Hey guys, It's time to go now as we're doing so much mileage and we have been offered a much more fuel efficient car by a family member. It's a no brainer. I'm going to miss this truck, especially after I've put so much into it, but if I don't sell it my wife will end my life using nothing...

Hey guys, Didn't really think I'd be selling her quite so quickly but had the offer of a lifetime from my wife's dad regarding his one owner TDi Passat estate, so it makes it a no brainer decision. Jonesey has to go! • MOT April 4th 2014 • Folder full of receipts • Few...

I'm sure this has been asked before but I pulled a swift twin axle yesterday with my '95 4.6 and it was fine until I got to a hill. Then the temp gauge got to the last white speck on the gauge and had to put the heaters on full to cool it down again as I didn't want to risk reaching the red...

Hey guys, Nice to be on again this morning! Just a quick question but it's one that has me confuzzled! Everytime I jack up Jonesey (our RR) the rear airbags pop off??? Surely this is not normal. I can't use a 4 post ramp unless I go through depressurisation first and I can't jack it up on the...

Hey guys, a the title suggests, I'm wondering what type of oil to use in the front and rear diffs? Also is there any particular type of auto transmission fluid to use with the 4.6 motor? It's a 1995 GEMS by the way. Is the front diff lubricated separately from the auto transmission? Cheers CK

Morning guys. Just come out to the car and it's dead again. This is after a brand new battery and alternator repair. So where is this RF unit and what identifying marks, numbering am I looking for to distinguish which unit it is? Cheers.

Hey guys, Next problem! My battery has been discharging irregularly for a while and I've simply dealt with it. However yesterday it was dead in the morning. Jumped it, got to work ok. Tried to start it late that day. Dead. Jumped it and went to a friends house 15 mins away. Immediately...

Hey guys, As the title suggests I am wondering if there is any PC based software which can communicate with the BECM as the faultmates do? CHeers

Hey guys, as title suggest my front windows are really rattling when in any other position than closed. What is it and how can I fix it? Something to do with the guides? :mad:

Ive decided to start a new thread about this issue as it now become a slightly different problem to the original post. A bit of history. Bought the OBD lead, USB adaptor and EAS Unlock software from eBay (although the software was freeware). plugged it into my windows 7 machine and no comms...

Morning campers! Most of you know that I'm knee deep in a cracked block sealer running session but I have another problem which was present before I did the heads or the block. What controls the idle speed? My idle can be at 900 one minute 200 the next, almost stalling, and then up to 1100...

I've done quite a bit of reading and have taken the plunge on a set of 22's for the summer and will keep my hurricanes for winter and off road. What size tyres are you guys running on your 22's? Thanks in advance :)

Hey guys, Anyone know the colour code or name for the side vents & front grille on an L322? Got a chap with stone chip paradise who wants them repainting and can't find the info. Thanks in advance. :confused:

Hey guys, As many of you know I'm repainting the old truck and I've pretty much decided on black. However, could you guys pleeeeeeeeeeeease post some pics of java black and beluga black for comparison purposes? I already know beluga is solid and java is mica, i'm after which one looks...

As I'm waiting for space in my workshop to be able to do the work on the other head gasket, I thought I might as well have a bash at a front end facelift and try out my new paint colour for the old bus. Let me know what you think. Before and after pictures are below. :D

Hello again everyone, Well a few weeks ago I completed the left bank head replacement after a failure between 1 and 3. All good so I thought. 300 miles later and what happens? Right bank gone but done something really weird and wanted to run it past you guys. Cylinder 4 was full of water...

Hey guys and gals, Has anyone ever removed manual shrader valves from a P38? I want to attempt to get my EAS working again. I have the free software and associated cable and have had the laptop talking to the eas ecu today. However I think it has every fault going and without being able to...

Hey guys, Anyone know which blue this is? If so could I have a name or a code please? https://www.dropbox.com/s/eaadr2rws0gpz4n/Photo%2022-03-2013%2016%2049%2024.jpg Thanks in advance :D

Hello there, Thought I'd pop in and say 'Hi' as I've just taken the plunge to buy a P38 HSE. Head gasket has gone of course but I'm fairly alright with V8 engines and a good friend of mine is a bit of an expert in the field so I'm confident we'll be on to a winner. Anyway I'll keep people...
