Oil change time. Workshop manual says the oil filter changed in the 1998MY so ours should be the early type: STC2180 Most suppliers seem to identify the correct filter a different way by stating whether the filter has plastic or metal ends. Replacing like with like can perpetuate errors, I...

Okay so I've fixed all the MoT Test failures. Misfire on startup, clears < 1min. I am losing coolant to the point I have to top it up once a week. I know I have oil coming out of the valley gasket too but the leak is tiny... if messy. Slight tappet noise I can get fixed at the same time...

I'm pretty sure the answer here is "Oh, if that's where you're going, I wouldn't be starting from here." but here goes. When changing the Drag Link I disconnected the steering damper. There's nothing which says "Wrap damper with special tool LR-XXX." so, of course it lengthens to full...

Quick question. Replacing the drag link (entire assy), can I do it on ground ramps or do I have to jack it and put axle stands on both sides?

I'm considering buying some Poly-Armour brake hoses for my P38. They don't seem to list them by application, just by sizes and connectors. Can anyone point me in the direction of some specifications (diameter, length etc) and any relevant terminology re: couplers/connections for a P38?

D/S Rear Brake has started squealing. Pad doesn't seem to be pressing evenly on the disc... see piccies one without arrow is passenger side for comparison. What's the usual cause of that?

My P38 is 2000(W) with a YA43xxxx chassis number. Need to replace my oil sump drain plug and washer but various sites quote conflicting year ranges, chassis number ranges and part numbers... e.g they say 1995 - 2002 but quote only up to VIN WA410481 with part numbers UAM2857L and UAM2957L...

I'm replacing my rotary coupler but the old one has some odd wiring. It looks like the circuit board is damaged and someone seems to have bypassed the problem by splicing red wire into the green and red wire the joined it to the metal case... anyone seen this trick before? WTF? :violent:

I'm after a tip here. I've removed the drive belt and undone the two long bolts holding the alternator in place but it's stuck fast. There seems to be a rusty steel tube through the alternator bracket which is holding it in place... see attached photo. Tried a small crowbar :eek: but it...

If my old EAS pump was blowing through 40A fuses and stinks like burnt circuit board there's no point me buying a gasket replacement kit is there? :faint2: Can I get it refurbished to keep as a spare :) or is it bin fodder :( ?

My Nanocom Evolution says the following: NANOCOM - WABD.APP - WABCO ABS D type faults file 11-01 NO POWER AT PUMP MOTOR RELAY 011 TIMES --- I've checked all the engine compartment fuses including the Maxis with a continuity tester (both legs of each fuse in situ). All OK. I...

The relays in the engine bay fusebox are helpfully colour coded Yellow and Green. It's also obvious the Yellow are four pin and the green are five pin. However, closer inspection (and shopping for replacements) you get bombarded with various conflicting numbers. There's the AMR prefixed...

I'm trying to fix my multi-changer using information I found on here to unplug and re-plug the multi-connector but I can't figure out how it comes undone. I've looked for levers to squeeze, buttons to press etc. and can't find any. There appeared to be a screw head on the top but my jewellers...

I've been trying to get an answer to this but can't seem to find a definitive solution as most of the threads just cut off without a result. I thought I'd assemble all the symptoms and solutions into a single Post to act as a sort of mini-knowledge base. The basic symptom is a TRACTION FAILURE...

My P38 came with 20" Stomer wheels which I'm going to sell on eBay. I don't want to mislead anyone so I need to know if they are genuine or replicas. Does anyone know how I can tell? PS If anyone wants to make me an offer, please PM me. :D
