I think you could get 24 from a decent 4.6... if you reset the trip once up to speed

Drove with the windows down today and thought I hear an odd noise that seemed to follow engine speed. Only audible around 1700 rpm so thinking idler bearing or timing chain tensioner or similar.

OK. We'll try to get it all back together.

Not convinced my viscous is as efficient as it should be. Or maybe the radiator. Although the needle doesn't move my Engine Guard informs me the head temperature is creeping up over 95C on long steep hills.

Odd. Didn't see that post!

I think @brianp38dse has the tool and isn't far from you.

I went back to have a perv look today. It’s got no obvious markings but twin zorsts and air breather for fog lamp so I’m guessing it’s an auto V8! Lovely interior dark leather. L322 alloys with nice tyres (presuming the bottoms ain’t rotted out)...

Is it sorted?

I think given we don't know the starting point with his he'd be better off doing the static with a dial guage and then maybe using the Nanocom to move it towards the engine later to see if it helps. Someone has done something wrong here so I...

When I bought the car there was a used fuel pump in the back, so I assume it was changed. From the first EDC fault code I kind of concluded that the someone who swapped the FIP didn't put it back properly as it being a bit loose could be causing...

You can get UV dye to go in the coolant and then use a UV torch to see where it is leaking. As Data says, heater matrix, o-rings for said matrix, coolant hoses (check the one behind the engine by the bulkhead with a mirror), expansion cap and...

Look under the carpet in the right hand footwell for signs of coolant.

Hmmm. How much pressure in there?

You found a house under some brambles? A brothel of some sort?

I don't need to press resume, when i let off the accelerator it drops down to whatever speed was set and auto resumes

I went out to it, started it up, praised the lord it worked, something else broke, swore a lot, locked it, swore some more, made a coffee and now pretending it doesn't exist.

That's how all my past cars with cruise have worked. Kermie's is still playing mind games. Maybe he should stop staring at images of P38s.

Braking cancels mine until I press resume. Accelerator work then it automatically resumes the set speed when you lift off.

At least it saves me having to speak to her indoors

I've had zero bites so far...I'm sure the FIP can be fixed, and bought a genuine Bosch seal kit recently in a bid to inspire some enthusiasm...which it hasn't yet...It's probably that sinking feeling that I've been getting a lot with all my...

For cancelling on my cars but maybe it needs a foot to the floor to kick in.

Dont bother trying to press the old bushes out run a drill bit through the bush a couple of times just catching the inside of plastic outer and you should be able to collapse the outer and hook them out with a screw driver.

Hard to beat OEM shocks on the P38 for road use.

Boge were original and seem best to me.

OK. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. If no-one else bites then let me know and I'll have a word with my boss. We have a double-axle trailer at work that I suspect could handle a P38A but I need to check and I need to see if he'll let me...

The poly go in easier but if you get grit in there they can wear away. Some people find the handling crisper but slightly harsher ride. Rubber are harder to get in without the taper tool and press. Seeing as the originals lasted over 15 years I...

Why would it?!

Must be a big tupperware box for the steel bumpers ?

Diagnostics for clutch calibration lord help us, whatever next?

Clutch calibration?! Oh, how have we foundered?!
