    Never a dull moment with a P38!

    I have a feeling this thread could get interesting ! Anyway, on a serious note, i have had similiar problems, mine started locking and unlocking when driving along, when it was parked up, all different times, sometimes all the doors, sometimes just the drivers, sometimes front, sometimes rear...

    Brake calipers

    I was quoted 140 plus each, i need four, £672, hence i wondered if there was another solution. Where did you get £120inc from, it is more reasonable than i been quoted. still £480 though if there is a better solution. If no better suggestions then i will have to fork out for the new...

    Brake calipers

    Does anyone have a fix for the sliders on the front brake calipers ? I know you can get replacement sliders, but the actual brake caliper where the slider fits into has corroded, and new calipers are an arm and a leg, was hoping someone may have a solution. I did consider having them drilled...

    Would you buy one _ please advise !

    I got a 1998 2.5 dse, i have put just over 200k on it now, it is a TOW motor, it has a trailer on almost every day, anything upto a "heavy" 3.5 ton when needed :doh:, it has been to spain pulling 3 ton, has been up and down england, wales and scotland more times than the flu, to date it has had...

    Off roaders

    Thats what i am running at the minute, always fancied a v8 diesel though. So it sounds like they eat gearboxes due to the huge torque going through them, i could be persuaded to put an auto box in if needed, sounds like they will be the best bet. Mr Noisy, i would be interested in having...

    HELP! Scary Engine Failure

    First thing i would do is change the filter, eliminate the easy cheap options first ! (dont throw the old one away just yet in case it is ok) look for fuel seepage around the injectors, they are a common fault, (but doubt that is your problem) and the return pipes. Also check the pump in the...

    diesel v8

    Thanks, its the chevvy lump i was thinking about, i was expecting a lot of torque and possibly the need to upgrade the drive train, so apart from them eating g/boxes, are the actual engines any good

    diesel v8

    Has anyone had any experience of them, i was thinking i may drop one into my landy (its just a toy). I only know one person who tried it and had a bad time with it and took it back out again, is this a one off or are they a poor choice. Rob.

    Off roaders

    Pit bull tires

    No, i agree, when i put them on, it had a 3 inch lift and i thought they would fit,(pic in the workshop) i was wrong, with the extra lift they work well though, occasionally they rubbed the spats but the clearance is good, (shot on the trailer)

    Anyone for 6 wheel drive?

    I reckon they look the business personally, the 110's look better balanced that way.

    Anyone for 6 wheel drive?

    Thats a dogs loyalty for you, they will go through anything, but a decent owner would have some thoughts about it getting bounced off the sides and tailgate, my dog loves going with me but i wont have her in the rough stuff, just aint fair for them. Not a rant, just my opinion, each to there...

    Pit bull tires

    I feel like i should give them a go, i bought them with the intention of pay and play days, put them on, had a drive round the fields, then i went to a pay day where i knew was a lot of slate so i put my old ones back on and thats how it has stayed. Partly due to lack of enthusiasm, and partly...

    Pit bull tires

    Lol, so **** you want to buy them eh ! I had not even considered selling them, but if someone made me the right offer.............. I asked the question as i was wondering if they were worth digging out and putting on my hybrid for a pay and play day Rob.
