How easy should the viscous fan be to turn with a cold engine? I know this will be subjective but I recon that mine is too stiff and is dragged round at belt speed with a cold engine - it certainly shifts some air from the get go..

Almost certainly voiding your insurance. They are very sniffy about professional installations.

A UHF CB band was used for UK CB's but is now defunct and illegal to use. VHS was the crappy old video tape format that won over Betamax and Video2000 formats! ;o) VHF is the radio band that the handheld PMR radios work on. There will be no one radio solution for CB (27mHz band) and PMR (466mHz...

Do not buy this, or any of the other UHF/VHF radios mentioned in these posts, unless you are a licensed ham radio operator as these are solely for the ham bands and would be useless to you.

How flat is flat? Machined surfaces will only seal together where they touch. Liquid under pressure finds very small gaps to go through hence gaskets that deform to touch both surfaces to effect the seal. Slip guages that ring together may be flat enough (before deforming them under bolt...

They crush to form a seal on uneven faces. Re-using a seal that has already been worked is not a good idea generally.

The bevel is to aid the fusing but on thin sections such as 3mm it really is not required. If you are new to welding spend some time on YouTube as there are some really good tutorials that will give you some great tips. Weld some short lengths of plates together like you expect to do on the...

Hardly ever bang my head getting into the drivers side but regularly bash my head on the passengers side - it drives me bonkers that this happens !!!!!!

Just had mine done - Off-side leg replaced with one of these; http://www.brookwell.co.uk/discovery-2-chassis-legs-rear/ Labour from a professional mechanic to remove the fuel tank, put a patch on the near side and weld in the off-side leg, paint and waxoyl the rear chassis was £335 inc. VAT...

28000 revs - that's your problem right there!!! Seriously - almost certainly simple like fuel filter. Change it first and reevaluate. If still problematic then make sure fuel pump is running sweetly (sound is a good give away) then move onto things such as boost modulator valve and oil in the...

Open boot Remove fox Close boot ;)

Sounds a little like a problem I had. Change the fuel filter and look for oil in the ECU red plug. Fuel filter is a reealy good bet and only cost a few quid.

Ha ha - you guys should try running a GT4. Fast when they work and very very good at quickly reducing all your avaiable cash into very very small amounts :( 220 miles out of 65 Litres Tyres every year Super strut suspension seizing every other bloody year at 700 quid a time...

Grand! I put a post on very late last night thanking every one but it did not appear for some reason :confuse:

Thanks very much guys - great info. Should have said but it will be a diesel I will be buying (who can afford to but a petrol nowadays?). Do the later diesels have the plastic intake manifolds too? Thanks once again, Matt

Hi guys, Noob question I know but from the searches I have done I can only find out the post 1999 P38's have 4 wheel TC. Is this from a certain date in 1999 does anyone know or are there other clues to look for other than just the date? Just about to start looking to buy one within the month...

As it says really - Eyup! Just about to buy a P38 or Disco II as funds will allow after selling a GT4. Probably one of the only things to run that is more expensive than a RR or D2 :D Cheers, Matt
