You'll need to take the glass out. Slide the plastic covers on each side (forward if I remember right) so they come off and undo the two Torx screws on each side that hold the glass to the mechanism and lift it out. The seal is there to keep wind noise down, not to stop water getting in, the drains are there to get rid of it once it is there. You'll need to drop the headlining out to get to where they are attached to the sunroof cassette (so you may as well retrim it while it is out.....).

Thanks Richard

Mine is missing the plastic runners weirdly.

Is it better to lift it out with the sunroof on the tilt or when it is shut?

cheers!

However I don't get water dripping, it doesn't go down the windscreen or drip onto the carpet. it is just dampness on the top corner of the headliner.

Now I'm pondering how the sunroof seal comes off...............

Hmm yes.

There are drips forming off the bottom of the sunroof frame on the inside..

Hiya gents

The frame and inside of my sunroof is getting what looks like a lot of condensation on it/

I dunno.

No water is dripping down the screen, the carpet is dry too

no water on the carpets I should add.

Ah cheers Chris!

does trim just slide off?

Yep!

This time it is the front corner of the headliner under the sun visor is getting wet, and only on the captains side, the drinkers side is fine..

At the moment..

I've had this before and seemed to fix it, the sunroof frame had rotted and the glass was pulling away from the frame near the rear of the frame, I sealed it however what was happening was water was wicking under the seal and along the inside of the glass, which subsequently soaked the headliner..

I'm thinking of pulling the seal off the sunroof completely and sealing around under the glass, do you have to pull the cassette to remove the seal?

The water isn't running down the screen.

The sunroof drains are clear and all attached, I've poured water down them with no ill effect

Anyone had this?

Interesting..

I've been looking at various pushrod engines from the 60s and 70s

The small block chevy they recommend 10w30 or 10w40
The I6 Jeep motor since Morat has one recommends 5w30 or 10w30.

All very old engines

odd.

Just curious as to what engine oil you use in your P38s

I'm using 10w60

Thinking of a 5w40 next oil change...

Yep the 4.2 is smoother I wouldn't mind one, far better in terms of strength than its bigger 5.0 cousin

Maybe try strapping a supercharger to your P38, JE engineering kits come up on ebay occasionally lol

I've driven a few L322's the 4.4 TDV8 is a great motor when coupled with that 8spd box, the 5.0 V8 in all honesty isn't that quick, might of been because the 4.4 had a remap and with around 600lb-ft under the right foot compared to around 460lb-ft it was additive to just float past slower cars without really revving it.

The supercharged on the other hand needed to be revved out to get the performance, not saying that is a bad thing but the 8mpg wasn't fun compared to the 25+ the diesel would get lol

As for 0-60 performance the 5.0 can do 6secs to 60 and the 4.4 is 7.5 with a proper map you can get that down into the low 6 secs if you want more straight line power the 4.4 would roast all 4 tyres if the throttle was matted lol

Looks ace, defo gonna look out for a set

I'd love a set for mine, but they're comical prices 2nd hand..

how do they look?

Don't put T cut on the area you're going to glue, it won't stick

I know this from a mistake I made involving Discovery 2 Arch extensions ;)

Got any pics?

"nudge nudge"

Yep the Borg warner 4462 T case uses ATF ;)

Almost bought one instead of my current one..

Sparsely equipped when compared to a Vogue, had nice carpets though...

Thanks Gents.

Time to pull the old girl apart!

Odd one this...

driving around town today I notice a whirring that sounds like my Compressor, odd I thought as it was running constantly and never cutting off!!!!

Upon pulling over and checking the compressor, it was cool to the touch and obviously not running, however this annoying sound was still there...

I switched the heater fans on and they came on on problem, no untoward noises.

I did find out that it seemed to be coming from the interior temp sensor grill that is below the clock, It gets quieter when I cover the opening with my finger, or press the wood on the dash in with my hand..

When turning the ignition off there is a definitely whir of what sounds like a fan powering down...

I'm stumped!

doesn't sound like a heater fan.....

Any ideas?!

Cheers.
