Thanks SAS & Saint - I shall have a ferret around at the weekend and see if that sheds any more light on the problem! Update to follow soon. Cheers again for the help!:)

H all, The cruise control on my 2000 4.6ltr petrol P38 has recently stopped working. I have no idea about the inner workings of cruise control and so am at a bit of a loss - hopefully someone will be kind enough (and more knowledgable!) to help.... The symptoms and recent history is as...

Well - thank you everyone for all of te very helpful advice - wammers your top tip wins on this occasion!! Am man of very little patienc, I couldn't wait until the weekend to have a tinker on the RR - checked, pushed and re-seated all of te airlines & low and behold - no air loss!! That's...

Hi all - thanks for the very useful pointers - I couldn't wait until the weekend and have had a fiddle about with the abs sensor - it wasn't fully engaged. I have now pushed the sensor back in fully, driven around for a few miles, and.......... Hey presto - all sorted!!! Thanks again -...

A little pre-tinkering update and further request for pointers..... I have managed to park the RR on level ground, for the last couple of nights, for the first time since noticing the drop in height - it now transpires that only the front bags seem to be losing air - does anyone know whether...

Thanks Wammers - I must learn not to engage the hammer before the grey matter!!

Fantastic everyone - I really appreciate all the pointers!! I have set Sunday aside for sorting a few little niggles out, so shall hopefully be able to post some more good news on Monday! :)

Thanks John & Saint. I shall try the EAS timer to see if I can isolate a specific corner & although I think I got the diaphragm seal the right way around - I think another strip down is in order!! Cheers for the pointers :):)

Thanks Saint - I didn't know about e sensor until well after engaging a piece of 3x2" in/around the hub area :( - definitely 'amateur' rather than 'mechanic' - I normally get an A for effort though:)

I concur! Having recently changed all four ags on my P38 - I had a hell of a game with one of the rears, dislodged the bottom, ripped te bag in half, fashioned a ratchet strap pulley and eventually managed to get it out with a pry bar! Persistence......... Good luck :)

Thanks for he advise Saint - sounds like a little bit more tinkering at the weekend!! Cheers

Hi all, I changed the rear discs and pads on my 2000 P38 4.6 at the weekend - thankfully all came loose quite easily. Unfortunatley I had neglected to check the brakes soon enough and allowed the piston on the o/s calliper to over extend. I had a real game pushing the piston back and...

Hi everyone, Just thought a little update on the eas was called for: Now replaced compressor, replaced o rings in valve block, new air bags all round & replaced clips at the same time(rear bags were not in a good way :() Also replaced shocks, which were beginning to show signs of...

I've had a similar problem on mine (three out of four wheels :mad:) - as the steel perished or just the ally cap? I managed to hammer a socket over just enough to crack the nut - had to hammer through the ally with a screwdriver and prise it off first

Thanks datatek - I shall check the connections tomorrow (all still working ok at the mo though......fingers crossed!!) New air bags next month (after pay day of course!) Does anybody have any advice/experience/comments re air bag types - arnott gen2, gen3, original parts??? Thanks all Bobbles

Hi all - quick update from today's attempts - height sensors seem to function well. Bags (although tired) do not appear to be leaking. Check all lines - also seem ok. As it happens, I have done 4 or 5 journeys today and around 100 miles & the eas seems to be working fine again...

Thanks bigggeeeee - I already have a nokia So don't need to purchase one. I am hoping to be able to use my iPhone ideally. Cheers as well mad hat man - the kit unfortunately doesn't have Bluetooth. Anyone know whether I can splice a new kit into the old wiring? Or is he Nokia wiring...

Thanks datatek, I run vista and the usb lead is a cheap eBay special, so not sure which chip. I shall see if I can find out and try to get good comms. Update on progress later.......

Hi everyone, Does anybody know whether I can butcher the fitted (& functioning) Nokia hands free kit in my 2000 p38 to run an iPhone on it? :confused: The existing kit is for a Nokia 6310. Thanks all :) Bobbles

Mine is an absolute baby - 78k on a 2000 4 - no where near run in yet - probably still on original tyres - but definitely not on it's original tank of fuel!!
