Good work Marty..

Took me the best part of a day because of seized bolts!

The TF instructions are rarely accurate, i put a set on my D2 and the instructions they came with didn't even correspond with the shock in the box!!

Note the "cups" welded to the axle..

Also it is worth noting the "stock" shockers have washers that can sieze in the cups on the axle causing a chain reaction of further pain..

Flick them out with a screw driver!!

I encountered this conundrum when buying my TF +2 shocks.

The P38 has the cups on the axle "atleast" mine has..

TF supply all the cups, 2 of which aren't needed..

The shocker has to have a cup against its body, the rubber bush sits in the axle cup WITHOUT the TF washer and the shocker thread has a bush over it and the cup goes on last with the nut securing the whole party together

Got any "complete pictures" David ;)

Rimmer Bros quad stainless setup fits really quite well..

Ebay specials aren't too bad either, my Hammer came out to adjust my midsection LOL

The fuelling on mine is all over the shop and it still sounds fine..

Does it matter whether it's in gear?

does the noise change in regards to whether you're in drive reverse neutral or park?

Can't really think of anything that isn't available for the P38, heater cores aren't really NLa as you say you can get aftermarket parts.

I'm sure JLR classics would start making parts if they were pestered enough, the same happened for the RRC

For me EAS is a peculiarity i've driven a good few P38's and i find the ride is the same as Coils and especially at slow speed over a rough road it is quite rough..

The V8 is another, all other SUV's at the time could walk past the P38 in a straight line, the need to use a 40+ year old V8 is an oddity to me..

Just my findings.

No leaks Morat she can sit for weeks at a time without sinking, It "levels" to that!!

The EAS diagnostics wouldn't idle when the original relay was fitted..

My issue is it sits like this with the timer relay in.....

Bloody air suspension, could swear the coils on my D2 were softer comfier and never sagged to one side even with shit shocks.

As far as being a tad more clever than the designer i'd disagree, just trying to make it look a little less comical, replacing the relay only results it sagging on one side when loaded up..
Ahhh!!

An oddity of this P38 is things keep changing...........

The Heights are all over the shop..

This is "standard" which to me looks like Motorway

And Motorway looks like Access.

Wade mode looks ok..

The odd thing also is the default setting for when i start her is Wade mode, and i have to drop her down to standard manually..
Oh and she isn't self levelling when there is someone in the passenger seat so she's on the piss when parked..

Especially noticeable when at a petrol station..

You can get 3 fingers between the arch and tyre on one side, and an entire leg the other side!!!!!

My EAS cable won't connect..

And i've replaced the EAS timer relay with a a standard 4 pin relay to help stop it self levelling when you turn her off.

otherwise it looks almost comical..

bastard thing.

Good evening gents..

Just was looking around my P38 and i've tried to ignore the scratched and dented bumpers since i bought it..

However now i find myself contemplating respraying them MC blue to match the bodywork

The issue is, only certain colours suit the body coloured bumpers, atleast IMO

what do ya'll think?

New Steering damper fitted..

Old was was dead upon removal of the old drag link..

The Blue ones are comfort biased..

And besides..

The old ones hadn't fared too well..

The new ones haven't made any detrimental effects to the ride, as far as i can tell...

Java.

Ahhh!!!!!

David..

I had that trouble, I used a MC blue from Ebay which was a completely different colour from the body of the car! second time around i used black for mine "java" IIRC less to go wrong with black!

Reason being the little stickers that denote the colour on rattle cans is Seldom correct..

Ashington autospares in Northumberland are a superb source for paint both custom and factory..

Covid social distancing might prohibit, unless you can order over the phone..

Dunno..

It looks alright to be..

Defo better than before!

I'd do them Marty..

Might not be for a few months though, as i working my arse off myself at the moment!

PM incoming

Thanks Richard..

The sealant seems to have done the Job

Oh yes definitely..

A small amount goes a long way..

You'll note the first coat looks like it hasn't done much, but it is the basis for the others and after a few coats it looks great, i used around 1/4 of a pot on my wheel, and it was one of the bad'uns!!

you'll could do 4 at a stretch!
