No5, there is a flexi as such on the exhaust manifold, as morat says, get a test done on the engine, the rest are doable if your mechanicly minded, nothing that we haven’t encountered before..it’s near on 20 yrs old , so gonna need some tlc, then your good for the next 20yrs..
Gonna have to look at mine now, I don’t think it displays time or date on it, might be wrong though.
As you’ve got it out and heads off, I’d throw a fresh set of rings in as well, there cheap enough, it gives you piece of mind that the oil rings are good at the same time
Paul, welcome to the sane site,, looks like you have a collection, jcb, Noble,, you must have a very patient wife 😂🤣

Hi and many thanks for the welcome, it’s really appreciated.
It’s a 99 plate autobiography (4.6 GEMs) in a dark metallic blue, quite a tidy vehicle TBH just needs a bit of TLC here and there with the usual things like tramlining and air suspension issues and most recently an issue with it overheating which I hope didn’t do any serious damage so keeping a close eye on that one at the moment. Like I said it’s a steep learning curve for me and nice to know I’m among some like minded enthusiasts.
In terms of location I’m not too far from Barnard Castle
Thanks again for the reply
First thing to check is the rad isn’t blocked, had a few gems with blocked rads where no antifreeze had been used,,welcome to the world of not having a weekend free, lol,, there will always be something to play with being a p38 owner 😂🤣
Well done guys, I know you will always wipe them off when you see them,,
We’ve been invaded,,

I had the LEDs from powerful uk and unfortunately I had to return them as they lasted around 6-7 months.
It was pretty good while it lasted though ... will try the OSRAMs when I gather some $$$ for them.
Wow, had mine a couple of years with no problems,,
My led bulbs ( powerfuluk.com ) light up the kerb pretty good, beam is excellent, OB recommended them but I was scared off by the price then ( £99) , when they dropped to half of that I bit the bullet, best £47 I’ve spent on the old girl,, I can now see where I’m going, not been flashed at either which was a regular occurrence while trying other bulbs
Well this has made me laugh, how did he ever pass the tester exam, what a complete muppet, I’d go in there, get his boss and educate the idiots, also tell him your having your viscous checked Incase he’s buggered that,, I’ve had rangerovers for many years now, but luckily have a good clued up guy who looks after mine ,, any advisories he writes on a bit of paper and leaves in the center consul, lol
BOING ! Zebedee arrived,, I said the other night I’d trod on a Brian, to the other half, unintentionally I might add, as her daughter would of thrown a fit, gotta love the magic roundabout 👍
Hhmmm, interesting, I’ve been offered a set of black leather seats from a 2020 hi line Audi for £50, was thinking of changing mine as these are smart to say the least
I might be wrong, but didn’t the drop links have an Allen key in the end of the thread so you can tighten them up,,
Haven’t been on much lately so miss chipping in on this thread, I do the reverse disc to get the hub out, then a 32 oz ball pen hammer to pneumatic shock anything else, believe me it’s 10x better than a lump hammer, precise and does the job, hub carrier a 2 leg puller on the bottom, a few whacks and they pop,, when Rick popped down we did both sides in 3 hrs with tea breaks, only had one that need oxyacetylene to persuade a top ball joint to move, like Marty I’ve done quite a few ..
As Richard says, it’s a leak or purge pump on secondary system, not something we see over here so I’m afraid it’s down to your expertise with this one.
I’m not even going to list one thing, I could fill this page with the stuff that has to go, unfortunately I’m in the middle of a large shed build and guess where everything is stored 🙄🙄
40 seconds on start up sounds like your brakes need bleeding, mine was like that till I bled them , now it’s around the 10 second mark.
Bubbling, can’t remember the last time I saw a battery that wasn’t sealed,, it’s not original is it 🤣😂
