Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply - apologies to those who have posted answers before and feel they are being ignored, but there are so many posts to go through when you do a search it is inevitable that some very helpful hints get missed. Anyway - despite having little knowledge...

I left the doors open for twenty minutes then closed them to allow the pump to build up some pressure before it started to try to lift the car - something I read on here.

I've done a search on EAS and it brings up dozens and doazens of threads. I've read through them and seen suggestions that the pump is checked, the relay under the seat, the ecu, the sensors, the airlines and the bags! That there is software/lead compatabilty problems and more! I probably did...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Will do as you suggest and check for leaks when the pumps being done. As far as the valves go, I see your point. I think I'll get some new pipe put on - enough to be able to easily fit the valves in an emergency as the tubing hasn't any play in at all. I...

Can someone help me re: putting emergency valves on my P38 and advice if I'm taking the right steps to sort out problem. I'm having problems with EAS. Tried to read faults but for some reason it doesn't show any after resetting the first time. But there is certainly a problem as the car wont...

thanks for the help - will pass it on - I dont do anything as it has a tendancy to go wrong in ways that no-one has seen before!!

My P38 4.0 HSE is great - when its actually on the road!! In the last 2 years Ive had a hose blow in Manchester City centre - some people actually hit the deck as it sounded like a bomb going off!! I had a new radiator fitted, hoses, water pump and thermostat. Then the battery went a few...

2000 p38 4.0 with new engine 300 miles ago - and new rad, battery, water pump, thermostat, hoses, alternator, heater matrix, exhaust and respray in previous 12 months!! The brakes failed totally. Stopped car tried again and everything ok - then they went again 2 days later - diagnostics showed...

I buy all my stuff from island now - was let down by one of the others and spent 3 weeks waiting for spark plugs that were being sent almost every day for 2 of those 3 weeks!! I was worried that it might be more than just the accumulator - Ive seen the price of a new pump thats whats worrying...

The infamous heater matrix, radiator, alternator, water pump, various hoses and a new battery - all replaced at some point during the 12 months prior to my p38 being hit by white van man. Took cash in lieu of repair and had full respray excluding roof done and pocketed a grand - after all what...

I had exactly the same problem but I was completely locked out. AA had to prise door open and use wire to pop the lock. The problem was the linkage at the back of the drivers door handle had come loose - reconnected and everything was ok. David
