    P38 2.5 dhse - strange starting issue only every 3 starts

    Datatek - the battery came with a sticker on it stating not to charge so I didn’t charge it before fitting. I purchased it from battery mega store as suggested in other threads/posts. Should I try charging it or possibly contact battery mega store and see what they say.

    P38 2.5 dhse - strange starting issue only every 3 starts

    Hi. I have just fitted a brand new hankook 1000ah battery. The voltages from the nanocom readings are with the ignition on not running. I would assume the new battery isn’t dead out of the box? What should a good battery read? I have also changed the regulator for the uprated one as suggested...

    Would this be the correct regulator? Or does it have to have the i at the end like suggested by datatek? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172938221561?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NxD02QIRSMy&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=N3YT6ZcTRc2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    P38 2.5 dhse - strange starting issue only every 3 starts

    Thanks for the replies chaps. I’ll recheck the voltage when running and also before starting/glow plugs on etc tomorrow. Looks like the regulator upgrade is the way forward to rule out another possible cause. It’s just funny how it repeats the same sequence every three starts even after a long...
