Hmm.. "There are none so blind as do not want to see'

You are not listening, the hole was caused by a badly fitted exhaust, no part of the exhaust should be able to come into contact with the back axle or any other part of the running gear even when the car is on the bump stops. It could even have...

X8R for the parts. Replace all the o-rings & diaphragm valve. Do the compressor refurb as well. Before & after that check the airbag for leaks where the airline enters, and around the folds in the bags at all four heights.

Sounds like you need a better garage, given they fitted the exhaust badly. If the u-bolt was that close, the chances are Access Mode could also do the same damage with the EAS working. I cannot find a single instance in the 600,000 posts on...

Almost certainly air leaks, and a worn or failing compressor. Could also be leaky diaphragm valve. @dubloman your location is a bit vague !! Plenty of us in the UK, but only those near your town could help !! Put it in your profile

I second that about the rain. Lower half has been useful at times, i.e. as a laptop bench when several of us were working on a Virgin/Liberty Global Trials site in the good weather. In the bad weather a one-piece tailgate would have been...

Yes I thought that as well. Ordered a pair & will see tomorrow. At least I can return them if they don't fit !!

Ha Ha. Never heard of that. Would need to be a sudden failure that dropped the car onto rocks or similar. Even on the bump stops, the exhaust is nowhere near the ground. If the exhaust was badly fitted maybe the axles came into contact ...

Def try Bemble or Ashcroft. They will probably know what needs swapping.

Diameter or AWG is what the suppliers use. 25sqmm seems to be between 2 & 3 AWG, so I wonder if these will do the job ? Opinions welcome !! Option 1 Option 2

+1 on that. Marty experimented creating a replacement EAS driver pack using modern solenoid hit-drop driver chips, etc. It worked, but did suffer gremlins & glitches. The plan was good, but if I remember he was too busy to complete the project.

Before, but wait for the solenoids to stop ticking after you get out of the car.

BTW, anyone know the standard battery cable size on 1998 V8 P38 ??

This is what I have found: For the cable crimps, I have a hydraulic crimp tool, but need to get some crimps large enough for the cables. If I go this route will also do the salt & vinegar copper cleaning & probably solder the ends as...

So last night while driving to Fleet, my Green P38 completely cut out a few times, although only for a second or two. All electrics dies, but came back, so I thought fusebox again ?? Luckily it recovered each time, so continued on & got it...

I'm unwatching this thread . . . . . at least until the EAS is re-instated !!

Yes you are correct, my error, put it down to old age and the fact that the EAS is so reliable that it's been a long time since I have used the software. I have edited my post thanks.

Enjoy your springs then, BUT where are you ?? There's plenty of us that would happliy use the EAS stuff you get removed.

Surely the TD6 is a smoke machine ??

I thought the "Clear All" button was just the clear the values preveiosly read ?? The "Unlock EAS" is for clearing faults.

The P38 EAS is not OBDII compliant, so that scanner is unlikely to work. Put your town name in your forum profile - there might be peeps nearby with proper P38 diagnostics & experience fixing it.

Can't remember how many either, but yes I will probably need 20. Let us know how your guinea pig does !! LR Cat shows either 11 or 14 clips for lower trim depending on VIN.

Keith, Yes will def go for high temp one. I'm gonna try putting it on the power feed close to the pack first & see if that helps. Might even do the old thing of putting a 100nF ceramic in parallel with the electrolytic. I have another pack...

You probably need to do a decent production run. There are many on here that would buy some, me included. . . . . how much for a pack of 10 ?

No potholes. It randomly does it when stationary as well. On Thurs it was fine to Milton Keynes & back. On Saturday drive up to Eldesborough was ok, but then it did it about 6-7 times on the evening return ? Next job is to replace the...

What that actually means is that the EDC/ECU will not be sent a mobilisation code to re-mobilise it.

Who told you that ?? It's still available & windoze 11 compatible according to Adobe.

IMO Edge is pretty poor, I don't use it.

Definitely will give it a try, probably across the power wires close to the pack. Still have not managed to fully de-pot one of my spare driver packs & get the PCB out.

aah yes that makes sense. The version with TSB's is useful as well but is also Windoze only. I have shortcuts to all three on my Win10 laptop. Can't find my Microcat copy, but I'm sure it will surface one day.
