Hi.

Have a look through the previous threads and see if there is one with info on this fault. I think it is at the bottom of the forum page, but you'll have to check. Come back if you have any probs.

Cheers, Nick.

Unfortunately you more than likely have a blown head gasket. Get it checked out (sniff test) by a specialist.
Its the major downside of the P38 diesel, they are really prone to blowing the head gasket.
