Hello,
Press Cruise Set button and it delays setting and sets at a lower speed. Hose lines are good. Have had the rig c. 3 years and it has always been this way.
Is there a calibration that can be made? Have had 11 BMWs over the years and they always set at exact speed. I may be wrong but there seems to be a BMW influence in my 02 Range Rover P38 HSE, at least the information stalk (mpg, etc.) seems similar.
Thanks

Hello All,
I had an Airbag Fault message on the Instrument Cluster Display (can't think of the conventional nomenclature at present) and went about unplugging and cleaning and re-plugging sensors. Turned out it was the crash sensor under the battery tray of my 02 RR P38 4.6 HSE LHD. With a contact cleaning, the message went away.

I don't drive the RR except on Friday-Sunday. I started getting the Airbag Fault message again. I'm thinking that if your battery is low (like from sitting), it will cause a trigger for the last fault you actually had, even though it is not really a current fault. It is just a low battery. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hello All,
'02 RR P38A 4.6L HSE (LHD) with 135K miles. Radiator's large upper plastic pipe connector separated underneath (making an elliptical shaped break) where hose connects. Decided to replace radiator, and the water pump, serpentine belt, idler tensioner and the 2 idler pulleys as well. Looking at the idler pulleys, the one under the steering pump looks larger to me than the one under the tensioner on the opposite side.

Autozone has just the idler pulley (not through bolt) for $17 + shipping. Are the idler pulleys the same size and are the through bolt diameters a match as well? Looked in Rave and did not find anything to say one way or another. If they are not the same, could you recommend a good supplier? Searched this forum and saw others had replaced these items but no details about sizes. A full weekend ahead...

Hello All,
Replaced Spark Plugs & HT Leads in my RR and broke the plastic secondary air hose. Have re-coupled it together with heater hose section and electrical tape. That works for now but want it fixed.

Found an intact plastic secondary air hose on a 2000 RR in a breaker yard (the same RR as in another post where the doors were locked--now someone has removed the driver's door completely).

Problem is, the 2000 RR's hose, when connected to the air pump, would then stick almost straight up instead of angling towards the back of the engine to connect to the metal piping. I've thought about heating it up with a hair dryer to re-shape. It would break if forced the way it is. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hello All,
I found a 2000 P38 in a breaker yard. The doors are locked, the tailgate is open but twisted with sharp edges and too dangerous to enter through. The driver side (LHD) window is down 3/4's. The breaker yard does not allow batteries. There is no key in the Rig. The engine compartment is readily accessible. I climbed in through the driver's side window but getting out was much more difficult. Not good form either.

Is there a way to mechanically unlock the doors without a key and without a battery from outside the vehicle?

Also, is there an emergency escape latch on the tailgate? I read there was in another forum but that was quickly shot down by another member. I can't find it on my 2002 P38A LHD 4.6 HSE Rig. Did not see it in the Owner's Manual or Rave.

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.

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?

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,
