I'm liking that! where can I get me some?

A classic line from the old carry on films, brilliant!

Thanks guys

I'm sure my p38 is possessed! and has taken a dislike to me. I've just finished doing loads of work on her and this is how she repays me. Got it through an mot by using a sympathetic tester(added by his guide dog!) and decided to sort out all the little niggles that had been bugging me. New...

Seems to have gone a bit better than my rebuild! lol i hope you've got your diaphragm up the right way!

Gentlemen (i use this term loosely!) thank you for all your advice and offers of help, i have found out the cause of the problem. It was as i thought, the " nut behind the wheel " was to blame all along. Suffice to say that some idiot having taken great care to keep everything clean and only do...

New bags have been on for a couple of months and have been working fine until i touched the valve block, i think Wammers has hit the nail on the head, i'm racking my brains about the diaphragm, no laughing at the back, but iv'e got a nagging doubt i may have put the diaphragm in upside down...

I think its got something to do with the nut behind the wheel(me) it was working fine, although it was a bit slow to rise and would gradually drop if left for a couple of days, before i attempted my rebuild, oh well tomorrows another day, so i'll have another play around with it if i can be arsed!

Iv'e checked the compressor as per Wammers how to and that appears to be fine, it has been rebuilt and was pumping up the suspension just fine, iv'e tried letting it run with the door open for twenty minutes and then closing it but i still can't get it up! the problem has started since i changed...

The compressor runs constantly, but the suspension wont rise, there are no warnings on the dash and the normal lights come up, its telling me that its trying to reach its normal height from the access height which it has always done, i don't have any diagnostics

I had a working p38, it needed a bit of tlc and then it went for an mot, it passed although my friendly mot man did let slip that he had an appointment at Specsavers in the afternoon! so i decided to sort it all out, i fitted new air bags, new shocks, new radius arm bushes, new anti roll bar...

I think i might go down the chamfer and washing up liquid route, polybush smolybush!! original bits for me

Has anybody got the tool to fit some new radius arm bushes that i could rent/borrow for beer tokens/biscuits/ sweets what ever your poison is, i don't fancy struggling with a vice or trying to make up a tool to do it, and i'm fed up with the job already, its fighting me all the way

Grrrrrr and brian38dse a big thanks for your advice, i checked it today and found that one of the turbo pipes had come off, i cleaned it and fitted two new clips and it seems all ok, thanks for your help

Thanks guys, i will try and have a look tomorrow, need to get the old girl back on her feet, iv'e got some long journeys coming up in the next couple of months

It was Tesco's, so they cost a bloody fortune! especially if it cost's me a gearbox or a turbo!

Bloomin p38 is punishing me big time, iv'e just changed out all the airbags, rebuilt the compressor, fitted a new exhaust and was even thinking of washing it! when i got given a mission to go to Tesco's and get some frozen parsnips, "make sure there frozen!" its a long story, anyway i digress...

Flat battery?

don't give me idea's! i think i'll drop that in a conversation with the other half and see how it go'es down, i've already told the kids not to expect anything when i pop my cloggs as i'm leaving it to the dogs home! i've also told all of them that i've got my send off planned already and it...

No complaints here, i fell in love with the thing the moment i drove it home from the seller, that was 29 miles before it blew up and i had to fit another engine!! but it was too late by then, i was hooked, i've spent far to much money/time on the old girl but she's part of the family now, i was...
