I feel for you pal. I know one day will have to let mine go BUT and a big BUT I know I'll miss the old gal even after all the heartache she has given me. Mind you I will remember all the good times more

I had a lot of good times, and more fun than I can say in the back of it!!

I remember an old MK2 Cortina that I had fun in the back with. Needed 2 new back leaf springs as they had some how broken

They may stop you driving it one day but can still keep it.
Worked for me and Eners.

The day I stop driving I think its the time I'll lay my head down to rest

Worst case you get someone to drive you around in it. In the back is best they’re a proper luxury chauffeur driven beast, something about the passenger seat doesn’t sit right with me ,pun intended, but in the back being driven around is something all P38 owners should do

Treated it to a good clean and polish up since its not had a proper proper clean since before the gearbox went last August

I've never trusted the butler with the keys in the past, maybe I'll have to have more faith

Has anyone ever had their P38 " Terracleaned " ?? I know all about the product and guys who have had other cars done with great results ( Wheeler dealers jaguar XK8 ) for example but just wanted to know if anyone has ever had their P38 done?? and the difference it made.

Cheers

I've heard about it thought it was a bit of snakeoil myself, but maybe some merit on forced induction engines.

Exactly how I feel, it will be bad enough when I am no longer able to work on my motors.

You could just go the Italian tune up method and save the £ for other stuff to give it a good service

Finished fitting the driver's seat cover with the one supplied by @pete12345 ,thanks again mate I can confirm a passenger side cover does fit the driver's . I had to change the colour and have to re do the piping so photos to follow when it's done. Had to recalibrate the EAS because the car looked like a dog cocking it's leg and The Boss was having difficulty getting in. Made me laugh

Interested to see the pics as i have some dye on its way to re do mine and hopefully change the piping colour from black to red.

Finally pulled the first carb out. No luck finding a cause for the loss of power at high revs...

But it was quite nice to be able to stand on both feet again after almost two months with a shot ankle! If it stops raining, I'll pull of the second one tomorrow.

The p38 really grows on me. Bought one 4 days ago and find my self addicted, just have to look at it, wonder whats under this rug or this panel, crawling under to see.. very strange

Found damp in the boot

My piping was black but there's a bit of light stone

My piping was black and I've just got to cover the light stone over paint.

Me too, about 10cm of it, after the spare was out. Drilled a hole underneat to let it out

Glad the old seat covers came in handy Alan
