    P38A Extended height mode

    Hi all Yes another EAS question! This time though, i have a working system but wondering if anyone knows how to fool the EAS into putting the vehicle into extended height mode for a short period. I off-road and sometimes you need it even when not grounded out. Also, I want to add a pressure...

    P38A On-board computer MPG

    Thanks (i think) guys. Whether or not it's accurate or not, i was simply wondering how it's calculated as clearly it's not from the amount of fuel used!

    P38A On-board computer MPG

    Hello you clever lot, Does anyone know how the MPG is calculated on the on-board computer display? I'm running LPG but it still seems to calculate MPG even though no petrol is being used. I know it's never accurate, particularly as my wheel size has changed but would be a useful guide. Cheers...

    P38A Jubilee clips or....

    Have to admit, I quite like the Ear Clamps as pictured a few times above. Sometimes a bit awkward to get to, where a screwdriver would prevail but give a good firm circular grip.

    Bearing Part 2 lol

    the hub is the part the wheel and brake disk bolt on to. (that's what i call it anyway!). Mine got shagged when i hit it too hard with a sledge hammer to free it from the disk. It had swolen in the heat generated from the collapsed bearing. Anyway, give M&M a call, they were definitely less...

    Bearing Part 2 lol

    that's about as shagged as mine was. had to grind the nuts, washer & runner off the stub. Had nothing left of rollers! I just fitted a new stub and hub yesterday, tried repairing what i had but it kept blowing oil seals and making noise. Lovely and smooth now - feels a different car to...

    another bearing question

    Since i'm going to have to do all 4 bearings again due to using the wrong grease, i wanted to make sure that I'm fitting the hub oil seal correctly. I tap it in so it's flush with the machined edge of the hub. This always leaves 1/2 inch gap before the bearing. Should i insert it further so it...

    Bearing grease

    i knew it, they've been ill-advising! Cant trust even the specialists all the time. Thanks for your advise all, I'll be purchasing LM High melting poing asap (and redoing recent bearings AGAIN!

    Bearing grease

    Everytime i buy new bearings, I get a tube of 1 shot swivel grease which is dead expensive black stuff. Vendor tells me thats what i should use... but is it???? Can I use other grease or should i stick to this stuff? I find the black stuff a bit runny. I'm about to purchase a tub and gun...

    Leak

    Looks like I damaged my hub when parting it from the brake disk :-( ho hum the stub axle took a beating when the bearing collapsed so will need to change that too. Any tips on getting the big bolts loose?

    Leak

    So, do we reckon it's the inner oil seal on the hub?

    Does anyone have a decent diagram of the rear hub assembly? Haynes sux and microcat won't work on 64-bit windows 7
