I have always asked the local stealer if the parts they sell for the P38 are made of solid gold due to the prices they charge, I am not very popular in that house. So when it was time for a new brake disk shield and the local price was around £250 the fantasy had to be put into work. Where to...

Thanks Datatek for this figures. I have been driving around dead scared for the temperature after a couple of blow outs and overheating. Having changed all that is connected to the cooling, stat, rad, water pump (twice as the first with metal impeller did not transport the water to well in my...

They are plastic ones, but unable to remove the clip. I do not want to start the process of removing them completely now when the snow has arrived, that can wait until summer comes. Have found replacement rubber for RR classic, so one question is if the classic rubber can be used on a P38?

I am looking after the rubber bags only as the top of my springs are so corroded that I cant remove the clip to get the whole thing out. To change the rubber while the spring is still in the car is a piece of cake, soapy water and an air compressor connected to the air line. Just as making a...

Hi Some challenges to get hold of a complete set of air spring bags (rubber bag only) for my P38. Used to have Arnott replacement bags, but now they have started seeping some air, and Arnott does not sell the bags only anymore. Found air spring bags for RR Classic on the ebay, and a comment...

There are holes ready under the roof liner for the brackets. I mounted the brackets to the guard and levered it up to where I judged it should be. Then probing with a sturdy needle trough the roof liner until i found the holes. Then cut the liner enough to access the holes where you have to...

You have a multimeter? Measure the voltage between the battery minus pole (directly on the pole, not on the connector) and the metal ground on the starter when Mrs. turn the starting key, if you measure anything but 0.2 - 0.5 V you have a bad connection in a connector or cable on the negative...

Over the years my driver seat had become quite "soggy". But as this happens little by little you do not really take notice of it. Having the seat out for other repairs, I noticed that the wire mesh supporting the seat foam cushion, had dug itself into the foam. So I took 1.5 cm stripes of...

Getting closer to the next MOT. Last time the inspector told me that I should give the engine som high revs to get rid of the soot particles inside the exhaust. It was a bit Close to the Maximum partickle Count. Then I started to think, many years ago while a car was still a car and fuel was...

To find the exact tire pressure for your car and tires, this can be a way: On a dry day put a couple of chalk marks across the treads, drive some short distance straight ahead (on a empty parking lot) Take a look on the chalk marks, if the chalk mark wear away in the middle of the treads first...

A very cheap and wise thing to do is to check if you have any combustion gases in the cooling system. Had the same symptoms in my car. I went thru all the different changing of rad, stat, fan etc. and even went to the stealer to have a coolant check with negative result. (the stealer did not...

Some of the injector cleaner sold at high ££ was pure illuminating paraffin.

Had to drill out the sensor. First encountered a hardened steel part in the middle of the sensor. Then used a 2,5 mm drill bit to drill a series of holes around the center part to get rid of the plastic stuff that is filling the sensor. Then the hardened metal came out (was a magnet) together...

Thanks all. Will have to destroy the sensor to get it out. New sensors arriving in a week, so have to drive without ABS in the meantime. Wasn't it what we all did in the good old days before anybody new a thing about ABS? Since i got the P38 7 years ago I have never had the ABS kicking in in...

About to change the oil seal on the drive shaft port side front. According to RAVE, the ABS sensor must be removed, but of course the sensor is as welded to the hole. Question is: is it possible to pull the drive shaft without removing the ABS sensor or is this physical impossible? New sensors...
