    THey do not clear. Not sure what is going on. I can see the heights when it reads, so it is reading ok. Just not able to clear.

    Checking the continuity of pressure switch, it is an open circuit. Fuse #24 = 5A and is ok. Fuse #29 = 10A but is missing........ Which is strange. Fuse #35 = 5A and is ok. Fuse #44 = 10A and is ok.

    I have a good valve block, or so I believe. It was taken from a car that had a coil conversion, however, when I took off the valve block it was still holding a lot of air pressure in there. Also have the refurb kit which I was thinking of installing anyway.

    Update - Overdue. Moved the car to a family member's house, it was on the bump stops and ouch, bumpier than I remember the last time. Glad it was only 10 miles. With credit to the guys who had it, they are really good specialists, and I think they gave up as it was costing them a lot of money...

    Years ago when it first failed I drove it over 50 miles very slowly. All was ok. 10-15 is nothing, besides I cannot order the emergency kit and it arrive in time for me, it will be 2-4 days late.

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    Thanks for the tips all. I am going to go along with a multimeter and check the following: 12v getting to the compressor. Check the pressure from the compressor. Check valve block exhaust. Continuity of pressure switch - open circuit below 120 psi and closed circuit at or above 140 psi. + or -...

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    Hi They replaced the 2 rear height sensors saying they were at fault. Strange both of them after years of being fine. Immediately after the work was carried out. I have not seen the car for 6-8 weeks due to the distance I am from it. But from memory, it just said EAS Fault and the EAS lights...

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    Hi All Please help if you can. I am at a total loss with this now. 1996 P38. Owned in since approx 2010. It went into an independent specialist for an MOT and passed back in November. Then they fitted Terrafirma side steps. As I picked it up an EAS fault appeared and they have not been able...

    P38A P38 Wheel bearing failure?

    Looking for a second-hand hub at the mo. Will put that on for now and order a Timken or something to put into the original at a later date. Do not seem to be any second-hand ones out there on the usual sites. Do if anybody in the south/southwest has one spare, please let me know.

    P38A P38 Wheel bearing failure?

    OK thanks. I thought as much. Time to think. Will it survive the journey to my favourite 4x4 mechanic who has the kit to do this, or maybe buy a new hub, easier and quicker and I can do it at home..... Unless I take the hub off and take it to him with a new bearing. I will see wht he suggests...

    P38A P38 Wheel bearing failure?

    Hi Quick update. Lifted near-side front and the wheel wobbles badly on the hub. I reckon the bearing is totally shot. Off-side front is fine, with no movement. I take it all is well to replace the bearings or hub on the faulty side only? Just need to work out is it more cost-effective to...

    P38A P38 Wheel bearing failure?

    Hi All Long time no login. Things have changed....... Anyway. I suspect a front wheel bearing has failed on my 1996 P38 4.6 HSE. It's been running really great for ages, just as I said that something needs attention. On a drive yesterday evening and on the way home there was suddenly a...

    P38A Stuck in Low Range Again

    Hi Guys Sorry for the silence on the progress. Here is an update. While waiting for another replacement motor I decided to strip both down clean them up and make 1 good out of the 2. Both had broken plastic/rubber (whatever it was) spacers around the end stop screw. I fitted a small black...

    P38A Stuck in Low Range Again

    Here is an update. The secondhand ratio motor I bought is dead. No movement at all. When I apply volts directly to the motor (either way around) there is no movement, just a small spark. So I guess it is seized. I rotated the TB spindle manually while holding the output shafts (one at a time)...
