Great Richard! Congrats to that faithful companion you got there!

Hi, I have the Heko on my RRP38, they have clips and go in the window channel. They are let's say acceptable.
I would like to try something else though, I had in the past ClimAir on the D1 and they were better built.

Could one of the codes be for GCC/Arab countries?

The electrochromatic mirrors are very expensive regardless of brand/model ... I did read somewhere they are no longer produced for the RRP38, so anything you can actually get your hands on is the last of the last ...

The tailgate "rubbish holder" is actually a fair idea, but it does require a lot of sheetmetal trimming to make it work ... and nevermind the usefulness, you can store only something long/large, light, and not bulky, like an umbrella or triangle ...

A weird one ... putting back together the centre console (cubby you call it?), it finally came time to fit the rear vents, old set I had was broken.
I've noticed they fit with screws on two tabs on the lower part of the vents, from the sides, but INSIDE the console, and I seem not to be able to find an access to it.... looked in the Workshop Manual but while it details how to remove the vents in the dash, does not say anything about the rear ones in the console ... any ideas?
Will NOT make a hole in the leather, before you suggest that ha ha

Not necessarily you should replace, try first to calibrate it, or use the Nano to see it is moves within the parameters.

Wandering out of P38 territory, I have a friend with a 1992 Classic and his daughter got hit by a bonehead, damaging the front right area (driver's side for you that drive on the wrong side of the road).
We managed to find everything but the indicator ... they seem hard to come by at a decent price. Anyone has one laying around?

I always looked at these things with interest, but also as above I believe this is only for Diesels.
Same for the "gearbox", it has some stuff on the sides.
Butcher it and try it!

Hi jacckk, I made the same job earlier this year and I used open-cell foam used for car insulation. Any good car-audio shop could have it, or search online there are lots of options. No thicker than 5-6mm (even if the foam, being open cell, compresses).

Greetings to all of you in this nice place!
Looking forward to a good 2022 to everyone!

Hi fellas been away long got much work elsewhere and little time, but I have managed to get the dash in, console and switches/buttons, radio and hevac and lo and behold most of it works! Still got to take some photos but ... getting there.
Got a couple questions though:

• switches: most if the "green" small bulbs are gone, I was horrified to find out they cost over 8gbp apiece! My my ... any alternatives you have tried?
• instrument cluster. I've fitted the cluster to a new dash (mine was warped) and the cluster fits ... funny, like too far back which means too much "inside" its place. This leaves gaps especially on the sides, which once you fit the surround (the one with the fuel cap opener) it looks awful. Tried fitting another couple times just to make sure I did not bend anything out of place, but still ... all 4 screws tight without issues. What has gone wrong?

All going well, I am left with this "problem" above so I can fit the steering wheel and steering column covers, a few odds and ends and get it out of the garage, insurance, MOT and then to sort out the rest, but at least to become mobile...

Hi there!
I think there is not comparison, this place is the place to be :-)

That is not bad at all! Cheers!

Nice find...saw it time ago and decided 18 pounds was just too much. I've instead given the spring to be coated with new zinc and hope will be fine ...

Wow ... you really know how to spend a day lol :-)

On mine, the bronze inner part of a couple of valves in the valve block were worn, too much to hold air, and it was leaking from there. I know it might be a rare case, but I would have never guessed it ... that part is not available, and it has to be sourced from some another "healty" donor block.

DavidAll, thanks for the photos! Will reroute and update!

Garvin where did you get new steering wheel switches? Are they still available?

Thanks Richard, always a hlping hand. Grrr ... will pass it where it goes - and this solves also the question of what was clipped in the underside of the dash, which was next he he ...

Sorry me bad I thought it was a Thor, saw after the orange blinkers ....

Leolito without looking in the ETM just a guess: fuel filler release button?

Yes, KCR, you were right spot on! I've found the switch and indeed it is that one! (BTW still owe you an email for the parts!)

Now gents I've got another question .... while looking at photos such as this:

I've noticed -regardless is RHD, I've seen several other photos - the main loom going to the central console - where the yellow corrugated cable protection makes an "Y" close to the steering, the cables go "above" the metal frame, where in mine they have remained below. Maybe I did not paid attention when was refitting the dash ...
Any of you who has gone thru the same pain care to remember if it makes any difference at all? Should I pass the loom above just in case something remains short somewhere?

I've promised photos, promise I will make :-)

Nice ride!
How is that engine going comparing to the 'standard' Thor? Anything interesting worth sharing?

Nice find!
