Hi, I wondered if anyones ever had an issue with a leaking abs valve block? Half way to work this morning the brake pedal went soft and warning started flashing up on the dash about low brake fluid. I notice some over the resivour and abs block leading down to the lower arms. I'm really hoping...

:eek: Ok point taken, thanks for all the advice

Its not overheating and all been fine , just noticed the water coming out then seen the split. I just put it down to a cheap rad that it only lasted 2 years? Surely the hoses would of gone first though if there was too much pressure?

Not even from the outside without using the stuff you put in the radiator?

Hi, my p38 radiator was replaced 2 years ago. I got one of those ones of ebay for £150, the plastic ones. However its cracked at the top, little skint at the moment, anyone think i could do a fix on it just for the time being? If so whats best to use? Anyone know of a good supplier for these...

I left it on full height last night and it didnt drop overnight so not sure if theres a leak. I took out fuse and its staying at the standard ride height, but its just annoying as it beeps saying max 35 mph now! I'm just a bit worried its going to play up when i put the fuse in and forget what...

Ok thanks for all the advice

Thanks for reply Derek, so this would keep the existing air in the air bags would it and keep it at the same ride height??

Hi, I have a problem with my eas on my p38, on half an hour of driving it today it did not fully come off bump stops. I could hear the pump working. Thing is its ok now. I did this a couple of months ago and then was ok so did not get it fixed. Any ideas? I cannot afford to get it fixed at the...

It starts but takes a long time when cold. Sometimes you can be turning it over for a long time, and somethimes so long you end up having to jump start it? The plugs havent been changed for a while, wonder if i'm best to change them anyway or just volt test them first?:confused:

Thanks for all the replys. On the subject of relays, wouldnt this be all the time rather than just cold start? I seen euro car parts have denso and beru glow plugs are these both ok?

Hi, I was just wondering if changing glow plugs would be a d.i.y job or best done at a garage? Its struggling to start in the mornings in this cold weather and do not fancy my chances of finding a mechanic on xmas eve! I'm tempted to have a go myself but a bit worried in case i end up snapping one!

Hi, The time has come when i need to buy 2 new tyres for the front of my p38 dse. I have the 20" stormers from a sport with 295/40/20 tyres. However i have been told by some tyre dealers that some 4x4's like the bmw x5, and mitzubushi need all 4 tyres replaced at once as not to cause any damage...

Hi, yes every other gear is fine, no cruching or grinding. Just will not go into 5th & reverse

Hi, i have lost 5th gear and reverse! Anyone got any ideas why this is? I've been told possible linkage / selector problem? would this be an open up gearbox job to find out this? Pleae help!:eek:

ok just to update the problem its also 5th gear! I've been told it could be a selector / gearbox problem, is this a part inside the gearbox?

Hi, been recently having problems getting into reverse gear on my 1999 2.5 dse manual, but today i cannot get it into reverse at all? Any ideas?

So it would'nt run just to level out or anything?

Hi, just come home in the range and switched the engine off and the air suspension pump is making a constant noise (sounding a bit like a generator!) and this is even with the keys oput the ignition when its locked up. I have taken off the cover for it and unplugged it but as soon as you...
