Also remember people post on here when they have a problem, not many post to say "my car runs fine no problems at all" There are thousands of P38s that run around daily for years with no problems.

Trickle charger? Suspension will be down by the time you get back anyway

OH bugger thought they looked a bit awkward. im hoping as i only want to change the rocker gaskets that i can manage to just loosen the inlet manifold enough to get to the rocker cover screws, what do you think?

Thanks Hoarec, is it neccasary to remove the top coil pack bolts and loosen the lower ones??

Abs light is likely to be a problem with one of the abs sensors on the hubs, do a search on here its been covered a few times. height lights will flash as car levels itself at startup. SRS .... dunno sounds like a bad/loose connection.

Gonna try to fix the oil leak coming from both rocker covers this weekend, weather permitting. Have read through rave and it seems a lot of faffing about just to change a couple of rocker gaskets. Is all of it neccasary?? IE removing gas struts for the bonnet, removing /loosening coil pack...

Change the belt, check the tensioner

After trying various pressures i settled on 32 on the front and 34 on rear. suits me but i think its personal preference as long as you dont go stupid.

As Irish says the values in the SW will differ it reads the angle of the ride height sensor. you need to measure wheel centre to wheel arch distances and adjust accordingly. They have been posted on here numerous times, do a search.

The gas tank and the pipework can be used in an upgrade, i was quoted £800 just over a year ago to get mine changed to sequential multipoint. Decided not to bother as all is running ok as it is. Sounds to me as if you have pretty much made your mind up already, go and have a close look. Do a...

i would have a quick look on line at the mot history..and give it a good test drive THis is a recent thing that i found useful. Can remember what it takes to get into it but its on the DVLA site. I saw that mine had done nearly all its milage (100k)in the first 3 years which i would take to...

At the end of the day its up to you. As for selling on later if the dealer thought he could get a better deal why is he offering you the swap. Answer is not many people are looking to buy big v8s and the P38 has a poor reputation on reliability. You could find that the single point runs fine and...

Gas injectors different to Petrol injectors Head shouldnt need to come off. gas injectors are cheaper than the petrol ones. Go see an LPG specialist.

Bought mine on fleabay on a whim. Knew nothng about rangies P38 or others. It had no service history tax and a months MOT. I just saw it and thought "thats cheap for a rangie" and bought it. Took about 6 moths to learn my way around it, sorted most of the problems out it had and have done most...

Having said mine is running fine, unless there is some other major plus for the single point 4.0 i would take the sequential 4.6 every time. And its well known Irish dislkes almost any mods done to rangies and loathes LPG

General opinion is that multipoint is better its a more modern setup. It will have an injector tapped into each branch of the intake manifold. Single point as the name inplys has a single jet between the MAF and plenum. Most installers will do multipoint type on a new install. Expect to pay...

P38s hate anything less than a fully charged battery. If your unsure of the age of yours change it. Then get a solar charger from maplins and sit it on the dash and wire it to the battery to keep it topped up. And then buy a synchmate you will need it sooner or later.

You are going to have to do a lot of miles to make it pay. Proper install for a multipoint sequential system is likely to cost up to 2K. A lot to spend on a 10 year old car unless you plan to keep it for a good long while.

Looking for a leak in the fuel system would seem a good place to start.

I had very good results with this as well but it took a good few coats to get an even finsh. Nice results on the faded door handles.
