    Just a question

    Magnatec Oil? Worth it?

    I just look for the best deal I can find on 10-40 semi, last change was with auto care oil at £12.99 for 4.5 litres, change it every 6K-job done. Ok deisel now is low sulpher so in theory the oil changes could be longer but it's not exactly the hardest job in the world so will stick to my...

    P38 Coil Spring Conversion

    There should be a plug that goes into your Becm and the lower/hieghten switch just gets unplugged. Mine has been on coils for over a year and covered 15K with no trouble, handles fine, would I change back to something I could not trust (EAS) not a chance. But if you suspect its been bodged, get...

    p38 coil conversion

    Not just the P38 debate, know a guy who replaced his hydraulic set up on his landcruiser and gets all types of greif on the forum and his motor is exceptional as he has spend thousands on it, as he said the only thing that can go wrong with a coil spring is if it breaks, with other types of set...

    p38 coil conversion

    The only downside I can see is the car sits a bit higher, it is perfectly stable and predictable on the road and as for MOT's there is not a problem as long as it's done right, I "E" mailed VOSA about the new rules as speculation on here was rife and they said there was not a problem, same as...

    Best place for a coil conversion is on a P38, no compressor, air bags, pipes, sensors, electronics, valves= a lot less to worry about going wrong, fantastic. Davie :D:D:D

    Which Spares to buy?

    Would not get mintex pads as mine squeal although they brake good so will end up changing them but the Bearmach discs seam good and I have no complaints about them although they are not grooved, OE are not drilled and grooved and has been said if the manufacturer thought that they were needed or...

    DSE - Flat engine - No power

    Arron, did the MAF sensor not come in on the 97 model as I'm sure that is what was wrong with my Omega and it was a 97 although it was about 8-9 years ago so could be mistaken but it still rings a bell with me, i know on the Omega that the 96 model year did not have a MAF sensor so when did it...

    Looked at a P38 today - here's the problems, are they serious and whats the fix?

    Don't know without seeing it but it seems to have had all the major stuff covered like the crappy-sorry eas done, the fusebox and remote arial, as for the rest if it just needs a service and a set of discs/pads thats easy stuff, if it were me I would take it out for an hour and really drive it...

    DSE - Flat engine - No power

    Had a similar problem years ago on an omega (same engine) and if memory serves me I'm sure it was the mass airflow meter, cost a bloody fortune back then. Davie
