    Faded Front Grill

    Go on. Does peanut butter really work? Do you wipe it off after or leave it? What is wrong with crunchy?

    Eas reset via I phone?

    iPhone runs a variant of Mac OSX, which is a descendent of Free BSD, not Linux. There's no reason why someone couldn't write an EAS app for iPhone, and supply a cable, but looks like no one has yet. I was sure Apple said there was an app for everything. How could they have missed this?

    if its an RRC, it would mean there's one thing below the carpet that isn't rusty :)

    p38 4x4 system

    Pretty sure it has open diffs at each end, with a viscous coupling between in the transfer box. so it shouldn't be possible to spin both wheels at one end: the VCU will stop it. if you can really spin both front and not rear (and vice versa) yet your can't easily turn a single lifted wheel, then...

    P38 2.5 DSE FIP Problem?

    You'll have to have a look and see where its coming from - possible that they just forgot to do a fuel hose up again properly.

    cloth to leather

    I think I read somewhere that it is basically as simple as supplying 12v, as long as you have the switches. If you have the seats, can't hurt to try just adding power...

    overheating - thermostat

    I hope you're right, but I'd still be keeping my eye on the temp gauge. I wonder if having a hole in the stat helps bleed it when the water is cold?

    overheating - thermostat

    Stat is not in the head or block I thought on that engine, so hot water not getting to it...

    Low mileage p38 ??

    Having lpg installed on top of 2.5k purchase doesn't really sound such a bargain. I think you'll find several on ebay under 3k with lpg already. Rasheed, not sure your position is sound. If you follow it through, don't we all end up walking because we can't afford to buy and maintain our ideal...

    Low mileage p38 ??

    I wouldn't like to bet on it. best way to know is drive it hard, and do all the other checks mentioned in many threads on here.

    More power 2.5 p38

    I think the fuel leak must be coincidental. just not done up right since you changed the filter?

    p38 backfiring

    If the manifold cracked out laning, did the exhaust get a whack? Maybe something got crushed and you have partial blockage.

    intercooler pipe

    Wouldn't blocked intercooler only cause it to collapse on outlet side? Or do I have my inlet/outlet definitions wrong?

    what diesel tuning box to go for?

    Sounds unworkable to me. I'll put a fiver on there not being an mot check for chipping in next few years.

    Check this out, not bad for a chelsea tractor

    That is amazing. I wonder if my rrc can do that. Is it really more about the car or the driver?
