I had the car on a ramp and the front propshaft u-joints are indeed slightly out of phase. Didn't take the shaft out to verify if it's 2 teeth. The rear shaft has them in phase. So the search for what's causing the vibration continues.. I did notice the lower and upper ball joint rubbers on...

Soo small update. I had the car on a ramp today and surprisingly all bushes were fine. Only the rear radius arm bushes have some hairline cracks so I will replace them with OEM rubber.

So I accidentally found the perfect aftermarket HU for the p38? That's nice to hear 😁 But yes it's ridiculously expensive. Not sure if I'm ready to spend that kind of money...

That's the exact reason I'm looking at that unit! You can choose from around 4000 colours for the backlighting, so not only can I have green backlighting I can have the correct shade of green 😁

I don't have the buttons anyways, there's blanking plates where they normally go. I guess that was part of the installation of my current head unit. The unit I'm looking at currently is this one: https://blaupunkt.com/product/frankfurt-rcm-82-dab/# I think this one will fit in the p38's...

Thank you for clearing that up! So there's advantages to having a low spec model 😅 So I understand correctly that the setup on de lowline and midline is just a basic setup like in most 90s cars: a head unit and some speakers. That means I can swap out speakers and head units as I please...

Sooo I want to change my head unit because: - it's an ugly modern aftermarket thing with incorrect backlighting - I want dab and bluetooth - the sound is dreadful, I need to amp up low gain in the HU equalizer settings to get it to sound ok but then I get buzzing from the front right door along...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Britpart poly bush kit for the p38 (DC7107)? I know many people say to never put poly bushes on a rangie as it will give a harsh ride and they don't allow enough roll. I disagree strongly with the poly bush hate. Harshness depends on...

Okay I was away for a bit but soon I'll have a go at figuring out the phasing of my propshaft. I have a feeling this may be my issue and am hoping on a near-free fix which would be nice for a change! I'll keep this topic up to date once I figure it out.

Thanks all! The pinion flange sealing face seemed okay to me when I did the seal. But installing the seal a bit deeper may be a good idea. Also worth mentioning the car has 275k kms on the clock. How can the u-joints be out of phase? I did take the drive shaft out but didn't touch the...

So I am a bit confused. I'll describe all the symptoms and what I think about it, but would like a bit of input and other opinions. So I had a leaking front diff. Leak came from the pinion seal. I replaced the seal. It nearly immediately leaked again. The leak is a very slow leak, but you can...

Thanks all for the input! My main concern with the cheaper ones is the flow. If I install new ones they should help my fuel consumption, otherwise it's not worth it atm. Any ideas about that? About dropping the crossmember, dropping is not the issue but getting it back in place was a major...

That seems interesting!! Having to drop the crossmember is one of the things holding me back from replacing the cats 😅 But how's the quality? Given they're half the price of a Britpart one..

Soo I finally got round to checking on this, spent the end of the year moving and didn't have time for car stuff. Right cat is the culprit, the innards have come lose. Als the heat shield on the downpipe on that side is loose but don't think that produces any rattle yet. Not sure if I'll...

I hope not because that would mean adding more things to my parts list, yet again 😂
