Right another issue!!

From cold start her idle is 1700rpm when she starts to warm up the idle jumps from 1700-1000 and then settles at 1100..

One up to temp it drops rapidly to 850 and she idles fine..

All day fine..

But once cold it is going insane!!

I'm torn between IACV and TPS..

I noticed it only started to happen after a i gave it full throttle, "which i've never done" lol

That right there is art..

Rebuilding your current Autobox isn't a difficult Job, and might be worth doing!

I generally prefer 6 sided sockets as the grab the flats instead of the corners of a nut/bolt..

Odd it is listed as an Impact socket, it is made of chrome vanadium the same as the shiny silver ones, which like to crack with impacts.

All impacts should be chrome moly..

Anyway..

It'll work but the chances of rounding the head are increased.

Welcome aboard..

This is without question the best forum for the P38

Well, yesterday the Magnecors arrived and were dually fitted.

I ordered a Britpart hose set for it against my better judgement... Most of it has ended up in the bin other then a couple of bits that looked scruffy on our originals. Whoever in Britpart thinks this is acceptable for a top hose needs shot...

Nice to hear the new engine is performing well..

Hows does she compare to your other VSE?

Any........................................................

Cough....

Pictures lol

Chrome Moly are impact rated

Bi-Hex are the work of satan..

I'd say you're one up from me, my rear bumper is held on with zipties!! lol

It's the balljoints that wear, generally it doesn't matter what grade steel the drag link it made of..

£950 seems steep I replaced almost all the suspension bushes for under £350

Don't fit Polybushes standard rubber are best

A standard Drag link will work just fine, fitting an expensive fancy one is a waste of money imo Rimmer Bros "OEM" is MOOG so i'd go with that they're not expensive..

When you mean "donut" do you mean the Harmonic Damper?

If yours is a Diseasel it won't have one on the front diff..

If you mean the coupling for the Prop, mine doesn't have rubber couplings.

How's it going David?

Hows the motor?

I've gotta get some free time to pull it to bits..

the Driver side fan doesn't work..

Being covered with water for a good while has probably sealed its fate...

Cheers gents.

I'd leave the airbag well alone..

I've had my younger brother and sisters in the back aswell as my Nieces and Nephews. "not at the same time"

All of them in Graco child seats, which fitted without issue..

I believe those were the ones..

Personally I wouldn't have Kids in the front, too much risk, and my siblings like to press buttons and pull levers..

I don't fancy going from D to P at 50mph LOL

I turned off the LPG on the cold start and it was running like a dog on Petrol.

I tried to switch to LPG and it switched over for 10 seconds and the cut off..

It ran perfectly normal once I un coiled the wire

I've gotta agree Richard the wiring really is shit..

As is the lines they used for the LPG..

Instead of trimming the line to just the right length i had several inches of coiled pipe ziptied here and there in my engine bay, it looks like they wrapped it around a wine bottle..

I'll get it to Simon one day........

he'd probably faint if he saw the extent of the bodgery.

Right...

Started her up and she ran like shit even on petrol switched her on to gas and it ran for 10 seconds before the gas cut off..

Engine now idling at 1500rpm and sproratically dropping a cylinder or 2 for 5 seconds..

I turned her off and pulled the wire apart.

Turned her over and she ran a dream..

this about right?

I've since wrapped it in electrical tape.

Ahh..

Thanks i'll do that.

Thanks all it might sound stupid but.................................

how do i short the sensor?
