hi all, will an omega 2.5 td camshaft fit in my p38 dse ? i know there both m51 bmw lumps, but wondered if there were any differences ?, any info would be appreciated as my mates friend has a brand new one.

hi coop80, silly question, it is in park properly or neutral ?

hi jwb125, well if all the gubins in that box works thats a big saving cos they are quite dear, some of our senior members will tell you what else to look for if thats the route your going to go down, im bidding on one of those pumps at the moment just incase the other coil and shock set up dont...

hi data, yes ive seen his name before thanks for reminding me, i cant remember if i said to you im waiting for my friend to get better to do the air con fan conversion, as hes a retired auto electrician but as just had his cataracts done, a bit selfish i thought, he could of waited, but ill let...

I fitted terrafirma shocks to my p38, they rode ****, when we checked the compression and rebound on them they were all different they said send them back to check them and they found one was over gassed, one had a valve in upside down both rears were oddly under gassed,they sent four new shocks...

hi james, so, my injectors were a bitch to crack open, didnt seem like they were set to any torque value and, all parts went back in the same way and the same injector,i understand the crack open spray pressure, but thought that came from the spring pressurer thats why the original question was...

hi wammers, do you know any trusting reconditioners who actually change worn springs and bits and, dont just clean and change spray tips like the tosser in hackney does, or am i to untrusting, i think kent diesels sounds the most promising for me, ill call them tomorrow.

hi, mines was on coils when i bought it, it drove like a boat on a rough sea, bottomed out over every speed hump driving very steadily, on investigation they were britpart soft duty coils and, britpart something or other shocks, absolute crap, so invested in terrafirma medium duty coils & shocks...

hi jamesmartin, the p38 injectors are quite low tech but the spring is in the top bit, as i was wondering if the spray tip in the nozzle is worn ,would the spring also be worn? if so it might be just as wise to get the injectors, if they are the origenal injectors theyve done 147000 miles, now...

hi all, im looking to buy new injectors for my 97 dse, and an advert popped up for new nozzles, 6 nozzles for £64.99, against 5 injectors maybe £100, each, as any one used just nozzle replacement ?, as i recently took mine apart and cleaned them and noticed that 50% of the internals are in the...

are you using the lorry diesel pumps? if so (like i do sometimes) they fill a lot quicker than the tank fumes can escape, and will click the gun off, just a thought.

thanks for the info fellas, im going to service both axels as well, there very quiet, but do i need to flush the diffs, or do you flush the diffs?, maybe ill just change oils because they do run without fault, thanks.

hi data, coming from you or wammers i would say the service and the offer of free oil is a go for the weekend then, thanks.
