Fairly straightforward operation actually. I always would suggest consulting Rave or hardcopy workshop manual. (Both can be downloaded for free on the internet with a minimal of search effort)
1. Make sure that your engine is "overnight" cool.
2. Place a oil change pan or similar large catch area container under the center point of radiator.
3. Put safety goggles or other eye protection on, sufficient to block splashing from any angle.
4. With a large blade standard screwdriver loosen the plastic drainplug, confirm correct placement of the catching container then remove plug.
( As you probably know but important enough to.mention, antifreeze/coolant is extremely toxic for the environment, poisonous to small children, and deadly to pets especially dogs. An ingredient of the chemical actually will attract animals, pets and dogs due to a sweet flavor and when they find it will consume it with sure mortal consequences. Dispose of properly, your local auto parts store will most likely have free disposal for you or be able to advise you.)
5. With coolant drained remove the hose clamp from the end of the radiator, bottom passenger side. I find this most easily done with a pair of vise-grips. Lock them on and you are free to move the clamp and hose as needed.
6. Repeat same for top hose and expansion tank hose.
7 with all hoses.disconnected, return to bottom of radiator and on each end you will find a nut securing the radiator to the frame. (10mm I believe) remove both.
8. once this is done, assuming you first removed top fan cowling and unclipped the shroud (best to leave shroud hanging around fan as you will have to break it to remove in advance of radiator removal) the radiator is unattached except for the rubber bushes at each end on the top.
9. With a firm "juggle and pull" you should sense your radiator break free to slide up and out of its frame like bread from a toaster.
10. Replace simply in reverse order.
A couple additional suggestions, replace all your hoses, flush your engine thoroughly, as well as the new radiator prior to reconnection. If doing it on the skinny, at the very least replace your expansion tank hard line. If any type of stop leak or other mechanic in a bottle was used due to overheating etc, I also suggest replacing the expansion tank. The entire system can be crippled by clogging of the 2 mm flow hole incorporated into the tank top.
Finally, once installed, you must bleed or "burp" your cooling system.
range rover p38 manual
how do i change a p38 range rover thernostatPetrol version - open the bonnet (US: hood). Look for bottom hose of radiator and follow it up to find the thermostat. Disconnect the hose unions and watch your coolant disappear. (Do not try this indoors.) Undo two mounting bolts, remove and replace with new unit. Reassemble in reverse order. Refill with coolant.

Hi, Try typing "P38 Range Rover" into this site, http://pdftown.com/ and download from the "mirror" site. I paid £6.99 for this file elsewhere!
To find a used Range Rover P38 in Edinburgh, try the dealers Pentland Land Rover or John Clark. You might also find a used P38 on Gumtree or Trovit Cars, and AutoTrader is also a likely place to find one.
AS long as it's a p38 so yes.
The Range Rover P38 ('99-02) with the Bosch petrol engine doesn't have a fuel filter.
well it depends if its a 4.0 se p38 it will fit. but if it is a range rover classic 3.9 swb or 4.2 lwb it wont fit 1995 was the only year they made the p38 and the classic at the same time in america
