover events in the Northeast, USA over the next few years.
@MartyUK.... I totally know how you feel with the frustration of P38 ownership when all goes to shit.
I cant tell you the amount of times I wanted to push mine off a bridge whilst I was repairing them but I’m glad I didn’t.
Every time I look my P38s as I walk across a parking lot towards them I realize that there’s nothing in the entire lot that compares to mine. Added to that is the fact that I know them inside out. Newer cars are as common as muck but you rarely see a P38 on the road.
Keep the faith.
Ive had my H&H down to the bare bones and the Linley has been completely rebuilt from the tyres up. I can honestly attest to the fact that my blood sweat and tears are in my P38s. I certainly wouldn’t have the same enthusiasm for a newer vehicle.....
They are worth it.... Walk away from it and have a cup of tea.... all will be grand and you will be glad you kept it
@Gilbertd, can the speed controller be swapped out easily enough or am i only prolonging the inevitable?
@Gilbertd, can the speed controller be swapped out easily enough or am i only prolonging the inevitable?
Haha.... understood.
Removal of Right Blower motor it is....
Hoping that a cleaning of the contacts etc will resolve the issue...
@Gilbertd....you wrote the following ‘Relay 6 controls the Right blower motor, passenger side in your case, so it is the Left hand one that has died. ‘
This has me confused a little bit.... can you confirm that Relay 6 controls the right blower motor?
Your message suggests that it’s left hand one that has died
Update.
With the R6 relay in the fans blow high once I put the key in ignition and I have no control of its speed from HEVAC control unit. When I pull the R6 relay the HEVAC controller can control fan speed, although at a lower volume of air due to only one fan operating.
I swapped the fuse/relay box located under the bonnet out with another unit and the same occurs.
Do I need to replace the fan or is there a component that needs attention? Which side fan does the R6 relay control?
Yes the book symbol with exclamation mark is there.
I swapped the HEVAC control head with another vehicle to troubleshoot and see if that would resolve the issue. No luck.
Blend motors work fine. HEVAC control panel can control heat and AC. Issue of fan speed staying on in a continuous non controllable speed is still there regardless of input from either the original or swapped control unit.
I did notice that Relay R6 was showing signs of melting on it’s top and sides. I replaced it with another relay and the new one began to get hot as a pistol. Electricity is not my chosen subject but I assume that there is a problem here. Issue is what would make two different relays in position R6 stay shut or overheat?
Any ideas?
AC compressor runs fine producing 37F air
Blower speed is on high and I can’t change speed on head unit from high even by rotating dial and getting low speed 1 bar symbol on display
Stopped vehicle and pulled out fan and compressor relays
Found fan relay was black and slightly melted
I put a new relay in and it got hot as a pistol fairly quickly then removed it
Any ideas where I should start troubleshooting?
Thanks for the words Gilbertd….
She is a very clean example and you are right... postage would make it prohibitive to sell in UK.
Ive listed her on www.ebay.com the usa one...Cheers
I’m selling my P38 WESTMINSTER.
I wanted to offer it here on this forum before posting it on eBay over the weekend.
Vehicles paint is original and, as it has been kept in a garage it’s entire life, is in 8/10 condition. The interior is a 9/10 with no sagging headliner, no tears or scratches on the seats and the carpet in excellent shape. The entire AC system has been rebuilt.
The vehicle had been maintained by a Landrover dealership and later by a good quality independent garage. I have a huge file of receipts.
Reason for sale is that I want to repaint my Holland & Holland and focus on that vehicle. The WESTMINSTER deserves a good home.
It’s located in Laurel, Maryland.
I can send photos and details to those who are genuinely interested.
Email me at jmccarthyu3k@yahoo.com
The strip came with the clips so that’s not an issue.
It’s a pain in the ar$e and I’m having to walk away from the job of fitting it every 20 minutes....
Ok I resolved the issue. Kind of...
Radio was indeed DLS. I unplugged the connections in the rear cargo to the NAV unit and found that sound came from all speakers on the right side. By tinkering with the BALANCE button I was able to set the balance to L5 and it was enough to give me a perfect balance of sound.
Not ideal but it beats listening to a stereo that was reminiscent of driving to the beach in my dadsFord Cortina that had one speaker on the rear parcel shelf....
