I’ve thought of that but I believe it’s got a different MAF sensor because that’s a ‘98’ with the different engine. Besides that I lend it to a friend which has taken it on a trip to the south of France.

P1300 - Land Rover

Type:

• Powertrain - Manufacturer Controlled DTC - Manufacturer Controlled

Description:

• Random/multiple cylinder(s) - misfire detected

Cause:

• Engine mechanical fault, wiring, ignition/ fuel system, injector ECT/MAF sensor, ECM

It’s just a cheap obd link device i paire to my smartphone but this is what it tells me.

Good morning fellow p38 diyers

Recently I bought another p38 it needs some attention but it’s good driving base. Since I got it, the service engine soon light is on. I have drive it 2 times and couldn't really determine what was going on. At first I thought the gearbox was slipping but now I think it has something to do with the service engine soon light. If I cleanr the code with an obd scan, it comes back after 5 minutes as soon as I start driving. Situation discription:

• When I drive and the light is off there is nothing wrong.
• When the light is on continuously the power changes.
• When the light flashes it still drives but stutters when accelerating and it seems like the gearbox is slipping because it goes high in RPM but does not accelerate.

I have replaced the oil, filters and spark plugs. In addition, this one consumes considerably more than my other one. This let me think it might be the Mass airflow sensor might be bad. I’ve got the workshop manual but don’t know what to look for or where. So now I’m wondering if you guys have any idea of what might be the problem.

Range Rover p38 MY2000, 4.6L petrol.

One more question: does anyone have a good adres to buy some new relays. My starter relays broke.

Siemens
V23134-B52-X127
YWB 100 12
12V

The yellow one.

Update: The tailgate is working again! When I took the doorpanel of I found the connector to the cdl and also found a connector for the Floor light in the door witch was unplugged. Fiddeld around with the cdl plug and pluggen the light back in tested the tailgate and it worked.

Now I’m still working on the cruisecontrol. I have allready replaced the red relay and module. Fitted a new vacuüm pump and vacuüm line. Could it be the button on the dashboard or the buttons on the steeringwheel witch aren’t working?

At last I also get a default on the dashdisplay, it says that the back windows and sunroof are not installed. And when i shut the car of it says sunroof open. I haven’t taken a look into it but maybe some of you have experience with this.

I must say you guys have allready been enormously helpfull. Thanks!

So if i understand it correctly, if the cdl switch of the front right door is broken it would not lock the rear left door and the tailgate won’t function? But there’s nothing wrong with the central locking of the doors everything locks with the keyfob button.

To change the bulb i find a good solution because I already replaced two buttons to find out these did not have working light bulbs in them. So orderd enough bulbs to change all of them if any other button breaks. About the tailgate, I already found the green/red wire and planned on chasing it down. The door does lock when I push the sill button so the CDL switch must be working. Tonight I will trace the wire down and see if it has a bad conection or crack in it.

did you see my reply on LZ ?

Yes I did, thanks for the quick reply! This is the first running and driving car I have bought, and its a real project. The previous owner has had it for 2 years in witch he made it road going again. before that it has been sitting for 17 years. I live in the Netherlands here aren't that many of these cars available. My goal is to make it fully functional again and then repair it cosmatically. The car hase about 178000km's and drive's like a train.

some other things that are not working at the moment:

• cruise control
• the backlight of the button to change the ride hight (the button with the round symbol on it right to the button whith the 4 different cars), the orange/red light wich is supposed to light when the button is activated also doesn't work
• the backlight of the button from the hazard lights. the orange/red light does work when the button is ingaged.
• the cruis control button is the same story as the ride hight button. none of the lights work.

I've been trying some more on the tailgate.

All of this stuff whith wiring diagrams and stuff is new for me so I don't immediatly know what i'm looking at or for. But the wiring loom from the tailgate is intact. One of the wire's to the actuator gets 12+ V, the other one with the switch on it gets 4,3 or something when pushed. If i understand it right this is wrong and should be 0 and this is the wire I should trace back to the BECM or ground on the RH front door. and what is the CDL switch?

Already A lot of thanks to you guys for helping me out, I think I will be back a lot of times with questions regarding the Electrickery of this magnificent machine.

I recently bought a P38 from 1998 whit some work all around. I have been trying to get the tailgate to work but no succes, that's why I'm here. The lock mecanism of the tailgate is working because i can manually open it. I have replaced the button and actuator in the tailgate. I also replaced the ECU in the RH front door. If i press the button on the tailgate the actuator gets 6.4 V. What do I do now?
