Well At last found the problem. three liners have slipped causing a right dent in the head gasket Causing a slight crack on one side of the gasket. Can see where the liners have been Hitting the gasket :(. So not going to bother to repair. Also there is a lot of play in the pistons and a lot...

what ecu am i checking the earth for there are loads ? and where would i find it ?

i am a bit confused by the fluid levels, I am presuming when idling after a run, ie hot the level should be on the second higher hole on the dip stick ? where should it be when not running and cold

No not yet. Hope to crawl under today. Been a busy few days

Sorry was reading it and mistakenly thought it was my thread. Oops sorry Was looking for advice on head gasket.

yes i have ordered them to and they are going to be skimmed

Found then, Part number STC4082EL Island 4x4 Thanks

any idea who sells them ?

can anyone suggest the best head gasket set to put in this V8 doing it Monday Ta

I have had a lot of problems with plugs corroded. That was the airbag problem.

Yrs

Just connected the nanocom and it say solenoid power fault ?

little underpowered then, cant wait to get my v8 back, having head gaskets done

on the flat it changes as it should with a little help from lifting pedal a bit, just seems way to much revs compared to my v8, i know its more power in that, just seems like its screaming

the fluid was a dull red and about 5 litres came out, only put 4 back in to the line

Have changed the filter abs fluid. But still just as lazy changing gear. It’s mainly up an incline. Revs to over 2.75 before it changes. is this normal. Does not sound like it. Have not changed the ECU temp sender yet. One on order Will this make a difference

I ha e a ramp so will get it up and spay the bolts today. Also check tnat green sensor. Thanks I don’t like the idea of these bolts sharing off

Spoke to the old owner they had it for two years and never changed it I’ve had it for nearly 8 months but it’s been off the road until now so time to do it I think I take it the level when running should be up to the second hole on the dipstick is that correct because when it’s running it’s...

No idea when it was changed, and yes thought it should be red , Yes I agree, have ordered one already Thanks

P38 DSE 1996 Auto The gears seem very reluctant to change, switch is in normal mode could it be an idea to change filter and fluid ? would that make a difference Fluid is unusually clear ?? Thanks
