Got myself a fold flat Overfinch seat but the belt mounts for the C pillar are missing. Any suggestions folks?

Been hearing unusual noise from the general area of the clunge. Could this be a problem with flap thrust?

Does anyone know whether there is any useful purpose served by taking the oil cooler off a 4.6 and flushing it out? I'm showing my ignorance here, but I think its done on diesel intercoolers to improve performance, but will it make any difference to mine? It may sound odd, but I've noticed...

Thinking of doing the soapy water test and replacing O rings on the rear air springs. I can barely see the the spring air hose through the gap in the wheelarch. Has anyone done this fix? Is it better to take the wheelarch liner off to get access. Can't see how I can do it otherwise. :confused:

I have a sudden spurt of enthusiasm to sort some more niggles out on my P38 following the unexpected MOT pass this week. Dunno why I thought it wouldn't get through, but I've become more pessimistic since owning it :rolleyes: On the hottest bank holiday weekend I can remember in a long time...

Have done the soapy water test and find my front o/s spring is leaking from the brass union on top. I've watched the RSW video, but wonder whether anyone has actually done this repair? Can you really source the O rings? I think this explains the vague steering I've been experiencing.:confused:

Anyone changed a steering damper on a P38? How difficult is it? :confused:

At the risk of totally mugging myself off to the nation, but hopefully helping other village idiots in the future, I have continued the battle of sorting out niggles with my recently acquired 1996 P38 4.6 HSE Last night, I decided to put some CDs into the autochanger and my heart sank at the...

One by one, I'm sorting out the niggles on my recently bought 1996 4.6HSE. At slow speeds, the steering seems slightly vague and lots of very minor corrections are needed to keep it in a straight line. I'm thinking steering damper. Would the symptoms be similar?

Ever seen one of those wildlife safari programmes where a Bison is shot and goes down slowly on its front knees? Thats what my P38 does overnight. It had a 2nd hand EAS unit recently. Rear seems to stay up. When started up, everything works fine and it rises and falls as it should. Just...

Sunroof doesn't work and dash warning says 'sunroof open' when I turn off the ignition. Loving the new car:rolleyes:. It all reminds me of those old comedy routines where a dodgy plumbers work would result in the toilet flushing if you turn on the hot tap and the shower starting when you...

This is my 1996 P38 DSE moments after a low flying sports car came onto my side of the road and hit me at an angle with the rear o/s wheel taking the impact. Apart from the cosmetics, the suspension, axle and propshaft will need some attention. Pre-accident it was 77k miles with full LR...

4.6 HSE 1996. Intermittent warnings on the dash include sunroof open, traction failure, ABS fault, gearbox fault. The sunroof doesn't work, so I expect that to show, but the others are a mystery. Simply turning the ignition off and back on again clears the faults. I know P38's have a history...

Six days.. six whole days. Of all the woes I expected from owning a P.38, I couldn't have predicted this.. Clearly the former pride & joy of an old boy who has gone to a better place, I bought a pristine 1996 2.5 DSE off a funeral director with an entreprenurial streak who deals in cars of...

Does anyone know if such a thing exists? I used to have a classic and had a jump seat in the back of it which was ideal for the kids. I found that on eBay, but there's nothing doing on there at the moment. Also, I think the configuration for a P38 is different, so even if I found a classic jump...
