After looking at various threads and taking live data with a Hawkeye on a Thor engine I have discovered that the MAF is reading low, 14.75 at idle and 62.50 at 3000 rpm off load. My question is can I reset the adaptive setting with a Hawkeye and how is it done and do I really need to after...

Hi All For some reason my P38 fails to shift into 4th gear except at just over 50mph it selects 4th and then very quickly selects lockup. All other gear shifts appear normal although I have noticed at light throttle it changes into 2rd at about 2000rpm and then to 3rd in a normal time. I put the...

Hi to all. A quick question to the experts. I've done the search but not found my answer. Replaced my filter covers due to water leaking into the car, drivers side via the heater vent. Took the filter cover off and found water inside the aperture where the pollen filter goes. Removed the wet...

Hi All I want to replace the o/s/f window glass due to severe scratching from, I presume a diamond ring when someone cleaned the window. I will get one from a scapper and what I want to know, is the factory tint colour all the same, I don't mean the privacy glass. Thanks Roger

Hi to all Is their a simple check to see if the blend motors are operating ok. I have, to my knowledge no issue at present. If they do go faulty does it show as a defect on the screen. Thanks Roger

Hi. A question for our more experienced owners. I have no problems, to my knowledge, with either component on my P38. Is there any merit in being proactive and renewing seals and such like as a preventive measure or is it a case of letting sleeping dogs lye.

Another question for those that know. Is it possible to try the EKA code without there being a problem with the vehicle. Or is it a case of only finding out if it works when you need it. I've read several threads on here when that situation has happened and so I would like to try my code to see...

A quick question for the experts. My sunroof operates intermittantly when I operate the switch on the switch pack but then when it is open or raised at the back I can close it without any problem using the remote when locking the vehicle. I'm assuming the switch pack is the problem so before I...

Hi All. Attached are some pics of my P38 restoration so far. Still along way to go. But steady progress being made. Hopefully will be on the road in the spring and then I will continue the work whilst being able to us it.

Hi All Eventually got the blighters off. But I noticed that although the air pipe released ok there are some score marks on the end where it pushes into the coupling. I don't want to chance having an air leak. What I would like to know is it alright to put a new lenght of pipe in using a inline...

Hi All I've read a number of posts on here about the seized top plate of the rear air spring on the P38. I've got the same and what I would like to know is what gets seized, is it the raised part of the top plate which the air pipe goes into, is it a tight fit through the chassis, or is it the...

Hi All Why is the fuel filter quite warm after say about a eight mile journey. It's position is behind the o/s rear wheel and well clear of the exhaust. Is there a heater in the fuel pump unit? Thanks for any comment Roger 47

Hi All What do you look for when checking a DMF with the gearbox and clutch removed for serviceability. Thanks Roger

Hi All I've been looking at a '98 HSE 4.6. I haven't as yet taken it for a road test. But whilst I was looking the car over the engine was running on idle for some 20 to 30 mins without any problems and had obtained running temp as per the gauge. When I checked under the bonnet I squeezed the...

Hi All Just a quicky. Does the later 4.6 engine which I believe to be a Thor engine suffer from the same failures as the earlier ones. Thanks Roger 47

Hello All I have just joined and this my first thread. What is the problem with the V8's fitted to the P38s. In particuler the cooling system. I hear of liner displacement, porous blocks and head gasket leaks. What is the cause of these defects. Is it down to poor servicing, lack of coolant...
