Why waste your time pimping it when you'd be better off fixing known problems like the viscous fan?

Feck them wheels aint light and at speed will be like hitting a car

 

[gazzab79]

I have learnt from previous p38 ownership to not have one as a daily drive!

yup, FH12 @ 56mph + 3cwt wheel @god knows what speed as they accelerate when they depart from their host vehicle = one fecked FH12 and driver

Whenever I am late due to my RR, I will arrive at work... eventually... to find Jeep photos plastering my desk. I work with dicks.

Good luck on your drive home... ;D

Ancient Chinese proverb says 'beware of bossman who calls in favour'...that pallet load of crocodiles nobody want's to hand ball and then tramp up to the Highland Wildlife Park (the wrong side of Inverness) has your name all over it, as do the tins of kitty-kat you will be expected to feed them.....

Oh yeah...don't forget to pick some milk up on yer way home!!!!!

Of course....we've all been there but still we love our P38's....it's a perversion!

Well I finally rolled back in the yard at 20:45 never knew we had so many night staff (dint know any of them)
Got home at 21:30!!
Thats a long day when I left the house at 05:20!!
fortunatly im on a local run today and should be finished by about 16:00 fingers crossed
best part of it is I slung my "flat" wheel in the boot and blew it up to try find were its leaking and its still inflated???

Very slow loss of air from the spare is fairly normal, I inflate my spare to the maximum permitted for the tyre, you can always let a bit out if you need to use it. I check the pressure at every service
