I made these bleed, are there any others?

If the brake lines to the back have never been changed, replace them as they will be rusty where you can not see them they are atleast 20years old, here are some pics of mine they were not leaking but crumbled when you tried to move the pipes

Thanks for the tip, I'll check the rear lines. So you're telling me that rebuilt calipers often don't work? when I did it they seemed to slide well and there are no leaks. Do you recommend I get new ones?

Fair point about the springs, check the rear brake lines between the body and the chassis, especially above the cross member above the rear axle. They do give up in that area👍 As for a front brake différence, the calipers may just be passed...

I don't want to talk about the reliability issue that has been talked about a lot in every part of the planet. I found the car converted to coil springs and I will leave it like that because I don't like air suspensions, I never liked them on...

Paint them orange they’ll be fine 😇

are you referring to the springs?

What is going on there🤯

This problem needs sorting as well. Might as well add it to the list !!

Temperature is OK, 95 is optimum.

Hello everyone, unfortunately I have been very busy lately and have dedicated less time to the Rangie, the work has dragged on but I am moving forward. I have tackled the tedious task of replacing the ball joints along with the two steering rods...

don't worry about the stains, just check that it is flat. This is the base of my 2.5 dt when I closed it, it has stains but it was perfectly flat and does not leak

Update: got some petrol and gave it a good scrubbing, but still looking a bit stained. Might have to pick up some scotchbrite pads. Image:

Don't worry about the staining, as long as it's not raised or dented but flat and checked with a straight edge to be found good you can rebuild it. 👍 If you start scrubbing and remove any metal at all you'll run the risk of a burn through or...

the remote station installed gives power to the motor that opens and closes, then the cdl does the rest. so as you say, it makes the becm believe that someone is inside and blocks the lock... if you have the immobilizer active it is a...

The locking works because triggering the button microswitch (i.e. CDL switch) makes the BECM thinks you're inside the car & want all the doors to lock. Conversely when unlocking using the button, the mod makes the BECM think you want to unlock...

The country setting does lots of things. In the USA, for security reasons, on many cars only the drivers door unlocks on a single FOB press, not sure if that applies to the P38 as I have never tried it but worth a look.

this is true, microswitches must always be in good condition. I opened, cleaned, lubricated and closed the locks with a thin layer of waterproof grease along the gasket, I hope it helps keep away humidity which is the worst enemy of microswitches...

you're right, I can't find it now, I followed the one from the Work on P38 channel, but I'll put this one from CLT Rovers which follows the same method.with immobilizer active it can cause problems as the guy wrote in description. I deactivated...

And a link to the YouTube video would be good

Now that might be a very useful post if Huf stop supplying replacement keys and Les from Classic Rides North Wales pops his clogs.

I tried in two electronics stores but they seem to be impossible to find, I didn't want to wait 15 days from aliexpress so I opened the broken multimeter and recycled it

Any Zebra strip, loads on AliExpress, just need the correct dimensions but you cannot buy just one. I'm planning on buying 10 soon.

Check the Pollen filter covers as said, if the foam has gone flat or has broken up it will let water into the filters and leak down through the heater motor. Pour the water on the front windshield and pull the filters out afterwards. If they are...

AN stands for army navy. Its a very universal usage fitting style developed by the americans in like 1930 i think to be field serviceable, reusable and not need any special tools to assemble. Most of the stuff is rated upto 1000psi and 260 deg...

So this whole story started with my engine oil cooler lines starting to weep oil where the rubber joins to the steel hoses. I had some AN8 bungs welded onto my engine and gearbox oil coolers and fitting some very nice looking lines. Then it kinda...

any zebra stripe is fine but it must have the right height. the one he had was long and high, I cut it with a long cutter blade, with a single stroke like a guillotine, if I remember correctly I found the right setting with 7mm of height.

For the zebra strip, I was thinking to myself this morning... can you use any zebra strip🤔 but then you have done🤔👍

Hi everyone, I still have to unlock the brake calipers, change discs and pads and bleed, but since I have little time these days and the weather is bad, I took advantage to do some light work. On the advice of user @RobertZ , I checked the FIP...

I used an Ezibleed kit with the spare wheel when I changed the modulator. I ended up pushing 3 litres of brake fluid through its bleed nipple before bubbles stopped coming out. After that I just bled as per RAVE.
