    P38A Adding a valve to manually fill EAS tank and why did my pump fail again?

    I did some testing today, with a T and a Schrader valve on the 6mm pipe direct to the tank. I filled it to 110psi and I was able to raise it straight to the high setting with no fuss. Left a door open, and measured all four corners and let it sit for 4.5 hours. Front and Rear passenger side =...

    P38A Adding a valve to manually fill EAS tank and why did my pump fail again?

    I think I've blown my EAS pump again. Repaired it about 6 months ago, and EAS worked perfectly, but today it refuses to raise. It was working perfectly the other day, and I drove with the tailgate open. EAS was therefore disabled. About 15 minutes into the journey EAS fault message pops up...

    Sometimes manufacturers keep sloppy records. Porsche are terrible for loosing CoCs.

    Range Rover Hybrid - replace batteries with alternator?

    What shocked me (that pun really wasn't intended, but I'm leaving it) was how little current it takes to kill someone. Between 0.1amps and 0.2amps. I'm glad we have a fairly high internal resistance otherwise a toy car with 4xAA batteries could easily be deadly. I don't know if it stands up to...

    P38A Steering wheel decals

    I bought a second hand wheel as I wanted an upgrade so all being done off the car. Already stripped the buttons down. Just waiting for a warm before before shooting 2k clear on it.

    P38A Steering wheel decals

    I'll be doing mine soon. One of the things he says in the video is to lacquer the plastic after putting the decals on. How you would deal with the overspray I have no idea if it's in the car. Without lacquer they will surely just peel off from use and friction. What I don't understand is how...

    P38A What are the plastic lugs on the back of the steering wheel for?

    Last option is to just make one, but what I'll probably do is cut it off the old wheel. That way I can cut off a big chunk of the plastic surround to increase the contact area for gluing.

    P38A What are the plastic lugs on the back of the steering wheel for?

    If anybody has a scrap steering wheel, I'd be grateful if you could try prying the plastic thing off, and tell me whether it popped off, or smashed broke apart.

    P38A What are the plastic lugs on the back of the steering wheel for?

    That's what I assume they are for. Not finished restoring it yet so not pulled the old wheel to confirm.

    P38A What are the plastic lugs on the back of the steering wheel for?

    I'm restoring a steering wheel to replace my old tired one. The one I have has a plastic lug missing as shown in the image. When I bought it, I was planning on just swapping the whole black back piece from my old wheel, but I can't for the life of me get it off. Do I need this plastic lug that...

    Allow long term users to modify post titles.

    Way too time consuming based on how many posts are wrong and would just generate loads of noise for the mods to deal with. If you've ever used stack exchange forums they are managed by site users and it works really well.

    Allow long term users to modify post titles.

    I spend a lot of my time in the Range Rover section and there's loads of posts where the title doesn't include the car type, e.g. L322, P38 etc. My mild OCD would love to occasionally fix them all so I don't keep entering a post I actually don't care about. Could long term users be given the...

    P38A Heater matrix o-ring replacement guide

    I wonder if Audi ever wonder why they are selling so many heater cores? They may think it's a dodgy design they have.

    Finding source for vibration/lump at idle

    Has it always had a lumpy idle in your ownership. Wondering if the previous owner fitted uprated high lift cams. My rover V8 is lumpy at idle die to the cam.

    P38A Blend motors installed - heating fixed.

    I did my passenger side the other week. Removed the airbag, drilled a hole to unscrew the duct, got angry with the air duct and finally got it out of the way. Cut the cable and re-solders the potentiometer. Reattached with a choc block and works fine now. Planning on doing the drivers side soon...

    P38A Should I put a modern touch screen radio in my car? [. . . . and other questions]

    As I understand, with the android units you can tell it what the steering wheel buttons are so they can work with any steering button on any car. Unless I'm missing somehting. As for line out, I've not figured this out yet, but sounds quality is quite low on my priorities. I think I'm unusual...
