I'm wondering if the plug has come off the back of the button. Not gonna be fun trying to crawl through lol

Tailgate on mine acting the **** again. Doesn't want to open lol

I've barely read any of the content on here so far. Never seem to find the time

I’ve seen James Martin mentioned a few times. Is he an auto box guru? If there’s a way I can make the HP24 run hydraulically I’ll be golden. Just need to fab up something for the kickdown cable. Really don’t fancy a compushift at £800

Normal cars are pretty easy to swap. But with the P38 it's a little more involved. I'll see what happens, not in no rush. I think going down the hydraulic route would be the easiest option.

it just gets a bit tiring. An auto would suit me better for what I do for the time being, but trying to find one in the spec I want within a sensible budget isn’t easy.

blanking cap from injector 6 leak off. For some reason it had perished yet the pipes were all done. it’s not just the clutch, it’s changing gears quite often as I spend most of my time round town. Coupled with the poor release mechanism I don’t think the HD clutch would last.

Went for the covid jab, did some spirited driving on the way back. Noticed a strong diesel smell coming from the bay. Found this after some searching.

Its not as easy as you'd think. With the P38 there's a whole load of electrics to deal with. It's trying to get them to work with the existing loom. I'm brilliant on the tools, but getting the electrical side to work will be fun. I've considered buying an auto but they're either ropey or silly...

that’s the plan once I figure out a way.

Gates or Dayco are fine.

One on the left is a gas shock so will try to go full extension. The one on the right is oil filled and isn’t pressurised.

I’ve far too much money in mine to be trading for a scrapper unfortunately.

Drove it, decided I’m falling out of love with the manual and now considering an auto swap lol

Not much will stop a determined thief unfortunately. If they can’t take the car, they’ll strip bits off it. My neighbour had the best idea with his. He fitted an alarm mine to the drivers door so when opened the thief quite possibly lost all hearing. Apparently they only tried it once lol

Beru were fitted on earlier cars, but post 95 seem to have the Bosch plugs. I run these in mine and have suggested them to countless others who have noticed an improvement over the Beru plugs. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290822504722

General service kits can be had from eurocarparts. All Bosch filters aren’t too bad wirh the voucher codes.

Welcome from a fellow Nottsman!

Wet carpet could mean heater matrix o rings.

Try changing the glow plugs and leak off pipes at the same time, they prefer the proper Bosch plugs. Check the clear hose that goes between the fuel filter and pump, if there’s air bubbles it’s got a leak somewhere. Usually the intake pump. as for the auto box, treat it to a new filter and a...
