    pulling the intercooler / radiator out/off. How?

    Hmmmmmmm...... viscous fan = nightmare (don't have tools for it) Was just thinking about using gravity for removal of sludge/ming in the IC... *if* I don't have to remove it and can do it all in situ then i'd be much happier with that ;)) Thanks for the luck ;) I think i'll need it ;) Dad...

    pulling the intercooler / radiator out/off. How?

    Hi all, I had a quick look in the RAVE software when I was at home and remember reading viscous fan bits have to be removed (i.e. special tooling) to pull out the radiator and the intercooler. I've got a day off later in the week and would like to give the ic and rad a good clean out. Once...

    Jap. German. Yank???

    Range rover with a 'bodykit' on it = dealer Range rover with some abhorrent aftermarket tat stuck on = struggling dealer Standard Range rover, there's just something about 'em that I like - even though I am a bit of a die-hard german car fan, the dse p38 my folks own (which I drive waaaay more...

    oh BOLL##KS

    I did ;) If of course you wouldn't mind sharing, just like the idea of some shared knowledge and whether said jig could be built by yours truly (in a shed...) ;)

    SRS Light - under the seat?

    Hi there, i'm pretty sure it has side airbags (not my car and it's outside, and i'm in!) ... it does have a yellow cable under the seat, so i'll make sure the ignition is off and disconnect/reconnect it and make sure all is clean & use some contact cleaner I have. thanks chaps, Jonathan

    SRS Light - under the seat?

    Hi all, I lowered the drivers seat from "dining room chair" position to more "car" ... anyway, the SRS light was on when I went to start the car. A fiddle under the seat and randomly squeezing connectors cured the issue when I stopped/started the car again, but it's come back on. So, looking...

    P38 DSE Overheating (yet another)

    Is it actually overheating or is it just electrically overheating? (as in, could one of the temp sensors be duff causing it to overheat)

    Stuck Head Bolts

    If you can take the head off of the bolt so the head will lift off leaving the studs in, then use a : Clarke Pro 4pc Stud extractor set (Pro57) BUT! I don't know how the headbolts are on these 'ere rangey engines so this may be of no use to you ;) I keep a bottle of plusgas handy too, but...

    Is anyone breaking/got any spares for a DSE P38?

    p38on22s - could i 'bag' them please? I'll be putting a new 'stat on aswell! The car was plugged in sometime ago and flagged up two coolant sensors (so I was told (it's not my car)) ... I'll need to check the part number/code of the one that is on at the moment, and should they be compatible...

    ANyone Got Customer Service Contact at Bosch??

    I'm unsure of how applicable the sale of goods act, consumer law etc is to a car battery, but 2yrs for a £100+ battery = rubbish. Your contract is with the place you bought it from, if someone tried to fob me off with such an excuse, I would certainly confirm your warranty status with bosch and...

    Measuring boost on a P38 DSE - what pressure & what guage to get?

    Thanks chaps! Very much appreciated! I didn't realise the turbo should run at that high a pressure! I'm away from home and won't be back for a while, so if there are any photo's of location of pipe etc, unless it's on RAVE? I'll get some pipe, t piece and gauge sorted then! Any suggestions as...
