    P38Seb reacted to LR-hobbs's post in the thread P38A P38 exhaust clamp bolt size with Like Like.
    I believe standard are actually M12 heads as I had an M12 socket get stuck on the head of the bolts when it snapped . Obviously this is totally different if the exhaust was changed in the past and someone used different bolts. However M10...

    P38Seb replied to the thread P38A P38 exhaust clamp bolt size.
    Just following up on this - were they M10 bolts? I’ve got to replace my exhaust and the looks of the bolts suggest they’re mostly just holding on wit hopes and dreams.
  • P38Seb
    Very rude. Noticed it and as I pulled myself further under the car it just kept getting bigger.
  • P38Seb
    Yep - they did also find a tiny seep on the compressor where the hoses connect so I’ll get some fresh o-rings at the same time. In other news I was under the car and have found a frankly hilariously sized hole in the y joint in the exhaust..
  • P38Seb
    Found the leak..

    New walnut centre dash is in - didn’t realise the cubby box wasn’t transferable so I’ve got a double din sized hole in there at the moment - as much as it’ll pain some of you I’m going to put a double din headunit in - the benefits of CarPlay are...

    Story of my aircon life that is
  • P38Seb
    Found a groupon offer for aircon recharge at ats. £43 summit. System empty, which I knew, now nice and cold again but it won't last unless the leak that nobody can find has fixed it self.
  • P38Seb
    After doing my heater core orings it brought to light just how brittle my old centre dash piece is - pretty much crumbled putting back together, so I’ve been watching a few walnut dash parts on eBay and a seller sent out an offer, so now I have a...

    I was bored
  • P38Seb
    Coming out of Tesco's this afternoon had to stop to let pedestrians cross. There were 2 oriental lads beaming and smiling at the Rangie. They both got their phones out and started taking pics. Then stood there giving me the thumbs up sign with...

    Range assumes some mileage will be on the back of a recovery truck :rolleyes:
  • P38Seb
    Filled the tank today.. 66.62ltrs, tanks trip said 325mi. Dash said 33.5mpg, the maths doesn’t agree. 22.2 😂

    Update - gave the connector a squirt the other day and yesterday while running the car after doing the heater core o-rings guess what reappeared? The SRS light. I now suspect it’s one of the wires where it enters the connector opposed to the...

    P38Seb reacted to Datatek's post in the thread P38A SRS airbag light illuminated with Like Like.
    Resistor packs to replace side airbags:- One 1.5 ohms 2 watt or 8off 12 Ohm 0.5 watt 1% in parallel.
  • P38Seb
    Don’t suppose you remember what ohms resistor you used do you?

    The side airbag will be well past it's use by date, I fitted a resistor at the connector and removed the airbags

    You underestimate my ability to burn things..
  • P38Seb
    Might grab some trusty Wagos out of the van then make a better fixing. Don’t trust myself not to set the car aflame with a soldering iron.

    P38Seb reacted to pwood999's post in the thread P38A SRS airbag light illuminated with Like Like.
    Rather than wriggling the connector, check the contacts. Could also be the airbag open circuit. You could wire in a suitable resistor instead ?

    P38Seb reacted to pwood999's post in the thread P38A SRS airbag light illuminated with Like Like.
    Assuming the Nanocom is reading the ECU correctly, then surely "right side airbag" is the one in side of the seat back ? Hence the connector under the seat, not the steering wheel clockspring..
  • P38Seb
    Right so quick update - drove back from a cycle to the unit to dump the bike etc and had a quick nose under the seat to check which connector. Moved it slightly and now the SRS light is gone with no message either - so thankfully not the clock...
  • P38Seb
    Oh look, another problem with the P38 - it’s fine, this is all doing wonders for my mental health. I’ve got a somewhat permanent SRS light on the dash now, accompanied by AIRBAG FAULT on the LCD display. Wiggling the yellow cable under the...

    That might be thermostatic expansion valve. It prevents a full regas and when you run it it vents to atmosphere losing gas. Takes a month or two to get low enough to notice. Cost about £27 from an air con place 10 years or so ago. It is on the...
  • P38Seb
    Well I’ve tried to regas it a few times and always ends up empty 2-4 weeks later. I’ve got a VERY early 2001 car so I’m hoping if it is the condenser I can use the cheaper version if it is still that.
  • P38Seb
    I’ve booked the P38 for an aircon diagnostic. Before I start replacing parts I’m hoping they’ll find a leak when they fill it with nitrogen. Will be asking them to look in a few key places as well.
  • P38Seb
    Engine oil and filter change on LHD P38 ready for the MOT. Still got to grease the UJ's, check the rear diff oil and air filter.
  • P38Seb
    For £18 I’ll take the punt and order one then. I removed it a little while ago and couldn’t smell anything burnt however that’s not to say it’s happened and then the smell has faded.
  • P38Seb
    In the ever ongoing repair list - the low range. I’ve bought a replacement transfer motor, plugged it in and left it loose off the transfer case. I still can’t get it to change out of whichever ‘range’ it’s in. Original was in high, replacement...
  • P38Seb
    Greased the rear UJ and prop - front wasn’t accessible so I’ll do that another day. Also replaced the faulty RR, no sorry FL ABS sensor. Just can’t get the P38 out of the unit to check all the lights go out (local car sales parks there cars in...
