    P38 no low ratio

    Should have looked more closely and not jumped straight to '... I know what that is ...' mode :D

    P38 no low ratio

    Had this issue on mine, clue was the N wasn't lighting up, fix was the xzy sector thingy on the side of the transmission.

    Bmw x5 transmission diesel

    X5's have ZF boxes in some models, not sure about the GM, in both 5hp24 and 6hp26 guises depending on year and model. The problem is that not all those bellhousings have the same bolt pattern as the Td6 which is early/narrow pattern. Later M57 engines have a slightly broader layout and the...

    Does air suspension need to work for the mot

    The motorway setting only works at speeds approaching 60mph (56??) so if you are sitting in the car n the drive or wherever it is going to jump over it.... its all in the handbook.

    Does air suspension need to work for the mot

    I went through 2 mots with the system disconnected completely and schrader valves on each corner. On the 3rd it had been full of tools which I took out first but neglected to let any air out meaning that the rear end was a tad high.... result was that the tester noticed and insisted the system...

    Discovery 2 heated screen, nanocom needed near hertford

    I tried that a few years back when the insurance were changing the screen, I asked the fitter to 'replace' a heated screen for a bit of added winter convenience. The loom was there, put in the relay and tried to switch it on with the diagnostics, we could see it and test switch it but it never...

    P38 EAS kicker tool on ebay??

    I just downloaded the Storey Wilson freeware and made a cable, .... I guess it would save you getting the laptop out but it isn't really gaining you anything as far as I can see.

    P38. EAS.

    On the bench test you really need to test the pressure, I am sure that with the good advice above you have discovered there is quite a bit to check on. Pumps hate running for long and it soon knackers the plastic piston if they do, even with a working thermal switch.

    P38A Ball joints

    Not sure which one we are talking about here but clamping (big G-clamp) or jacking (assuming you aren't on a lift) can work to reset the taper, also make sure the threads are totally brushed clean and WD40'd before you start, if the nut has undone a thread or two and then jammed do it back up...

    Oh goodness it's another wheel question

    That was quick!

    Oh goodness it's another wheel question

    The size on your wolf rims is a bit blurry but I suspect it says 6.5 x 16 x 20.6 so 6.5 is the rim width (and yes 235's will sit a bit better on them), 16 is the rim diametre, common to many ...and 20.6 is the offset, ie the wheel's inset from the face of the wheel hub. Apart from that they are...

    Oh goodness it's another wheel question

    I used to think there was a safety plus to having the tubes in, but I rarely air down these days and I have now run for years without. If the rims don't have the bead retention ridge then tubes do have to be fitted. It'll come down as much to which wheel style you prefer, genuine series look...
