I did mine a few weeks back. Worth getting the security bit off eBay or similar. Easier than drifting on a 7mm socket and then trying to find a replacement bolt. I used a paint pen to mark 3 sides of the pump, and when refitting I ran a small amount of PX7 (diesel works well as an alternative)...

Took her for a trip into the muddybits on Sunday. Kept up OK, but everything else on the trip was a lot thinner than the ol' bus, so was a bit tight in places. Also, turns out trees make great rust removal devices. I've ordered some kit to remove and repair the wing. Colour match will be gash...

I was less than impressed. Really wanted to be angry when I went to get the keys, but they were hiding behind the receptionist, and I couldn't take it out on her, wasn't her fault I was angry. Thanks for finding that for me. My wife managed to get me booked into Townsend Garage (on the A303 if...

Took her in for MoT, booked in for 9am, so I left it with them since I had phys at half 8. Day starts ticking by, nothing. Pop in at around half 4 "oh we haven't done it because the emissions tester wouldn't communicate with your car and we're really busy" I am pretty sure he thought I had a new...

Either I am on crack, or I can't find the P38 on their website. The pump is a recon unit from 2017ish. I kinda expected it to last longer than this.

Well I fixed the cut out at idle issue, but now have a rough idle, and more importantly, still seem to be leaking fuel. The sensor at the rear of the pump under the head. I assume that is wet, since it has an oring. They a likely failure point? Because the other option is the head is still...

Pretty sure all that comes through there is fuel returned from the spilloff pipes. The main fuel supply comes into the main body of the pump below the QA block. I just hope none of the "precise engineering" breaks free as it'd write off my pump.

The QA from the FIP, this part looks damaged, but seems more tooling than wear and tear.

Anyone know if this guy in the centee is supposed to look so chewed up? Looks like someone has gone to town with a screwdriver. Can't be right, can it?

I'd just kill myself. Struggled enough working around the RR engine bay.

Sprayed the pump with leak detector. Think I know where the problem is. Seems to be QA and the head... maybe. For a big engine bay, it is so cramped in here.

I ordered the special tool for the security bolt, so that's not a concern. It is an expensive tool for what will be one time use item, but it seemed easier than trying to source a replacement bolt.

I am hoping that is all I have to do. I plundered some leak detector spray from work, so I can clean up the area, spray it down and then run round the block. Hopefully it is just to lid that is leaking so I don't have to play with the QA block or touch the rear "head" seal. Though I did take...

Have to bite the bullet and attempt the FIP seals in situ. Really wanted to pay someone to do it, but absolutely nowhere round here will touch it. Best offer I had was they could whip it off and send it away for recon. 500 just for the pump, not including labour and it can take upwards of 10...

My insurance wanted to rise from 200 to 600. After a lot of ringing around I managed to get it down to 400. Which is wild because I have 15 years no claims and if I ever get in a bender even minor, they'll just write it off.

I've been debating replacing the passenger arm with another driver arm so it is shorter. When I fit a short blade to not overlap the edge or the screen it leaves me with a huge unswept area.

I have to keep the lower part or the pump inside the bottom left corner of the fuel panel. Anywhere else it snaps shut all the time.

Too much gas added? I've seen a car where the owner used one of those DIY top up kits. Pressure was higher the Snoop Dog. We pulled twice the amount of gas needed for his car.

The intake does have visible oil, if the weather holds out this weekend I plan on removing the cold side to give the turbo a wiggle and clean out all the residue. Because it only happens when the revs dip my brain went with the oil is choking the engine causing the dip, rather than the dip...

Would those items cause blue smoke? I've got the details for a landy specialist round here to try and plug it in to see what it says. Not many places in the south west will touch a P38. Aircon isn't on (removed the belt a year or so ago), so I know that's not an issue at least.
