I bought a P38 on coils mainly because the car is in such good condition, I intend to convert back to air at some point. I wrote to VOSA regarding whether it would pass an MOT on coils next year. I received a reply about three weeks later stating that they are aware of this type of conversion...

I bled the brakes recently after fitting new discs, pads and accumulator, I followed procedure in detail and it went ok, it does need two people and one of the master bleed screws is a pain to get at, I found that a short piece of neoprene tube at the end of the bleed hose made it easier to fit...

I did not have the lights but the pump would run after every press of the brake pedal, new accumaltor fixed it pump runs every 3 to 5 brake applications now.

yes thinking about it, compressor is there, relay removed, I'm going to have a look at the pipes etc.

I thought I would share this. I bought a 2000 P38 in March and have completed the following. Misfire under load. Diagnostics showed problem to be plug leads and coil pack Reluctant to rev, no MAF fault shown on diagnostics however a new MAF solved this. Discs pads and calipers shot so I...

Thanks for the replies, I have the caliper slider bolts, it's the 12 point bi hex bolts for the caliper mounting I'm after.

Any advice on where I can source front and rear caliper mounting bolts other than a LR dealer who are expensive

This happened to me - bought a 2000 P38 V8 which had a misfire under load, went to a local Indy ( Gigglepin) turned out it was leads and coil pack, this cured the misfire but it still would not rev freely, although there was no MAF fault shown and unplugging the MAF stopped the engine on...

If you still have the problem try Gigglepin, near Hildenborough (Tonbridge) they know their stuff.

I thought I would post an update as this problem is now solved: Diagnostics showed a misfire due to the HT leads shorting around the coil pack, also one coil pack was misbehaving, new leads and coil pack solved the misfire but the engine was still unwilling to rev as it should, disconnecting...

Thanks for the response, will check, I've seen posts re access via the front o/s fog light or inner wheel arch removal either will probably be a pain on a 13 year old vehicle I guess, will post the result.

Advice please- rear screen wash not working no noise from the pump, the other two pumps are working, are all the pumps the same

No I'm not sure but wondered how much more is involved if I get it apart and find it is the core. I would like to tackle it myself but a little wary of starting something I can't finish.

Looking for a mechanic/Indy who could replace a heater core, location Sussex UK

Changed the tail gate struts, got hit on the head the other day!

Thought I would let you all know- it's been on diagnostics problem is HT leads shorting and one duff coil pack

Thanks for replies, booking it in for diagnostics tomorrow,

Thanks for reply, point taken, however, for example, travelling at 50 uphill on dual carriageway and pulling out to overtake, car will kickdown initially but then lose power and slow down backing off the throttle stops the hesitation, I don't think I'm driving it too hard
