You talk about ride and fuel economy and yet you want to increase weight by fitting unnecessary steering gear and silly tyres both of which will do nothing for fuel economy. The ride on the P38 as standard is among the best I have experienced... -

I had 32s (“) on my p38. They won’t fit on as standard - no chance don’t even try it. Trust me It gears down and speedo reads wrong. You get used to it as it’s only few mph here and there until you get well over 100. Don’t help your mpg i...

It'd be interesting to see the results. I think correct pressures and road tyres (rather than some chunky A/T tread things) would have the most impact though.

I think you will have trouble with the tyres rubbing the wing when turning with the car at normal height . also i think you will have trouble fitting the spare in the well in the back of the car

If the primary concern is mpg then get a fiesta? If you're using it because nothing else will do the job.. your worrying about 1 or 2 mpg???

You’ll likely drop a few MPG - yes they’ve got a larger diameter so distance covered per rotation will be greater.. but they’ll weigh more. More mass, more energy required to rotate.

Will they? It will take more effort to get up to speed which will take slightly more fool

I found the 255/65r16 comfy enough. I don't think taller tyres will help much with fool economy

https://tiresize.com/comparison/ This can be quite a good site to see size differences and speed changes. Most speedos over read your actual speed, so indicated 60mph could be actually be 57mph for instance. Provided you don’t go too far bigger...

They will be interested if they catch you doing 63 in a 60!!! They will throw the book at you

Good point If the standard is 255/65R16 and that's what the car expects then the speedo will read ~60 at ~65mph

Speedo may be wrong and technically they may be illegal as not homologated for the vehicle. Not much notice is taken of these things in the UK, but it may affect your insurance.

Always undo the filler plug first is good practice. Don’t wanna drop it just to find out filler won’t come out for some reason.

thank you very much. i will use the Hypoid Gear Oil (GL4/5) TDL SAE 75W-90, as it is available from me. unfortunately i cannot order Smith & Allan products. all on my own risk! Thank you!

If you're concerned, go for exactly what RAVE demands. Texaco Multigear 75W 90R. You can still buy it. https://texacopolska.pl/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/MULTIGEAR-75W-90-R-PDS.pdf Again, I think you're over thinking this. It's a very...

A 4 year old thread ressurected .... You use a 75W90 oil. Wether is has Molybdenum in it or not will make little to who-ha of a difference. Semi synth or fully synth, it doesn't matter it's in a differential of a road car in the UK. If you were...

Good to know , being brand new to the P38 there is a lot to learn.

One arm is slightly longer than the other, they look identical but are not. If you look at the caps covering the wiper arm nuts, there is a little slot you use to ping them out with a thin flat blade screwdriver.

Plenum is the chamber under the plastic

If I ever get round to doing this upgrade and if I remember ofcourse il report back. I'm unfamiliar with the word plenum? Is that the plastic panel under the outside of my windscreen?

Thank you! I have now ordered 10 litres. I hope that was the right decision.
