    L322 (2003) Air strut bolt - at wits' end

    I replaced mine a week or so ago and came up against the same problem. This worked for me but when it comes to rusted bolts there is no one right way. Soaked it in WD, put the nut on and turned a few threads, put the other bolt back in (copper slip first), gave the bolt head a few good thumps...

    Best supplier of P38 parts?

    Brilliant, thank you guys. Is it worth having (If there isn't one already) a subcategory where we can recommend a supplier who has gone above and beyond or maybe just gives a reliable service?

    Checking EAS compressor and diaphragm valve.

    Oh bless him, I'm newly involved with forum and didn't realise he was no longer with us. I've seen many of his posts and he was obviously a very well known and respected member of the community. Thanks you Wammers for taking the time to share your knowledge.

    Kicker or software?

    So looking at the Nanocom, am I right in thinking that you only get software for one vehicle or am I reading it wrong? I obviously need it for the 38's but I also have an L322.

    Kicker or software?

    I've just remembered, the chap I bought the car off of said that he tried to find the fault with the ABS system but there wasn't any power at the port, did all pre 2000 38's have a working obi plug?

    Kicker or software?

    Been reading on here about the software download for the P38 and wondered what it is like to use? I've had a quick look at BBS kicker and thinking this may be a better option. I'm not great with tech stuff, actually, I'm completely bloody useless truth be told! Does the kicker read all...
