My gems p38 has the original head unit, which is working, in that it plays reasonable quality audio from the radio, and knackered, in that the display is illegible (looks like it might have had water in it :/ ).

What are my options here? Can a replacement LCD be fitted to the head unit by a clumsy oaf like myself? Anyone know a shop specialist able to do the job?

Second problem is that changing head unit mode to cd produces no sound for 5 seconds or so, then reverts to radio. The changer only has one cd in it, but I'd think the system can cope with that case, if its working correctly.

What I'd really like is a bluetooth capable replacement head unit, but Google doesnt offer any obvious solution, so I guess that's non-trivial?

Thoughts and suggestions much appreciated!

Hi,

New member here, Alan, living in the freezing Norf.

Just bought a P38 with a few issues... found this place via referral by a long time member, Richard, over on RangeRovers.net.

First job to deal with is headlining, along with sunroof cassette replacement (parts on order, hope to get started this weekend).

I've little to no mechanical experience or ability, but my brothers handy, and he's agreed to help me out. With his kind assistance and yours, I'll get there in the end (hopefully) ;)

Bought the car to use over winter, keep the exotica off the road through the worst of the salt, so thinking I'll keep it long-term, if i can get it properly sorted.

PS: Just discovered that my heater doesnt blow much in the cabin. Didnt seem a major issue until I sis a bit of research :)
