Thanks all.....I changed the oil in the diffs a couple a month ago, ( first time since I had the car....) surprisingly there was no bits of metal on the plug. APart from the age & mileage of the car, It is probably wear and tear, but I probably did not help by not greasing the UJ's, serviced...

Oh of course.....supporting the body and not the axels like I did the first time :D (Schoolboy error)

Typical.....ok I have ordered new nuts & bolts to go with new prop, do I REALLY need to replace the rear bolts or just the nyloc nuts? or is it easy enough to remove the flange, bearing in mind I am working under the car on wading height on a main road....

I thought that was the WIFE:D...NOT THE MISTRESS;)

OK thanks, I was trying to turn the wheel with my hands to get the prop to turn so I could access all the bolts...... was getting slightly worried. Anyhow.....managed to get the prop off (and now ordered a new one) but could not remove the bolts from the rear of the prop shaft. I removed the...

It 's ok found a thread....will check tomorrow

How do i check if the VCU is OK? I managed to get the prop shaft off tonight, and the front joint is knackered to the point where i have now ordered a complete new prop.....Also when you say I can drive it, but not too much, how much is too much?

Many thanks...Parts now ordered..

I get around 200/220 miles out of a tank of LPG 72/73 ltrs, mines a 4.6 and I don't hang around....... I would get it serviced (cost about £125 but you will get that back in LPG costs soon enough...

Just checked out a strange rattling/knocking/vibration and discovered that the front prop Universal Joint is knackered still holding together though (just). Questions 1 - Can I remove the front prop shaft and still drive it (temporarily) until I replace? 2 - Do I just need to replace the...

Thanks Wammers, I just went back to my original post regarding changing the gearbox oil, and it was you who did state that it was the Torque converter, So i have obviously mis-read (or at the time probably mis-understood) the difference.... How often should the transfer box oil be replaced...

Would someone please Confirm/Clarify......I have now changed the Gearbox oil and filter several times on my P38, I was led to believe that you could not change ALL of the oil in the gerbox as several litres were left in the transfer box and the suggestion was to run the car for a couple of...

I have a 2001 4.6 that has been converted prior to me buying it 2 half years ago...it originally had a single point system that was changed over at about 76,000 miles to a mulitpoint Prinz system, I bought the car at 117,000 miles and it has just reached 176,000. I had a valve lube kit fitted...

Nice project. Keep us informed, any more pics?

Posted this a while ago see link. Step by step instructions and Pics on how to change oil & filter. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/p38-auto-gearbox-filter-change-136345.html Chris

When was the last time you checked/changed the gearbox oil and filter?

Where are you based?

Have you switched the sport mode off?

Seriously though, if it is not obvious and somewhere behind the steering pump, it will probably either be from the front of the rocker cover or the valley gasket, neither of which you can really do much about without a lot of hassle......

Thats not an oil leak, it the patented 'P38 ACS (Anti Corrosion System). It slowly drips oil down your engine and then the viscous fan blows it all along the underside of your car covering everything with oil, so that it does not rust.....clever eh ;-)
