hi all, I have a p38, it never does long journeys, in cold weather it struggles to start, what's happening is turn key turning over as such but sounds like a bag ot spanners 4/5 goes like this and it starts with a load of black smoke, and then its fine all day, change heater plugs last april, we seem to have starting problems every year like this when its cold and damp any ideas cheers dd

hi all, could someone tell me if I need extended brake hoses for a 2" lift cheers dd

hi, I had this problem couple years back with the longer stub, and my thoughts were,there wasn't enough thread on it to reach my hub so I put an extra washer on, just a thought,dd

hi,one key for all doors and fuel cap at last, I was fed up with loads of keys on my keyring so done a search, http://www.tanygraig.force9.co.uk/John/locks.htm it took me an hour to change the lock in the fuel cap, it's abit fiddly but sorted, this would do in archives, it also shows you how to remove a tyre and refit it, dd

that will do nicely, thks si, and everyone who responded,dd

hi, found spring info in the archives,http://www.red90.ca/rovers/springinfo.html, would anything in there suit my truck, I shoot so would need a bit of lift clearance, I also have a heavy bumper with winch,i am a builder and use my truck for work,carrying cement bricks ect, but not on a regular basis, where I shoot ground pretty uneven, its mainly road use I do, I think of 2" lift, not to many mods to do, only fitting 235x85x16x A/T after cheers dd

I think I should be looking at what the truck needs, rather than what I want it to look like, good reading just trying to get my head round the spring poundage all confusing for me, I do some searching as you advised, cheers dd

don't know really, but these 2" lifts do seem popular and the front suspension seems a bit low on the front, also the passenger rear side is lower than the other, so while changing it might aswell go for the lift

well the springs in the picture are heavy duty, thinking will the ride be to hard, will I have to alter the brake hoses ?

hi all, thinking of putting a 2" lift kit on my 1987 defender 90, only extras it has are a heavy bulbar, winch,and a alloy sump guard, so wondering which kit is best for me, after the suspension kit I will be fitting 235x85x16 a/t wheels, any ideas,something like this cheers dd

hi all, wifes p38 1998 2.5 dt, crankshaft pulley went two years ago changed, now its gone again, whats causing it, this is the second one in two years, did I tighten the crankshaft bolt enough ?? dd

that will do thanks lads, dd

hi all, I would like to know the dimensions for a 235x85x16 a/t tyre when fully inflated, has i'm having a spare wheel cover made to my own design and he needs the size of the wheel, diameter and width, cheers dd

that's great saved me a bit of hassle, thanks dd
