    P38A Front seat

    I only have the airbags up front, none in the seats, its a 97 HSE so a bit early for the seat bags

    P38A Front seat

    Just a quickie, I assume that I have to remove the whole seat to work on the seat base, I need to do some repairs to the leather. Can I just pull the plugs without disconnecting the battery? (Memory seats etc, etc.) Does anyone have the set element repair kits and the uprated thermostats, I need...

    P38A Fresh Air Flaps

    I guess the more accurate term for the flaps would be air recirculation servos, the 2 wire units

    P38A Fresh Air Flaps

    Thanks Pete, the ones I am looking for are under the pollen filters, the drivers side has jammed but I think it is the servo at fault. I have a couple of spare ones but I wanted to see what I will be getting myself into........... I have to take the dash out to do the orings and replace one of...

    P38A Fresh Air Flaps

    A long shot but I was wondering if anyone has a picture of the fresh air flaps in situ showing the servos. I am going to be taking the dash out and was going to attempt to get them working, the drivers side is seized. I have been told changing the servos is a right royal PIA and I was was trying...

    P38A Leaky airspring connection.

    I believe that is called tempting fate! I said the same thing about mine a couple of weeks back and a day later it blew the heater matrix leaving the required puddle of coolant in the footwell and on the carpark :(

    P38A Insurance prices getting silly

    Fortunately I have the 3 year price fix with Saga, £426, I have another year after this one so I have no idea what it will go up to in 2026! I did actually do a comparison to see and TBH the Saga price is the best for what I have got on the policy. I did try Hastings Churchill and Direct Line...

    P38A Simple EAS query

    Thanks for the offer Pete, I am away for a couple of days otherwise I would have taken you up on it. It is not really a major problem just one of those things for the old brain cells. Having said that I am going to be replacing both of the front sensors when it gets warmer so I think that is my...

    Like a proverbial bat out of hell :) I did try that to see if it blew anything out

    P38A Simple EAS query

    I did actually look for that a while back when I replaced the bags, it was doing it with the old bags too. I wonder if it is something in the pipe itself, I have checked for kinks but nowt, I guess one day I will replace the line and see if anything changes. It doesnt really affect the operation...

    P38A Simple EAS query

    Hi y'all, something has bugged me for ages so I thought I would throw it out there. Because I am an old fart and stiffer than woody in a porn film I always drop the car to access to climb in and out. One thing that bugs the life out of me is when I do it the car drops like a stone on the front...

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    +1 here too, its a waste of time trying to clean the connectors, usually the corrosion has gone back further into the wire
