    P38A Ups and downs

    Well now you talk about that, the current mech closed the window by "hot wiring" the plug between the motor and the relay box within the door. I am still wondering if a wire got "pinched" when the ex-mech was refitting the central tunel fittings. The switch pack is relatively new, less then 2...

    I have just been given about a meter of some Akron 3mm braided tubing and apart from being 3mm and not 3.2mm it looks OK. Question is, as it is only 3mm, will it do?

    When you say "contact cleaner" what exactly do you mean Wammers?

    Done that, nowt happens. It simply will not go up. All the other windows are working along with the sun-roof.

    By any chance do you know what the proper name for the hose you mention so that I can hunt some down on the Internet as I am in Portugal.

    P38A Ups and downs

    Got a tiny problem. My front left window opens but does not close unless I remove the door panel and connect a battery directly to the "up" wire. Now this started after my so called mechanic had had to remove (and then replace) the central tunel fittings (and the fixtures around the gear stick...

    P38A Rubber tube thingies

    Now I know that I have one which I can see that is split and spewing fuel everywhere. Question is if there are more of them that have split could it be a cause for quite a lot of fuel dripping underneath? It was only yesterday that I finally found time to pop the bonnet and until then and seeing...

    P38A Which Springs?

    You wouldn't have any problems. If it has an MOT it has an MOT and that is what counts. In my opinion all these "news" laws coming in against upgrades as pathetic really, what's the point of an MOT? If you pass it means your car is road worthy. If something like a snorkel is fitted correctly how...

    P38A Which Springs?

    Thanks for all the hijacks lads. Wammers your are quite right regarding the situation in Spain, it's the same over here, snorkels, winches and even under body protection plates are out of the question over here by law, although it all depends on which "MOT" center you go to. But, and this is...

    P38A Which Springs?

    Thanks James, the first "proper" answer. By what you said I gather the kit from Paddocks is Britpart then. I've heard mixed reports about all things Britpart, but as this item doesn't have "moving" parts I guess they should stand up to the test of time. Yes they do, in fact on the page with...

    P38A Which Springs?

    I would just like to here some opinions regarding spring conversion kits and that's all. The EAS debate is too long in the tooth.

    P38A Which Springs?

    I would like to know which spring conversion kit I should go for and which ones to stay clear of. I've seen the following: a P38 Air to Coil Conversion Kit on Paddocks for just under £240.00. Terrafirma TF222HD Conversion Kit Medium Load 1 Inch Lift from Challenger 4x4 for £280.00 P38A ARNOTT...

    P38A Springs

    Ok, I know this subject has been thrashed, but I would like to hear what the P38 is really like on springs from owners who have changed from the EAS. Please, no comments about the EAS system being the better option, we all know the pros and cons. What I am really interested in knowing is what...

    P38A Something Odd!!!

    Nope, as I said in that post, I was going to put in some fuel and I did, in fact the tank is just over the half way mark now. Still needing to know how and if I can bleed the fuel lines.
