3mm to 5mm or 8mm to 5mm not a big difference from what you have now. That's why I swap front to back on services to keep the wear even.

Swapping things without good reason can lead to more problems. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Use CUNIC for the pipes, it's pretty cheap and easy to make the pipes up, I have had to replace the rear pipes on my P38.

The gearbox under tray mounts to the heat shields either side with 6 Dzus fasteners, I have binned the foam. I will have to see how much noisier it is. Got the sump back on today, 2 of the bolts are fiddly, one bolt hole can hardly be seen due...

Found a bolt about 20 yards away from my car. Odd thing is, the paint colour on it matches my car perfectly. Cannot see a bolt missing from any of the wings, doors or tailgate. Very odd. Of course, it may not be mine but what would be the chances...

circlips dont just ping off

Flux-Capacitor? ;)

I have a Hawkeye V5 for the P38 for sale. It covers numerous modules on the P38 and even comes included with the cable for the air suspension. I am including a memory stick with the V5 instruction manual and also a working copy of Rave. £280...

That's sound like a plan , not to worry I asked it really nicely with a hammer and it's now off

No comment.

I love that color! Well, I managed to plug the trailer socket. Aparently it s too much to ask for normed cables, e.g. for standardized 13 pin sockets, to adhere to a color scheme. At least the pin usage is common between providers... Anyway...

Not mine but a beautiful 1990 300tdi in for a front wheel bearing. The wheel is literally ready to fall off👌😎👍

Is the viscous fan working properly? Is the water pump working properly?

If the fan has a viscous coupling, it may that it has failed, a common problem.

More electronics = more to go wrong in my experience. The rear sensors on both my P38's are original and still working fine after 25+ years, the fronts were replaced 14 years ago on one and about 6 years ago on the other one so hardly...

You could find one with a good rad and keep this one as donor. If no MOT Itl be laid up anyhow? Just depends on your personal preference. I would mention you should ask the boys here what happens when you go down the rabbit hole of scrapper...

Interesting. Some clever peeps on here.

Busy developing new height sensors with my brother. The sensor itself is a non contact hall effect potentiometer. So no little wiper arms to wear out. The new sensors are going to be paired with a control PCB that lets them interface to the...

<Monty Python voice> "tis but a scratch"

Definitely too many faults reported. Cannot believe two airbags & two crash sensors have all failed ?? As above check the diagnostic connector for corrosion. Also check the SRS Bulbs in the cluster. There are usually two, & if one fails...

Plus there is a collar molded into the pipe to aid insertion, if the pipe has been cut back, the collar will prevent full insertion.

The rear airlines are much harder to get into the airbags than the fronts. Maybe they are simply not fully seated ?

Today way better: The indicator lights, fog light, front and tail lights, warning flasher, they all work. Indocator lights were tricky, the frint right hand one had weird wiring issues... Luckily, I had some spares! The tailgate wiring is now...

Hard to see pin hole leaks in melted pipes.

Seems the King (flipping M70) wants me to stop postin anyway. Well tough cheddar!!! 🤣 Good on you, mate.:):):)

Now hey boy, I say hey boy. The cat can look at the queen but the queen can't make me happy👌

Happy to hear it. So why you spendin so much time looking at the top totty thread?? Hmmm???!!!;)

Very true👍 The word consistent isn't anymore🤷

Take your pick 😜

Thanks for asking young lady. Wow.. I definitely won the lottery and a second chance to do things right.. The word happy doesn't get close to how I feel💝
