Has anybody ever downgraded to the base model rotary knob HVAC unit? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126278935122?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=GXxVErhQQL-&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=ekOY2RLDR4m&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I can't tell from the pictures if it uses cables or not to...

My HVAC has been down for a while. Both blender motors (right and left) not happy. Last weekend, finally got round to removing the easier to get to, but still quite hard left blender motor. One of the solder points on the potentiometer had failed, so sorted that, and that side seems to be...

I already had the head and liner off when I was trying to get the piston off the shaft. As mentioned above change the seal Insitu was fine in the end. Just a little tricky getting the liner on but otherwise straight forward. To tap the ring on I recommend putting something under the...

It's back together. I found a needle worked the best for getting the crap out of the o-ring recess without scoring it. Never did get the piston off. I think it's on forever. Setting the piston seal ring home was pretty easy in-situ. Just place a washer under the counter weight before hitting...

I think this head might be junk. Unless I can find a solvent that works, the only way to get the ring out is to scrape out it with with a screwdriver. So far I can only get tiny pieces out and if I go any harder I'm going to gouge the head. Why would you glue an o-ring in? Grrrrr.

I've just finished getting the cylinder off and that took a huge amount of abuse to separate from the head. I had the cylinder in the vice whilst I tapped and pried on the head and it took a lot of force to separate them. Is this normal? Just picking all the o-ring bits out now that are well and...

I actually backed it all the way out to eliminate it as a possible reason, but couldn't quite get it out through its hole, so drive it back in one turn. So I don't think this should be the issue. I reckon someone put loctite on the spline because I'm now putting a lot of force on it and it...

This is exactly what I've been doing. I'm a little nervous about being any more abusive with it. I might spray some WD40 (not too much) down there, let it sit, and try again later.

I'm re-building my EAS pump as it's scored to hell. But I just can't get the piston off its spline. I've removed the grub screw, and fully undone the screw under it (screw still in, but fully undone). I've been tapping the thing, prying on the backside like a monkey and it just won't budge. I...

Heel on the floor mat, moving from accelerator to brake my toes hit the plastic cover above the footwell. I don't have big feet. Size 8.5 UK. Arguably small. I can avoid hitting my toes, but I have to completely life my feet up off the floor and move them over. Does anybody else find that...

Bricks don't start the car however

Thanks to FootmanJames I managed to get a quote for £500. About half of the next best offer. That'll do, I'm done hunting around.

It would be interesting to see how difficult a P38 would be to steal. Look at it wrong and it will lock you out.

Is anyone else finding the P38 has become almost uninsurable? Living in the Croydon area, the normal online compare insurance policies are £1000+ Classic car insurance is even more expensive. Just been quoted £1500 by one of the big name classic car insurance firms. They think it's a...

I can't speak from personal experience, but I've been researching this recently, and Lanolin products appear to be the way to go. I believe they are better at displacing moisture where as waxoyl can sit on top of moisture. Lanolin is also less messy and easier to apply. Lanolin does need to be...

My welding was always terrible. Had a cheap Clarke mig and couldn't every get it set up right. On thin stuff I would either blow through, or get no penetration, nothing in-between. I then learnt tig and never looked back. If have the AC/DC version of this R-tech welder and I think it's great...

If it's the 4.0 then it's ULEZ compliant. The 4.6's aren't. However, because the P38's are only Euro2 compliant (and not Euro4) you have to write to Land Rover and ask for a Certificate of Conformity. If it's the 4.0, this should demonstrate that the NOx is less than 0.08g/km. I think the 4.0 is...

I didn't notice any cracking, but I didn't fully remove (just removed two accessible bolts and bent it back a bit) as I didn't want to remove the valve block with the limited time I had. Will check it once I have a replacement.

I had a bit of a fettle today. I couldn't find any leaks using the soapy water trick. I removed the inlet valve Insitu and found nothing suspicious. All o-rings looked to be in good nick and the valve moved smoothly. When deflating the system with the RSW software the tank failed to empty. It...

So I guess when it got hot at high speed it was loosing pressure through the pin hole. Then when it cooled down it was drawing air in through the pin hole resulting in an airlock. These pinholes are easy to find if you pump the system up to 15psi. You can hear the smallest hole hissing.
