    CB Antenna Fitting?

    1st things 1st, I'm living in Portugal and my P38 is a locally bought LHD, hence the CD changer on the right and me wanting to fit the antenna on the left rear (if I do not roof fit it) As for the Mag-mount: Simply put, I don't trust them especially when you take into account the cobbles and...

    CB Antenna Fitting?

    Hi Tufty, thanks for that, but that part I know already. It's the actual getting the antenna cable from one end of the car to the other that is bothering me. Thanks for that Nik, but as with Tufty above, that part I know. My problem as said above is how to "lay" the cable from the back to...

    CB Antenna Fitting?

    It happens to the best of us, especially on a Saturday afternoon;) What I would really like is for some sort of diagram (not too technical either) showing what and how to install the antenna cable. If it's things to do under the bonnet I can usually get by with a half decent manual, but when it...

    CB Antenna Fitting?

    Does anybody know which is the best way to "wire up" the cable from the antenna to the CB? I want to fix the antenna to the rear left, just above the light fixtures (more or less within the yellow box in the photo below) and I want to run the cable so that the connector comes out somewhere one...

    P38 Rear anti-roll bar - aftermarket

    I used to feel the back end bounce about a bit/skittish at higher speeds when I had the original bags fitted, but since I fitted the Gen IIIs it has gone away. As the blurb says, the motor-way ride height has firmed up big time compared to what it was like. If you think about it, if the P38s...

    MT tires for a P38

    Dogsbody, I have been using Google in search of some form of 255/65/16 and as I have already said above, the only ones I can find in that size are the Kingpins! In fact, this has been my last port of call in ways of finding "things" out. As for finding something, I think I have as long as I can...

    MT tires for a P38

    You have hit it on the head there Datatek! They are real tough over here when it comes to things like that, but saying that, there are ways. In fact at the mo over here, there is a bit of worry about quite a few things. If the new laws get passed things like raised springs, EAS to Spring...

    MT tires for a P38

    But what about the rims? Will I have to change them? Also, by using the size indicated (235/70/16) would I be within the size range for a P38? In the owners manual they mention 255/65/16 and 255/55/18 and nothing else.

    MT tires for a P38

    UHPs or the likes are on the opposite end of the scale to what I am after. As for the knobblys, I have done some deep searches and the only tyre I have found is the Kingpin Amazon. What I would love to grab is something like the following tyres: Insa Dakar Mt, Grabber MT, B.F. Goodrich...

    MT tires for a P38

    Does anybody know if there any MT tiers out there for a P38. The size I am after is 255/65/16. If not MT, some real aggressive AT tiers would do, well at least more aggressive than Grabber AT2. Any ideas?

    Alarm playing up

    Hi there, I hope someone might be able to help. A friend of mine over here in Portugal has a Discovery 300 Tdi and the few days he has been having nothing but trouble with his alarm system. It takes him ages to manage to get it to lock and activate the system and then, after some time the...

    Winch bumper

    Thanks Wammers. It's just that I have seen in the past some winch bumpers for P38 with A/C and others without A/C. Something about the P38s with an A/C having some cooling rad just below the normal rad and that some winch bumpers might get in it's way. Do you know anything about that?

    Hydraulic / Sprung driving seat

    Hi all, A mate of mine has just bought a 300 but due to a back injury he has he asked me if I could source something that would be less harsh on his back. So, can anyone tell me where I could get one of those hydraulic/sprung seats, like those found in lorries etc? Thanks in advance.

    Springs and bushes

    I'm in Portugal and by what we are hearing on the grape vine, those new laws are heading here and fast. Was thinking about the Arnott II but then after seeing the bit about the Gen III being softer on the high but firmer on the low I decided for the Gen III. I am also thinking off adding...

    Help with a winch bumper please.

    Hi, I am here on behave of a friend of mine who doesn't speak the lingo. He has just bought a Disco 1 300Tdi and he has got it into his head to buy a winch. His question is this, does he need to buy a special front bumper so that he may fit a winch or can he fit a winch to the original one...
