Just like to say a big thanks to all forum members who helped me out over the last few years. Special mention to Datatek and Wammers. When i first became a P38 owner i didnt have a clue and would have quickly given up on my Vouge if i hadnt found the knowledge and help on this forum. Now 4 years...

Sadly im selling my 4.6 Vouge in Oslo blue. Cant justify to the missus anymore having two cars and 2 motorbikes in the current financial climate I will consider any offer within reason so dont be shy. Ive had her for four years and im quite suprised to say that, as when i first bought her she...

Just changed the alternator on my 4.6 vouge andthought id do the belt at the same time. Cant get the bugger on. How do you get some slack on the tensioner at the same time as pulling the belt onto the pulleys??

Funny new problem, engine cut out for no apparent reason today, after getting a tow home and poking around a bit i found the 40A fuse for the starter motor had blown. replaced this and she started up fine, but when i turn her off this fuse blows again everytime. Any of you electrical gurus know...

Not been on here in a while (touch wood its been fine for the last nine months), 50 miles on french motorway and three beeps and eas goes to hard fault 35 mph:confused: only 300 miles to go on no suspension. Got to destination got hold of a laptop. Got eas unlock off my memory stick plugged it...

Am i wrong in assuming that when you lock with the keyfob that all four indicators are supposed to flash? Only just realised it but its always been that way that on mine, its my rear lights (ordinary red rears) along with the front indicators, that flash when i lock. I have the very occasional...

Just decided to get my old Triumph back on the road. Found that the carbs are all junked up solid, looking for a good cleaner but all i can find are the spray types and i dont think they will make any impression on the ammount of crap im looking at. What would be a good solution to soak the...

Got a problem with top gear on my 2001 4.6. Very occasionallly it will refuse to change up into top. First tme it happened i started driving and got the dreaded three beeps twice, but nothing on the message centre and the car seemed to be driving ok until i got to an open bit of road and i got...

Gonna try to fix the oil leak coming from both rocker covers this weekend, weather permitting. Have read through rave and it seems a lot of faffing about just to change a couple of rocker gaskets. Is all of it neccasary?? IE removing gas struts for the bonnet, removing /loosening coil pack...

Cheeky but here goes...... missus got out the car on a shopping trip and "heard something fall off" but diddnt think to try to see what it was. As soon as i opened the door i could see the cover was missing off the fuse panel under the drivers seat. Anyone got a spare preferably in black. will...

For everyone running around with no spare Wheel. Tescos are doing tyreweld at half price at the moment thats £3.50 a can.

Had a problem a while back with the interior lights always being on even with key renoved, doors locked. Had to pull the fuse everytime i got out to prevent battery going flat. After a while it just went away and i forgot about it. It came back last week and i was a bit p**ed off.:doh: After...

Got a new Janspeed Stainless Cat back exhaust in the post. Just looked under the old girl and all the nuts holding the old one on are corroded to feck. All look as if they will need to be ground off. Would you spend half a day laying on your back with an angle grinder or give a spotty oik in the...

Can anyone tell me if the Thor engine and the 2.5 Diesel engine use the same airbox. There is one on fleabay that says it for a 2.5 DSE but looks just like the one on my 4.6 dont want to waste my money tho if it wont fit.

The airbox on my 51 plate thor has been held together with gaffer tape and cable ties for a while now after LPG problems blew it to feck, (now sorted). Ive seen a couple of posts about the K&N cone filters not being a good idea on the thor engine, any thoughts on this or has anyone done this and...

Just wanted to say thanks to the old girl for getting me all the way from east sussex to cumbria and back this weekend. a round trip of just shy of 900 in 3 days and she didnt skip a beat. Also averaged 3.29 miles per litre of LPG which i make just shy of 15mpg as she was loaded with 4 adults...

Just came across this site. Home I know there is a divergence of opinion on here about DIY Lpg conversions but if you ignore those parts of the site there is some useful stuff explaning the way LPG systems work and even articles about servicing and tune ups.

had a funny problem last night, it did happen a while ago then seemed to disappear. Started up ok drove off and it switched to gas ok after a few seconds ( its setup to switch at 2000rpm) got about a mile down the road and noticed that when i backed off the gas, going down a hill or something...

Can anyone help me out please, I need a drivers side headlight for my 2001 P38 the ones with the black surround, willing to part with a resonable amount of beer tokens for it. Mine just failed the MOT on corroded reflector and the stealers want me to take out a new mortgage for one so if you can...
