Put some petrol in the p38.. took it for a blast
Made it back I've not hacked at the thermostat enough, it only pressurises when the needle goes past the 1st white line, so around 75-80cDid you make it back.
Part ex possibilities.

Still chasing a knock on the front end so replaced the last old ball joint. Couldn't get the new slide hammer in so improvised with some screwed rod, ball joint still wouldn't shift but a few blows on the slide hammer with a lump hammer and out it popped, much quicker than the 8 1/2 hours it took for the O/S. And yes it's still knocking .
At least it also gave me a chance to try a couple of my new spanners.

The barrels can be swapped, not that easy as there is a roll pin to extract.Replaced the driver door latch on my project P38 so that works correctly now. New problem is the lever on the back of key barrel broke off while disconnecting the rod that connects to the latch . Ordered a replacement complete handle, so hopefully I can swap the barrels over & avoid the dual-key issue.
Also removed the BBUS unit, so no alarm when starting now.

There was an issue with some front struts knocking i think it was the delphi ones.
Thanks for the info.
Is that from new? I've had the car for about 3 years and still on the same ones.
I seem to remember it was to do with some of the replacement struts that people had fitted when the air bags went
Was the hiss from positive or negative pressure?Checked coolant this morning and there was just a hint of residual pressure. I know it can take days to fully equalise so maybe i need to drive longer and see what happens
Not sure, I'd guess positive, maybe 1-2 psiWas the hiss from positive or negative pressure?
