And actually that person will now attach some docs he has searched for to help some insight into these questions (yet again). In his next post :). J

Nah, I’ll just remain rent free in your head. Whilst you clearly survive on pay per word. 🙄 You have a good day now. 👍🏽

Last thing to do before stripping the dashboard: Cubby box. Need to buy a 10mm metal drill for that. But first, a beer!

Here is the funny thing, the biggest actual potential problem that I have so far been alerted to is the torque converter lockup. Here is what the ZF5HP guru RRPhil said on another forum: "Some aspects of the driveline control are vehicle speed...

In response to your request for answers, may I present you with exhibit A. 🤣

On the P38, torque convertor lock up is not wheel speed related as far as I can determine but engine revs related. Lock up in third happens at about the same revs as lock up in top but at lower road speed of course and depends on throttle...

And no bloody pictures 🙄😜

By 0800hrs I had washed, waxed, and put resin on her. Also sprayed tyres, wing mirror housings, little bit of black on bumper. Even took the cloth with some spray and went into grooves of rubber seals. She be pretty. 😁🚘💖

Poss the common leak at the back of the engine left hand side as you look at it there is a push fit connector. It leaks down the back of the engine and evaporates so hard to find its a cheap part I always carry 1 in the car.

When you have refilled it in the past what method have you used? Refill engine off? Refill, then top up with engine running🤔👍

I'm very sorry to say it, but if you have metal powder in the oil, it's time for a rebuild or a second hand replacement.

Hi, first of all I want to thank you everyone on this forum who always comments and gives advice, they have truly been a lifesaver in many instances, from when my engine was overheating or died altogether, air suspension failing to car getting...

Hot start fix should bring the glow plugs on every time.

Could be loss of sync from RF interference?

I have one like that, my fix will hopefully be fitting the one from my scrapper if it's any good.

Wonder if there is a fix for the drop down springy flap thing that doesn't springy down anymore? I have to manually lower it which isn't on really.

I think it needed 15mm strip. Wickes only had 20x2mm & complete faff in the hot weather narrowing them all down !!

PM me with an Email address.

Would you mind DMing me the process please?

With my steel rule method, it's almost as quick to do the timing as it is to fit the hot start box.

Realise this. I fitted it back when the car was daily driven, and needed a ‘quick fix’ - now it’s an occasional weekend car there’s a whole list of jobs to put it back to proper.

Got to do mine at some point.

The hot start fix is a bodge with the modulation correct, my car starts immediately hot or cold.

The glove box can be a right pain in the arris to get open and working properly :(

All done. Bought some M5 x 25mm bolts from Wickes this morning and it went in first time. Bracket lines up properly and all. Shame it was a 50 pack - anybody need 49 spare bolts? 😆 Pressure tested to 15 psi for about 10 mins, and no leaks...

I want a lady garage as well😝

When i did both rears a few years ago, there were surprisingly easy and no swear words required

I hope they know what they are doing or you could have a problem.

Cheers thanks mate 👍
