And, the addition of catalytic converters was for emissions reasons, not to improve the the engine, Scotty Kilmer reckons engines run better without, if it came out the factory with em, they have to stay unless, you live in Tennessee.

Why not a stage 2 4.6 with Weber or Edelbrock carb, of course you would need the front cover off a 3.5!

Strange thing is, it seems they fitted whatever was available in the parts bin on the day, there is no definitive answer to which models (with walnut) had them and which didn't, I was thinking models (with walnut) that had the satnav option but, I'm probably wrong, I give up.:confused:

I'd be concerned how it got there in the first place, could you have filled up with contaminated fuel somewhere?

The only thing I can think of is, the centre dash moulding is different on models that didn't have the option of satnav, the cubby fits in the opening that would hold the satnav unit from what I can see on the images of the centre dash section online.

I just pulled mine out, no clips as such just, raised bits on the cubby where it fits the opening in dash but, I wouldn't say you could remove the whole clock via it, I just removed the cubby to change the bulb.

I have used it on the Astra I had, had a leaking head gasket after over heating when a hose clip failed, it never overheated after replacing the clip but, was losing coolant via the exhaust, followed the instructions to the letter and, it cured it, still hadn't lost any coolant when I got rid a...

Used to, now made of tightly rolled paper.

Might just be going down the exhaust, is there moisture coming out the tailpipe? condensation unusual this time of year, are you losing coolant?

If it wasn't damaged/repaired by them, it's a manufacturing defect if, that's the case, should be replaced at JLRs expense Not yours IMO.

Does yours have the sat nav type of centre dash, if it does (without the satnav) the cubby will come out and, you can reach the clock bulb, too late now I know, already done.:oops:

Used ones?

That's what I thought, so worth a mention.

They are actually cheaper by £100 for a late P38, than Island!

Just out of interest, I looked at MGF ones on Rimmers site, from what I could see they have three wires and, they're nearly as expensive as P38 ones.

If a new one is £232 it is not, that I'm condoning stealing parts from a fellow owner but, hooking one out of one in a breakers, sticking it in yer sky and, paying a couple of quid for another part is acceptable.

New ones are available if, you want to spend £232 but, had it been an older P38, £499.:eek:

It's 40 years here then, your're exempt from it all.

Maybe prior to Nov 92 are exempt but, knowing the frogs, doubt it.

It's just an extension, when I had a Rover P5B the cap screws straight into the rocker cover.
