After changing my ball joints my abs light is on and its says ABS fault followed by traction failure on message centre. When i was smacking the hell out of the ball joint my hammer slipped and has cracked a the plastic on the sensor but the wires inside all seem fine with no brakes. I also...

Hi guys thanks for replies. Just to clarify my surname is Gronow hence the plate. My usual plate is the same font but no spaces but for MOT i put those plates on with the space after the 2. Any way today was a dream, the other side came out almost instantly and after putting the new balljoint...

Book a week off work buy a halfords pro tool kit and sort it yourself plenty of help on here. Does sound like BHG though. Especially the rusty spark plug. Check them all, the chances of both banks going is low so find out for sure which bank is blown and fix that one. YOu are supposed to change...

Its called a P38 because it was built in shed 38 in solihull plant and it was supposed to be named Pegasus but because it was a secret before the car was released the engineers referred to it as the P38....the name stuck (my useless bit of trivia for the day)

Right well i'll start from the start......... Drove my RR from Elgin north Scotland to Gloucester last month as i was sent on a month long course. When i got there my caliper was siezed on and the journey had used 2 nearly new pads in 510 miles. I sorted that the next day and left the family...

Thanks for replies, the top mount looks quite rotton to be honest but i can get that sorted when i get home. I want to get the Shock done before i drive home though.

After a bit of slightly enthusiastic off roading in my P38 :D it developed a knock and wallowing all of the place i kind of suspected the damper so got underneath it with the mrs jumping up and down on the tow bar only to see the damper completely snapped from its bush mounting. :eek: This is...

When you buy the pads you buy a fitting kit which is basically 4 new bolts. Cost about 99p i think for all 4. These are the bolts that hold the Piston assembly to the caliper carrier. Yes the old ones will be rotton and the sliders may well be stuck. Mine was completely stuck had to get a oxy...

Hi mate thanks for reply i neglected to mention its a P38 4.0. The misfire is only on LPG so that rules out a petrol injection problem. There is no misfire on petrol at all runs sweet but LPG its a dog. I checked it at night and sure enough a couple of the leads were arcing to the engine block...

Hi guys i've got some new leads coming this afternoon to hopefully cure my misfire. Do i have to remove the plenums to get to the coil or can it be done withouth removing them?? If you do have to remove them then how do you do it?? Ive looked on RAVE but can't find anything about plenum...

If i had a car that didn't need any "involvement" to make it work i'd get bored. For example I quite like it when my lpg starts giving the occasional cough as it means i can spend a couple of hours stripping it, cleaning it and making it work again. Thats why i bought the P38. Now man up a bit...

Hey thanks for reply, the aircraft thing does sound plausable as there are about 15 Tornados parked 50 feet away, also my car is 100 ft from the active runway so maybe it is from their radar. I may look into replacing the RF reciever then.....i'll have a search around the forum, see what its...

No deffo no spillages (dont allow food and drink in the car lol) i've just pent a few hours valeting inside and out and can't find anything amiss,its also not done it again so god knws what it was. Oh well thanks for all help guys.

i didnt look at dash to be honest i just unlocked it then locked it and went back to work, a car had been parked next to it but was gone when this happened so i wondered if someone bashed it with their door or something. Everything working perfectly fine now though. Thanks for reply.

Leave it overnight then in the morning when cold open the header tank cap. If theres more than a little hiss as you undo it then you may have a problem with the head/head gasket. Remember a head gasket can fail accross a cylinder/coolan channel so you don't always get oil contamination...

I folks Was in work yesterday and walked through one of our hangars and caught a glimpse of my car in the car park with indicators on constant (not flashing just on) It was about 11pm so was dark i went over unlocked it then locked it and its normal again. Is this because the alarm has gone...

^^^^ do that!! Good advice there....i've rebuilt countless engines from lawnmowers to v6 race engines. A mates timing belt went on a car worth about 100 quid and he asked me to sort it cheap. It needed 2 new valves and to save money the only parts i replaced was the HG and the 2 bent...

Well mines got 142,000 miles and i run it on LPG every day. Still runs like a dream but it has been impeccably serviced by LR. I've only owned it for 2 weeks but have already done loads of miles and its great so far.

well i'd say the maf is fine then

Sometimes you get lumpy idle when the maf fails. Best way to diagnose is to disconnect the maf and the ECU will use a default fueling setting, if it runs ok with maf disconnected then you know it was your maf at fault. This has worked on a couple of my mates cars at work after they have spent...
