cheers guys new shocks ordered was just going to do the front two but stuff if all 4 are getting replaced they aren't expensive and if im getting my hands dirty doing the front two I might as well do the back two:)

my wife says its like driving a marshmallow

I live in a little village in lincolnshire and the roads all around me aren't the best my mk5 golf tdi gets thrown all over the place so you can imagine what it does to a big wallowing p38. didn't want to put firmer shocks on if they wouldn't make much difference. I do a little off roading in it...

yes wammers I meant the shocks was being distracted while I was typing and I cant multi task

was going to do both sides anyway as one has gone you can bet the other one will go next month.

hi all doing a few jobs today on my range rover and noticed that front drivers strut was weeping. Obviously it needs replacing but just wondered do I replace with on oem strut (not **** part though) or should I go for an uprated gas strut. Would there be any difference with an uprated one. Like...

20k and they didn't bother washing and polishing it for the photos!!!!

no its still on the 20" l322 alloys it came with need to get some new tyres for the 18"tripple sports ive got for it.

hi all well it was holiday time at easter for us. loaded the rangie up (4.0 hse) with 4 suit cases 2 holdalls and 2 sets of golf clubs and headed off on the 700 mile round trip from lincolnshire to okehampton in devon. didnt really trust it before we left as ive had a few issues with it since i...

cheers james im keeping an eye on it but the temp gauge has never moved think i might just put a new thermostat on it to be on the safe side id rather eyre on the side of caution than run th gauntlet. i must be getting old cos not long ago id have said of bugger it ill worry about it when i breaks.

sort of the same thing so the 3.9 off the classic is the same engine that would mean i can get a 3.9 bare block and use all the stuff off my 4.0 thor engine on it

no its only cold on the radiator side of the thermostat i would have thought it would open up as ive got a 12 mile daily drive to work and 12 back all of it done at around 50 mph

Right ive read rave and was wondering if i was right in my thinking on this one. The cooling system on my 2001 4.0 has a bypass system on it where as when it is cold and before it gets up to temperature it bypasses the thermostat and goes round the engine, heater matrix etc etc. Now my temp...

think the delphi are oem discs for the p38. ebc brakes are quite good as well ive just put them on mine and they stop it quite well.

think reputable garages went out of the window with the resession. just spent a day replacing the timing cover gasket replaced the water pump while i was there. heater wasnt working propery after id done till i started to rev it a little bit hopefully got rid of any air locks that might be in there

after looking at everything on the car i reckon ive got a bit of work to do but its a nice looking beast so think it will be worth the messing about.

thats the interesting thing pasenger side pads were in great condition and it had done about 130 miles from the mot being done.

well bought my 51 plate 4.0hse in feb and it had an mot done in late january. thought the brakes were a bit crap and it didnt handle very well so looked at the brakes drivers side pads were about 30 miles from being metal to metal so replaced them. handling wise i put a new steering damper on...

sorry forgot to put its a 2002 4 litre v8 thor engine

thought i had a water leak out of the water pump gasket so set about going to put a new gasket on this afternoon when something occured to me that it couldnt be that as the water was collecting above the water pump. stripped the alternator, air con pump and power steering pump off dried the pool...
