I did have a go at jacking it up but getting all 4 wheels off ground was a bit :eek: with a £15 trolley jack and 1 bottle jack, so put it back down which is why im still here able to type. Mine just seems to clonk on the downshift into 2nd and 1st but smooth up shifts until the torque...

Bloody eck i've had this problem for 2 months thought i was being lazy by just leaving it :eek: Suppose the jack and axle stands will be in use tommorrow :doh:

fett ive got the same prob as you what was the fault with yours ?? i hate jacking the bloody thing up

cheers steve just been and tried to move the front propshaft and it did move but only about as much as say the second hand on a clock would if it moved one second :confused: The back one has no movement Also when i put it in low range all the symptoms a much more noticable Does this mean a...

Got a 2.5 with auto box done a filter and fluid swap ( dextron II ) about 1500 miles ago . It has now started to make this noise when selecting reverse and slighlty when slecting drive at standstill . But when coming to a stop on the road can hear and feel what seems like the box going into 2nd...

When youve got them all connected up just let the car run with a door open for about 15mins this'll fill the air tank then when you hit the button they should fill and rise as normal

if you have taken off all the retaining clips then sometimes the top of the air bags will stick to the chassis. when i did mine i found a nice long steel bar put between the wheel arch liner and gave it a good wiggle and it released them

Take it you mean the st ives in cornwall ??? If you are then theres a pay and play site near Truro called 'Baldhu' do a quick search and something should turn up.

Mines started doing this also . All air bags are new . I think it might be a sticking relay in the valve block that sometimes works and not others. If it was a leak then it would do it everytime

Are you sure it doesnt just need a reset . I thought that if you jack the car up to change wheels you should have the tailgate open so the EAS doesnt know whats going on and is not trying to self level, Spanner monkeys at tyre shop prob dont realise this

If your worried about the oil breather putting crud into the air intake system I think you can disconnect it and buy catch tanks or a small filter to put in its place

I just know that this is going to happen to me one day so im gonna gaffa tape a spare key under the chassis and im not tellin where!!!;)

Yep can agree there it was the first job i done on mine and i was thinking that i must have missed something it was so easy!! once you get started on them its self explanetry, I found a set of extra long nose pliers handy.

Sorry its a p38 dse year 2000 .

Ok read as many threads as i can on this including the one where the becm is on the way out:eek: The rear wiper doesnt work no noise no movement but washer is fine the arm has stopped at about the 4 oclock position. can someone go through how to pinpoint the fault ( moter , wires , switchs etc)...

Got to replace all the air bags so after looking around can see Dunlop air bags for £230 or the Arnott's for £280 are these worth the extra money in terms of performance , as for lasting i dont think i'll have the car long enough for either to go wrong so not an issue. Unless anyone knows...

know what you mean with the boxes with 2 plugs , thought they were all like it. Just want to unplug it to see if its actually doing anything??

Hi all been looking at this site for the last 3 months and now proud owner of a 2.5 P38 , Read all the posts regarding remap and tuning boxes and was loooking forward to unleashing those extra horses!!! However after a bit more time looking round the engine bay relised it'd already been fitted...

I'm looking at getting a 2.5 diesel and just wondered what the comfortable cruising speed for these is on the moterway?? also does anyone know if the discoTD5 is any better for this.
