well i got it fixed! hoping to go for a test drive today! https://photos.app.goo.gl/sLrzfdp8U9kDZeCJ6 only one oil leak at the moment from the vacuum pump return

not too bad, nearly ready to put the head back on but weekends have been busy! got a few nice bits an bobs to reassemble with so i'll put some pics up soon.

yeah so far the pistons and head look okay. only real damage is the cam followers but i'm going to replace the valves as well while i'm doing it. if i was paying someone to do it i'm sure it would cost more than i paid for the car but just parts aint too bad. plan is to keep this car for ever...

P38 For sale

downloaded it yesterday, the crack that's included in that one is a bit crap - you have to reset your date every time you use it. anyone know of a better one?

new pipe???which pipe? what did the engineer do?

oh sorry, yeah it is

the one you probably want is "SV225" but if you spec out the same package with out the battery clips you save more than the clips cost. i also bought this from maplins: AC/DC Multi-Voltage 2500mA Switched Mode Power Supply : Switched Mode Power Supplies : Maplin so you can power it on outside...

agreed, but i wouldn't say " you should not be doing any repairs on your car"...hows he sposed to learn! now i've only had my p38 since June and already done: discs, pads, calipers, shocks all round water pump coolant expansion tank thermostat and put a new long engine in! before this car the...
