I have recently had problems with the suspension on my 1996 P38. When the car has been left for more than 2 days, the rear of the car sits down on its bumpstops, front still ok. When it is started, it takes a couple of minutes to build up the air so it rides level again. The EAS system works as...

My passenger door had a similar problem during the cold spell in January. The window position made no difference but manually locking the door from inside before driving allowed it to think the door was closed. If I locked the driver door from inside, all the locks popped up including passenger...

Is it possible oxygen sensors are faulty? Where would I find them? I didn't understand the "reset of adaptive values". Please explain to a ficklad!! Thanks for the reply.

I will have a check of UJs later in the week. As for the spiggot rings, what are they, Where do I source them, what do they do and what sort of price are they?

They are the standard fit wheels for this model - I think they are 16"? Can't remember and I'm not home til next week!

Definitely no wobble through steering - just the seats!!

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I have a 1996 P38 4.6HSE. It is nice and smoth to drive and changes gear well with no problems. When I increase speed to about 65 I get a gentle wobble in the front seats. It then fades away as I increase speed to over 70-75. There is no steering wobble...

I am looking to increase my mpg which seems to always be about 13-14. Driving round town and on motorways seems to make no difference at all. I know the car is due for a good service so what sort of things should I be looking at replacing to improve this mpg? I want to do the work myself. I do...

Thank you for all your replies. Just as I had hoped!! I will be doing the job in the next 3 weeks or so. If I have any problems I know where to come back to!! I will be using Kwikfit to regas the system. I don't nomally approve of such places but they were very helpful last visit AND they...

What sort of job is it to replace the condenser on my P38? I expect to have to take the front panel off and from what I can see it is just there in front. I cannot see the connections though. Are they a specialised fitting or can I remove and replace the pipes myself? I was told the condenser is...

Why is a very good question! I regularly drive in southern France and it is not uncommon for it to be 50 degrees celsius there. If I leave the car even for 15-20 mins, it is too hot to get back into. It doesn't warrant leaving the engine running all that time (could be an hour on occasions) but...

Would it be possible to remove the drive belt from the aircon compressor and fit an electric motor to drive this compressor instead? I'm not aware that the engine speed affects the operation of the compressor so an constant speed motor would probably work. The electrical supply to the compressor...
