Do you mean a straight line from the exhaust manifold flange to the mid muffler flange?

I have a single-pipe exhaust pipe, from the gearbox support beam all the way back to the last silencer. (TA model series). The front pipe is two-branched, which is combined into one with a flange connection. The question is: What would be the right replacement front pipe with catalytic...

I haven't driven into the water in the way mentioned. I don't know about the previous ones. They have a stamp 2 96 which could be the date of manufacture? They may have been damaged during this time. The noise is a kind of rattling, as if a metal plate is loose. With a stethoscope, it is heard...

Addition to the previous one: The catalytic converter has the identification ESR2580, which I can only find on some old ones that have been cut off.

Greetings from Jämsä! Now that summer has come again, it's time to do some repairs on my RR p38 Gems -97 car. There are a few tasks on the list: Door lock, odometer reading, flap housing adjustment, cruise control operation, rear door inner handle, etc. First of all, I would like to ask about...

I would like to wish all forum users a very Merry Christmas and as few bugs as possible for 2025. I hope the translation is correct... B.R. erkki

Now this conversation has gone wrong. I recently had a medical check-up for my driver's license (ABCE) because I have that big E. The check-up included an extensive eye exam, which resulted in excellent night vision. So I don't need the suggested eye doctor. I'm still looking into the...

The fact is that the P38 headlights are from the early 1980s. Especially the low beams are on par with any car of that time. The high beams have 4 bulbs, which is quite good. However, the question is about the color of the light. The LED lights have a bright white 6000K, which illuminates even...

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this question. I'll leave this topic now that the battery is working again. Another question about LED lights: I think they are very necessary here in the Nordic countries. Especially the low beams need improvement when driving on dark roads in the rain...

Ok, it gives a power of 0.064 W, which is not much. This power does not drain the battery in a few days. But as already mentioned, the situation with BeCM may be different if it is operational. I am sorry that I did not measure the consumption when my car had the RF receiver connected and the...

More about the measurement: I saw a digital ammeter on an online store that you can put directly in place of the fuse. The price of the meter was about 20€. If the accuracy of the meter is within reasonable limits, it could be a handy device...

I went to check the battery voltage now that the car hasn't been driven since my last post. The reading was 12.4V, which I think is reasonable. The main thing seems to be: the RF receiver was the cause of the battery drain. Same as many other readers. I will never connect it again. Or as they...

Speaking of door locks, now that I've removed the RF receiver completely, is it no longer possible for the locks to operate unintentionally via radio waves, regardless of frequency? If the "dancing" continues, is there something wrong with the microswitches in the lock?

Thanks for the good instructions! I'll save it. Interim information: The battery voltage has not dropped at all in 24 hours.
