Mark the coils as you take them off, it's easy to get one back in the wrong place.

How old are the air springs? Sounds like it's time for a valve block overhaul to me assuming the bags are not leaking. Leaks open and close where the bag folds under so may seal at wade height but leak at normal height. If the sensor arms were...

it was the truth!!! 🤨

What?? You get sun in England 🤯

Don't start with that electric crap pleeeeaaaaase..... 😜

I don't like U bolts on exhausts, much prefer the clamp type or, even better flange joints.

It does sound like you bought a duffer, and used a garage that doesn't do the jobs properly. Both mine are rather reliable. The only exceptions are things that fail on all cars at some point.

I don't think I have made any factually inaccurate statements about my P38 but, members clearly do not like my factual account of my failure experiences. But, I think we've done that topic to death so, let's not go over than ground again. I don't...

True.

You aint been here long. Wait until you see how far off topic we can take it :):cool: oh, and btw, one (i.e. you) is mostly incorrect about lots of things P38.

That quote also works in reverse.

I think we must agree to disagree on this topic. This is my experience vs your opinion.

The EAS is very simple and with diagnostics in the car, most times a fault can be cleared in minutes to get you on your way. It's very cheap to fix but only if you DIY and as Marjon said, if properly overhauled, it rarely fails. Few garages...

I'll let everyone know after suspension surgery next week. I owned a Disco 2 immediately before the P38, so it'll be interesting to compare the experience. The Disco 2 was too slow and I came to really dislike the rear door. The double rear...

I mean, I guess, I'll see what I can do but no promises 🤞🏻

New tank is already on its way to me so as long as the compressor lasts a few more days I'll be golden....(Famous last words I know) 🤣

But thats the point, we all have issues, its a "how do you manage it" that helps others. I faffed for ages trying to ease bolts out with them still shearing off, sometimes just getting rid and starting again is quicker. But would also say a...

Temporary repair with Araldite perhaps before the compressor dies.

The hole is on the top of it unfortunately so it's gotta come off one way or another, did think of just wire brushing it all and welding a patch on but no luck there 😩

Could the tank be brazed or welded in situ? That would save a lot of grief🤔

You should do a thread on the tank to help others with pictures. It's always appropriated 👌😎

We use it on the small engines to maintain as much power as possible. The ethanol content isn't good for standing fuel systems either, as kermistormer says. The kids bikes are carburetor engines so there is no spark timing adjustment unlike...

yes its more of an issue in smaller engines and anything not used often

Haha don't say that, feel like I'm chasing my tail lately with the old girl 🤣 Now onto the accumulation tank for the air suspension as the original one has corroded and has a hole in it. Constant "hiss" while parked for a while. Need a dry day...

Thankyou! Been a long term unregistered reader but thought thanks were in order with this one 🤝🏻

Welcome to Landyzone.

Now you've jinxed it🤣

Literally signed up an account just now to respond this this old thread 👌🏻 You sir have saved me a massive bill even from 3 years in the past 🤣 Carried this out this morning, literally took 15minutes total and now have a fully working steering...

You won't use this Gov web site or E10 ??.

I won't use it either 😏 In fact, we don't use it in our mowers or other small engines like the kids bikes🤷
