Hi Guys Does anyone know if you can reuse the cylinder head bolts when doing a head gasket on a 1998 P38 2.5 DSE ????????????? Thanks in advance for any help

I have noticed that when my 1998 2.5 DSE is cold the cooling system is still pressurised, is this correct, I thought it would only have pressure when hot?

Just finished it, total cost £45, no taking the tank out. Looks very smart, and in theory this pump should last a very very long time, compared to the OEM unit:D

My Money Pit better known as a 96 DSE, has decided it needs more cash spent on it. This time while in the outside lane of the motorway the engine died, got on to the hard shoulder then recovery transported home. After a few checks ie power going to intank pump, but no flow, and that it was now...

Thanks for the info Irishrover, is there any way to re grease it, ie leaver it, pull it, inject it, or generaly try to get it into the rubber boot. Or will it damadge the boot to much, to try and get grease in there ???

Hi, on my 1998 R/R P38, I cant see how the L/H front axle CV joint is supposed to be lubricated, mine is getting a little noisy on full L/H lock.

Finally sorted it out, it was a problem with my laptop, tried another one still using the usb adapter and worked first time........Thanks for all the advice guys:)

I did get the software from RSW, and the convertor lead is the same as RPI sell on ebay, I am trying to find someone withan old laptop with a serial connection, but no one seems to have one ....:-(

Hi gav Thanks for the info, i have tried ports 1 to 5, as you suggested, but still no luck...............:-(

It looks like thats my only option, any idea on the ride heights?

I am using the latest software you showed the link too. The weird thing is that if you link the relivant pins in the OBD plug, the data that goes out, comes back perfectly. Also does anyone know the OEM st0ck reading range for each height?

Sorry not sure purchased from ebay, it came with Prolific software.

It is cold here for me only 18 degs of a night, has anyone got the software they used with there usb to serial cable and I could give that a try, otherwise it means dragging the PC outside to use a serial port.

Long way to come The Algarve Portugal....................

Hi tried that but XP update does not show any updates available........getting desperate now
