Not mine but a beautiful 1990 300tdi in for a front wheel bearing. The wheel is literally ready to fall off👌😎👍

I can't remember exactly cos it's been a while but... there is a bolt , high up, on the lhs rear heat shield, that once removed, allows the heat shield to move over loads, improving access no end. I think I had to cut that bolt off as it was so...

The gearbox under tray mounts to the heat shields either side with 6 Dzus fasteners, I have binned the foam. I will have to see how much noisier it is. Got the sump back on today, 2 of the bolts are fiddly, one bolt hole can hardly be seen due...

I think peeps are getting the engine under tray mixed up with the gearbox one. My engine one was soaked in oil when I got it, ripped the foam off that but haven't got round to refitting it. My mate with a diesel has not refitted his gearbox under...

Nothing under the gearbox? I thought they all had the gearbox under tray with the sound deadening material.

It is slowly becoming a minefield of shïte for finding decent parts😵‍💫😒

A drop in replacement for the door micro switches would be useful. Some geezer on another p38 forum was 3d printing something which he claimed to be successful then went awol with no further info.

Interesting. Some clever peeps on here.

Busy developing new height sensors with my brother. The sensor itself is a non contact hall effect potentiometer. So no little wiper arms to wear out. The new sensors are going to be paired with a control PCB that lets them interface to the...

Jumper earth to mounting flange, jumper positive to the solenoid nut furthest away from the starter body. Spade terminal with a length of wire to the spade on the solenoid. Touch that wire to the positive jump lead clamp to spin the starter. No...

Shiny new sender, gave the tank a coat of some left over green chassis paint someone gave me a few yrs ago. Clashes a bit with the silver chassis .

The sender has come and is 8mm od. The plastic fuel pipe is 10mm od. Ideally I need a compression 90 deg elbow, 8mm one end and 10mm the other, easy to get in a straight fitting but appears impossible in an elbow, never mind....I'll get a 10mm to...

Bypassing an egr with a dpf fitted is not a good idea, i think. I have the 4.4 tdv8 with dpf deleted. Of course i don't drive that on the road because that's dangerous and illegal. I don't know but presume the dpf has had a sister delete but I'm...

Spare engine if it's petrol

You can get stainless nuts, fitted them to mine maybe 20 yrs ago, still look great.

That might be an option. I should of mentioned that currently I have the later 300tdi sender fitted which is now knacked, it came with a second hand tank I got off ebay, the tank unfortunately leakedwhen I removed the cradle to clean it up so...

If you are using the compression fittings drill.. Is there room to drill another hole in it & use a bulkhead fitting(allows the nylon fuel pipe through & then locks off) right angle out the tank & away you go… You can do the above on a 90 tank...
