Not sure what the valve block seals will handle, but if it really if getting that high, check the pressure relief valve. It should blow off above 180psi.

Absolutely correct. There are loads of electrical noise sources in cars, hence why the HK Audio uses balanced audio connections & have each amplifier grounded. Most likely that car has corroded connectors in the footwells . . . where the...

I must apologize about the typing... This funking phone is smite 🤬

Economic fabrication I call it and in the aircraft zone and quoted by an engineer I spoke to in the aircraft or airliner game, they call it value fabrication. It's a question of money and budget as with everything. Although in comparison a...

Overhauled the EAS on mine a few times, spent a small fortune on it mechanically. Youngest P38 is 23yrs old you'd have to be a bit of a dreamer to expect it to be 100% reliable. EAS makes the P38 in my opinion, part of its character.. :p

I never had a problem they all helped me sort mine, and I had to learn from scratch.

+1 on that Keith. . . . it will be HEVAC motors, compressor clutch, condensor failure, SRS connector problems, heated seat failure, tired water pump, rusting steel brake lines, overheating fusebox, leaking rear-view mirror, etc, etc. ;)

I have had years of trouble free motoring in my P38 on Arnott Gen 2 airbags and wade height is dead handy when the valley floods. It's all about maintenance, even springs can break as happened on my X19. Don't worry, there are plenty of other...

Yes. BTW, as well as one of the connectors, it could also be a bulb failure in the cluster. There's two bulbs, & if one fails the other SRS light stays on.

Any Nanocom for P38 should read the SRS system. Only the engine ECU's require unlock codes. If you want to pop up to Langley I could take a quick look. No promises on fixes though. Most likely it's a bad connection on one of the seat...

Can't help with SDD or GAP, but I like this phrase. :)

Have got my ÉCU booked in with a company who disable the immobiliser for £50 . Hopefully that will be the end of the story :)

The tapping sound could be from many parts in the engine. A result of the original failure or another issue in the engine. Unfortunately I can't give you an exact diagnosis without seeing and hearing the engine myself. Is the noise at the top...

The 3.0tdv6 isn't a great engine unfortunately. It's not a question of "if" it fails but "when"!! 😢 Métal would be found in the fuel filter not the engine oil, if that's what you mean? Any tapping noises near the bottom of the engine block could...

Best of luck with MOT after all that.

I want to report that the Traction Control light is out. Thanks again guys All your help has been very much appreciated, The lights are all working as they should Fault was an ABS sensor wasn't fully seated. MOT booked for Tuesday!

Not sure if mechanic has flushed it .. he did say that there was no shavings found in the oil though .. so not sure .. Mechanic said he only changed 3 injectors and told me it’s now running on 6 cylinders After all that he’s now telling me...

:vb-blush::vb-love-blush: Thank you 😁

Thank you 😁 The bears are asleep. It's waaayyyyy past their bedtime.

She purrrdy❤️

Was starting to think ‘Shirley he’d have parole by now?’ He still active on RRnet?

Back out in the back of beyond, and as promised

Acetone is cheap over here, available in 1 litre bottles in supermarkets.

Ye he needs his toes done Roja red And his windscreen cleaned

When you've done your nails, pop round & help Roy !!

But dashboards aren't 😱

I bought a bottle of nail varnish remover from home bargains.. pure acetone and very cheap

There's a lot of loose chippings round here at the moment, usually from stones getting flung up from pot holes. The bus-grade cleaner has a mix of alcohol and other stuff, but I'll give white vinegar a try. I've got some acetone, used for making...

:cool: Done, not 100% happy considering how much effort I put in but looks lush ...if you don't stare at it too long..🤪:vb-lol:

My LHD project car passed the MOT today, no advisories as such, just a comment about the front left tyre which looks OK to me. :banana:
