    Anyone near Liverpool have a diagnostic tool?

    Hi, I have developed a soft EAS fault, car was leaning for a few days but now seems to be level again. Anyone near by got a diagnostic tool I could use please? Would be most appreciated. Ian

    P38 on springs- Poor ride quality!

    I haven't found the EAS to be too bad really. Had a few issues but solved them by buying affordable service kits for the compressor and valve block. Check a site run by a guy called PaulP38, he has a great guide to servicing certain parts. Like someone said earlier, the EAS gets a lot of grief...

    Clutch pedal problem

    Right you all were. I cleaned and dried underneath the rubber gator and there was no leak. Enlisted the help of a friend and we drove out all the air. The life of an amateur is a frustrating one let me tell you Thanks chaps

    Clutch pedal problem

    Sorry Alan, somehow I only read the first three letters of your username! Ok I will go and try again once the school run is over and I can get back outside to my RR. Will either report success or come crawling back for more help later Cheers guys

    Clutch pedal problem

    Hi Tom, thanks for the reply. Yes I took the slave cylinder off the bell housing, and yes I reconnected the pipes correctly. If the fork pins have sheared would I still be able to get clutch using the pumping method I am currently having to use? As I use the clutch more during driving it...

    Clutch pedal problem

    Hi, So it's a new day and once again my (not-so) trusty P38 has developed another issue. This time it seems to be of my own making, the dash readout was informing me that I had low brake/clutch fluid (both are fed from one resevoir on my car) and so I topped it up to the required level. A...

    Loud rattle coming from engine during idle P38 manual diesel

    Yep, the large central bolt did not need to come off, just the six smaller around the outside

    Loud rattle coming from engine during idle P38 manual diesel

    No more vibration than a 20 year old diesel should have. I tightened all the bolts back up, didn't use RAVE though.

    Loud rattle coming from engine during idle P38 manual diesel

    So I stripped the front end down today and removed said part. It was in a pretty bad way as far as the rubber was concerned! Anyway, I don't have the money to replace it so I just welded it into one whole piece and now the rattle has gone. Thanks a lot for the help folks

    Loud rattle coming from engine during idle P38 manual diesel

    I haven't long had it, so sometime before I owned it but could've been anytime. Like I say I changed it a few days back. One thing I forgot to mention; when I removed the fan belt the noise disappears. Is the part you're referring to somewhere in that area? When my friend was trying to explain...

    Loud rattle coming from engine during idle P38 manual diesel

    Hi, I realise that this topic has been covered many times on many forums but I still do not have an answer, so here goes. I left my 1996 2.5 DSE P38 (manual transmission) standing for three weeks while I was away, and upon my return I noticed a nasty clattering noise coming from the...

    De-pressurising the EAS?

    Haha! I was hoping someone would say that. I actually can get access to a diagnostic but the effort is for too great. Cheers
