I was going to go with Joying as I like the ribbon screen connection as it has less constraints, but at the moment I'm leaning towards EKIY. They use the same hardware as Joying, and the reviews on EKIY put them on par with Joying byt they are a lot cheaper. Plenty of very good reviews for them...

I just want to be clear, you don't think I should fit one?

I do tend to agree. I guess what I'm trying to convince myself of is if the tech contrast will look minimal enough to justify the benefits. One benefit of the change is whilst I do like the look of the P38 dash, I think it's a little busy with so many buttons that the screen cleans it up a bit...

I really can't decide whether to put a modern Android touch screen radio in my 2000 P38 or not. On one hand, I would really like a reversing camera, DAB radio, decent modern built in sat-nav and a Bluetooth connection to my phone for calls and music. Anything else it would offer would just be a...

My 4.0 2000 is the only P38 I've ever driven so not sure if the gearbox feel is normal. It's a little slow to change gear. Let say I'm going down a hill, dropping it form D to 2nd It's a good couple of seconds between each gear change. Is this normal? Sometime it's also not as silky smooth as I...

Maybe I'm an idiot but I've never torqued a wheel nut. I just do them pretty tight, and then a nudge more for luck. This is probably tighter than 140nm, but nowhere near as tight as they come back from the tyre fitters.

You can't insure a toilet seat in London for £90. Someone will nick it just for the shiny bolts holding it on.

£15 back then in today's money is about £300. I'm guessing the equivalent car today would be a 20 odd year old Mondeo. You could possibly insure that for £300 in some parts of the country. On the inflation thing, it's just number changing, but for good reason. If you have deflation then people...

I assume it doesn't matter if you're holding it with the foot brake or the hand brake? My guess it only occurs at a certain RPM which only happen under stationary idle under load. In which case it could be any of the many brackets in the engine bay rattling around. Can you hold it on the hand...

I also found Footman James the cheapest at £550. Adrian Flux wouldn't insure me. Think I was asking for 4000 miles per year, no points, no accidents but living in Croydon which is full of NEDs.

Yep, in the OP he says: "It has done this for a long time and with different valve blocks and driver packs." Sounds like he's replaced almost everything so it's a head scratcher.

He said he replaced the valve block though. This is weird. Only other possibility is the height sensor giving funny readings causing the ECU to squirm a bit. Could try swapping the front sensors across. When the front goes down down slowly can you hear the solenoid clicking? Could be a sign of...

Try pulling the hose out of the valve block and see how quickly that corner goes down. Should be quick.

I wonder of there is a restriction in the bag inlet that makes it slow to deflate. A flappy bit of rubber over the inlet could result in your symptoms.

Ah yes of course. Forgot about the extended setting.

I've just thought of something. Could leaving it running actually be the issue? I appreciate this is the opposite of what you are suggesting. If the suspension is fully extended and the engine is running, the ECU is going to think that it's too high and release air, only to find it never reaches...

Not looking for an argument, just a suggestion. If it did fail due to being on the 2 post ramp, there's a clue in there what problem(s) the car might have had before it went on the ramp. Do you find it on bump stops over night? I assume not as you said it was working fine before. So if it's...

I've not read this entire thread, but I think your being a little unfair to your garage. I usually do all my own work, but when I've asked for simple things from auto-electricians, like crimping on new battery terminals they refuse to do the work because they don't want a response similar to...

I am seriously tempted to buy some of these universal cable operated knobs and doing away with the blend motors. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201955247532 If anyone has a broken manual dial HVAC head unit they want to sell cheap, I'd like to have an experiment with one. On eBay they are over £100.

That's a real shame. That really is over complicating the system for no reason. I hoped it might be cable as when I removed the left blend motor the air box flap had a redundent arm on it that looked like a cable could be attached.
