I'm pretty sure that vintage does not have a cabin filter. If it did and the filter was plugged there would be no air flow from the defrost. Most likely there is a mode door issue. I would bet the mode door is controlled by vacuum which is supplied by the engine. The default position for the mode door is the defrost position when there is no vacuum present. This is a safety feature to ensure the windshield stays clear if there is a problem with the system. Find the vacuum leak and you should have your problem solved.

Hi Ericyou must get the codes read go to a garage they usually wont charge for it, It can be 02 sensors you may have 2 or more , your computer is detecting something wrong and if it does **** at that speed sounds like 02 not sending proper info to computer start there then work back , gas filter , fuel pump presure, air filter, plugs, fuel injectors , bad gasoline water contamination, engine over heating, thermostat stuck, all the best take it and get your engine light codes first read the code will help you garge or you take those codes to dealer and ask them there is a manual for codes trouble shooting, cheapest thing you can do right nowJoe

Low pressure line. Should be the thicker one.

Here you go.
Set timing at 6 degrees before TDC without vacuum at normal operating temperature. Spark plug gap .035-.040 You might find this site interesting, http://www.rangerovers.net/rremedies.htm#intro

the brake will work ok but abs most likely wont most common abs fault i can think of was the abs sensor air gaps to fix gently tap sensors with a hammer while watching to see if they move once gaps are set ok light should go off after roadtest

try the old style, twocore wiring at back of battery should be a blue connector this is a common place for them on older vehicles. it might even be an older system. does the vehicle have a flashing engine managment light? if so then count the flash's a few seconds gap is end of that no. for example 3quick flashes 2flashes code 32 oyur macanic should be able to find out what the codes mean if not send me the engine size,year make and model and i will try 4 u

the red brake light tells you you are low on fluid or that your parking brake is engaged....the abs light tells you your anti lock braking system is malfunctioning. get the car up to 40mph and SLAM on the brake pedal. the pedal should pulsate and the wheels should as well. if the wheels lock up and you slide to a stop, your antilockbrake system is malfunctioning and you should have a certified mechanic check it out......tires plus and midas both do free brake inspections.......

The light can be on for many reasons. Brake fluid level. Wheel spin sensor. Worn brake pads (if they have a sensor) Bad pressure sensor When you say terrible what do you mean? Shaking? Squeaking? Sqealing? (metal to metal grinding) The brakes continually pulsate?

As far as shorting out, has your car gone in very high water? If you pull the fuse for the ABS does it stop being terrible? (brakes should work fine without fuse)

No matter the car all hydraulic brakes work the same. The braking system can work without ABS, provided the ABS isn't the problem.

When I hear "shorting out" this means to me something is wrong but the person doesn't know what it is. Actual shorting is rare.

those wires are grounding out and draining the battery tape the ends up

im sure you checked this but they have a habbit of snapping front prop, i would guess this has happend and been removed. the transfer box is a borg and worner, on a p36 i have never had or heard of trouble, ive been inside p38 transfers and there is nothing to prevent 50 50 split power. the axle its the same. check the prop is still there, if so get back to me.

if you havent done it already replace the transmission fluid. it might help

It sounds like a corroded core plug.

HTH,

no year car told and worst no engine told and is an engine question. 1994 to 2001 made. 3 engines 1 is diesel,2.5 BMW any car that will not start ! the driver cranks the battery dead. so sure it can NOT start THE ENGINE now. the shop manual says in this case keep the battery charged to diagnose all fail failures, EFI,engines or all electrics resetting the BCM does not fix this. yes pulling battery neg lug for 15min and back on resets computers. there are 6 to 10 causes of a dead starter motor, and battery dead or loose rusty lugs tops the list, ever jumper cable , jump start a battery? call the AAA AUTO CLUB AND SAY JUMP ME rovor? NOW IF THE BATTERY WAS CHARGED AND WE CRANK IN PARK WE FAIL WE CRANK ALL CARS IN NEUTRAL , SEE IT DOES CRANK? HEAR THIS , THIS CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START https://freesound.org/people/drdeath666/sounds/687447/ WE CAN NOT HEAR YOU CRANK YOUR CAR, DEAF AND BLIND IN THIS TEXT BOX.(ME) IF IT DOES CRANK FAST, THAT IS A NO START ONLY ! WE SAY CRANKS FAST BUT WILL NOT START. (BATTERY GOOD) AND HAS UP TO 50 CAUSES AND 20 TESTS AND TOOLS TO FIND IT. (CHECK ALL FUSES. AND SCAN THE OBD2 SCAN PORT IS FIRST. THE CAR NEEDS SERVICE FOR SURE. the only tool less tests are fuses and cranking in neutral. just 1 eye and 1 hand does it. ok one more engine oil all leaked out. engine seized.grin! dip stick dry, via Mark one eyeball check/.

Question edited for clarity. We are in North America and no one here knows what 'P38' means except me as I am British :>D We are better with full 'year make model'. Question moved to correct Category. Immobilizer issue as mentioned in the Range rover Forums https://www.google.com/search?q=Range+Rover+148+interface+immobiliser ..

turn ignition switch on position for 20 seconds then try to lock and unlock doors.if you have sun roof open sun roof fully then close sun roof fully. then switch off ignition switch then try to start.

open glove box pull guide (users) see fuse page for relay names. try cranking in N PRNDL ,no just P ? that is first but if starter is silent the relay is not. so if relay too is silent it is bad park/neutral switch is dead. scan the PCM with a scan tool,OBD2. see why it fails easy. park lock out must work first. battery charged. key on, step on brake pedal shift from pARK tro neutral and crank the engine. if Park switch was bad, Neutral is not.(joy)

Turn off the ignition with them at the rest position. It should reverse it and trick the module controlling them.

The easy way need to be done:-Make sure the is not presure in the cooling system before do thisor release carefully.-Disconnect the upper hose from the radiator and fill water (coolant)through the hose to the engine. If water can't get in beacuse the thermostat is closed. Simply remove it and fill untill full.Mai Lor

A stuck thermostat is the likely cause of that. If you remove the radiator cap and start the engine you should see water movement.
