Hi all, Done a search but cannot determine what size the UJ grease nipples are - I will be replacing the UJ's and want to fit slightly longer nipples. Thanks

Hi gtland/wammers etc - With ignition on , door closed, engine not running there is no sound of air escaping. The suspension does not always drop overnight - two or three seconds after starting and it is back up to last nights level. When it is hissing out air - engine running , car...

The manual mentions Dexron 11 D - how does that differ from Dexron 11 ?

EP 90 for the final drive units in P38 I have read that one can go "higher" with the numbers but not lower. Dexron 111 instead of Dexron 11 but not the other way round. Am interested to know if anyone has "changed up " and any issues that resulted

Hi all, I want to drain/refill the transfer box- ( 1998 P38 4.6 Auto ) Local supplier only has ATF Dexron 11 not ATF Dexron 11D as recommended in my manual. Any one know the difference ? A search mentions Dexron 11 being replaced by Dexron 111 about 1995 - I have plenty of ATF Dexron 111...

Hi again, I can hear the compressor (sometimes) running at the same time as the air hissing. Occassionally the hissing is not there ( with doors closed ) Thanks so far

Hi folks, Still getting the sound of an air leak from the front near side but have not been able to trace it . Tried a leak spray near the bag/airline/dryer - no bubbles. With the sound of the engine a bit difficult to pinpoint. I opened the front passenger door for something then the...

rob, re your item 7 - I got a bottle of ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL ( IPA ) - £5 for 500ml from Boots - order it then they get it in for you. All the post trims were easy to get off - prise back the rubber from the top - get a couple of fingers in and it pops off working from the top downwards. There...

datatek, If the airbag was not seated right on the bottom piston or had a "pinhole" leak surely it would still hiss out air even when engine is off seeing as how there is still plenty of pressure in the bag ? It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it takes a few minutes for height...

Hi datatek the aircon is off - red indicator on and when the bag is "prodded" the hissing noise gets a bit quieter

Thanks so far - with a worn diff nose bearing and front prop taken off will the car still be driveable for a few miles a day ? I bought litre of diff fluid thinking diff must have lost a fair bit - only took 300 ml - out of diff capacity of 1700 ml . That nose bearing must be really sensitive...

Hi all, Following on from my "transmission noise " thread - thanks for input - wammers diagnosis re nose bearing - for the short term ( until repair sorted ) I have read here that removing the front prop shaft does not do any harm. With a lot less stress on nose bearing will I be able to...

Hi jellyspanner, pins , planet gears ? I have no idea about the innards of a diff !! Mine is a 1998 4.6 HSE When I lifted one front wheel at a time I could just about rotate the wheel but there were a few degrees "loose "rotational movement back and forth on each wheel before exerting...

Thanks wammers What gaskets/seals would I be looking for to fix the leak from the front diff - I mean the "technical descriptions " ? How many differential "nose " bearings are there and is that their description as well ? They might need changing. My local independent should be able to...

Looks like a leak from front diff is the culprit - will have to sort out asap. When one front wheel is lifted clear of the ground how easily should it turn by hand ( assuming autobox in " N " and handbrake on ) ? Thanks

Thanks for the interest so far rewmer - tyres are pumped up ok and no signs of bulging - I had an estate car once that had a weak spot on a section of tread on front tyre - though that manifested itself with steering wheel wobble - no wobble in this case. What should I be looking for...

Hi folks, First heard yesterday . A noise that increases in frequency depending on speed of the car. Starts at about 15 mph - whether in D, 3,2, or 1 - also happens when I coast along in N Does not happen as car is accelerating or driving up a slope - nor does it happen in reverse...

Hi folks, The drivers head restraint in my car is at the lowest position - pressing the "up" control has no effect - neither does cycling through up and down. I can hear a whirring sound though - so electric motor must be OK. What could have happened and can anyone advise how to restore...

Hi again datatek - the car is a petrol ( 4.6 V8 ) Aircon on ( light off ) - got that kds - does the little fan / sensor only run with aircon on ? magictiny - I have tried all permutations of vents and hot/ambient - they all work - is there a seperate blend motor specifically for the aircon ...

datatek- I gently cleaned out the sensor area above the radio - took off the cover plate - the impleller does move when flicked with an ear bud !! - however no movement when a/c is switched on - no movement from the two condensor fans either - something affecting both units ? regards
