About

Why?

PaulP38A.com is a bit of fun for me and hopefully of some use to other Range Rover owners.

I’ve got this crazy notion that maybe someday I’ll be able to turn my passion/hobby in to something that lets me live in the manner that I am accustomed to (or would like to be). Not just yet, but maybe someday…

Is this a Commercial Venture?

There is no commercial agenda for this site (see Update 1 below) and I won’t ask you for a donation. Maybe one day I’ll consider putting some Google ads on here to help cover costs but that is a low priority.

Update 1: as of February 2010, I am a co-owner of Hard Range Australia so I am declaring interest now. This site is still for my personal projects, and Hard Range is a hobby business that lets me get cheap parts for my own Land Rovers and help out other Land Rover and Range Rover enthusiasts.

    Paul – I’ve bought stuff of your Hard Range website before. In fact we met in Syndney one time. I’ve now relocated to Melbourne and wondered if you new of any good reliable mechanics (or Independent LR specialists) that I could trust with a wheel bearing replacement? Plus a regrease of the other three.

    Cheers. Sean.

    Good to hear from you Sean. Can’t speak from experience with mechanics in Melbourne I’m afraid. Best suggestion is to ask the guys on the P38 Forum at AULRO
    Cheers, Paul.

    Hi from Los Angeles ( I am French ) .
    I own 2 RR Classic 95 ( and a rare FACEL 6 cabriolet ).
    I just rebuilt one of the valve blocks and put it on the car I am driving everyday .
    With pigtail manual test it seems to perform well but there is a leak (possibly the same as before the rebuilt since all o-rings and diaphragm were in good shape ) .
    It seems that the hiss (with a tube in my ear ) comes from the pressure switch .
    I read something on your website .
    Is it a possibility ?
    Thx if you can give me a hint .

    JPH

    Hi JPH – swap the pressure switch over if you have a spare, or maybe the spare valve block. Internal leaks seem to be most often caused by the small o-rings on the solenoid valves in my experience and of reading on the forums. Good luck.
    Cheers, Paul.
