Works for me?

Sure it is in the TDC hole? A skipped tooth would cause issues. The cam is set with a 12 thou spacer when tightening the cam stretch bolt. 10 mm is way too much.

I’d ideally avoid them as well. I don’t plan on getting rid of the P38 until the government makes it illegal to drive them - I’ve invested far too much money and blood to pass it on. I’ll take a look at the Dunlops though. Hopefully they’ll last...

I avoid Autodoc if possible. Arnott Gen 2 are good if you plan on keeping the car long term. They have been on my RHD P38 for around 14 years and still look like new. I got them from P38 Spares, they were on special offer at the time and not...

Thing is I did research it and have given you info as to this may be an issue, I have the part numbers and sizes for both diffs and the 2010 onwards are different. So you are just thinking I don’t know and am guessing, when actually you are just...

BTW, P22

Edited & sorted. Now fix your post !! :handbag:

I couldn’t get in earlier. But some of those responses are very similar to what we have seen here. A guy who has done it to 3 different vehicles with 3 posts 🤔. Gear ratio charts (posted here) got a different response. Fuel consumption...

Ah so that is why you never use one word when ten will do :rolleyes:

Hang on - will check my spare heater box in the garage. Levers fully towards driver, air goes through the heater matrix. Fully towards engine cooled air bypasses matrix.

I have nothing against you. Didn't realise you could not type on your device ?

It's simply not gramatically correct, so the sentence does not mean anything. The intent might be correct, so write it properly, or do what other non natives do and appologise for their English upfront.

No you are now assuming where the bolts in question are. J

Well you did on there. Don’t jump in with 2 feet before reading what’s written. J

No you wouldn’t because it’s not the same bolts in the rear diff as the front. So your idea of ridiculous seems like you would be left on the side of the road to me. J

and btw, we are now on P21 & counting :handbag:

er no it's not a technical response, it is gibbersh English. Sounds like it came from a Chinese translation.

And I have not given any technical info on there have I? J

Actually they would be too short to actually go in and do up. J

Can we see this proof? J

There is only 1 output shaft from any gearbox. They change to 4wd drive with that fancy thing called a transfer box. There are many auto boxes used in 2 or 4 wd format. Your arguments show you shouldn’t be allowed to pickup a spanner. J

Roll on P21 . . . . :handbag:

I'm sure it will boil for a while yet !!

It could leave you on the side of the road trying to change your diffs on a car that you need, so I feel it is quite relevant. Not that you ever did start having any technical discussion. J

Although this is fun I am seriously considering switching off notification to this thread as I seriously have better things to do than cross swords, or handbags, with this guy with a massive ego problem. Keep on trucking with it peeps as I will...

Did you respond to me technically? And you haven’t contributed to anything technical. J

So one out of three was actually an SUV? Well done! and of course the BMW you mentioned is exactly like a RR, same weight, 4 wheel drive etc etc. Yep your apples still do look much like oranges to me. So you "got me" on the Mercedes M class...
