Don't joke about it ! With a hip that wouldn't bend, getting in and out of the little yellow car was impossible for several months and climbing into the P38 and chucking the crutches over the seats was b****y difficult. Getting out, you just swivel and slide. Too much information ? Is there a...

Good morning all. After the long, and (thanks to all on here), ultimately successful saga of my can't-get-it-up EAS system, I thought that I should report the crowning glory. Yesterday I took the P38 for its Contrôle Technique (= MOT) and it passed, with no immediate requirements, just 2 or 3...

I have just been in to see Monsieur Renault and told him all about the saga to which so many on here have contributed. I wasn't rubbing his nose in it as he had freely admitted that P38s are a bit beyond him. In normal times he does get a fair number of UK tourists limping in with problems with...

.....and the handy small tractor for when the handy little sports car plays up. S'pose I should have included my all-terrain bicycle in the line-up too.

Sorry, didn't I say, they weren't the usual little Renaults - they were both John Deeres.

Pete. Thanks again. I see that you a Gas-Man. Good morning Pete. I suspect that you are right about my removing the tank feed to check the output and then re-inserting that may have done the trick, even though there had been no discernible leaks with the soapy-squirter apparatus. It was the...

Not sure how but my previous note somehow got slotted in out of sequence so you may not have seen it tony

PETE, PLEASE EXCUSE THE SHOUTIN' AND THE BAD LANGUAGE BUT THE BL**DY THING IS NOW RIDING HIGH AND SO AM I ! MY SINCERE THANKS TO YOU AND TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO PUT IN SO MUCH TIME AND THOUGHT TO MY PROBLEM. TONY

Brilliant. The schematic was very helpful I plan to laminate a copy and nail to the underside of the bonnet. I removed the pipe and yes there was a little bit of pressure , but not a lot. Just a few second's worth. Is that good or bad ? I have just run the system with the digit over the outlet...

Thank you Pete. There is much to be said for first principles: . Hope this annotation is an acceptable way to respond. Anyway, no further findings to report. All seems to indicate to this beginner that I have a leak somewhere down below.. Seems that my Nom de Plume, which I adopted a lot...

A lot of Unimogs came with a 3-pointed star on the grille. Now that would be, as they say in these parts, Très snob.

Tried leaving the door open for 30 mins. Compressor got hot but nothing else happened. Presumably Monsieur Renault would be able to attach his airline c/w pressure gauge to the tank feed. Would a leak from one of the individual airbag feeds give the result of no pressure to any of them or...

What diaphragm and where ?

Good morning Mark. Yes, all faults cleared with Mr.Storey's facility. Everything, 4 lights etc., seems correct except that the darned thing just doesn't lift off the stops. Goodly amount of pressure (by my finger gauge, at least) from the compressor outlet. Now if I can get it on M. Renault's...

In my recap, I should have mentioned that all four airbags had been replaced within the last 18 months. I have since picked up on Whammer's advice to check the exhaust outlet on the valve block for any pressure. None at all. The pressure on the compressor outlet is very strong. Still the darned...

Sorry, I meant the little white thingie on the valve block, which I gather is the exhaust silencer. Not sure how to decide if it is blocked. Am I right in thinking that the exhaust on the valve block only lets out excess air if for example one is lowerering the suspension ? If that is correct...

Thank you Pete. I am reassured. I thought I might have overdone la Liquide de Fairy.

Thank you Gunner. I had checked suction at the inlet but I hadn't thought to check t'other end. I was really really hoping that I bought a new but duff compressor. Sadly, no - lots of warm air pushing out. So on to the next stage. I forget what it is but someone on here mention a litlle white...

Thank you RangeRoller. That is certainly something I shall ask "Monsieur Renault" to look for, although I shall probably be under the lift with him. Is the average garage likely to have this sort of pipe and connectors/joint as a stock item ? I think I read of them being 8mm but not sure. Seems...

Thanks for your response Brian. You mention the rear air bags and as you say, I can't get at them, but doesn't that apply to the front ones as well or am I missing something ? I have been splashing about with my soapy water squirter and found very little topside except for a tiny bit of...
