Hi Why did I buy this P38 diesel 2.5, drove fine the day I collected it. Got home, now overnight the indicator lights are on all the time, so I reset the alarm using the blip and just turns over. So after hours of searching the net, found the sync mate to diagnose the problem. One red flash = no wake up from the edc or motronic ems. I just love todays vehicles, why did they let the geeks in ? Keep It Simple Stupid KISS. Give me a old landy go anywhere and everything designed to be fixed by a box of spanners.
P38 nightmare in a bubble car.:confused:

It was operator error...I did not see the II as postion 2 ign on, that is why ye light did not lighteth. There was no ign feed to the ECU etc hence the Red light misread.:eek: Sync mate:clap2:

Now I have problem with both front door lock in op, So it moves and boy we are most pleased. Tailgate does not lock as well. So I will look at that later. I may put a manual switch in to lock the tailgate.

Ve Hav se vays and mez to make you vork...:D

Thanks to all that posted. Rick the Pick next stop for the doors.
Anyway we are off to fight with the DVLA and get the disabled tax sorted to plg, went Friday and everyone in Peterborough knew except us yocals that they were on strike.

Can the self employed go on strike? Can we withold our tax money ?
No. They are talking of closing the branches of the DVLA and if that happens then they will have to change the rules on a load of things and let us do it all on-line or at the Post Office.

Rule Brittainia.:dance:

Unfortunately, I've lost the combination to this bank.]

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Update :
Front DOORS both motors have burned out, I have a cunning plan and if it works will post alternative device's.
Drivers door controls the rear tailgate, gone to locking as a manual.
It would seem that the P38 is a excellent vehicle full of gimmicks that drive you insane.
I therefore suggest the song " I think I'm going out of my mind over you " as the official P38 song.
