There's a guy in the P38 UK group who does the same standalone Job for the GEMS and the THOR ECU. Simon Doherty ...

Hi Dave, finally found time to take the images:
There are two minimal different types of top fasteners ... one has two small tabs ... I prefer much more Your version, without the arrows!
Measurements all in mm ;-)
complete set of three pieces ...

And the blanking plug for the headlamp wipers ... BTR2854

Been there, done that. It is straight plug & play with a highline BECM. But I had the seats from a GEMS into a GEMS, don't know if the airbags are integrated into the loom or if they have a separate loom, which I guess.

I don't know if the 96 DSE has the tilting mirrors if You reverse, my P38 does not have them, but they went down, every time I reversed, but not upwards again ;-) had to disable the mirror dip, easy done: ignition on, gear lever in reverse and pressing memory button until message centre says mirror disabled or something similar (same way to activate).

There is an intermediate part in the mats, which is not shown on Your image. Will take an image tomorrow and post.

But GR8 work so far.

Another part which obsolete from LR and might be interesting are the blanking plugs for the headlamp wiper, if You remove them, like I did ... really scarce. I can post images of them, too.

Hi Dave3d, as son, as I get the package I will take photos with a scale / measuring tape. Happy to contribute to Your library, good Idea!

Hi, thx, good to know leolito. I managed to order some used ones for a reasonable price. Some sellers wanted silly amounts of money for mounting clips ;-)

seems I got talent in finding parts virtually made of unobtanium lately ... must be final state of featuritis, I guess. ;-)

Hi @all, I am searching for four upper retaining clips / fasteners for the genuine rubber floor mats / carpet mats for the P38. Anyone know a source, they seem to be some kind of twist lock and I haven't found any thread about it nor source on ebay etc ... any hint / tip is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

They are the upper parts in image 7 and 8.

Gordonjcp … yes, very funny Description, but I think You got it. Read somewhere ( forgot where) that’s related to the big rivets which get minimal play.

Greyhound5 … Good luck, now You got the source.

There is a clunk which is characteristic of many P38 I experienced, which comes from the rear trailing arms ...

I wasn't aware of all those small differences in detail, like connectors ... I am a bit varied in model years, there may be / are six editions of the electrical workshop manual around ... nearly every model are some small changes until 99 my Iirc ... I realised several times, devil´s in the detail ;-)
Thanks for sharing!

Like Symes and Bolt, plus one ... fault may be found somewhere in the starter circuit. Just a bad starter solenoid ...

Found it today (and this thread as well)
STC3162 (blank key)
found asr1044 as well, have to check if this is the valet key or the mechanical blade (blank) ...

Richard ... what a beautiful silver one You've got there. It´s really a pity, that I'm not a collector. One of my all time favourites in outer appearance!

Hi Unimog996 (great cars, too btw),

interesting approach, following with interest. Please keep us updated!

I guess You have a Thor / Bosch injection? With higher octane fuel and the knock sensors it might have a nice effect making use of the higher compression.

Don‘t know much about the motronic, though.

I might contribute a bit confusion, as I discovered during a chronic attack of this enthusiast disease called „featuritis“, with symptomizes with acut cases of installing / altering genuine features ...
On LHD SE of my model year, the footwell illumination is NOT prewired. Neither left or right, nor in the rear part of the Centre console.
Left hand rear door has plug and connection to Becm for a puddle light prewired, right hand, where the connecting wire is much shorter, the part between b-post and BECm is missing in the loom and connectors, whereas the plug in the door is existing ... should have taken a selfie scratching my head while trying to make sense out of this ;-)
Earth strap to bonnet is not existing ...
I think there are 6 editions of the electrical trouble shooting manual?

If You open the fuse box lid under right hand seat, above the fuses under a usually thick layer of dust could be a paper label with a printed number ... there should be either a „L“ or more probably a „H“ for highlife readable ... as well as part numbers.

Electric seats are at least pre facelift easy, if You got a matching loom and seats together. You can do a neat addition which looks like factory fitted. I had manual heated leather seats, now the driver seat is electric with memory ... the Electric ones are much better adjustable and comfortable (for my ergonomics).
Funny finding, I had to disable mirror dip after plugging in the seat with memory into the BECM, because I have only the 6-wire mirrors, which went down everytime I engaged reverse, but never went up again ... after two times reversing I realized and heard mirrors moving ... another surprised facial expression ;-)

Regarding the difference between 4.0 and 4.6 my Observation is slightly different, the 4.6 has much more low end torque, at least when I compare my model year - 98. Maybe due to the difference in the gear box torque converter (4hp22 with the 4.0 and 4hp24 with 4.6). Several hundreds rpm less while accelerating with the 4.6 and more responsiveness when the lockup happens at higher speeds, even if the gear boxes have the same ratios.
Because of that I swapped the maf and throttle pot with my 4.0 gems for new ones, which made a major difference after 220.000 km ;-) they did not show any fault messages, but driving with cruise control is much smoother right now and it takes over without any lack.

to make the confusion perfect, I got the recommendation 0280156045 Bosch.
Interesting comparison chart:

Now I need to know the genuine specs of ERR722 ... for exact matching

Hi Richard, found it here on the site ... thanks for the comparison link!
https://rangerovers.pub/topic/1549-fuel-injector-compatability

Short cut: it is Bosch 0 280 155 884 for the GEMS

Hi, I am planning to change my old LUCAS injectors (single hole) ERR722 injectors for some 4 hole Bosch injectors (coming from germany they are easier available, than Ford ones). Does anyone have a proper part number or better the specs of the LUCAS injectors in normed flow rate and resistance for comparison? Or some Bosch part numbers, I have gotten many contradicting informations so far and hope that someone has done this with positive experience before.
thanks in advance.
happy rangerovering
