    EAS one corner down

    Use soapy spray to check for leaks, otherwise a block refurb as it could be a worn out / leaky bit in the EAS block. Mine took 4 hours the other day, but I hadn't had to do one for 5 years, so I was slow.

    P38A Finally have time to be back on forums again

    Hello all, I finally have time on my hands again. I have sad and good news. Sad news (if anyone didn't know) is that Dave3d passed away, and I bought his P38 from his lovely wife. The EAS block now refurbished, compressor to follow once the parts arrive (hopefully today). It has the Arnott bags...

    P38A E85 (85% bioethanol)

    So I heard :rolleyes:

    P38A E85 (85% bioethanol)

    Ahhhhh but then that means you *can* grow your own food. That doesn't fit into the "all food must be imported" Govt agenda's whilst publicly stating "We need food security". Both things can't be true, just as there is no clean end of a ****. But politicians would have us believe it is possible...

    If you change it to "iRange Rover" you've bagged it. A whole different set of label chasers who are happy to pay uber premiums for anything saying "i" in the name :D

    P38A Suspect front diff on the way out

    I'll have a check this week. Back is a bit screwed at the moment, I've trapped a nerve and my leg is not behaving

    P38A Suspect front diff on the way out

    I will this week, I change it every year and there hasn't been any sign of a leak

    P38A Suspect front diff on the way out

    Happy Easter all, Sorry I've been quiet but work has got in the way again. Since the below has happened it's been parked up. It will be a museum fuel tank soon as the fuel was £1.02 a litre when it was filled up :D:D:D It started on a drive back from Warwick a few weeks ago, around 120 mile...

    P38A Anyone know if the M52 in the p38 will run on veg oil (SVO)?

    I removed the filter from the in tank pump. No more problems

    P38A Anyone know if the M52 in the p38 will run on veg oil (SVO)?

    Nope, not illegal at all. I think there is a rule on so many thousand litres of the stuff to be used without paying / declaring duty. I'm sure it works out at 12,000miles a year equivalent. I did 12,000 and a little bit miles in one year in mine when the HP o ring finally let go. Very messy and...

    P38A Anyone know if the M52 in the p38 will run on veg oil (SVO)?

    Until the HP o rings leak.... I know I've done it twice. Budget for a Viton o ring change and all is fine and dandy

    P38A SRS Fault

    Low volts seem to set off random things on different cars Keith! It's like LR outsourced the electrics to Lucas's Italian division :D:rolleyes:

    P38A Limousin and back - no problems for the first time ever

    I can definitely vouch that cheap glow plugs are crap and make a hard start. I changed for Bosch and almost immediate fire up on first turn of the key.

    P38A Aircon won’t blow cold

    It would be "Kwicko's mate" in Oz :D

    P38A It is shut you git!!

    Unfortunately my old gearbox is in Ipswich, I bartered the value against the fitting cost of the HP24. I do however have a spare M51....

    P38A Limousin and back - no problems for the first time ever

    Only 90 minutes from my other house. Napoleon's decree last year put a 1 year block between myself and HQ2, now we have to see what stupidity will come from "Now you need jab 3 / 4 / 5 / 6....."

    P38A Limousin and back - no problems for the first time ever

    It is indeed. But I have learned the hard way, only one VOR on the drive at any one time or my life isn't worth living :D Re-timing is in the queue Keith - weather dependant for us driveway mechanics :)

    P38A Limousin and back - no problems for the first time ever

    Firstly big thanks to Mark for letting me abuse him again. It was fun. That's all I'm saying :cool: Oh and helping me bleed the brakes, swap the pads, rotate the wheels and fit my new Terrafirma shocks. No complaints from SWMBO on the ride quality being worse, she says it feels much better now...
