yeh, u just reminded me, yes there is shake when holding at about 55mph. if you push through it say up to 70 it goes. but back again at about 90 (on a track of course cos that would be illegal on the roads). steering box seems good. all other joints seem good when i checked last week. but i...

not yet as me dad has borrowed it for a few days. get it back tomorrow so i will check then. just basicly wanted to no how many clicks there is supposed to be cos 8 sounds abit much.

hi again. another problem i have had for a while but been too busy to fix is the steering on my P38. when driving it will tend to move aroud alot (left and right) but dont get any feeling in the steering wheel, dont feel like its moving when the car does, i just have to counter it when it...

Hi all First of all MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! now once again my p38 had got ANOTHER issue. over the last few weeks i have noticed that the handbrake is no holding on hills. even if i really pull it hard it does not always hold. handbrake itself is able to be pulled up to 8 clicks!!! how many is...

managed to get the dam thing off. heated it up and didnt really make much of a difference, but then i heated it up for about 5 minutes then sprayed wd40 and then turned it half a turn both ways a few times and it come loose. well i say loose, it still took another 30 minutes to slowly turn it...

yeh i no, crimped side is passenger side. im changing the drivers side becasue there is alot of play and its a nightmare when driving. especially on motorways. exciting tho, lol

heat gun first, then blowtorch. still nothing tho

Started my next job on my P38 the steering track rod ends. got it out of the hub......just. what a struggle that was. now i cannot get the thing to unscrew from the rod. tried heating up and couple of different sprays, nothing. dont really want to have to buy a new rod due to having low...

nope havent looked at nothing yet. one thing i might add is that when i was trying to bleed the clutch, the bleed tube was attached to the screw and then i undun it and instead of fluid through the tube there was drips of fluid coming out from around the screw. only a few drips tho. dont no what...

thanks for the advice. however was driving it tonight and all of a suddedn changed gear and the bite moved back to where it was and free play has gone. WTF??? dont understand it but anyway, i will re do it again tomorrow, when i change one of the rack rod ends.

bled the brakes today and all has gone well this time, but after the brakes were done i went to bleed the clutch just to renew the fluid and check for bubbles as i have noticed the pedal just dont feel the same lately. done exactly as the rave says but nothin is happening. its says to push...

i agree there air in the system. god knows how. theres no air coming out of bleed nipple. pure fluid. fluid tank was kept above min at all times. dont understand how air has got into it.

ok something has gone wrong. bled the brakes exactly as rave said and now the brake pedal is really spongy and can be pushed to the floor. drove it round block and brakes do work and just as good as before before but pedal has way too much travel in it. changed all the fluid. flushed just...

still aint got round to doing my brakes. dad came round with his lil pug 106 again. what a lil **** that car is. im sick of it but been working on that all. hopefully i can get some time spare to do it tomorrow. would be nice to hear about the abs question so i no for when i do the brakes tho...

Would that make a difference or is that just quicker????

omg what a dippy prat i am. this is what happens when you got a pregnant wife at home that dont let ya sleep cos they spread out in the bed. now i have caught up on sleep i see my mistake. bit confusing as this type of bleeding is all new to me but i will print the page off and get to grips...

according to the rave, when bleeding the brake you dont bleed the back ones. you bleed from the front then bleed from the master cylinder. is this right. seems odd.

will do.

hi. I have a P38 2.5DT. Fluid has been running low for last week or so and tomorrow im going to renew the fluid. just got a 5 litre bottle of fluid from a mate so im sure i got enough. what i want confirmed is the order of bleeding on these cars. i've only ever bled small cars but i have...

thanks i will look for some tomorrow.
