In the ever so ongoing list of maintenance required for the old boy, the current Intercooler hose has gotten quite maliable and near the intercooler, quite oily. The fact I can quite easily squeeze the hose doesn’t bode well for when it’s under any boost pressure, I’m assuming it’ll be...

Stopped off at Coop to grab some lunch, go to pull out on the main road and I can’t turn the steering wheel. Great. So some context: After the MOT, the next day I was driving home from work and noticed a slight rattle/scrape noise occasionally. Wasn’t present yesterday at all. This morning I...

Hi all, when I replaced the ABS sensor the other week, a friend had his SnapOn diag tool hooked up checking for a few other issues (glow plugs being one), but it did show up saying the battery voltage was low at 10.7v. The battery has been in there a 🤷‍♂️ amount of time, so probably worth...

I’ve just replaced the viscous fan on the P38. Yet the load roar noise is still present, and the fan appears to be running at full chat even when cold. There’s a LOT of air being blown by the fan. I let the engine get up to temp and it’s still there and loud. Is it likely a faulty fan or am I...

So while driving on Somerset’s wonderfully maintained roads driving too and from work, the tarmac is in a rough state - no major potholes but worn tarmac. After approximately 15 minutes of driving I get a high pitched squeak, it isn’t a regular or consistent noise but appears as I hit a patch...

Morning everyone. In my ever continuing quest to make this 160,000 mile P38 a somewhat presentable example my attention has now turned to my tail lights, as you can see in the attached image there’s some filth settled to the base of the light. It’s not external as I’ve tried wiping it off to...

Hopefully you wonderful people can help me out here. I’ve started to get a drip from the centre light. From the reading I’ve done it’s either the sunroof seals letting water in, or the drains blocked. Or both. I’ve going to give clearing the drains out a go this evening, but in the event it’s...

Evening all, In the ever continuing journey with the P38 I’ve got another problem/issue/querk I’m stumped with. Engine is the 2.5D to help work out. When the engine is cold, it is unbelievably loud - almost like a beating has gone, but once the engine is warm, almost exactly as the needle...

Evening all, on Saturday I finally got around to get the car in the air and changed out all 4 shocks for some TerraFirma ones. While under there I did notice some corrosion and surface rust. Once the major corrosion is sorted and I’ve wire brushed off the surface rust, what’s the better options...

On the way back from a shopping trip we stopped by a second hand landy dealership and I got sidetracked looking at a couple of the P38s they had there.. Looked in the interior of one them and saw this? (See attached image) Anyone know what it is/from? Ta in advance all!

Evening all, you were incredibly helpful last time I posted so I hope you can help again. My HEVAC screen has an annoying bulb issue. Most of the time it doesn’t illuminate, yet at seemingly random times it’ll light up - such as a trip to Bristol it lit up as I parked up, but hasn’t since, it...

I’ve had my P38 named Big Phil for just over a year now and I’m slowly getting everything sorted to hopefully take it to some shows in the near future. I‘m now looking to get the HEVAC issues I’m facing sorted and I’ve got the book symbol on the display (when I can actually see the screen -...
