    P38 steering box overhaul kit.

    Oh I get it at £800 plus a throw why would they want to sell a £30 item instead. I just cannot find that £30 item at any of the motor factors. Other land rover ones yes but not the P38.

    Thanks guys, I'll email him first. I'm just surprised it's not a common item.

    So my P38 went clean through its MOT the other day, result! But the tester did say my steering box is at the very limit of what he can allow . Now, I have an unknown used steering box to hand but back when I was an apprentice we used to rebuild these with an overhaul kit. This is where my...

    Not something I'd wish on my worst enemy or my ex wife.

    Round here that's called blend polishing. ( say blend really really slowly)

    How so.? I delivered my lad to school this morning and it definitely feels a little more spritely.

    The M and the Golf get death but the rangie just doesn't have it there so there's absolutely no point, plus she who must be obeyed from the dept of war and annoyances has decreed a slower pace of life. The Golf and M will be for sold/traded for something more suited to our enforced slower pace.

    Waterless coolant would certainly help. It really does in my mk2 loads

    I have trouble driving manuals since having a stroke in October as I have little no feeling in my left foot. After ashcroft jumped up and down on my debit card when they rebuilt my drive train I'm a little loathed to change it all now. I'm no Lewis Hamilton and if I want fast we are fortunate...

    That's very good idea. It's not dear even. £60 ish for peace of mind. Ill dump the oil in the morning and look into it. It's only done 3k since august. Thank you .

    I've been building high power vws for years and the starting point is making sure everything is as it should be before starting to meddle as you'll be building on top of someone else's cock ups. I'm a great believer in bespoke remaps rather than whacking a chip in as you called it, even if it's...

    It was caked in ****e and I think the combination of the map sensor pipe and this have pepped it up. I wouldn't say it's race car quick as that'll never be but there's a definite extra punch but it's comparitively still a slug. The new turbo, larger fmic and remap at pendle performance...

    Found it ! This made it easy... it was yucky. Really yucky! But a nice little clean and application of brake cleaner and it's made a healthy difference,not amazing but the combination has definitely helped the pick up.

    Bizarre place to put it. So the only one I need to find now, which affects power apparently is the intake temp sender ((is that right ?)they gum up or block)

    When I get more than five mins I'll get the fuel and coolant temp senders changed out. I need to find the map sender too.

    I found its home, YAY! ?, there was a very small outlet stub under the inlet manifold nearest to the radiator. It was tricky to see as it was hiding and fairly small. I replaced the pipe with some new silicon hose I had kicking about. The test drive revealed a little of the missing power thats...
