Hi Wood. As mentioned, checked the usual suspects. In looking for a set including the thin, solid plastic pipes (incase you haven't seen a p38 petrol, one of these runs back to the header tank). You might not be aware, but Google has been around for a long time, and certainly falls into the...

Recently, whilst searching for a full set of water hoses for a p38 thor 4.6 2001... I came across a post from a guy who had sourced a set including the narrow hard plastic hoses with soft ends. Now I need a full set, I cant find the post. Could any of you fine guys point me in the right...

Thanks Rob. I couldn't get a response from the market place guy. Looks like I will be buying a recon unit.

Thanks datatek. Time to run up the rave vm and review.

Thanks Doriz, thanks Datatek. Perhaps one more flush then? Level is good, but dash lights do 'seem' to be more active on a strong slope (regardless of frequency of brake operation)

Thanks datatek- I will look for some numbers

Thanks, I will look

'Trust worthy' looking sites close to £200. Less known sites, £160 (inc). Searching by model and STC2784

This fine forum, the enormous communal knowledge and some dash lights 😉 At last years prices, I'd have bought one by now. If they really are £200 now, it could be good to try a refurbished unit - but does anyone have 'first hand' experience of reconditioned units?

Hi, The cost of p38 brake accumulators seems to have doubled this year. I've tried searching by car model and by webco part numbers. (New to me) is the reconditioning service. Does anyone have experience of this? Many thanks all

Do the 'top up shops' still add flourescent dye as standard, or does this have to be requested? Made identifying my (main?) leak fairly easy

Hi Caelis, welcome to a great forum. I don't have the answer, but can offer advice that will speed up responses from the real gurus here. I'm sure you will have replaced batteries in your remotes and tried the resyncing procedure before posting. If you add this info to your post - things will...

Many thanks bobsticle. This stuff felt more oily than water based stuff. But it wasn't completely smooth. Wiping my finger through the upper part of the header tank resulted in some liquid with a thicker consistency. I wondered if this might be a product (such as magic gasket fix) and not...

My reasoning for the hose set (& thermostat) was the condition of the current hoses, age of current thermostat and my intention to keep the vehicle What was causing my concern was the change of such parts shortly before selling the car. Perhaps I'm just a sceptical old farker, but if I saw one...

Hi Rat. I did wonder if its consistency changed with temperature. I really need to see some unadulterated waterless coolant to be certain. Hi Marjon. Yes, it did set off alarm bells. But my own p38 has never overheated (yet). However, the water pump started to leak. When I replaced it - I got...
