Thread: Can anybody give me advice?

13.2 is not bad. Search for roof lining on this forum, lots of good advice. Same goes for stereo as it's not a straight swap. Also read up on overheating causes - RR are prone and if they do overheat can spell the end of the engine. Also look up EAS and get yourself a set of Shrader valves. From my own experiences, the guys on here are really great and knowledgeable. Finally, welcome.

Hi

Welcome to the house of fun .. with apologies to Madness

Lots of helpful people here

If the aftermarket stereo works OK it's probably easiest to leave it in place, the original units are really showing their age now!

I got my two front seats re done ( well the seat part anyway) where the old leather had split. Cost me $400. They did it in a day. The match was close but only noticeable if I point it out. Cruise control could just be a split vacuum hose, check at top rear passenger side under bonnet (behind the EAS compressor and valve block box. Can't help you with the radio but I would expect its a pretty simple swap out job.
13.2 /100 is ok in my mind. Welcome to the group and plenty of assistance and knowledge on this forum.

There's a reason why the original stereo gets swapped. If you're silly enough like I was to push on the LCD panel with your fingers on a hot day, then that causes permanent damage which cannot be repaired. Usually cheaper to go to JB hifi and grab a different brand.

13.2 is great for a 4.6

Hi derpomz, welcome aboard and congrats on the new Rangie.
I did my headliner earlier this year, here's a link to my thread about it:
New headliner done!
If you have a read through there is some info on my experience.
Took me a couple of days, but looks fantastic now, a bit sporty even!
Also a great guide here:
Headliner Repair & Replacement

For the seats, you may want to price second hand vs reupholstering.
Usually the drivers seat will be the worn one, so you may find a good second hand passenger seat and just get the drivers seat redone.
Have a look on ebay, there are often people wrecking P38's of late.

I recently fixed my cruise control as well, here's a link to the thread on my experience with that. Usually it will just be a leak as PeterAllen already said.
Cruise control fixed!

Hope that helps!

the black rubber pipe feeding the vacuum to the cc unit (a bellows like thing attached to the EAS box at the back left of engine bay) disintegrates. I cut out the bad bits and reconnected them with spare air.pipe and some pull-ties

Hi and Welcome! P38 madness is not rebateable under Medicare...just saying!
If you have not done so, or perhaps are not aware of it ...you need a copy of RAVE (acronym means something like Rover Active viewing environment...)..it's 1300+ pages of searchable pdf workshop manual and electrical trouble shooting ...indispensable. you can secure a copy for a few $ ... see "Dave's interesting things" on the front page of this forum.
You can also download free software for the electronic air suspension (Welcome to RSW Solutions) ...also has instructions for making up your own cable which connects your laptop to the OBDII port under the glove-box and close to the transmission tunnel...

good luck with it!

EDIT: there's also www.rangerovers.net quite a few P38 owners from here also contribute to rr.net. It's got a wealth of information in the section "Common problems and fixes"

I noticed that behind the compresser block under the bonette that one of those small hoses had a split in it.
