I bought a second hand wheel as I wanted an upgrade so all being done off the car. Already stripped the buttons down. Just waiting for a warm before before shooting 2k clear on it.

I'll be doing mine soon. One of the things he says in the video is to lacquer the plastic after putting the decals on. How you would deal with the overspray I have no idea if it's in the car. Without lacquer they will surely just peel off from use and friction. What I don't understand is how...

Last option is to just make one, but what I'll probably do is cut it off the old wheel. That way I can cut off a big chunk of the plastic surround to increase the contact area for gluing.

If anybody has a scrap steering wheel, I'd be grateful if you could try prying the plastic thing off, and tell me whether it popped off, or smashed broke apart.

That's what I assume they are for. Not finished restoring it yet so not pulled the old wheel to confirm.

I'm restoring a steering wheel to replace my old tired one. The one I have has a plastic lug missing as shown in the image. When I bought it, I was planning on just swapping the whole black back piece from my old wheel, but I can't for the life of me get it off. Do I need this plastic lug that...

Way too time consuming based on how many posts are wrong and would just generate loads of noise for the mods to deal with. If you've ever used stack exchange forums they are managed by site users and it works really well.

I spend a lot of my time in the Range Rover section and there's loads of posts where the title doesn't include the car type, e.g. L322, P38 etc. My mild OCD would love to occasionally fix them all so I don't keep entering a post I actually don't care about. Could long term users be given the...

I wonder if Audi ever wonder why they are selling so many heater cores? They may think it's a dodgy design they have.

Has it always had a lumpy idle in your ownership. Wondering if the previous owner fitted uprated high lift cams. My rover V8 is lumpy at idle die to the cam.

I did my passenger side the other week. Removed the airbag, drilled a hole to unscrew the duct, got angry with the air duct and finally got it out of the way. Cut the cable and re-solders the potentiometer. Reattached with a choc block and works fine now. Planning on doing the drivers side soon...

Really useful document.

As I understand, with the android units you can tell it what the steering wheel buttons are so they can work with any steering button on any car. Unless I'm missing somehting. As for line out, I've not figured this out yet, but sounds quality is quite low on my priorities. I think I'm unusual...

I was going to go with Joying as I like the ribbon screen connection as it has less constraints, but at the moment I'm leaning towards EKIY. They use the same hardware as Joying, and the reviews on EKIY put them on par with Joying byt they are a lot cheaper. Plenty of very good reviews for them...

I just want to be clear, you don't think I should fit one?

I do tend to agree. I guess what I'm trying to convince myself of is if the tech contrast will look minimal enough to justify the benefits. One benefit of the change is whilst I do like the look of the P38 dash, I think it's a little busy with so many buttons that the screen cleans it up a bit...

I really can't decide whether to put a modern Android touch screen radio in my 2000 P38 or not. On one hand, I would really like a reversing camera, DAB radio, decent modern built in sat-nav and a Bluetooth connection to my phone for calls and music. Anything else it would offer would just be a...

My 4.0 2000 is the only P38 I've ever driven so not sure if the gearbox feel is normal. It's a little slow to change gear. Let say I'm going down a hill, dropping it form D to 2nd It's a good couple of seconds between each gear change. Is this normal? Sometime it's also not as silky smooth as I...
