Welcome to PaulP38A, a site dedicated to Land Rovers and in particular the P38A Range Rover.
There are plenty of great Land Rover sites around the net that I use as a reference. My favourite reference site is RangeRovers.net.
My favourite Land Rover forums are Australian Land Rover Owners, RangeRovers.net Forum and LandyZone where you can often find me lurking using the name “PaulP38A”.
With a name like PaulP38A, it doesn’t take too much imagination to figure that my name is Paul and I have a P38A Range Rover or two. My “fleet” also includes 2001 Freelander Td4 and a 2005 Holden Crewman “Cross 6″ AWD.
I’ve broken this site down in to several sections that I’ll add to as time permits. The menus across the top of the page link to the various vehicles and projects that I’ve been working on.
While I may not be very diligent at updating the narrations and content on this site, I tend to take a lot of pictures of the projects that I’m working on. You can find a lot of pictures of my projects at PaulP38a.com Gallery
Please browse away and leave feedback. I hope you find something useful here.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Paul, Your site looks just great. I have just had a major breakdown with my EAS and had to drive home on the bumpstops.
Can you recomend a “kicker” brand and type to get me out of trouble if it ever happens again.

Hi Max, you might be aware that I am co-owner of Hard Range Australia and we do sell these fault reset tools. I’ve also used all of them myself. You’ve given me inspiration to do a comparison of them for the site. Will try to do this real soon.
In a nutshell:
For a quick reset the EAS Kicker Lite from Blackbox is hard to beat. The downside is that it does not tell you what the fault was.
The EAS Buddy from RSW Solutions is brilliant as it remembers what the fault was and you can read it later from your PC or Mac like a USB thumb drive.
The FaultMate Extreme from Blackbox does a lot more than clear EAS codes, but is also the most expensive of the tools we carry.
An EAS Unlock Cable is cheap (or you can make it yourself), but requires a Windows laptop or PC to operate. Great tool for the garage at home as it also lets you modify height values and manually operate the compressor. The “free” EAS Unlock Suite from RSW Solutions is absolutely fantastic and is my tool of choice for playing around with the EAS.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Paul.
