Happy Easter all, Sorry I've been quiet but work has got in the way again. Since the below has happened it's been parked up. It will be a museum fuel tank soon as the fuel was £1.02 a litre when it was filled up :D:D:D It started on a drive back from Warwick a few weeks ago, around 120 mile...

Firstly big thanks to Mark for letting me abuse him again. It was fun. That's all I'm saying :cool: Oh and helping me bleed the brakes, swap the pads, rotate the wheels and fit my new Terrafirma shocks. No complaints from SWMBO on the ride quality being worse, she says it feels much better now...

In case this happens to anyone else, whilst on my bulb swapping expedition I found that my rear offside outer light cluster had lost one nut and was about to lose another! No idea how after all these years but luckily I found it. Anyway looking at the surviving nut I thought that looks...

Hi all, I have used the search but it's not coming up with a full bulb type. i'm sure Wammer's sent it to me a long time ago but I've lost it. Does anyone have the complete list of bulb types please. Rave is not very clear. My rear outer lights, middle bulb has blown but I can't find an H168...

Hi all, I have the rave printouts with me and rave on my pc. I have purchased this TC0930FK full timing chain kit from Advance factors. I'm trying to ascertain what else I need as I've read some can do this without removing the head and sump and RAVE says you need to remove / undo both. The...

I have a chance for a 4.6 LPG (multipoint) and have spoken with the owner. The only problem he knows of is the HEVAC book comes on and goes off. New block with top hats fitted and head gaskets swapped out in the last 12 months. Is this a good buy for 600 miles a week commuting? Cornwall to...

Hi all, Just asking for sage advice here (from the 3 wise men, and any others as well :cool:). I have changed ATF oil after 6 months - it was almost black Changed the in tank fuel pump as I found it had failed Changed the fuel filter as well So I don't think it's a fuel starvation issue - but...

Hi all, Starter packed up again so it got removed and is being repaired over the weekend. However I found another problem that I didn't spot when I removed it last time :rolleyes:. The opposite end coolant pipe (heater feed pipe) at the rear of the engine appears to be leaking. I can't fix it...

Hi all, I have a spare heater box and decided to look at why after managing to get all but the top 2 flaps out, sanded back and now smoothly running, that after reassembly it jammed up again. I sanded back all the ends of the shafts (plastic) with wet and dry and took my time. They are all now...

Bloody car. So my wife drives to the village for the morning bread run, parks up, buys bread gets back into car. Turns key. Click. Turns key again. Click. Walks 2.5 miles back home. So I walk back this afternoon to inspect (intuition is now saying fuse box must be todays gremlin). Open the...

For sale as it doesn't fit my P38 DSE air filter box, bought by mistake. £5 plus postage cheers, Hoppy

Hi all, The EAS has been working now for 3 months. Gremlins have now struck. Does anyone know what could cause the EAS to pressurise to 120 then depressurise to 20ish, then pressurise to 110, then depressurise, then to 80 psi then depressurise. Then it won't pressurise again? I suspect the...

Hi all, We have a petit maison in Rochechouart and on our next run down if anyone is feeling sociable and not *too* far off the peage myself & SWMBO are happy to share a cuppa :D Calais - A16, A28, A10, Rouens, Tours, Le Mans & Poitiers. Sunray also says even if anyone is not feeling sociable...

Hi guys, I have changed the rotary coupler for an flea bay special as after reading many of these SRS posts it's mostly the rotary coupler that's the problem. I have searched on here and no code 065 specific posts that I can find. Nanocom gives me this code now: CODE 065 INVALID FAULT CODE...

Hi all, My FIP saga finally ended when I bought a replacement engine. Trying to find reputable P38 mechanics / specialists is a bloody nightmare as we all know. All I wanted was the static timing done. Then I noticed the occasional EML flash as my foot lifted from the throttle. Search RR sites...

Happy New Year all, Due to the limited window of opportunity with swapping out dying remote batteries before the fobs lose sync I now use an RTL USB TV dongle with SDR software (usb sticks are about £6-10 from fleabay or similar. SDR console is free or GQRX in Linux). A very cheap spectrum...

Hi all, More love from my P38 :-) P38, 2.5 dse, older ally manifold engine. V reg Car was getting harder and harder to start then just stopped. Sounded like no fuel getting through. Now for fault finding fun! Put clear pipe between filter & FIP. Fitted new fuel filter (just in case). Fully...

Hi all, I finally got the turbo off to clean & check it and the waste gate. Waste gate actuator seemed stuck but after some persuasion with wd40 and a bit of time it's now moving. Actuator seems ok now so I'm going to refit unless someone has advice otherwise. Does anyone have either the part...
