    When I did my P38 4.0 got the Arp Studs from https://www.realsteel.co.uk/ in West Drayton. Was a genuine kit & cheaper than most other suppliers. Price depends if you have 10 or 14 per head.

    Check the connector ?? Also check what values you are getting in the Inputs screen, rather than just faults.

    Outside handle attaches to green clip. Inside handle attaches to the lever circled in blue. Both of them operate the same metal lever, so the problem is likely to be one of these attachment points. About 6:30 into the video below shows the...

    Not sure about US suppliers, but I have used both X8R eBay & 4x4airseals. X8R also has their own website. Definitely check duty & shipping for each. Bottom line cheap compressor repair kits will mean you have to do it again soon !!

    Yes KpA. LP generally stays at same value (unless the pump is knackered). HP should be around 28000 at tickover, but rises to over 100000 at high engine load & revs. Plenty of KPA to PSI or BAR converters online, so just let us know what your...

    Normally you just "Uninstall Device". The driver you need is probably the VCP which means Virtual Com Port.

    Position wise, on a P38 it's where the cam sensor usually goes, but they normally have 3 wires. Maybe that one is grounded through it's case ?

    You definitely need to check the actual cable hardware in Device Manager. Although you selected FTDI, that does not confirm the cable is that type.
