Update time, after my little test and checking for any signs of the head gasket having blown... all of which so far have come up blank I've been scratching my head as where to go next. It finally left a nice big patch of water on the drive! Right under the new water pump, finally something to...

I got a cheap steering damper for the P38 from a local supplier about 4 months ago, as it was in a bag I'm not sure who made it but its fooked already! the bushes are shot! Last time I buy cheap

Damn, missed this one! Anyone keep any pics?

Depend how badly it packed in I suppose, did it overheat or just conk out on you?

I'll second that, its just too aimed at the WAG/socialite set for my liking... too style over function, but then thats probably the old fart in me coming out!

Cheers guys, I'll i'll have to go hunting and see who stocks them. Right, tried the test I found today. Pulled all the plugs topped up the water till it was brimmed, Turned the overflow so it was pointing up so I could get the level right to the top and see it from the drivers door as I was by...

The cap is releasing as far as i can tell as theres signs of water all down the inner wing but i've not tested it, wasn't aware you could? but saying that, I'll replace it anyway to be safe I think. Checked the hose again last night as part of my daily little routine to moniter its water...

You can't compress it at all by hand, its brick hard and bulging the hose! but it the same temp over its length so I'm deducing there's no air in there. Weather has been horrific today but hopefully get out tomorrow and try this gas test thing I posted early. If it comes back as exhaust gases in...

:hysterically_laughi Saw that as well, so its true... you really can polish a turd! There's hope for us all!

My thoughts exactly Saint.V8, will a slipped liner give the exact same symptoms of a failed head gasket or is there a difference? My thoughts were if its a cracked block which has caused the liner to slip then the water level would still overflow as the exhaust gases pass in the water jacket...

Found something interesting guys when hunting around, any reason this little test wouldn't work on the V8? Sounds like simple genius to me! I`ve got a FREE method of checking for combustion gas leaks into the water jacket all you need is a spark plug socket and a watering can. 1. remove all 6...

Right guys really need your advice. Been reading on here and the various other forums about slipped liners and head gasket problems but have found a lot of conflicting advice on the subject and my head is spinning! My rangie is a 95 4.0 with a nats hair under 70k on the clock. Just recently I...

I got them from a mate that deals with allmakes and britpart but they were in boge boxes and label as such on the shocks. I've got 18" Disco 3 wheels on and run the factory 28f 38r. Despite the back seeming high if I lower it the things all over the road! I've got OEM rubber bushes for the...

Hi guys, Changed my shocks a few weeks back with Boge dampers and have to say I'm a little unimpressed with the ride. its more controlled in bends but good god its harsh over speed bumps and pot holes, a lot worse then the originals. Are there different types of Boge dampers out there for the...

Baz, your a pimp, a drug dealer and a chav... ;)

I'll have to give that a try next time I renew, suppose its just plain laziness that I just click and buy! :rolleyes:

I've always had good quotes from the price comparison sites to be honest, embarrassingly i'm now with... of all people... sheilas wheels! :o:o:o I pay £320 for myself, 33 with 5 years NCB and my missus 28 also with 5 years NCB. Admittedly thats in a quiet postcode though. I always use...

Ok, pipe is spot on. No cracks or splits and the MAF is genuine. Mate with the MSV is going to check if he's got a MAF. Sadly what I thought was a petrol P38 is actually a diesel but reakons he might have one on his 4.6 engine in the garage... worth a try anyhow but sadly I can't be assured...

I saw one of those new evoque go by at the weekend and from the front it looked quite nice but the back looks terrible! Like someone sat on it! How did you find the rear view visability? it looked smaller then a pill box window!

Ok, so I'll have a nose at the FPR and check the coil over the weekend. Cheers guys Having a further look on the net and read a bit about reseting the adaptive values after changing any sensors over. Does this need to be done with the ECU temp sensor? As it would maybe explain why its not...
