4 new tyres for me, upped the size to 265/60’s. Car looks a lot more ‘complete’ compared to the 255/55’s previously.

Tbh I’m pretty sure the car came out of the factory with the air bags perishing! In fairness I’m very pleased with the outcome, I daily the car and was expecting a lot more. All the above seems bits I can DIY with the odd bit of help here and there!

Well Big Phil the P38 went in for his MOT this morning.. after 3 passes on the trot with only the occasional minor he.. …passed again! But this time a few more minors, gives me a little winter project at least! (On top of all the other bits!) So: Front N/S & O/S anti roll bar ball joints Front...

Okay, thought it might be something along those lines. Once the car is through the MOT later this week, I’ll get it sorted!

Hopefully it won’t come to that. I’m known at work for fixing a bike puncture with a hammer, so brute force I’m pretty good at. I was going to ask why the cowling needed to be removed? Does it affect the air flow, or..?

Thanks for all the replies. Datatek has given me his guide to the mod which I’ll be using, seems like a very easy and simple mod to do!

So next question.. Any link to the mod.. and can it be used without fully working air con? I have a book symbol I’ve not gotten around to sorting yet and a leak somewhere

On the drive to work is screams going through the village but once I’m up the hill after a couple of minutes it’s back it’s quiet ways. I’ll take at the controller and see the state of it. Thanks!

Evening all, In the ever continuing journey with the P38 I’ve got another problem/issue/querk I’m stumped with. Engine is the 2.5D to help work out. When the engine is cold, it is unbelievably loud - almost like a beating has gone, but once the engine is warm, almost exactly as the needle...

Appreciate all the feedback everyone. I’ll do some more looking in to Dinitrol and Lanoguard. Either way I’m going to need to give certain a parts of the car a bit of a scrub before applying it!

Time to sound like a total beginner.. but could you give me a breakdown of what I’d need and a way to make the waxoyl hot without setting fire to everything?

Definitely smoother than what came off though 😂 car does feel less ‘rolly’ around some of the twistier bends on the run into work this morning. Top bolts for the rear shock were full of crap on mine to the point I needed to use a 19mm socket to remove. Front top bolts weren’t the easiest to...

Finally got around to changing out the 160k miles old shock absorbers.. A noticeable difference would be an understatement.

Evening all, on Saturday I finally got around to get the car in the air and changed out all 4 shocks for some TerraFirma ones. While under there I did notice some corrosion and surface rust. Once the major corrosion is sorted and I’ve wire brushed off the surface rust, what’s the better options...

Well that solves it! Knew someone here would. Chances of finding one of them second hand ain’t happening then!

There’s a lot to unpack in there. But the instrument surround looks close to the gear selector and handbrake.. but very different from the centre trim.

On the way back from a shopping trip we stopped by a second hand landy dealership and I got sidetracked looking at a couple of the P38s they had there.. Looked in the interior of one them and saw this? (See attached image) Anyone know what it is/from? Ta in advance all!

Awesome. I’ll try the eraser mentioned further up first before I go grab the solder iron.

Amazing! Really appreciate the effort you’ve gone to here! Best way to removed the metal strips, would heating up the existing solder and removing them that way? Or just snip them?

Appreciate it, thank you!
