Meguires ultimate compound and a DA polsiher
Took around 40mins to remove.
Taking my time ;) LOL
fixed a big scratch ;)
The before.
And the After.
Never a dull moment ;)
Love the blue
Do any of my fellow P38 owners undercoat their 'erm...... P38?
I was thinking of doing mine, as she has 0 rust, i'd like to keep it that way.
I have Waxoyl black..

The old Bus is reasonably Oil tight..
Weirdly..
I seem to recall seeing Britpart branded Oil, might be wrong though..
Used 5w40 Mobil 1 Fully syn.
Just curious, I noted with a Mann Filter that the Oil pressure light would always take 1-2 seconds to disappear.
Since fitting a Bosch Filter the light doesn't even flicker..
Odd maybe, its the design of the filter?
What do filters do you all prefer?
Cheers Both!
I'm gonna cut the foam I think..
Ordered some damp rid!
Thanks Morat!!
Engine bay is coming long
Managed to drag all the moisture out of the front carpet foam..
Quite ingenious, well not really!
Cheap though!!
Also replaced the bulbs in the Fogs.
might brighter! ;)
P38 is a special market.
The youngest is 18yrs old now..
Not many rush out to buy 'em!
I did initially think the same Gilbertd
Research showed exactly what you're saying, to which i agree..
However for trips and giggles i decided to go with the Owners manual, 5w40 "allegedly" is the best of both worlds.
So i'm gonna find out!
She sounds ok, apart from a dicky idler and alternator, grumbling at me.
A start after 4 weeks sitting, the ticking only lasts for 4 seconds whereas before it would go on for minutes '_
SR.
I'd hazard it would be more efford ripping out the carpet to get to the metal to cut..
Just drop the tank..
Piece of pish in reality.
Changed the Oil.
1 make a mess.
2 Drop a litre of Oil down ya armpit IE loosen off the filter.
3 clean up the sump plug, then drop it down the bay and gasp in horror becoz u don't hear it hit the ground!
Found it.
4 Prime up the new filter.
5 spin the new one on.
6 Fill her up.
7 Cut the old filter open and have a look ;)
Not too bad considering,.
I used this kit.
Tappet tapping has gone now which is nice..
Ahh..
Nice/
Ahh right..
Would the leak be in the valveblock if it doesn't sag when stationary for a period of time?
She will rise quickly, but it seems to take a while for it to go up, the lights flash, then suddenly she shoots up/down.
The old bus had been sat for 1 1/2 years on the bump stops so i'll have to expect a few niggles, a good rebuild should see her good.
Thanks

I've seen a few "what have you done" threads on some other Forums, so i thought i'd start one on here.
Today and tbh since last week i've seen trying to deal with the water ingress.
And have been playing round with the interior and in particular the leather seats, trying to get them clean..
when i picked it up... ^^^b
After 3 years and alot of scrubbing!
'tis getting better!
And all back together, Beige carpet wouldn't of been my first choice if i had spec'd it!! ;)
Carpet is alot less Yellow!!
But it is ridiculously easy to get dirty again..
I don't think the PO had ever heard of mats LOL

I noticed this thread has a Star near it..
Does that mean it's a Sticky?
My old P38's Air suspension seems to have a mind of its own..
1 She sits cock eyed at any height, much higher on the OS than the NS.
2 The compressor is running constantly, and gets so hot it can't be touched.
3 When using the height control button, when raising OR lowering the lights flash, and it takes forever to either deflate or inflate the bags..
4 If you set her in "wade" mode and then shut her off she'll lower down by quite a degree.
The odd thing is..
You can leave her a month on any setting and she won't sag, i don't think there is a leak,.
It's like she's constantly trying to self level..
Any ideas H
