Harmonic balancer or torsional vibration damper is the complete crank pulley assembly in the front of the engine that drives all the belts. it is a 2 piece affair that has the inner hub seperated from the outer pulley by a thin section of bonded rubber. Without this device the engine will...

With regard to 'Slick50' if you go to thier website there are no more claims of making your engine perform better or last longer. The reason is that they were fined $20M for false claims over thier product. The only claims they make know are that it prevents friction and heat, and considering...

The problem is 'good shocks' are different things to different people. I'm not trying to get sports car handling I just wan't a solid comfortable ride. So I'm wondereing if OEs will be the best bet. I don't know if this is typical, but I feel the rear axle is a little bit more lively than the...

I doubt it. but for about £15.00 you can get a lead and download free software that will do the job if it is a resetable fault. You will need a PC with a serial connector or a USB to serial port. Ebay is your place. And as a subnote I would not disconnect the baterry unless you have to, you...

Have you ruled out the harmonic Balancer?

I did look on ebay but at the moment they are 6 quid short of £400. I know they are good but you have to draw the line somewhere on a £3000 car.

I didn't here good stories about the Britpart so wasn't considering them. May do, to do some research.

Not wanting to spend £100 a corner for Koni shocks it looks like the easily available alternatives are Pro Comp ES9000 or Monroe. What experience do people have with these, and which one to go for. Ride comfort is important and the suspension is not going to get smashed about off road Karl

I have a bit more vibration than i think I should have and i'm starting to think it may the the Harminic Damper although i havn't confirmed it yet. I

I wasn't intending to modify anything, I just wanted to know if Land Rover supplied an alternative to the swan neck.

Another reason could be that your timing has gone way retrded

what are these 18"

Well done that's all it was loose nut

98 P38 Can the swan neck be replaced with a standard flange mount towball design. I don't want to replace the whole towbar, just the removable extension. And if the answer is yes, anyone got one for sale or want to do a swap Karl

Yep, the electrics really are a pile of s..t. As a result permenant damage so far seems to be the rear wiper, the drive has gone all limp so its just hanging down vertical. I think it has damaged the drive or motor by running on a dry surface. That was another item that ran of it's own accord...

Yeah, i'd guessed that was the source of most of the problems. Like most P38s my aircon doesn't work

I accidentally left the sunroof open whilst raining for about 4 hours First noticed when headlights came on while on the drive. Result was the following list Initially could not start and no lights on dashboard, after drying out withe a fan heater and dehumidifier i got it started and left...

Got any pictures and are they OK on tarmac, comfort noise etc

I think every manufacturer quotes something like 1000/litre so that they don't have to replace engines under warranty if they wear prematurely. But i would consider a 'GOOD' engine should never use that much.
