    I can’t see the picture properly and my memory isn’t the best but I’m guessing it’s on all models. There should be a nipple at the back of modulator somewhere at the bottom that people always miss. If in doubt with a p38 generally keep bleeding...

    If the brake lines to the back have never been changed, replace them as they will be rusty where you can not see them they are atleast 20years old, here are some pics of mine they were not leaking but crumbled when you tried to move the pipes

    Thanks for the tip, I'll check the rear lines. So you're telling me that rebuilt calipers often don't work? when I did it they seemed to slide well and there are no leaks. Do you recommend I get new ones?

    Fair point about the springs, check the rear brake lines between the body and the chassis, especially above the cross member above the rear axle. They do give up in that area👍 As for a front brake différence, the calipers may just be passed...

    I don't want to talk about the reliability issue that has been talked about a lot in every part of the planet. I found the car converted to coil springs and I will leave it like that because I don't like air suspensions, I never liked them on...

    This problem needs sorting as well. Might as well add it to the list !!

    Hello everyone, unfortunately I have been very busy lately and have dedicated less time to the Rangie, the work has dragged on but I am moving forward. I have tackled the tedious task of replacing the ball joints along with the two steering rods...

    don't worry about the stains, just check that it is flat. This is the base of my 2.5 dt when I closed it, it has stains but it was perfectly flat and does not leak

    Update: got some petrol and gave it a good scrubbing, but still looking a bit stained. Might have to pick up some scotchbrite pads. Image:

    Don't worry about the staining, as long as it's not raised or dented but flat and checked with a straight edge to be found good you can rebuild it. 👍 If you start scrubbing and remove any metal at all you'll run the risk of a burn through or...
