Looks like a bit of a mess, I'd not be going back there at any rate. Your P38 might be different from mine, so see what others say...but it looks to me like the block under the plenum is on the wrong way round (there are lugs to stop this happening though?) In the first pic the left most black...

Will get round to testing this at some point, really well written comprehensive guide...Cheers Clarky, definately worth a sticky in the how-to maybe?

Hi folks, Hoping someone can answer a quick easy question for me. Doing a bit of work on the range and I noticed the sensor in the flywheel housing on my GEMS P38 is loose...the whole mounting (circular cylinder) moves back and forth by about 5-6mm even though the sensor mounting bolts seem...

End of discussion? :D

Still not going to stop you getting pulled by the rozzers! Tinted vehicle windows - the rules : Directgov - Motoring Think this is what I read before about any additional tint on the front windows on top of the standard level of tint easily putting it over the legal limit. Tinted front...

I thought pretty much any tint on the front side windows (apart from the standard maufacturers glass tint) was illegal now.

The passenger handle wouldn't have had a keyhole to start with, but there should be one on the drivers handle unless that was removed as well. I'm sure I read a post about someone using a long length of stiff wire fed from under the rad up to the bonnet catch to release the mechanism...I might...

Hey folks, Just thought I'd put a quick post up. After nearly 8 months of sitting at the back of my drive I've finally got time to get my P38 back on the road and in good running order...fingers crossed! :D Replaced the rear brake lines and all seems good, still dealing with some engine...

Possibly a silly question...but how does the car not have a keyhole? :confused: Door handles replaced?

Maybe driving etiquette wasn't foremost in the designers thoughts! :p But yeah, just giving a quick flash isn't as straightforward as it should be...unless I'm missing something too!

hi rtz, Welcome to the forum. Easy enough to do, just go through each window in turn winding down, hold the down button for few secs at the bottom (window fully open) and rock back to the up position in one movement and hold until the window is all the way back up (closed). You should get...

Gutted to hear about the fire, like others have said at least you and the missus were ok. Was in machine mart earlier and saw fire extinguishers for £15, reckon I'll dive back in there and pick one up! :) Slight hijack but on a similar line...I've notice my heat shielding is all but worn away in...

Can't help ya with the aluminium sump, but putting the hylosil/hylomar beading around the old sump was an easy enough job (still need to replace my crank pulley oil seal though). Only suggestion I'd make is to jack the sump lightly into place to stop it sliding around while you tighten the bolts.

You can double check if it's the o-rings by watching wether the coolant reservoir level is dropping!

Nice one for fixing urself, would be good to see some info in connnecting the i-pod the jack if you get it working!

Would normally agree with Datatek, they call em Halfrauds for a reason! :D Have bought that oil myself though, found it a bit of a struggle to find 5L at that price anywhere else! :eek:

Cheers for more input guys...awesome reply Irish, thanks for takin the time to write all that out...parts list escpecially handy! Not had much experience doing DIY brake lines, always happy to give it a go though! :D A mate of mine with more mechanical experience than me says it can be an issue...

It's a P38, any advice on the job and tools needed will be greatly appreciated. The brake lines seem solid up to the wheel arch where they turn up. Any suggestions for a good source for the lines and unions would be great too. Cheers guys.

Still working through the buckaroo issue but had a small disaster with a ruptured brake line. Rear brake line has blown running along the chassis crossmember above the rear drivers side airbag. Gonna need to start replacing the brake lines but that section is a real PITA to get to, any...

It could be mechanical, just didn't think it was very likely because it's been quite random...though it's bucking most of the time now. It does it in all gears and stalls in neutral too so didn't think it was a gearbox issue...any other ideas to help isolate the fault? Had a bit of a disaster...
