    Yes 10 studs per head, so 20 total. Do shop around just in case. Realsteel were cheapest genuine Arp when I bought mine a few years back, but you never know !

    Both mine have one…… I think.

    We used petrol on a TD4 cooler with no problems. A thick rubber glove on each end after putting in about a pint of petrol, and lots of shaking it around. Then drained it & did it again. Finally left it upright in the sunshine to dry out...

    Just make sure the AI doesn't add something for it's own purposes !!

    Exactly. A full HG kit is around £100 depending what you buy. Adding ARP studs & maybe a selection of other nuts & bolts is another £200. At least 10 times less than liners & essentially a full rebuild. If the liners are slipping they...

    There's several things that will stop EASunlock talking to the car. 1) As Keith pointed out above, the USB-Serial driver install needs to be done in the correct sequence. you must uninstall the Microsoft windows driver first. (see below) 2)...

    This one worked for me

    I wondered that !!

    How much pressure ? The tank should generally be from 120-140psi when it's full. If the compressor is tired (usually from feeding a leak somewhere), the tank will never fill, and you will get apparently random faults as the ECU tries to...

    How does your fan mod spin the AC fans if you have removed them ?

    Remember many of the nuts & bolts on the V8 heads & block are Imperial due to it's USA origin, so always check. The rest of the P38 is metric.

    When I rebuilt one of mine, I found the prev owner had overtightened the stretch bolts & damaged the block threads. Got the block helicoiled, and used Arp Studs. Much easier to torque the heads properly. The only downside is the cost is...

    As said above. unlike the K-series no cambelt to worry about, so easier.

    Green P38 just passed MOT for another year with no advisories :):):)

    Make sure the garage adheres to the LR specs. If you do need to have the heads skimmed, make sure they do both the block & inlet faces by the same amount. This will ensure the inlet manifold fit properly. Valley gasket needs to be done...

    I did my son's one last year. Definitely a pain to align properly, but with patience & lots of careful measurement you will get there. Do it with the complete assembly on a bench or table, and get the slides moving from fully open to fully...

    Plugs should look like the left one. If any are like the right plug, almost certainly head gasket.

    +1 on check charging voltage. The cars are quite fussy about volts !! Also, check your time machine if the battery was changed on 27th Dec 2025 ??

    It can also be the front cover gasket weeping into the coolant around the water pump. Definitely worth doing compression test on all 8 cylinders. Take all the spark plugs out first. Also flush & refill the coolant with water, and test again...

    We could try doing one old one each ??

    How are the Eurospares bearing going after a year ? I'm getting a rumble on mine about 60-65mph, mainly from the seat & floor, but not through the steering wheel. Feels like either rear wheels need balancing, or the bearings on their way out...

    The only downside is these use 14mm clamp nut, so I now need 13mm for the ground & 14mm for this !! The kit does have another clamp for the ground, so will fit that one day !!

    New positive fitted & working. MOT runs out today, so need to get that done next week.

    If windows and locking is not working, then it sounds like you have an issue with power or communications to the outstation. Check fuses 9 & 22. Nanocom will show if the outstation is responding. If the latch is stuck in the superlock...

    The beeps stop after a while as long as you keep going about 35-40mph.
