Parvenu - someone from a low social position who has suddenly become rich or successful I think you will find you did.

Anyone who disagrees with you must be ignorant then. 22" wheels on a a P38 is hardly the same thing as a whale tale fitted to a 20 year old 1.4 Astra. A bit of a presumtious statement there claiming any one who has a car which is not modified to your taste, is obviously from a poor or...

Have you driven on on 22"? It is certainly not as nice as on 18" with a big profile tyre, but I would hardly say destroyed.

Im sure plenty on here will agree with you, but I think they look fantastic with 22's. Ready for the abuse about being a pimp, drug dealer and chav etc. Although I will point out now that I am none of these things. But yes mine does have 22's. To each his own Barry

Hi Are there any kind members out there who would be prepaired to lend/hire me their Diesel Syncmate. I am based in Livingston (Central Scotland) Obviously I would be happy to pay for postage (hire if required) Thanks in advance Barry

Ill try and bring this back on topic. I used K Seal about 8 months or so ago on a friends MG ZR (head gasket) and it is still holding today. I tried it last month on my P38 Diesel (cracked head) and it didnt work (reduced smoking slightly on tickover) My advice would be to give K Seal a go...

Hi. I am looking for some information, advice or help. I added this request to my other thread regarding inlet manifolds but to no avail. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/p38-inlet-manifolds-160912.html Are there any Scottish (central belt) members with a faultmate or syncmate tool, as the...

As mentioned, its much cheaper and easier to find an engine from a 325/525 TDS or 2.5 TDS Omega. Just make sure that it has an M51 engine code. I just paid £350 delivered for one from a 98 325 TDS with 98000 miles and a 90 day warranty. The cheapest I found one for the P38 was £850, which is...

To be honest with you gentlemen, I couldnt really care less about possible proposed changes to M.O.T's and the laws surrounding them at the moment. Can anyone actually answer the questions I have asked about using the plastic manifold with EGR blanking kit fitted. Will it work and is there...

Anyone got any more info for me. I cant bear to drive my good ladies meriva anymore. Although getting in and turning the key, knowing its going to start, is almost pleasant.

Have you tried your EKA code?

It came out a 97 325tds. I need to swap inlet manifold, exhaust manifold/turbo, sump, oil pump, pulleys and the infamous FIP top. Thats what I can remember off the top of my head. Barry

Well I hope it will be ok as I have just bought a plastic manifold and EGR blanking kit. I was hoping to get a concrete answer from a knowledgeable member, but I couldnt afford to wait any longer with ordering the parts, as they wouldnt have been dispatched until Monday if I did. With the way...

So im all good to go ahead and buy the inlet manifold and just block off the EGR using a 2pence piece. Anything else I will have to buy/use to make the plastic manifold/EGR work in my car? Thanks Barry

Hi all, looking for some advice. I have a 98 2.5 Diesel, which is currently having a replacement engine fitted. I bought it a month or so ago after previously owning a 4.6 a few years ago. I bought it in Derby and made my way happily back to sunny Scotland, until it started smoking heavily...

Thanks, any ideas about pulleys etc? I cant use my eyes at the moment as I havent bought the engine yet, I wanted to see how much work was involved before taking the plunge and buying it. On another note, I received my disc and cable from you last week. Thanks Thanks Barry

Hi all I have a 98 2.5dse which is about to have its engine replaced from a 98 BMW 525tds. Can anyone tell me exactly what I will need to swap over from my engine. Please dont tell me just to use the search function, as I have, and although I got some answers, I would like the answers to be...

It didnt overheat, but when I had it running today I noticed the temp gauge was getting high, so I shut it off. I assumed that because the oil breather is clogged oil temps would be getting hot, can you please explain why you think there are issues with the cooling system or even worse a cracked...

Im assuming it worked as its now running, but the flashers only worked on the locking part of the process. Can anyone tell me where the breather hoses are located (2.5 DSE), as im assuming thats whats causing the problem (oil coming up from the dipstick) and temp gauge rising. I drove the...
