I was not offended by it. But have a look at the second comment. Then the third comment, the fourth comment, the fifth comment, the six comment etc. But if you want to call it banter then everything that I have said back to you guys is just...

And for the 3rd time I will find this out with my OBD reader so I'm not worried.

I'm not driving it there to scrap it on this trip, instead I need it to make it all the way there and back without any problems. I have stated repeatedly that this will be a return trip. It may be another few years before I leave England and at...

Speaking from very recent experience, if an suto box runs for any petiod of time with less than the normal amount of fluid in it, it will soon be curtains for the box. And mine had less of a hard time than the OP's one did.

Phil is the guru on these boxes. Whatever he says.

I mentioned oil pressure and water pump for cooling. I don't know if it will be an issue but it is something I would keep an eye on in case it becomes an issue. I'm not a motor engineer, I am a tinkerer and I am well aware that these things are...

If you just going to scarp it why all the bother? Just thrash it down the road at 1500rpm instead of 1200rpm and be done with it.

If your diffs new diffs fit physically. Your torque converter will spend more time out off lockup. That will result in more heat in your atf fluid so a slight decrease in atf fluid lifetime. Then higher cylinder pressures. It will take x amount...

Be Surprised if it makes it the whole way

+1 it's all described in RAVE, but that doesn't detail the ECU strategy. Only how valve-4 works & the stages.

Hes driving it there and scraping it why bother??? J

The auto box is controlled electronically and the firmware can be adapted for many different situations just as it will be different for the petrol engine compared to the diesel.

If you're offended by words like "kiddo", or the other sentences in Mark's initial post, then you definitely need to man up. There was definitely absolutely nothing in there that was offensive, racist, abusive or otherwise !! It's called...

All I can remember is, I had the emegency valves. so when fitted I gave them a little puff to take the shape, and lowered it slowly to make sure it all folded where it should. Then put it up to "about the right" height. then let the system get...

Except the extra load needed to drive that high ratio. You skip over answering anything technically, in all my posts. I try to provide technical data/reasons So if your want Patronizing comments. go speak to yourself in the mirrior. J

So if your gona drive it there and scrap it why bother with any of this bollocks :vb-confused2: J

Tempting fate lad😱😝

Its been so long since I needed mine. But I know the leads and drivers were an issue to get the right 1s. I cant even remember what win version I was running. The leads you have wont work i can be sure of that. But now, if you put new bags, new...

Oh but I do. 😉

And actually that person will now attach some docs he has searched for to help some insight into these questions (yet again). In his next post :). J

Nah, I’ll just remain rent free in your head. Whilst you clearly survive on pay per word. 🙄 You have a good day now. 👍🏽

Last thing to do before stripping the dashboard: Cubby box. Need to buy a 10mm metal drill for that. But first, a beer!

Here is the funny thing, the biggest actual potential problem that I have so far been alerted to is the torque converter lockup. Here is what the ZF5HP guru RRPhil said on another forum: "Some aspects of the driveline control are vehicle speed...

In response to your request for answers, may I present you with exhibit A. 🤣

On the P38, torque convertor lock up is not wheel speed related as far as I can determine but engine revs related. Lock up in third happens at about the same revs as lock up in top but at lower road speed of course and depends on throttle...

And no bloody pictures 🙄😜

By 0800hrs I had washed, waxed, and put resin on her. Also sprayed tyres, wing mirror housings, little bit of black on bumper. Even took the cloth with some spray and went into grooves of rubber seals. She be pretty. 😁🚘💖

Poss the common leak at the back of the engine left hand side as you look at it there is a push fit connector. It leaks down the back of the engine and evaporates so hard to find its a cheap part I always carry 1 in the car.
