    P38A One for you coolant experts...

    Dear all - happy new year! Haven't been on the forum much apart from scouring for a 109 series due to a totally reliable P38! That never lasts does it.... Last year I changed the O rings just above the transmission tunnel and have enjoyed no coolant loss and dry carpets. Recently I have been...

    P38 Rear Bumper

    I have the exact same problem. Took my bumper off today to inspect it as I suspected the metalwork underneath was in a sorry state. This is what I found! The mounting points have completely rusted out. I think it was only muck holding it on. I think I'll have to take it to a specialist to get...

    P38A Mould in rear lights?

    For anyone interested I took these off and the bottom is very poorly sealed by design. I soaked the bottom of the lights in hot water for an hour and aggravated the road muck with small flexi-brush. Shifted nicely - very simple job

    P38A Mould in rear lights?

    Before I start taking things apart, do the P38 rear light units disassemble so that I can clean out this mould or are they fairly sealed/inaccessible? Any advice welcome Josh

    P38A New drag link fitted - steering off centre

    hi all Following having a new drag link assy fitted (not by me) my steering wheel is off centre. Is this something that is simple to put right? I.e by loosening parts of the Assyrian, shifting the wheel and re-tightening? Cheers Josh

    Classic Does this represent good value?!

    There are a few lhd 3dr examples surfacing from dry climates. I can't help feeling they represent great value if the body/chassis checks out. What do people think? The lhd wouldn't bother me, though I reckon I would convert to V8 after a while...

    P38A I rings done. Coolant still appearing....

    Hi all After a jubilant few weeks following mission O ring, I have coolant in the foot well again. When I did the job I was sure to check it had all sealed properly again etc. Could there be any other connection this is seeping from? Weird thing is, it seems to collect right by the door...

    P38A Can you take your car to another MOT station if it fails?

    Thanks for all the advice guys. The car totally failed on emissions - so badly I simply don't understand how it passed the year before. I had the whole system replaced with new (non OEM) including 2 replacement manifolds from a breakers as the old ones were so warped. A costly pre Christmas...

    P38A Can you take your car to another MOT station if it fails?

    And it's has a mix of short and long runs but I don't think its something a decent run will sort. Imagine the cats are feeling their 16 years!!
