Well long time since I been here! Just thought Id fly in and pay a visit! How are you all?! Reading the thread and from experience of a similar issue... Firstly your new 'Hurricane' Wheels are they propa' P38 hurricane or L322 'hurricane' that somebody told you were hurricane(i.e. the same as...

Reading this, it's probably wise of me to keep my dirty german thoughts to myself...:D:p If i found the urge somewhere or somehow to dabble back in P38's I would go for a late D2 or Early D3. As mentioned the load space for a huge car is quite disappointing for your camping equipmnent - that...

If i may poke my most humblest finger in the air here... :) I always went to the local engineering or motorfactors and picked up 25 litres of Morris Lubricants.MXC A3 15-40 or whatever her tipple was, 2 oil filters and fuel filter for £60. 25 was enough for two changes, hence two filters, plus...

Rf receicer is under the trim beneath the rear quarter glass driver side in the boot. Little black box. 5 min job Driver door actuator mechanism probably on the way out and may also contribute to battery drain if it keeps trying to lock itself. Only way to be sure is hook up an ammeter next to...

Yes! Change the centre of gravity at 60mph and you will learn more about physics than you did at scholl.

Without hijacking the op thread: very well no troubles yet touch wood...and still bags of fun. Drivetrain is holding together well :) Even if one of the two £900 variable vane turbos blew or either of the two FIPS or 10 injectors then they are all covered under my £200 2 year warranty :) i did...

first one .... cruise control vacuum unit should go here but some one has put another fuel filter? second one looks like the original fuel filter unit has been replaced with an inline version and made a real gash job of it. third looks is the EGR valve..i didnt have one on mine (97) so...

I don't think so as they make a big point of it in the manual and they gave it a locking button.... and even if i am wrong and it did....do you think you could trust any electrics or automatics on a P38?! :D

may not be the definitive cause of this one but a hit home reminder to always lock the air suspension when towing!

if you can live with it, just unplug the antenna wire (blue from memory) so it wont pick up any signals unless it's right next to the box. While it's the bodgers fix it worked for me as I couldn't justify the cost against the age of the vehicle. For the sake of holding the fob against the rear...

If you leave everything in place it can be done easily in about 10 mins. Nice long lever on the belt tensioner - I used a 500mm breaker bar to slip into the gap and very gently ease it down (pushing the ram up) just enough to slip the belt off - it's literally 1/2" movement is all thats needed...

Couldn't help myself and check back in and read some of the posts - still tyre sizes, cooling probs and batteries and diesel consumption :D nothing much changed! As promised to those who wanted an update: Deep snow over the peak district, ashbourne - macclesfield, and the Treg didnt even flash...

Coolant 50/50 for good all year round performance - use good quality stuff to spec in rave. Top up with deionised water when needed. Max level checked when cold. (Or the water from your tumble dryer) to avoid scaling. Oil - same spec as per rave most change every 6k to 10k. Synthetic would be...

Some more pics

Now sold - amazing what a bit of snow will do for 4x4 sales :)

Haha ;) happy days

Like "ohhh ffs ant" when a bust fuel pump means it pulls up on the back of tow truck :p lol the winch will be doing all the groaning that night ;)

Might want a few more pounds in the pocket to accomodate girlfriends...although 2 less girlfriends with a v8 ;) technically 20 % less pulling power

RR sport - pay twice as much for the oldest model - all servicing and tyre changes on that are done by a laptop only available at dealers with next to no equipment inside, plus jordan and every other footballer has one including the ginger kid from harry potter. Subaru forrester? - i dont like...

So after a couple of week of driving, a few hundred miles and few cm of snow and ice... One full tank at 100 litres (P38 DSE 90l) i managed 435 miles brim to brim. A-road at 50mph with cc saw 36mpg.Not much less than the DSE. much more comfortable on the motorway, drives like a golf and sits...
