So I found out that the P.O. fitted shitpart poly bushes to my radius arms, I’m looking at powerflow ( purple)
To replace them, and maybe the panhard aswell, anyone used these ?

Was thinking it would be a good idea to either buy a wreath, or send donations to marks wife to do with as she feels fit, he was a much liked character here, both by those of us who meet him and those who hadn’t.
Let me know your thoughts.

So the past few weeks I’ve had a problem that I’m chasing, starts fine, runs fine till I’m in 4th gear, say at 40-50 mph, it then acts like it’s a dropped a few cylinders, knock it into neutral, give it a few throttles and it goes back on eight, yesterday it did it but stalled, only the once, normally it will just go really low and I can catch it.
Changed plugs, TPS, MAF, gonna swap CPS today, fuel pump is 18 months old, so I don’t think it’s that,
My initial thought was the maf, maybe this is why my lpg is acting up, any ideas appreciated, plugging in diagnostics today to see if any stored faults.

For a while now, I’ve been chasing a sound, that I can only describe as a loose washer ring !
It only happens when I go over speed humps, will admit I don’t slow down for them.
Has anyone else got this sound, I’ve triple checked every nut, bolt, washer and Bush under the car, it’s definitely from the front somewhere.
Only thing In the pipe line to change is radius arm bushes, P.O. put s*;tpart yellow poly bushes, that somehow I didn’t notice till a few months back. There being changed back to OEM bushes.
Any ideas are welcomed.

I see we seem to be getting hit with a lot of spam recently, we also seem to have plenty of members who have joined but never introduced themselves or posted anything.
It’s been a while since I joined and can’t remember if we had to confirm that we’re not a robot sending out spam, I know this could be a headache to install and that Gordon has his own life away from here, if it involved a small cost I’d certainly donate just to stop these annoying posts..

You have to see to believe,,

I’ve got a gems that I’ve done the heads on, it ticks over for hours ok, but directly it's out under load it will overheat, I’ve changed rad, stat, repaired leaking Orings and pipes, checked water pump, flushed the system twice, driving me nuts. I’m thinking there’s a problem with the block.
I’m wondering if I can put a Thor short engine with flywheel and cps , I can’t see why not, maybe a few wire swaps to cps. Anyone done this before.
Also will a 4.0 ecu run a 4.6 ? Again I can’t see why not as only stroked, same size bores ect.

Looking for what to use to clean the walnut trim back to something shiny, I’ve seen 3 stage cleaners/ polishes on eBay, has anyone used them ?

I’ve just been offered an alpine head unit, with code and manual, £75.
If anyone’s interested let me know ASAP

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas and happy new year..

So I go to start the beast and I get click click, then the fuse box relays sound like I’m winding something up.
Seems from diagnostic in the dark that main cable to fuse box has fried,, will find out when it’s light , luckily I have a spare

I’m pissed off with my lpg making more noise than the engine, plus bloody thing works one day, not the next, anyone got a recommendation of there system ?
I’m losing patience with it now, either it runs right or it goes into spaz mode, at the minute I’d say it’s running on 4 cylinders when on lpg, I know my mixtures are up the creek since I ran for 2 days with the wrong O2 sensors, it’s since had 2 , 70mile trips on petrol, but the mixture is still rich ( bent down to pump rear tyre, nearly choked) so I guess it needs changing by diagnostics..

Just done heads on a 4.6, noticed that the gear shift was flashing, just want to confirm my diagnosis which is xyz switch is knackered, couldn’t actually get the gear shift into low to try and shock it, apparently it’s been like it a while and drives ok, so I’m thinking the xyz has moved but not fully.
Answers on a postcard please

The other half bought me a tee shirt.

Hopefully the link works, my first attempt at sharing a pic.

So mot booked for Friday, so finally put my stainless high flow cats on, definitely sounds throatier.
Went out to the shops, on the way back had a boy racer behind me, came off a roundabout and hit sports and floored it, bye bye boy racer, it took off, I eased of at ???mph as I had to turn off. ( let's just say it was well into 3 digits ) 😁
Apart from main power difference I've noticed she's ticking ove at 7-750, is this the norm ?
Is she in learning mode ?
I had to use the lamdas that came with the cats ( wrong plug, swapped them over) I'm wondering if I've put wires the wrong way, I swapped wire for wire, can't see that gems would be wired differently !

Here we go again ( this car is testing my patience) ..
Seems as though I have a whine from the gearbox, I'm thinking it's the transfer box as that seems to be the norm,, my question is, is it normally the viscous that go ?
If so has anyone ever replaced the bearings in one ?
This is the last thing I'm doing on this car, next problem it goes up for sale.
I've got a engine that is so quiet, the lpg injectors are noisier,
suspension that never sags,
everything works as should, ( even the heated seats)
I've done so much and still it wants to throw other problems at me,
i think this p38 should have an exorcism or something, it's definitely possessed by the p38 gremlin,,

I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere, but anyone know the size of the o-rings for the heater matrix, took my seats out to repair the heater elements and found a wet carpet, suppose it had to happen at some point, lol,

Since I bought my car , 2 years ago. I've had a atf leak from the front, never drastic, just a dusting on bottom rad cover, so today I decided to find out why.
R/H nut came undone easy, o ring looked ok, on to the L/H side, a different story , didn't want to move, covered in plusgas and left to soak in.
Got the nut to move, but hey ho, it stripped every bit of thread off the rad. So apart from that I go inspecting the o ring, what o ring ? There isn't one fitted, might explain why it was yanked up so tight,, why do people mess with things they know nothing about ?

I've changed my abs pump as fairy lights were taking an age to go out want to do a fluid flush, but I'm on my own. Can I use an easy bleed on these systems ? ( bottle to wheel type)

Normally I just let things go, but this seller on flea bay has p*^%#+d me off,
I bought a engine , was to be with me within 7 days latest, a week goes by nothing, so I call them, told it's on its way, be with me Tuesday, so I'm waiting round Tuesday, nothing arrives, call them Wednesday morning, apologies and such crap, there was a problem, be with you Friday, surprise surprise it didn't arrive, now it seems they won't answer phone to me, eventually I get through and tear them a new arse on Monday afternoon, it will be with me 100% Wednesday morning,, luckily I didn't hold my breath, it didn't arrive, now I'm steam out my ears mad, and I let them know, excuse this time, oil contamination during transit,, they promised for the Friday first thing, with my postage costs back as compensation .. it arrived late Friday afternoon, 20 days after I purchased and paid. still waiting for my refund of postage, ( it won't happen ) then checked there feedback, seems even though there 4x4 breakers, which many give a great service, this lot are compulsive liars,, long and short is I wouldn't advise anyone to deal with these morons unless your in no hurry and like spending time on the phone
