Incorrect There are two potentiometers on the back of the gauge cluster that are used to calibrate the speedo. They where used on the police cars to get an accurate speedo. They only calibrate the speedo itself though, so your distance...

There is almost no diffrence in steering and turning circle. High speed cornering is worse but are you going to race tracks in your P38? There is a huge diffrence in off road performance between stock and the 235/85R16

Im going to have to disagree with this. We have a P38 on stock air suspension thats on 235/85R16 and they fit. They do touch very slightly but not nearly enough to warrant trimming. On the rear axle under full compression they touch slightly on...

makes no difference theres no yellow metal in the diffs

Ok so you'll need a new hvac unit as a minimum.. unless you diy it

I think you're over thinking this. Any oil you can buy today will exceed ACEA A2:96. As the numbers go up the old spec is superceeded. Your Mobil Super is A3.... one better than A2. So long as it's 10w/40 you'll be fine. It's an ancient V8...

I haven't got asbestos fingers either, it's a very quick squeeze to avoid 2nd degree burns to my fingertips 😆

Yeah if you didnt put the engine under load and the cap hadnt vented coolant yet i dont think you would have done damage. If you just idling your cylinder temps wont be very much above coolant temps. But on the other hand if you have 118deg...

May she be sealed forever!

did you use land rover hoover special tool H00V-1?

Not good to mix different types, stick to semi synthetic or full synthetic but for a small top up it's not going to hurt. I now use 10W40.

A reverse flush may help? You don't want to kill it though

Your getting advice from people who have done this job before, I told you what to do based on what you showed in the picture and I drew a lovely nob on it for you. The answer was there. The best way for someone to learn, is to do this...

Did you follow the RAVE fill procedure ? If not, then you will almost certainly have an airlock. Are you getting flow through the small pipe from the radiator to the coolant tank ? Also did you clear it before starting the fill ? As others...

I’ve never had a problem by just following the RAVE procedure. Squishing the top hose can help certainly. Repeatedly to force coolant about. It can help burp it I’ve heard. Also giving it a good rev to really set the coolant moving. Also the...

where was the needle on the temp gauge? thats WAY WAY too hot for a rv8

The question is how do you tell? They taste different, obviously.

If it tastes weird - it’s coolant 🤣

That sounds like it comes from personal expierence?

You can put cardboard down so if small drip dries you can still see it. Just make sure it’s coolant marks not cats pi**

shrunken with age? sounds a bit like me LOL.

get a bar in the slot underneath and lever it a bit👍

If things start to go a bit squirly it’s often best to go and have a cup of tea and/or leave it till tomorrow. Trust me I’m an eggspurt at snapping things that are generally indestructible. Even forced a bolt once but instead of the bolt shearing...

Brim to brim or from the dash read out? If the latter, enjoy your dream.

In all fairness we don’t how steep a slope he’s going down and wether that’s in neutral with windward

5 years since the last post wow don't expect many replies :vb-groan2:

Have you seen how old this thread is? I think someone was going for the resurrection record.

M-way cruising or around town?? What`s wrong with your fuel consumption? Not consuming enough?

Yes i have the proper tool, makes it a lot easier, its quite a weighty lump.

Once you get that other bush off there clean it all up with no traces of the old rubber👍
