I think you can enable and disable with Nanocom. Need the buttons on the stalk, obviously.

Dropped the engine oil and filter.
Did the gearbox oil, dropped the forward most part of the valve block to check for dirt and debris.
Pretty clean after 230.000mls.
Tightened all the bolts on the block and sub plate to 8nm. Some where at little backed off but not much. I'll test drive it cold tomorrow and see about the flaring through 2nd - 3rd. It may just be a tired box after all.
Adjusted the heights in low profile and standard as it sat down a little on the right. Just one bit up at the rear right cured it. Fingers crossed tomorrow brings some results. I also changed the oil from mannol to Avia 86. Dex2 of course. I got 6.4ltrs out of the box.
It was a scary thing doing the forward most valve block. A small check ball and three cupped washers, a. 35' and two. 40' washers.... Back together as it should be... Phew.... The pump is doing a great job sauf the added noise... But that's what the stereo is for

Dex II? should be Dex III surely?. Tightening the valve block bolts made a big improvement in the 2/3 flaring on mineDropped the engine oil and filter.

Morning young man, so DEX II is higher viscosity? I still have 15 litres of DEX III in stock to use up.Morning Keith, back to dex2. I know it take a couple of minutes to warm on a winter morning but this morning will bring results.
The viscosity I don't know, but with mileage on the box taking it back to original oil specs can't help. It's better than a 3000€ rebuild cost here in France...

Think outside, no box required.
You could always rebuild it yourselfThe viscosity I don't know, but with mileage on the box taking it back to original oil specs can't help. It's better than a 3000€ rebuild cost here in France...
Morning enners, I did consider this tbh, what about the sprag clutch? If I could get all the parts I'd rebuild the box I've got in the scrapper. The whole ordering parts from the uk is getting stupidly expensive.. I ordered a regulator for my Pcp air rifle from lane regulators. Marked up as £22 on the delivery slip and I got charged 13€ import tax... Effing rip off.. I'd love an hp22 with the modified torque converter but not if I pay a tax like that on it....You could always rebuild it yourself

I don't think DEX II has ever been specified for the HP22e, it was for the early non electronic box.The viscosity I don't know, but with mileage on the box taking it back to original oil specs can't help. It's better than a 3000€ rebuild cost here in France...

You need an HP 24. The one in the scrapper may not need a rebuild.

I have posted pictures of my P38 towing the trailer with the project car onboard, I can't re-post at the moment because that is one of the files I lost when my XP computer threw a wobbly.project what??? Ahem... Pictures please young man
I might have the photo's on my phone so I will see if I can get them back on the computer. I told a lie about the mpg loaded, it was a little bit under 22mpg
I did consider a hp24 but as this one has lasted 230.000mls and is tuned I figured why change. I do like the idea of the hp24 but also a rebuilt box hmmmm.... So many choices

Tuned? How do you tune an HP22e?I did consider a hp24 but as this one has lasted 230.000mls and is tuned I figured why change. I do like the idea of the hp24 but also a rebuilt box hmmmm.... So many choices
