I seriously doubt that in this case. LR knows what they have in the Defender and they know that the LR reputation is based on that. What the manufacturer really wants is a car that conforms to new regulations and safety standards and can actually be built with a profit margin left w/in the...

As Scott said in the OJ LR4 thread, the LR4 is amazing off road when compared to a D1 stock/stock. Having driven the LR4 off road, I can only concur. I am seriously looking fwd to trying an L405 'in anger' :). Unfortunately I am not one of those with a ranch or property on Nantucket Island, so I...

I frequent RR boards in the UK, Germany, the US and lurk on French LR boards: this discussion is going on absolutely everywhere. All the people that consider themselves 'hard-core' consider the new RR to be a mall cruiser. I have never seen it put better, tho: Will most new RRs see anything...

It might just be me, but I do not think that Justin is going to pansy the P38...

I disagree. Modern vehicles are not inferior - they are safer, cleaner, more economical - and more capable. There will be DIYers in the future - the DIYer is going to have to change tools and thinking, but the maintenance and repair of modern, electronic controlled vehicles is becoming cheaper...

Actually, we can turn TPMS off. This was very well received in Europe. :-p There are a large number of features that can be altered or modified in the CCF - car configuration files. This includes little items such as the key-in-ignition warning chime when the driver's door is opened, the low...

Thanks, Scott! The last vid "RRS lowering" is the one I wanted to post showing raising/lowering the EAS. This is the EASControl on a RRSport, but the RRS and LR3 are more or less the same electronics-wise and the EAS functions are the same in the IIDTool. The EASControl has only the EAS...

Scott, Yeah - we get a lot of requests for raising the off road speed limit from Australia. And I know exactly how much of a PITA the speed limit can be even w/o hundreds of miles of outback in front of me. I use the bong and the drop to standard height as a terrain indicator: if I hear the bong...

Thanks for the kudos, guys. I am actually quite happy to see it mentioned here on ExPo. We at GAP-Diagnostic are a bunch of LR enthusiasts - and using the IIDTool in this sort of environment is exactly what we had envisioned when we created it. Modern LR's are fantastic vehicles but traveling to...

I said I'd stay away, but... Me too, Jack. I owned one and managed another. On both sides of the Atlantic. Me too, Jack. I could do a sig just like yours. At present: RRC 2Dr, RRC 4dr, P38, and LM/L322/MKIII (so the experts know which model I'm trying to designate). And non-LR: a 911, a Bug...

Your words, not mine. I never even alluded to anything of the sort. 'Worse than it is'. Don't misquote me, Jack. And I don't see a 'good' there - or in the 'eurotrash'. Go back and read. Dissect, like you so ably did your own eloquent comment. BTW, Jack, been meaning to ask. Your play, your pun...

Absolutely. Something I've been meaning to do about this is have it all turned off - alarm, immobilizer, etc. From what I've read, this can be done with a Rovacom/Faultmate (and I've got a Testbook :( ). I'm still not sure exactly how much this would do as the engine ECU and the BeCM need to...

No it's not. Because Jack's statement is utter BS and makes the P38 sound even worse than it is. EDIT: For clarity, I'm talking about the POS parts being built at the same time as the POS car statement

I wasn't asking you to state the obvious, I was simply looking for the substantiation that you said it exactly like you meant it. You'll have to excuse my naivety, Jack, but I had a hard time believing anyone could be - mmmm - so negative. I was sorta hoping you'd come back and say 'I'm somewhat...

:) Congrats & many happy miles. The bimmer fund sounds like a plan. Do get some pics up. If you haven't already, check out the P38 forum over at rangerovers.net. Thanks, but it really wasn't very hard. I'd been jumpering the pins at the ECU for years (see the EAS field recovery page at RR.net)...

Aside from the weight up high, it works out fine. We were on a track in the mountains this past summer where I had no choice but cross a slope sideways. The missus - out of the car spotting me - tells me to stop and then proceeds to tell me very calmly that the high-side rear wheel is bouncing...

******? Care to explain this comment?

My first post here and, as a long-time P38 owner, I've gotta dive in head-first. First the important poop. The designation P38 was never official - during development it was code named 'Pegasus' at LR and developed in building 38A at Solihull, so unofficially it became the P38A or just P38. At...
