    P38 V8 4.0 2002 Passenger side airbag resistance ?

    Thanks @Datatek. That's really helpful. As I'm putting in a second hand ECU (so can't be 100% sure it's ok despite assurances) it's a bit chicken and egg as I guess both the ECU and resistor need to be right for the light to go off. I read the code with Lynx which only says 'front impact...

    P38 V8 4.0 2002 Passenger side airbag resistance ?

    Hi Everyone, My passenger side airbag deployed after the prop shaft broke. I have the MOT soon so need to get rid of the SRS light and airbag fault. I have ordered a used SRS ECU and plan to put a resistor on the airbag connector rather than replace the airbag. If anyone knows the correct...

    P38 2002 v8 airbag ecu replacment - which one???

    Thanks as always for the advice @Datatek. I was hoping to avoid having to do the job twice or have the car out of action whilst tracking down a replacement ecu. I was sort of hoping there would be some logic to which ecu was in each vehicle ;)

    P38 - Supporting gearbox when removing x member

    @Grrrrrr Thanks again. What I think is great about this forum is that the advice you get stops what seems like a walk in the park turning into a disaster. Thanks again.

    P38 - Supporting gearbox when removing x member

    @aj1954 Cheers. I've been looking everywhere for a spilt system like you describe but can't find one in the sensible £££s. I would love the Rimmer Sports as did see those but that would result in divorce through financial mismanagement rather than demolishing the gearbox :):):)

    P38 - Supporting gearbox when removing x member

    Thanks @Datatek that makes sense. Just changed Rad so could do with avoiding that! By supporting with the jack will it not keep the gearbox assembly at the same height and so no pivot though ?

    P38 - Supporting gearbox when removing x member

    Hi, I need to replace the exhaust including cats, downpipe and y-pipe on my wife’s P38 v8 2002. Obviously need to remove cross member to do this but it is a vehicle I’m not familiar with. Having googled and read many forums there doesn’t seem to be a consensus on where to support the gearbox...

    Changing cats / y-pipe (P38)

    Thanks again that’s fantastic. Do you have a link to where I can download Rave as have tried what feels like like a thousand links which are either extinct or don’t work? Really appreciate the help.

    Changing cats / y-pipe (P38)

    Thanks @pwood999. I will be careful which one I buy ! When it comes to supporting the gearbox and transfer box how would I do that with a normal jack? Specifically where exactly would I place it , e.g. in front of or behind the crossmember? I assume I need to place wood between the jack and...

    Changing cats / y-pipe (P38)

    I have a P38 V8 2002 and want to change the exhaust system. I was hoping to avoid changing the y-pipe but there is a bad leak from the join with the silencer. I read on google that some people had managed to do this without removing the cross member supporting the transmission. Looking at it I...

    P38 4.0L 2002 fan direction ?

    Thanks for all the advice everyone. Good news got the thing lose just needed a bigger hammer :) One last question when putting the fan back on does anyone worry about torque or is it just a case of doing up nice and tight ??

    P38 4.0L 2002 fan direction ?

    Thanks @pwood999. I was thinking of getting one but they all seemed to have a longish lead time ( I really need to get her back on the road) so will have a bash (literally) at it tonight. Have seen a few videos using a long screwdriver to hold the water pulley so will give that a go. If none of...
