No confusion on location, its just my EAS is extremely noisy and vibrates a lot which makes me wonder if what I'm feeling is the EAS vibration through the engine bay rather than the ABS. People are saying the abs is quite noisy but Im not hearing it.
Still not sure I can hear the accumulator. I put my ear right to it, I could feel vibration but that could be the eas causing that. The brakes feel no different to before, they work & there are no dash warnings so it must be working I guess.
It does sound similar to that Orangebean.
I do get the clicking noise as well but my car is a 1999 Thor and from what I am reading the modulator kit does not apply as RR updated the modulator.
I will have a listen tomorrow but my EAS is quite noisy, I think its doing overtime as I need to change my front air springs, a job I'm not looking forward to on the side of the road.
The brakes have always been funny ever since ive had the car. It has never bothered me too much as Ive always had excellent braking power but occasionally the braking would feel weird,usually at slow speed, Sometimes feeling/hearing a judder on the pedal .
I decided to change the accumulator today as I got a new one cheap but I cant hear the pump going and when I think about it I dont think I ever have, the only thing I hear is the eas compressor.
How do I test to see if the accumulator or pump is working. Should the pump make a noise or vibrate.
Interesting stuff. Do you have a web site or is it a case of demand and supply?
Registering the car was a pain for me as I didn't speak French . £150 for certificate from Land Rover, luckily managed to get a pair of L/H headlights from ebay whilst in the Uk for £100. watching them perform the contrôle technique brought a lump to the throat of which they failed it, luckily small issues that I fixed but what I wasnt prepared for was the registration cost, despite being over 10 years old and receiving 50% reduction on cost it still cost near €500 to register for French plates.
I am now in the process of transferring the motorbike, luckily its over 30 years old and doesn't require the certificate of conformity so straight sailing hopefully. Cant believe MOT's are not required for bikes here.
Driving on the autoroutes are bliss, as you say hardly any traffic compared to the Uk.
In town is a completely different story though, especially where I live. Even when there are road markers painted on the road guiding you to the correct side at junctions etc the French just get confused making it a free for all.
The stupid archaic give way to the right unless your on a priority road. We have a ton of side roads here of which I am constantly slowing down in awareness that the French treat this rule. They dont slow down and just pull straight out on you.
Ive heard the government are trying to change this rule but how true that is.
Ive also just read that there are old roundabouts and new roundabouts, WTF. Most here are give way to the left but Ive read there are still old roundabout where you give way to the right, so if your already on the roundabout you have to give way to traffic joining it.
Im sure your well adversed to all rules and regs here though but even after 18 months I'm still very weary.
You say your workshop, is that for RR or Yachts?
We stayed in Mougins last year, wasn't impressed with Cannes or St Tropez that much but really liked Antibes.
We dont use the P38 for long distance though, even though its €1.17 for petrol here . The mrs has a Citroen Xsara Picasso that does about 70mpg compared to 20mpg but the p38 gets used daily here in Dijon.
Its a good location here for travel, not far from the borders. Went to Italy a few weeks back to Mont Blanc. Saw a lot of P38's with British plates there. Wasn't you buy chance ?
Thanks for the invite Gilbertd.
It was very quiet on the other side and as you have helped me through the years I thought I'd follow.
Originally from Christchurch Dorset moved to Dijon -France 18 months ago and brought the P38 with.Paying 3 x the insurance I was in the Uk but I just cant give it up and I hate left hand drives.
a bientôt
