Hello All,
Haven't had a chance to look for the drain plugs again.
As far as the soggy carpet, mine was like that before I replaced my blend motors and heater pipe gaskets (2002 P38A 4.6 HSE). I dried things as best I could and then put newspaper on the carpet and then the floor mat over the newspaper. It was amazing how it sucked the fluid out of the carpet. I kept changing the newspaper until it stayed dry. The smell of antifreeze went away too. I don't know about the foam below the carpet. Apparently mine was not soaked.

Thanks Sloth, will give that a try as soon as practicable.

Hello,
I crawled under the rig again and pulled the stoppers out. They are observation plugs. No drainage at all. Still cannot find the A/C drains.

Thanks Gilbertd,
I'll try that or post photos.

Hello All,
I have crawled under my P38A x 2 now and looking at the transmission bellhousing, I cannot see the two drain pipes. I''ve read that they look like cones, but cannot find them. I found two observation stoppers, one on either side of the bellhousing Would appreciate any direction.
Thanks,

I didn't buy the hitch parts/step based on your info.
I did get an 03 BMW 325i mirror and used its mounting arm to transplant into the Disco compass mirror assembly so it would fit correctly on the windscreen of my 02 P38A. I had read that using the Disco mount made the mirror sit lower.
The metal collar that secures the ball & socket was more than I could do. I pried it downward and it sprung loose to take apart. I did not have the tools or know-how as to how to put it back on. I found a 96 RR P38A (or it might have been a 96 BMW 5 series--been to several breaker yards lately) mirror and it had a snap ring rather than a collar. I used that snap ring. The mirror stays in place. The wiring plugs matched up (Disco to P38A). I disconnected the Home Link circuit in the Disco mirror housing (left side, separate circuit board) as the P38A has its own Home Link above the driver door. The compass works. As far as I can tell, nothing else has changed. Very sophisticated circuitry inside the mirror--can see why Land Rover dealer would think they could charge $400+ new.

Hello,
Bought a 2003 LR Discovery (2? II?--not familiar with them) rear view mirror with Home Link & Compass from a breaker yard (for $5--amazing, I know). My Rangie has the Home Link above the driver's door (LHD, looks like a garage door opener clicker--pretty ugly).
Unplugged my 2002 P38A HSE's rear view mirror and plugged in the Disco's (plastic plug-in matched exactly) and the Compass worked (i.e., I left the P38A rear view mirror in situ and plugged the Disco's into it's connector, turned key to position 2). I have never noticed the auto-dim feature on my Rig before. I can't tell you if it worked before or not. It was daytime today when I connected the Disco's up.
The problem is the mount for the Disco mirror to the windscreen. The Disco's 2 tab clip did not match the P38A's (3 tabs). You can unscrew the Torx head screw and prise out the Disco clip to exchange, but the P38's clip has 2 rivets holding it in place. I took my P38A mirror apart and there appears to be a ring circlip holding the ball-socket together. Is this the case?
I thought about drilling out the rivets and drilling a hole to attach the P38A's 3 tabs clip to the Disco setup. I thought about swapping out the ball-socket mountings. Before going further I wanted to check here for advice. I now have my original back together and on the Rig.
One last question: The LR Disco has a step attached underneath the back bumper, a tow hitch, and the electric socket and wiring for a trailer hookup (badly corroded). Will these things match up with my 02 P38A HSE 4.6 LHD?
Thanks,

Egocentric? Hey, I speak American. The Sun does go around the Earth, you know? Or, is it the P38A? Replaced blend motors, O-rings, temp sensor (all back together and now have heat), headliner, Climate Control repaired in California, fixed key remote, Nav system, new bulbs everywhere, front suspension links, steering damper, added running boards, parcel shelf. Loving my 2002 4.6 HSE LHD Rangie (bought in May,2015).
Enjoying the new site! Gilbertd, among others, gives sound advice.

Hello,
Bulb came in the mail and I put it in. The Pelican Parts green-based bulb is rounded-over/rectangular, not like the hex shape of the OEM. It's actually a BMW bulb. Nonetheless, it fit the Climate Control Unit. Now it lights up correctly with no Chequebook/Book with Exclamation Point ("Bang" in computer speak) so replacing the blend motors solved that.
I had feared I might have done something to mess up the Climate Control Display. Not so, all is well. Thanks for your help.

Hello Roger-B,
Put bulb back in, hooked up the Instrument Panel, turned key, no display. Wiggled unit and got a display. NO CHEQUEBOOK/Bookmark!!! Will replace when new bulb comes in. I gave the Pelican Part number previously. The Land Rover part number is STC3869. Pelican Parts was $2.25 + $4.25 shipping (I bought 3). On eBay, one goes for as much as $11 with free shipping from cheaplrparts.
Thanks for your input. Happy New Year!

Hello All,
I replaced my blend motor trio and now the display on the HEVAC does not light up. All of the other buttons do light up when engaged and seem to be working. The blend motors, I believe, are working. I took out the green-based display bulb/holder and if I wiggled it, there was continuity. When I put it back in, still no display. I previously sent HEVAC unit off to California to be fixed ($200) and display worked. Have ordered bulb/holder (2.0w) part number 62-11-1-375-774-M97, brand is Osram-Sylvania, from Pelican Parts (http://www.pelicanparts.com/) as there are no RRs in breaker yards here in Memphis at present.
There are no green-based bulbs in the speedometer/instrument cluster (black-based are 1.2w and the base is different). Is there another component in the Rangie that has the green-based bulb to substitute for a test of the display in the meantime?
Thanks,
Vancer
