    P38 4.6 oil rings - £££££ ?????

    Heads off, sump off, pistons out, new rings,new big end bearings,new valve stem oil seals, hone bores and reasemble. If you can DIY then only the parts to buy, probably less than £150 if you shop around. Not a 5 min job.

    Cat b back on the road

    You may not be able to register it even when its repaired, i would check with DVLA first, and to be honest a car thats been written off and repaired twice is gona be worth **** all when you want to sell it, and if you crash it is it going to stand up to it again?? I wouldnt trust it. Buy it and...

    Straight through exhaust???

    I run Cherry bombs on my Hot Rod and that sounds great, or you could try these Supertrapp Disc Only Clamp On Silencers - Demon Tweeks

    Vacuum Advance at idle or not?

    I find advancing them till they pink then retard till it stops pinking is about the best option!

    gota love kwik fit

    Just had my air con recharged at the local branch. "Didn't work mate, compressor not cutting in". Bugger! Ok no worries do I owe you? "No should do but don't worry". Got in car, pressed the a/c off button to on and drove home in a nice cold car! Cheers! Just hope it don't all leak out!

    Which engine for a V8 conversion?

    The 4.6 is more prone to hg problems because of the car they are fitted to. As the p38 has to run so hot for the emissions. If the engine was fitted to another vehicle and it had a decent cooling system it would be as good as any other Rover v8. The cooling system on my 4.2 is well sorted and...

    is it normal for a p38 to vibrate when you floor it!

    Which engine for a V8 conversion?

    I agree, 4.6 is same bore as 3.9 ,4.0 & 4.2. But does need some mods to run a dizzy etc. I used a 4.2 as it has a dizzy so no mods needed.

    6.75 litre Rolls engine in a P38?

    If you used an earlier one from a shadow they have points and twin su's, so it would be easier. I had a Bentley T1 for a few years, smooth and **** loads of torque! Do it!

    Normal transmission sounds....

    Give the diffs and transmission an oil change and grease the prop shafts. Makes a world of difference.
