welcome to the forum

might have to purchase one of these

hi folks sorry not p38 related
I've got a 2006 RRS I'm on the look out for a detachable towbar if someone knows where I would be best to source one.
I've tried local breakers and they seem to sell quicker than hot cakes at the minute.
I'm based in Norfolk if that helps

I did see on a social media site that some one was making a cup holder
it could possibly be someone on here?

any one be interested in these before they go to local dump they came out of a off roading p38 I never got round to fitting them in mine they do not have the SRS wires in the base so out of a older model

@Gilbertd you got the right karl I have got the Sport and alas the key fob you can't change just the buttons you have to change the whole case
one cut and coded to my sport was 200 plus vat and anything up to 7 days delivery

hi guys I've just purchased a new blank key blade a fob as my old one the buttons have worn through
I know the old case is glued together I just wondering if you lovely chaps or chapesses have any tips on taking old fob apart to swap the innards in to new case
as much as I love my RR I didn't want to pay £200 plus on a key so that's why I just went for empty case and blade

I've got the l320 4.2 v8 supercharger on 56 plate it is a lot more responsive than my 2000 2.5td was
as for spares there not much difference in price between the 2 or so I've found

we got a sailing with Stena line to Ireland in few months @pierre what they like to sail with
going from Liverpool to Belfast

Its been a few years since I used Stenna line, that crossing is slow and there isn't much to do on it either. There was wifi on board, but at the time it was barely usable as its sattelite based and got everyone bored with nothing to do browsing on their phones etc.

I did see it was a 8 hour crossing we looking at the afternoon one so be over in evening time
will look in to the holyhead one we going to friends up in larne

80p a litre from little garage on A1065 only put 10 quids worth in just to test it out

all ways push the sensor as far in as you can when you drive it will push it self to where it should be

I can agree with karlos01, I had to deal with various hydraulic pipes being made up when I was driving trucks, many years ago. I started off with EF's and Seddon Atkinsons and having to get new hydraulic pipes made up was a pretty common thing.

Anyway, I have just received a large box, care of DPD, containing two new power steering pipes. I know one is a late model P38 item, the low pressure return pipe [?] and one is an early model P38 high pressure pipe. I haven't opened the box yet to see what the look like, but my supplier is very confident that the high pressure pipe from the early diesel car will fit all the same.

they will fit weather been good today done few jobs on mine today new bonnet catch fitted and LPG system been tested out was surprised by the price compared to petrol

it's all to do with the metal wiring in the rubber hose and thickness of rubber that determine the psi

Gilbertd yes you see correct on the loading shovel I use the pipes are 125 bar but have 75 bar run through them

oh @Pierre3
the difference between the 2 pipes IE high and low pressure is the high pressure hose feeds the steering ram and the low is returning to the resovier
the reason you was quoted that much is because with out the pattern pipe the pipe manufacture wouldn't know the PSI rating of both pipes

keep is updated @Pierre3

Pierre has a late model diesel and it seems the high pressure pipe is NLA but the same pipe for the earlier one is. He's wondering what the difference is and can he fit an early pipe to a later car? The steering box is the same and if the pump is the same and in the same place, I can't see any reason why he can't use the earlier one.

the difference between high pressure pipes and low pressure is the pipe wire thickness on the power steering the high pressure one is the feed and low pressure is the return back to the resivour the reason the company is asking to see the pipes is so they can get the right PSI pipe

I swapped the whole lot pumps and pipes from a 96 to a 2000 I had no problems with it they both looked the same

Gilbertd wrote:

If you changed the pump, does that mean that the outlet is in a different place? If so, that would explain why the pipes are different.

the outlet was the same on diesels I'm not sure about V8 to be honest

I have looked at having them made up, but when I asked one hydraulics company in Dublin they didn't want to know. They said that they could quote me but, as a one-off item, and without have an exact pattern they were talking about €800 - €900 !!! The ones that are available at the moment, the low pressure correct pipe, and the high pressure one from the earlier car, would only cost about €250 together.

I can't find a diagram anywhere showing the routing or shape of a 1994 P38 steering pipes, which would make me think that my contact is correct in saying that the high pressure pipe from the earlier P38 will fit the later 2001 car. I can only find one diagram which, to me, would indicate that there is only one diagram for both models of car.

Again, I wonder whether anyone has any knowledge of this.

Pierre3.

your right the older models will fit new
I put a 97 pump and pipes on my 2000 2.5td p38 when I had it
also took old pipes to local hydraulic pipe makers and they told me they can make replacement ones the S shape rubber is made in time with the pipes fixed in place
