Good shout on the dye. Where is the air con evaporator to check for leaks? Cheers for the response chaps.

Dear all - happy new year! Haven't been on the forum much apart from scouring for a 109 series due to a totally reliable P38! That never lasts does it.... Last year I changed the O rings just above the transmission tunnel and have enjoyed no coolant loss and dry carpets. Recently I have been...

Time for a lengthy clean. I would recommend a clay bar to anyone who will listen!!

Thanks Dopey I have ordered those washer jets... My car is a base model and only has one switch which isn't the same as the ones on those multi switch panels this is all that lies behind the panel in my car - complete with the end of the switch snapped off and totally stuck inside! What do...

HI all I am after two small bits front washer jet setup that pokes through the bonnet (whilst cleaning under the bonnet I whacked the washer jet tube elbow and snapped the tube off which feeds the jet) - are these parts common to other rovers of the time? front drivers seat height increase...

I have the exact same problem. Took my bumper off today to inspect it as I suspected the metalwork underneath was in a sorry state. This is what I found! The mounting points have completely rusted out. I think it was only muck holding it on. I think I'll have to take it to a specialist to get...

Dug around the back of the engine and found the idler control valve sensor which I had neglected to re-connect Thanks for your help Josh

hi all I replaced the rocker cover gaskets on my P38 4.0 THOR last week. Took off all of the manifold etc and replaced all plugs and leads whilst I was in there - now its all gone back together on start up I have a low, lumpy idle. Smooths out once warm but if the engine is cold, it quickly...

Today I managed to do the following to my 99' P38 Replaced the oil in both diffs and the transfer box New plugs and leads New rocker cover gaskets as they were seeping oil all over the place New oil and all filters Was totally delighted when it had all gone back together and started straight...

For anyone interested I took these off and the bottom is very poorly sealed by design. I soaked the bottom of the lights in hot water for an hour and aggravated the road muck with small flexi-brush. Shifted nicely - very simple job

Many thanks Wammers Job done.

New set of rear tailgate light units the only solution? Upsetting!

Before I start taking things apart, do the P38 rear light units disassemble so that I can clean out this mould or are they fairly sealed/inaccessible? Any advice welcome Josh

hi all Following having a new drag link assy fitted (not by me) my steering wheel is off centre. Is this something that is simple to put right? I.e by loosening parts of the Assyrian, shifting the wheel and re-tightening? Cheers Josh

There are a few lhd 3dr examples surfacing from dry climates. I can't help feeling they represent great value if the body/chassis checks out. What do people think? The lhd wouldn't bother me, though I reckon I would convert to V8 after a while...

No sunroof - it's certainly coolant

Hi all After a jubilant few weeks following mission O ring, I have coolant in the foot well again. When I did the job I was sure to check it had all sealed properly again etc. Could there be any other connection this is seeping from? Weird thing is, it seems to collect right by the door...

Thanks for all the advice guys. The car totally failed on emissions - so badly I simply don't understand how it passed the year before. I had the whole system replaced with new (non OEM) including 2 replacement manifolds from a breakers as the old ones were so warped. A costly pre Christmas...

And it's has a mix of short and long runs but I don't think its something a decent run will sort. Imagine the cats are feeling their 16 years!!

Good questions - haven't fully been over it yet - need to get to the test centre but will ask those things
