"Further strangeness from the old girl, still scratching my head over the alarm arm/disarm indicators swapping to sidelights quirk.". I had this problem, changed battery and removed RF receiver blue wire, and no further problems, my lights also switched from side lights to indicators, this...

Hi Mark, how long did it take you in the end? What problems did you come across while doing this?

It turned out to be a blown head gasket between cylinder 3&5, also between 5&7 was gone..... I went the whole hog and purchased recon cylinder heads in advance, as I did not know at the time if it was the valves, guides, head gasket etc, and could not afford to have the car off the road for an...

Mine is now on 165k & LPG since 60k I believe, I have done 50k in the last 2 years and the only major issue that I have had (so far) is I replaced the cylinder head gasket on one of the banks......about 8k ago......

Had a weekend recently at the edge of the cotswolds (Wagtail farm) put my P38 off road(ish) only with Pirellie Scorpions, but had a good laugh.... I did bend my side steps up a few times........ and got grounded once..... Hey why have them if you don't use them.... Pics are in an album on...

mine did this for a while, I reset it a few times and all seems fine....just a weird one.....

You can only but try......good luck

Maybe a silly question, but are you sure it is not in the bottom of the door well somewhere.....Mine was doing the same rattling, so i took the door card off and had to cut open the lining, and my rubber runner was 'missing'', however after a bit of rooting around I found it wedged into the...

unfortunately yes.....mine did not have bolts on the bottom only on top, be careful, it is easy to lose them down the back of the engine ....

I was informed that Stretch bolts do not need re-torque'ing....if so it it a hell of a job to re-do it, I woulkd have to practically strip the engine again:eek:.....

Ok...Finally worked up the courage to do this, (picked the F**ing worst weekend in history to work on the car ( I have no garage). Very long story short, The cylinder head gasket was complety blown between the first and second cylinder, so the compression stroke on cylinder 1 was pushing the...

Thanks for the input all... There is a metal gasket between the upper and lower manifolds, I just re-used it with a little sealant either side. Anyway thanks for the heads up on the sealant on the valley gasket, luckily I had not gone too far , so I just took it all back off and applied a...

Yeah something like that........I was trying to be careful, however gentle leverage worked in the end..... Cheers

You do not need to remove the bonnet gas struts. However, I have just finished changing the cylinder head on my v8 last week end. I made the mistake of fitting the upper inlet manifold before the rocker cover, luckily I had not tightened it all up......I also have LPG, so unless you are...

It is not one touch for the tilt. I have had to reset mine this morning as I had the battery disconnected. to set it......Fully open (slide) and then close, then tilt it open and close, this message should then say 'Sunroof Set'.

It will be the ram pipe housing to plenum......I bought what I thought was a complete gasket, head bolt kit, this appears to be the only gasket not in there.... Thanks both.

I am in the process of replacing my cylinder head. I have noticed that the upper inlet manifold gaske tis made of metal and there is not a replacement in the gasket set supplied. there appears to be sealant on the old gasket, do I just need to apply some sealant or does the gasket go on dry...

Sorted now

In the middle of taking my cylinder heads of...but I cannot remove the alternator, I have removed the serpentine belt and two long bolts securing the alternator to the cradle, but it won't budge, are there other bolts or is it on lugs? 4.6 v8
