Hi, 1998 P38 2.5 DSE, tailgate started to have erratic behavior some months ago. Sometimes it opened, sometimes only but the upper half, but many times it didn't open.
Now it doesn't work at all, no signs of life.
Rear button rust free and working (it gives contact). Driver door lock mechanism (LHD) is brand new, fob working as it should thanks to Martin's magic filter, all other locks working trouble-free. Fuse on BECM is ok, interior lights working (I guess it's the same fuse).
And now many questions:
Any idea?
What should I check first? Is there any electric measure I can do? And where?
PS is the tailgate lock linked to right front door lock also on LHD p38s?
Hi everybody,
After many months of reading this very useful forum before buying a p38, let me introduce myself.
I write from Italy and this is my first Range Rover. I know I started with one of the models with the worst fame but I've always liked it and after bringing her home I can say I'm definitely in love.
It is a 2.5 DSE from 1998 with typical Italian equipment (full leather, headlight wipers, sunroof, manual gearbox, heated seats, etc). Oddly enough at the moment everything works (hevac, EAS, sunroof), just had a good service at an independent specialist and am now working on restoring all the little things that need to be fixed after 25 years of life.
Also bought immediately a Nanocom to stay on the safe side... ;-)
As you can see I updated the lights to the 2000 model because I prefer them (but of course I kept the original ones in storage), still waiting for the clear side repeaters delivery.
Let's get to the question: I'm desperately looking for a new sunroof seal which seems impossible to find. Do you have any suggestions?
