Generally considered wise to tow a spare car behind you! If long distance then definitely a Nanocom. In my wheel-well I have a roll of metric and imperial spanners going all the way from 4 mm up to an inch. Also pliers .and various screwdrivers...

I think the RPM 28 and temperature is just it logging something when shut off and a ghost fault. Not sure what the glow plug one is. That looks real. The invalid fault is most likely just that. 25% modulation is weird. I wonder if injector #4...

Easy to see when you know what you are looking for.

Yes definitely the metal ring from the air inlet pipe. The section it was supposed to be in was no longer round having developed a flat section, I'm thinking that this would have acted like a hole or split in the inlet pipe hence crappy...

Looks OK.

I've Had some interesting results on Google lens, trying to identify it. Brutalist art piece is my favourite, defender exhaust component another 😆😆😆

That's off the MAP.

Sorry for late reply but people keep having holidays so work has been mad! All sounds interesting. I think my p38 may need a holiday in buckinghamshire soon for a proper look at!

Those type of clips can be tightened up with ceramic tile nippers if any needs to.

Right, been at it today with the pressure testing. Warmed the engine up, then fitted the pressure tester. Went to about 14 psi. Waited about half an hour, and the pressure had dropped to about 11 psi: And after an hour, it was just shy of 8...

I'm lucky enough to live in the flight path of the Spitfire from Headcorn Aerodrome, it passes over my house half a dozen times a day in the warmer months. If you pay the really big bucks for the passenger experience, they will do loops and...

Absolutely is, the way it’s sat there is like it’s had the hangar built around it.

I don't think Nanocom has anything for the turbo other than the MAP value and maybe MAF for the later engine.

Be aware that even the expensive stuff seems to work harden and if disturbed after a month or so will have to be replaced. The proper stuff is dimpled like a golf-ball.

This is the part number for the Gates pipe, GATES 3225-00070 i often put a small cable tie on the end pulled up tight once in position but the cheep pipe still seems to sweat through the pipe. theceep stuff is almost a six monthly service item :(

Thank you so much I will get a socket for the tool box No bloody good hose 👍 Strangely when the car is cold the NBG leak off hose is hard to pull off but after driving when engine is hot I’ve discovered it just slips off Looks like it’s...

Just had a look at both mine, on one only the return pipe has a clip, the suction side to the pump is just pushed on. On the other one where I have changed the fluid, both pipes have clips. The orientation of the pipes is different on the two...

If the waste gate is stuck partially open it will certainly affect power. I doubt you need to replace the turbo, just find out if it's the actuator or the waste gate that is sticking. If it's the waste gate it can be freed off, if it's the...

Should kick in around 1750 rpm.

As above. Doubt it is a cracked head but if sooty it might be blowing past the copper washer on the injector.

That B52 in the American hanger is massive!

Took my 4.2 sc on a 6 hour round round trip from Rochdale to Duxford air museum Cambs, drove great there and back, even kept the mother in law happy! Took about £95 fuel with average of around 24-26mpg. Also for anyone not been Duxford is...

WHen im in the UK istay near littlehampton and the goodwood airfield is near and often there is a spitfire flying over and if you have got a spare bit of cash you can fly one...

Same in my diesel.

A new Rangie parked by my P38A today. It is a big beastie. I was surprised how long it is.

I don't think so but I am sure someone has managed to get it arse about face.

+1. New Dexron 3 in the steering reservoir. You can undo the 2 8 mm studs and turn it upside down. Refill, drive for a week or so and then do again.

Steering. The fluid is ATF, same as the gearbox.

Well the car has been up on the ramp at the garage. Reckons the steering rack and track rods are fine! The only movement they can find on the front is drivers control arm bush.. which is the only one I've not replaced so that's no surprise. So...
