I have ripped the dash out, changed the blend motors, changed the heater O rings, replaced the screw for an Allen headed cap bolt. While the HEVAC unit was out, I replaced the ribbon cable for the silicon zebra connector.

Going to inspect the timing chain on my 1998 P38a 2.5 diesel sometime over the weekend.

Just showing off now...
The dash was actually a lot easier than expected, once it's off, everything is easy to get to
I also forgot, I lubed up all the flapper arms in the heating box with some lithium grease. My blend motor had jammed due to a seized shaft.

changed both front sensors repaired front under tray. fitted new temp sensor cleaned underneath engine bay. I am absolutely shattered.
Agree.. did mine a few weeks ago and it's not that bad to do, just time consuming and a mass of screws and wires to put back. But once out an eye opener to all the jobs that can be done.The dash was actually a lot easier than expected, once it's off, everything is easy to get to

I made one mistake though, thought I would tape up all the ducting to help make it more efficient. Mistake.. somewhere in there is a gap in the tape, that now whistles when the fan comes on past 2 bars.
(Leave stuff alone. Lesson)

Yeah, I got as much tape on things as I could get my hands in, I haven't had the chance to try it out yet due to the engine FUBAR.

Fixed my washer jets. Ever since I bought it the rear washer hasn't worked. Pushing the stalk forward did the front window, back did nothing, and pushing the button did the headlights. After swapping the wires round the various pumps I now have them working correctly. Except for the headlight washers which now refuse to operate.

Headlight washers only work every third time windscreen washers used ( I think )

Yesterday, ran a new cruise control vacuum pipe in to replace the old Swiss cheese like one .........cruise control still doesn't work
Can you hear the relay clicking when you switch it on and off?Yesterday, ran a new cruise control vacuum pipe in to replace the old Swiss cheese like one .........cruise control still doesn't work
Is the light on on the dash switch?
Could be brake switch needs resetting
With a bit of blue gasket sealer on it, it did, not the first time I have used pegs... take a look at the headlining walk through, I used them then lolPut a peg repair spring kit on e-bay for £15
Did that actually work?

washing it too hard by looks of it
I did read your headlining thread long ago before I joined. I actually ended up pulling 1/2 off at a time, hoovering it, then sprayed it in vehicle and used a paint roller to spread it back on
It looks terrible if you stare at it, otherwise you won't notice and better than having a ghost flapping in back I did adopt your peg idea with clamps to bond my smashed grill back together after seeing the thread. Lesson - your grille will break if you roll your P38 over!
Hat off to you mate, it's a good how to on a very, very common problem that is expensive to sub out
