    P38A What a mission........

    Heater O rings replaced, I though that was a mission until I changed the heater syncron motors, blimey. 6 knuckles surviving. But I had got feed up with cold feet and a pink air duct. All working now.

    Auto gearbox slow to engage 3rd

    Hi. My DHSE has started to over rev when the box changes from 2 to 3, is there a clutch pack for each gear swap ? It's a 2001 model, just having passed 168000 k today. I've tried lucas and a fluid change with no difference. Cut my losses and get an Ashcroft box, hoses and cooler rad ? Dom

    Tyres

    Has any one tried Cooper Zeons yet, they look pretty good and although I'd like to think I need some super chunky tyres, most of the time I'm on road. These seem to come out well. Cooper Tires » Tyres: Zeon XST-A

    Exhaust heat shield on a DHSE ?

    Yesterday I found the debris and bolt of what looks like some sort of heat shield, could it be off the height sensor? The other odd thing is that the exhaust section under the drivers seat appears to have dropped, allowing it to vibrate on the circular cross member. All the mounting rubbers...

    Aftermarket oil cooler pipes

    I recently changed my oil cooler pipes and oil cooler rad. The pipes were s@#tpart. I couldn't understand why I had a small leak from the O ring area, I replaced the the O rings with decent ones, still leaked. After taking them off again I noticed that when I put the bracket on the oil filter...

    oil cooler pipes

    I have fitted a larger intercooler ( having obtained it at a very sensible price ) I also got 2 new oil cooler hoses and a new cooler matrix, which needs to be relocated above the intercooler. The oil cooler pipes are different part numbers, is the difference at the cooler end or the oil filter...

    Nanocom functionality

    I recently purchased a nano com evo on the group buy. One of the main reasons I got it was to be able to resync the alarm code if required. However this function is in the becm menu and locked, so how do I access it ? I am guessing more cash........

    Did a few errands yesterday, all working well. Then sensed that the truck wasn't pulling away quite right, but he-ho possible glitch. Stopped again, engaged reverse, nothing. Engine revved , I went no where. Managed to push it backwards while it was in reverse then into drive and home. I will...

Turned off, pushed the fan round which did not foul anything, what other bearings or couplings could be the cause ? Water pump ? Viscous unit ? Idler (if there is one)...

    North Devon P38 enclave.

    Just took my truck down to North Devon, Nr. Combe Martin, P38's everywhere ! I guess living in Oxfordshire i'm used to seeing more L322's. Great to see so many, and nearly all moving ! (except the one with 22 inch wheels - serves him right.)
