Morning all, I'm looking to change out my standard seats in my 90. But obviously cannot afford exmoor trim prices. I've seen quite a few people fitting Mazda RX8 seats quite successfully but the 2nd hand market are all looking pretty tired now. I'm thinking maybe some Mercedes A Class seats...

i think mine might be on the way out, were you losing coolant?

sounds like your gas struts are on the way out, only about a £10 off flea bay, i just had to change the ones on my boot

Thanks for that, i think you have hit the nail on the head with the map sensor pipe as my MPG has been a bit lower than normal for a while now, thought the service would sort it. I did have the manifold off looking for somewhere to connect the pipe but to no avail. Any chance you could post a...

no, its not that one, but it does look like its meant to go somewhere in that area.

thanks for all the advice (so far) All done with the service, no drama's with it apart from the air filter that i ordered was wrong. But as i was changing the fule filter i noticed one of the rubber pipes that ran by it had perished, so i replaced it, but then noticed another pipe that wasnt...

i've already done the auto box, going to do all the normal filters today and oil, then i think i'll definitly look into doing the diff's and the t/box, i take it changing the brake fluid is not a straight forward task if you need a manual?

i didnt have to completely remove the centre console, i got a drain cleaner/unblocker and shoved it in the air con drains by the gearbox, it came out just behind the conlsole and into the foot well, this was on the passenger side so might be different on the dvr's.

mileage is 135000 ish, and had for just over 6 months now

i had this problem, the air con drains either side of the gearbox was the problem, a pipe had disconnected it self and, reconnected the pipe and water came flushing out, no problem since

yeah thats one thing i feared, is there a certain way to bleed the fuel system on these?

about to do a service on my p38 2.5 dhse today, isa there any tips people can give me before i start? I.E. special tools etc. I only ask as i did a saab not too long ago and it turned out i need a vacuum pump to bleed the low pressure fuel side (managed to do it without one in the end) But...

Whats the best way of getting air out the system? I read somewhere to just let it run for 1/2 hour with the cap off, do you think that will sort it? And yeah i think i am going to have to get the faults read on it, i had a feeling it would just be a sensor, well i hope it is anyway!

hi, i've got the p38 2.5 DHSE, obviously it has issues! problem number 1: After going for a decent drive it likes to kick the coolant out of the expansion tank leaving a rather nice puddle on the floor. It drives fine and i had a new rad, water pump, thermostat and expansion tank cap in the...

this is exactly what happened to me whilst on the way to bavaria, split accross the top of the radiator, but mine did overheat and the light did come on. but i ended up being towed to the local land rover garage, after a bit of argueing (me telling them to repair the radiator) they ended up...
