I know they do fit, but is a spacer needed? Is the offset different than on the standard D1 steel rims? Many thanks, Matei

Thank you all for the replies, but what I am trying to fix is the trap door thing at the sunroof. The liner there came off and the material seems to be some sort of plywood. The question was if I have take off the whole ceiling to work on it.

For the first time since we bought this p38 it rained, and the headlining got damp on the sliding cover for the sunroof. Now the headlining came off the plywood sort of material and I cant glue it properly back on. This is a problem because now it wont open without using a screwdriver to push...

Hello, I will take a look at the return pipe. I didn't change the pump myself but I can ask the workshop next week. Where are those copper washers placed exactly? Cheers

Recently had injection pump changed at a workshop if it's worth mentioning, although I had this problem before. When I turn the engine off, after a few seconds I can hear some gulp gulps which I believe could be an air leak somewhere letting diesel flow back down the lines. When I start the...

I was very upset to find out there was no access to the fuel pump from inside the car, like on a D2 for example, as I don't have a lift and did not want to cut a hole in the floor. What I ended up doing was lifting the car on wading height, removing the battery after which I supported the...

Yes please

Adjusted valve clearance on the 300TDi today... valves 7 and 8 were a few millimeters off! It sounds much better now but I still have to change the vacuum pump and go through the valves again at some point since they were so far off.

Very nice addition, congratulations! Always such a nice feeling getting one with a good chassis. It's nice to be able to just maintain and take care of it, instead of patching up or spending loads after someone else's neglect.

D1 Fixed the glow plugs not working by disconnecting and reconnecting the relay. I had it in at the workshop for an injection pump change as it was leaking and it would start very difficult. It doesn't leak anymore and starts better but still not quite there. They blamed it in the glow plugs...

Attempted to edit previous message but I am too illiterate to do it properly. Disregard this message.

Finally registered mine in Estonia, as an import from UK, after buying it from a field in Finland where it sat written off for 8 years. Registration process took 10 months and two failed inspections. I almost can't believe it's over. ... I will still have to drive without an MOT for the...

I'm more interested in how you fitted that stereo unit in place of the tape deck?

Anyone knows what type the bulbs in the rear plate lamp are and what they are rated? I dont have access to my disco to check and I will need to change it at once when I get to it... ugh Thank you

Thank you for the clarification. Why would someone deliberately mess with it?

I don't know how to answer to this due to my lack of understanding the terminology. We know that this car doesn't have swivel balls like the D1, Defender or RRC, but a boot over the CV joint. If you mean what I earlier called "swivel hub", - please correct me if it's named differently (steering...

I saw them by chance in the store today, they are 30 euros here... But I got one of those tapes Grrr mentioned

I don't think anybody touched it. I'm wondering if they can misalign themselves? And I'm almost sure nobody ever took the wheel hub off on this one.

Cheers Flossie, I'll do that, and congrats on 10k posts! Just wanted some opinions on it, if that could indeed be the cause in my case too.

P38A 2.5DSE '99 Bought it with a leaking front axle seal, I didn't think much of it as I knew they are easy and cheap to replace. I did replace it, it did stop leaking, my guess is for around 70 miles or so, and now it leaks again. Plenty. First I thought I'll just re-do my work, maybe polish...
