Sounds like you've been MikeDrinkingWhiskey to me...

You're thinking of a Classic RR, those that had air suspension had a switch under the passenger seat that inhibited movements.

No, that would be asking for trouble.

When removing my fan the other day I got a 18" long flat bar, about 1" wide and 1/8" thick, it already had a hole in the end, and i managed to remove one of the bolts holding the water pump pulley onto the water pump shaft, then as I rotated the pulley the bar jammed against the crankshaft...

Mine was always at 12 o'c until last weekend when the top hose burst, then it took a trip into the red! After replacing the top hose it now sits below 12 o'c which i know isn't right, so I suspect the thermostat or water pump is playing up and will replace both this weekend.

Assuming your calculations are correct, then 22.5mpg is alright for the average P38 diesel auto, I'd be a bit disappointed that the trip computer was so far out though. My diesel has been idling a bit rough lately, and whilst I wasn't trying to solve that problem by putting some Redex in the...

Check out Special Offers on Rimmer Bros, I think they have one for £500.

Thats' not a bad price for not having to spend an afternoon soaked through under your car. Don't think you have anything to be worried about chipping your car, it'll take it if its maintained as normal.

I'd agree with Fett on it not being essential, in the situation where you have not problems with it. Disturbing it could be the start of problems... Having said that, you'll need about 7 litres to change, if you do have some left over you can dispose of it at you local recycling centre, or...

The diaphragm in the valve block takes care of inlet/exhausting shuttling, maybe that is shot? A new seal kit for the valve block is cheap to buy, as is the diaphragm, and whilst I don't hold out much hope, a rebuild may cure your problems.

F: 28psi, R: 36psi, I find those best to avoid tramlining/wandering.

Pre-99 had the option of traction control on the rear wheels, post-99 had the option (may have been standard) of all 4-wheels traction control. I believe you are thinking along the correct lines, and I reckon if you swapped the ABS ECU over to one that has the traction control then it might...

Your chances of getting an EAS fault and dropping to the bump stops are the same as everyone else with a P38: high! I don't mean to harangue you but if you crusing on the motorway and it drops you'd be ****ed, and the traffic police would have a field day with you! I suppose you could try...

Blown turbo, not serious? Blimey, I've seen a car with a blown turbo and it was pretty serious!

Are you talking about a 4.236 in a P38? Maybe in the Ukraine or Cuba...

Whoa there, plenty to look at before that! Have you checked the vacuum tube from the manifold to the MAP sensor (on the fuel filter) is attached/not split/not blocked? If that isn't working correctly the ECU limits fuel delivery which means no top end power which hurts towing.

I wonder that if you are over 70 years old you would get that free as part of the digital switchover?

What year is your DSE, any other problems with it apart from power, what have you checked so far? In my opinion problems on this engine are more solved by skinned knockles than tapping keys.

Blimey, whoever gave you that advice was not very helpful, nor very knowledgable either. Its the same process as going from analogue to digital on your home TV, you can't just chip an old TV to receive digital, you need all the processors to convert the digital signal that comes with a new TV...
