Have u checked diaphragm valve?

The forever black stuff is great, did the grill on mine before I sold it, I still see the car as a relative has it, it is still as good as when I did it 3 years ago

I think any body who can replace any of the electrical / computer bits on a P38 with a up to date alternative would do very well out of it!

It's rated to 380 NM or 280lb, so is rated higher than the auto box

Manuals had fogs, autos did not

I don't know how it's a typo because £800 for " the best example of this model " is too cheap, I say dreamer

My mistake , 8 grand! Item number 181348963046

Although not in the same league, there is a diesel p38 on eBay at the min and the man is asking for 7 grand!! That made me choke

Think that may of been the case, it wasn't the best example of a car

Presumably like other accumulators it has a charged bladder of gas inside it, once you screw it on, the pump pressurises fluid Which pushes against the bladder, this gives you a stored energy to assist with breaking

I test drove an auto and didn't like it, felt sluggish then just looked at manuals, but I think it may of just been that particular auto , when I get round to buying another I will go auto

I would have an auto next time

The clutch on the manuals is very heavy! I liked my manual one, but others don't seem to like them

Well sorted classics are very much sought after, look on eBay , some go for 7k, I read something somewhere that some of the oil rich Arabs that live in London snap them up, they see them as a more rarer range rover nowadays

How the hell does a pad fall out?
