Thank's gents. I thought so, but you can't beat double checking on here first! Many thanks John & Gav. Foultrousers

Dear all, Are 1995 P38 exhaust manifold's on 4.0 and 4.6's transferable? My off side got a crack in it (4.6 HSE), but I know where there's a cheap second hand one of a 4.0. The heads are the same are'nt they? Regards, Foultrousers

Saddle clamps ok. I'm not sure if it ever was from the o rings now as they were undamaged. Need the car tomorrow, so I'm going to bypass the matrix with 22mm copper pipe with a 180o bend in it. Matrix removal next weekend and so I can see whats happened. Fortunately its warming up a bit now...

All, The leak is not from the o rings on the pipes, it seems to be escaping back past the bolt head? The pipes are totally dry, coolant is dripping from between the manifold where the bolt hole is. Either there is another o ring for the bolt onto the clamp or I have a fracture in the...

Fanatic, Your right, the originals were flat, but the replacements as you mention are not. There is no movement from the stub pipes but fluid is passing under pressure. The clamp is recessed for the flanges of course but because I didnt bother to check before I stripped it, I cant tell if...

Dear all, Struggling to get a good seal with new o rings, coolant is still passing seals. I've not got a small mirror to see the recess properly and I'm unsure if the flange behind the o rings needs to seat inside the housing? I can feel a locating stub inside and see the cut outs on the...

Gav & Andy, Its never overheated and I changed front pipes/cat on the exhaust two weeks ago. I posted about the state of one oxygen sensor threads, complaining they are made of monkey metal, but it cleaned up & went back in ok. I imagined if it was a Lambda sensor it would be like this all...

Dear all, Had damp carpet in drivers footwell at weekend. loads of antifreeze in liquid so I've just picked up some o rings to replace on the heater this weekend. But, Yesterday & this morning its missing on a couple of cylinders on start up, or if left for a length of time. Will...

Check that everything electrical works and there are no testbook alarm symbols showing on the HEVAC(air con/heater controls)etc. Wet carpets in footwells. As Gav above mentioned, check coolant level before and after run if possible and suspension reaches all positions on the rocker switch...

Dont forget to disconnect the tweeter and door amp.

Tony, For the repair, I can recommend a 3/1 mix of my mother inlaws mashed spuds & broccoli. I used this with great success repairing a cracked block six years ago. If you replace the broccoli for crush and run its good for paving too. Failing that, can you lay your hands on Dennis...

What did you use to investigate the rust? A fookin JCB? :D

I changed this receiver too, two years ago. Also found old (not since I've owned it)water damage to becm. Becm was salvaged at a cost of £600! Alarm would just keep waking up. I found a good auto elec to trace for power drains after all this and found nowt. But if its left for a week its...

I've noticed this a couple of times recently ZZR on my P38a. On start up, first thing in morning. Could you explain please? Kind regards, Foultrousers.

Andy & David, Many thanks for the advice. They both went back in too, after attention from a thread file which saved me £200+. Kind regards, Foulrousers. ps: I had to move her at one point for better access, and I tell you what, " there's nowt like the sound of a V8 on open...

Dear all, Replacing downpipes/cats on P38a, from originals. Were these sensors made of chocolate? N/Side, ok, threads may clean up with dia of god knows what size and O/Side threads looks like its been chewed on by Odd bod junior from carry on screaming! They needed a considerable amount of...

Woooooooooaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! Beast O Bodmin, Is the first picture your sister? and can I have her number?

Can anyone tell me when you replace two tyres, they should go on the front or rear? I have just put two new ones on the rear, identical replacements, correct pressures and its feels like its wandering around like a pig on a lead? Replaced drag link & ball joint a couple of months ago for MOT...
