With the heat of the day adding to the underbonnet temperatures. it's not difficult to understand why the EAS gives so much grief in Australia. Proof is how well the Classic systems have survived, as long as water is kept out.

Most dust is uncommon on the east coast where I live, most people tend to avoid travel during the hotter summer weather when dust tends to be stirred. I avoid travel at any time in the interior because I find outback travel too uncomfortable due to intense heat, flies and lack of interesting...

Supply is from the under bonnet switch panel via a very thin, sleeved wire so that the fan can operate independently of the EAS. This allows cooling after the car is switched off, really important here with so much heat soak under the bonnet. I don't go through deep water, the deepest flood...

No chance of water getting that far unless the vehicle is submerged to that depth. The plastic mudguard liner is intact, the hole for air is drilled only through the steel inner mudguard, to align with the eas enclosure hole which I drilled beneath the cylinder head. So air is drawn from between...

It doesn't matter what brand of car you have here, the sun damages inside and out unless it is parked in the shade or covered. I do both. Grey moulded dash mats are the go here, $50 au gets a really nice looking one and I have one in each car. Interior electronics, even beneath the seats...

You know that it must be part of life's rich tapestry of P38 ownership. There are certain connectors and connections which can cause your quirks but height sensors are the prime suspects. Heat is a real cause of degredation of electronics here, people who don't cover windscreens in our sun court...

Just a quick addendum before I retire for the night, once while travelling, the dreaded lean occurred and I pulled over, whipped out the eas ecu, replacing it with another which I knew had the same values entered after much previous fault finding and the lean disappeared. I was able to drive the...

I realise now why I never found any reference to my "find". Each of two new sets of sensors which I bought and tried gave me the same grief. The car would not lean for quite a while, perhaps a thousand kilometres, but then gradually begin to lean, while driving on a highway was the most easily...

Thanks, Pete, I did follow the link when you first provided it and just did again. I must be pretty dumb because I still can't find any reference to the dastardly tweaking of sensors. I'll look further soon but first I'll follow the guidance which Wammers provided. As we say over here, I'll...

Geeze, I never check here at this time of day and there is a reply. Wammers, is there any way of being guided to your "how to" information which has caused all this exchange? I cannot find it but as I said, it's probably down to my lack of competence with this forum. I really have searched ad...

Interesting to read the comments following my message of last night (local time). I am not in the slightest concerned that my "discovery" is said to date from 1995. I am still unable to find the reference to same, the reason for my post in the beginning, I suppose. My intention was only to help...

It's taken a lot to get me back here, after being told by a person identified only by a nickname (Tony, I think is his real name), that I would have already known what I discovered if I had "bothered to read" a "how to" which he had once contributed. I thought that I hadn't originally posted to...

I'm afraid that there is some misunderstanding of details in this matter. My experiences concerned two new sets of sensors and with height blocks in place, side to side readings were too far apart, not to calibrate but for the system to remain functional over extended time. I eliminated all...

Without being able to rotate a sensor to make the readings within 2 bits, there is no way I know of to stop the over inflation of one side springs and under inflation of the other side springs. Most P38s can operate with quite different side to side "bit counts", I've seen even 10 and the system...

Good answer, I can understand that point of view. Talking about hobbies, mine is collecting McCulloch chainsaws, genuine ones, that is, prior to the "takeover". I believe you live in an area where they used the 125cc saws, I own two of them as well as over 20 others. Could be worse, I could...
