Increasing numbers of accidents being reported here in France due to the brakes being applied without driver intervention, sometime at high speed on the auto route leading to some bad accidents. I gues,s given the overall unreliability of...

Not sure about US suppliers, but I have used both X8R eBay & 4x4airseals. X8R also has their own website. Definitely check duty & shipping for each. Bottom line cheap compressor repair kits will mean you have to do it again soon !!

Jury is out... new compressor should arrive tomorrow if they are not lying to me. I have definitely experienced the word out compressor feeding leak issue on my other P38 in the past... but that had issues getting to ride height, would sag over...

The other possibility is dropping it to access height, if you do that all the time, the compressor will be working harder than it needs to to get you back to ride height.

It's likely that the compressor is shot from overwork because it's feeding a leak. The airbags have a design life of 8 years 80K miles, they develop splits that open and close where they fold under so it's possible they hold air at one height...

Got 2 of them anorl 🤣

Welcome back👌😎👍

Just took possetion of a P38 DHSE 2001, had a 4.0ltr petrol gas converyed around the yr 2000, a much newer machine but was still a handfull even then. Looking to buy a Nanocon , expecting a few more problems this time around. My Discovery TD5...

Yes almost instantly I get good idle, I am able to raise and lower the car.

But does EASunlock initialise now ?

There ya go :)

Nightmare, atleast I'm getting somewhere.

Got a new cable , didn't even need to install new drivers. Worked a charm

The Thor has zirconia sensors. MHK100940

Definitely won't be wideband on a p38

Depends on the year. Is it a GEMS or Thor ?

Ahhh thanks, I was not sure of the type. I need Wideband, so the spares I have are no good for the job. NVM. :)

It is a MY 2000 THOR engined car.

Rimmers has lots listed on this page. https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID009678 Look for your VIN range & note the part number. Then google for that part to find best price !! Most likely for VIN VA350483 onwards is AMR6244...

Actually looking at the picture I think there was slightly more room for adjustment. Think it was the high pressure lines stopping it's rotation any futher.

If that’s as far as the adjustment will go do you know the state of the chains?

New abs sensor to get rid of the 3 amigos.. Wonder how long they'll stay out for ;)

ATF DEX 3

Cheers! Took it out round the block and drives well. Although I've detected a new grating noise when turning the wheel. I'm I never done with this car?

It's within spec I think 750/850rpm? You can lower it with Nanocom. I run mine at 800rpm to avoid the low rev vibration. There is a string of parameters that show on Faultmate, I think the same on Nanocom, the first box is likely to be showing...

I broke one puller on mine and bent a second. The Discovery ones have been a piece of cake but my L322 was a stubborn mule on both sides! I was ready the second time around though.

You can do this with the Nanocom. You need to note down the current setting and like I did reduce the specified number until your happy with the tick over. Mine doesn't like the specified tick over recommended and vibrates like a goodun 🫣 I'm...

That's how is timed mine, one tap and err... OK that'll do pig👌😝

Ya dancer! Mind you this wasn't purely luck. I had to turn the pump as far as it would go!

^^^ he’s got it tricked out staged up though. Rads are swapped about (not OE position) to accommodate the bigger intercooler.
