Hi guys, I have a 98 P38 2.5 DSE and the lights behind the odometer on the centre binnacle have failed. Is there an easy way to exchange these without having to completely remove the binnacle i.e. can you remove the cover below the steering column and then reach up behind?? Just being lazy as...

Hi guys, I have a P38 2.5DSE and have something I can't find elsewhere in other threads. The issue is that when I sit at a junction with my foot on the brake the EAST pump kicks in. When I lift my foot it stops. Put my foot back and it kicks back in. I can understand this happening...

Hi all, I have filled the car up today with diesel and have found fuel leaking over the rear box of the exhaust. It is definately fuel and enough to cause concern. Is there any tips on removing the tank. I am fairly proficient in using spanners but not a mechanic, although have managed to...

Hi all, Just getting in touch and hope you can shed some light on a problem I have with my suspension. I have just changed my rear air springs because the rear offside bag was completely shot. Decided to do both because I felt it would be best. Got them changed with the help of some really...

Hi all, I have a 1998 P38 2.5 DSE auto and when I select Drive or Reverse it stalls. If I put my foot down hard it doesn't. Any idea why? Cheers Rob

Hi everyone, Finished the vcu exchange and everything seems fine. In fact she seems to be running much better, steering, acceleration, etc. I am guessing that some of the power output from the engine with a seized vcu goes in to pushing the whole vehicle along thus losing torque. Does that...

Hi all, I am trying to replace my VCU this weekend with not much more than two lollipop sticks and a roll of sellotape! Well, that's how it's feeling at the moment after a good workout trying to get the housing off. Any way, it's off but can anyone tell me how to extract the front output...
