heres an idea to stop damage to the oil cooler and my wallet. the bottom of the pipe next to the oil filter is the bit that needs changing as it leaks. as the pipe is metal then rubber,then metal.(from bottom to top), could i cut the top metal pipe and connect the new cooler pipe (which is...

i need to change the oil cooler pipe on a 1998 p38 4lt,the pipe next to the oil filter to the n/s of the cooler. i've read that the aluminium threads on the cooler are usually knackered when the pipe is undone. how likely is this to happen? is there any tips on getting the pipe off without...

i changed the oil in my 98 4ltr p38, and now it seems to leak (drip) from the genuine l r oil filter.i find a small 3" circle of oil every morning.i did it up hand tight, but can i tighten it up abit with some grips, or would it damage it? or any other ideas? thanks

stop pannicking.i've checked it.its not moving about.just needed a bit of padding around the edge.

i've checked the mounting brackets and they are tight.i don't think any padding was put down before the tank was placed in the well.the tank is very secure, but bolted through the centre,and there is a small bit of movement.i have tucked a towel around under the edges.i'll see what thats like...

every time we go over a pot hole or bump i've noticed a clunking noise coming from the rear.after investigating it, i know its the lpg tank in the spare wheel well. i had the gas serviced in the middle of last year,so it should be ok. should i try and stuff a towel underneath it or should it be...

how do i remove the o/s rear door card. i have removed the 2 armrest screws and the door release lever plate screw. am i missing any more screws? or should it just pop off now thanks

cheers wammers,that rubber hose trick is one of the best tips i've heard in ages. changed the plugs today.it was a bit cross threaded on the hole as suspected,but the new plug went in ok.its running alot smoother but the leads have seen better days,so i am going to replace them next. thanks...

Thanks for the great advice and the correction on the threaded/cross threaded mistake. i may have mis-lead the first 14 posts on this thread. new plugs are on way from spark plugs are us (cheaper than ebay!) will know when i replace them. thanks

thanks for the link,not a problem (thought the head was gonna have to come off. cheers

yes p38 1998 4ltr lpg (how do you know that?) its the wife's car. yes i used a plug socket so it maybe that.it seemed to be tight most of the way out, is this normal? on my 1962 vw splitscreen (my daily driver and a lot more reliable) the plug needs 1/4 turn then can be undone by hand.

ok,cheers,gonna get a new set of plugs anyway. but what if the hole has threaded,thats what worries me.what can be done? thanks

just took a spark plug out to see which ones i need (as it is lpg and i might need certain ones.) as i gently put it back in i think it may have threaded.now i'm abit scared to change it, and the whole set. i started the car and it seems alright. what should i do if it has threaded. thanks

my p38 was losing water . no signs of leaks or contamination either. i put a bottle of k seal in and its been fine ever since. only a tenner, might be worth a try! has the engine overheated at all?

i got the front diff bit . dont understand the gkn sorry

hasn't it got a self tensioning pulley that i slacken off with a 15mm spanner to get the belt off. and then springs back to tension the belt. how can i overtension the belt? thanks
