Wound tighter than a violin E-string this bloke is

The latest gents Running like clockwork! A slight oil leak from a failed filter housing seal and another from the oil cooler. Otherwise good as new. Just a fan and transmission tunnel carpet to fit

Here, I can have a pre-MOT test at a reduced fee.

yes but not my cars, someone else can be the % This is project P38 since getting it on the road. Previous MOT was 2014 before I bought it !!

Last year I put vacuum on my Blue P38 AC system, but didn't get round to having it gassed. Re-checked to day & it still has full vacuum, so hopefully gonna get it done this week. Green P38 AC is nice & cold, so that one is getting used...

The other next steps is a banch test like this: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/97-p38-gems-eas-issue-which-seems-to-have-expanded.387706/post-5576496

You were the one saying to were offended !! Most of us just want you to go ahead and do it & report the outcome after the trip.

As I said earlier (although the 8 speed) it will change, when doing manually it sort of takes it out of auto for a time. When that times out it then goes back to auto mode, and could potentially just change down again. We only notice it when...

You may be able to manually select 5th gear but it's the electronics that will decide if the shift takes place.

GEMS has an additional cover plate, but I think the 1999 onwards it's part of the sump on Thor engine ? Not sure about diseasel though. The bell housing inspection plate should be enough to see the flex plate on all types ?

My local MOT guy will do a dummy MOT test for the standard fee. That way I can fix it before the real test & avoid fails or advisories.

Come on you two, sort this argument out! 😝

But you've got it sorted. Just dont do it again 🫵😝

Tried that but access is a bar steward and the washers get in the way. This was easier.

Just to be clear though... it was your choice not to just cut them off wasn't it?

Quiksteel didn't work. Close but plastic just deforms. Drill the RHS one and that was enough to wedge a punch in there and undo the bolt from the remains of the nut. Tried the same trick on the other side, rust dropping in my eyes, ears, hair...

Arrr, I understand and we wouldn't be bored. You know we all like pictures🤗

I took a couple of photos this afternoon and was going to post., Then thought she looks just as nice as she did when I got her back from bodyshop, so why bore you with more of the same. She's just a pretty L322 being a pretty L322 🤣

I have enough problems 😂😂😂

Just trying to help you get rid of your tat mate :). Maybe mr @LR-hobbs notices. J

They can be fitted directly onto each (4x) lines individually or fitted with a T piece and left in place with compressor and valve block in place. Pull the relay and the compressor and valve block do nothing. J

I also have two compressor and a full EAS block for sale 🤣 @marjon

Jack under the chassis to extend the bag for removal, second jack under the axle for refitting. do not lower the chassis until there is air in the bag.

So I presume jack it up put it on a jack stand either side disconnect the r clip and air line then lower the jack to get the bags out? ( For the rear ) Is that correct

Didi deflate? I can't remember. But i did have a nanocom. Otherwise set to access mode.. jack up so the wheel is off the ground (need to do that anyways) and i can't imagine there's much pressure in there

For the schrader valves, pop the lines out of the valve block, easy enough, push in on the collet ring, then pull on the pipe. Going in from the compressor feed will do nothing if there is a fault present.

And you still have it for sale, discounted for a member, don’t you? J

I sold my 38 to someone who said confidently oh my mate is a mechanic legend. After locking himself out of the car, buggering up the sync etc it lays idol on his drive. However, I did as a good chap lend him the nano to resolve the issue for...
