Hi all
Ok, Ive now had my 99 P38 for 2 months and covered a shade under 2000 miles, relatively trouble free, though Ive had a few quirky yet expected things.
One thing that happened yesterday and driving in to work today though engine was running rough, not too bad, but noticeably with a loss of power. Sounded like there was blowing, possibly from the exhaust, so I was thinking a trip to KwikFit was in order
Anyway, got to work, lifted the bonnet and noticed a lead had popped off a spark plug, drivers side, the one at the furthest point towards the back of the engine bay. A perfect candidate for causing rough running. So put it back on, and will see how it runs on the way home tonight.
Its done about 30 miles in this state, so Im hoping no damage will have occurred as a result of ??
It also guzzled fuel in that 30 miles like no other time.
Other issues I have heater o-rings have started leaking, coolant loss very slow, but drivers side floor getting damp, lots of posts and info on this, but conflicting info at that. How simple to replace and how long? Ive seen 2hrs to the stealers 12 hours. Im pretty handy at fixing things with applied common sense, and so if it is a DIY job to a newb, then please tell me to go for it, or get it done at a garage if not.
EAS I always leave it parked on max height at the moment to see if its leaking as it does some odd things. Its stayed at max height everytime apart from when left for 2 days and it, well dropped to various heights on each corner lol, but been perfect since. Not overly concerned, its a P38 with EAS
SRS light is on. Any quick fixes?
Oh yeah, and out driving in the rain the other day, and the passenger seat had a clicking noise coming from under it, electronic noise for sure. Would like click 5-10 times, stop, then kick in again a minute or so later. Not heard it since. Was definitely coming from directly under the seat itself??
Cheers
Vinny
