Yeah they are both there, and they felt solid when I grabbed them. Rear one: There is a weird metal flakey thing on the prop in this picture, was this a weight or was this probably some kind of spec plate? Very thin, paper thin. And the front one: Its a petrol 4.0!

I have a question about cats. Not the animal but the exhaust gas conversion system fitted to my 4.0 1999 V8 p38. Chassisnumber is something like XA415... I have read that there are two types of cats for the V8, one for the GEMS and one for the Bosch engine. Main difference being that the GEMS...

I am on air suspension which is functioning correctly and calibrated last year so that shouldn't be the issue. I played around with the ride height on the motorway but couldn't get a clear result as there was too much traffic. I did install the shaft with the slip joint at the transfer case...

Hmm something did occur to me. I removed the front prop last year as I had to replace the bolts for the output shaft speed sensor plate on the gearbox. I don't remember of the vibration was there before these works but I think not. Can you install the prop the wrong way round? Could it be that...

I had the car on a ramp and the front propshaft u-joints are indeed slightly out of phase. Didn't take the shaft out to verify if it's 2 teeth. The rear shaft has them in phase. So the search for what's causing the vibration continues.. I did notice the lower and upper ball joint rubbers on...

Soo small update. I had the car on a ramp today and surprisingly all bushes were fine. Only the rear radius arm bushes have some hairline cracks so I will replace them with OEM rubber.

So I accidentally found the perfect aftermarket HU for the p38? That's nice to hear 😁 But yes it's ridiculously expensive. Not sure if I'm ready to spend that kind of money...

That's the exact reason I'm looking at that unit! You can choose from around 4000 colours for the backlighting, so not only can I have green backlighting I can have the correct shade of green 😁

I don't have the buttons anyways, there's blanking plates where they normally go. I guess that was part of the installation of my current head unit. The unit I'm looking at currently is this one: https://blaupunkt.com/product/frankfurt-rcm-82-dab/# I think this one will fit in the p38's...

Thank you for clearing that up! So there's advantages to having a low spec model 😅 So I understand correctly that the setup on de lowline and midline is just a basic setup like in most 90s cars: a head unit and some speakers. That means I can swap out speakers and head units as I please...

Sooo I want to change my head unit because: - it's an ugly modern aftermarket thing with incorrect backlighting - I want dab and bluetooth - the sound is dreadful, I need to amp up low gain in the HU equalizer settings to get it to sound ok but then I get buzzing from the front right door along...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Britpart poly bush kit for the p38 (DC7107)? I know many people say to never put poly bushes on a rangie as it will give a harsh ride and they don't allow enough roll. I disagree strongly with the poly bush hate. Harshness depends on...

Okay I was away for a bit but soon I'll have a go at figuring out the phasing of my propshaft. I have a feeling this may be my issue and am hoping on a near-free fix which would be nice for a change! I'll keep this topic up to date once I figure it out.

Thanks all! The pinion flange sealing face seemed okay to me when I did the seal. But installing the seal a bit deeper may be a good idea. Also worth mentioning the car has 275k kms on the clock. How can the u-joints be out of phase? I did take the drive shaft out but didn't touch the...

So I am a bit confused. I'll describe all the symptoms and what I think about it, but would like a bit of input and other opinions. So I had a leaking front diff. Leak came from the pinion seal. I replaced the seal. It nearly immediately leaked again. The leak is a very slow leak, but you can...
