Had to do a bit of a dash today with work,ending up doing 196 miles of motorway driving.As it was an emergency breakdown i had to drive faster than I usally do. I didnt drop below 60 apart from 20 miles of compulsory 50 mph,most of the time is about 70 or slightly above Shes a 1996 diesel auto...

many thanks for the info,always wondered where and how they named them, many thanks

not very experienced in these matters but can anyone shed light on where the p 38,L322 names were derived or came into being? Yep I'm a boring history type and actually enjoy watching,victorian farm,war time farm,programmess etc

Saw on a post on here about swapping autoboxes Mines a 96 2.5 dte can i put in a 4.6 liter aotobox and if so what other parts do I need to swap over please. I'm asking as mines done 138 thousand miles and to be honesst I'm not good with auto box technology. If it can be done i was going to look...

forgot to say,Im with admiral insurance and once id sent them the official blurb on the ron box they charged me £10.oo admin chaarge to alter the insurance to cover the "update" so to speak. Dont forget to check the insurance surcharge if you do modify,sometimes its uninsurable with too good...

I know its not rechipping but I fitted a ronbox to my p38 diesel. Works great.seems to go faster if i boot it but i dont generally boot it. It does seem to change up better and seems to go into "direct drive" a lot quicker. I dont tow with it and tend to do 50-55 on the motorway,ok ok im an old...

Unusual one, every time i park my p38 near my ageing rover 75 diesel,after a couple of hours,the 75's hazards flash,no alarm,just indicators flash. If i move them apart the flashers stop Weird one or what. Anyone had similar instances? Just wondering if its some strange sort of Rover mating...

Changed the bulb on the auto pushbutton by carefully pulling the outer ring out. Changed the bulb and I can now see the drivers temp up and down arrows and the center auto bit etc. Only thing is,when the engines running etc,if I press the center auto bit ,the aircon doesnt switch over to auto...

oops apologies should have read LEGEND

Standing in front of the rangey,looking back,the hose on the left is the top hose goes to the thermostat and the one on the right is the bottom hose. Sounds oh so similar to mine,left hose cold right hose hot and no stat in as well It turned out to be my rad

Yep took my own advice and followed your advice,viscous gone,top capillary stat fitted and wired in ,including the manual overide switch,all good Many thanks

Oh yes,tookk Datateks advice and checked the thermostat,just as well as it was duff brand new as well!!!!!! Did the marble test as he said as well. That mans a living legend you'd have to be a complete fool not to listen to what he says and then NOT do it

Hi Mick,mines an auto as well,the two pipes at the bottom of mine arent used Think iread on here that theyre used on the manual for gearbox cooling. My auto box oil is cooled by that small rad on the nsf like you have. I had to undo the screws that hold the front grill on and then undo the four...

Changed the rad today on my 2.5 diesel,well what an easy job,easiest rad ive ever changed. Old one seemed heavier to lift out but the core looked solid and good so I was a bit concerned but when i filled it up let it idle it soon got up to 12 o'clock and stayed there,fans didnt even click in...

still working on my p 38 too hot problem,not overheating btw ,see other posts Today I was going to tackle the water pump. Found the tensioner pulley impossible to move and couldnt even lever it off. Had to undo the two bolts that secure the tensioner on then use an aleen key and a bloomin big...

dont know if it will help or not but my old p38 suddenly dropped 4-5 miles per gallon and it was as datatek suggested on here,my leak off pipes had crackedd on an injector at the back of the engine,fixed it by replacing all the leak off pipes,well they were all the same age and id just be...

nah ill stick to my 18 yr old...................p 38 that is,lol

Why is it that what you wanted always turns up after youve bought? Suppose its life Really wanted a manual but settled for an auto
