Thought I would make a poll to see how many P38's are non runners at the mo?!
Something to do!

A late 2000 running well apart from a few leaks and a 96 I'm breaking for spares. It wouldn't let me post twice so the non runner is not recorded.

Well there are only two P38's in my yard at the mo,one with the wrong flywheel and cam sprocket,one with EAS - no comms 
Worse than that is a 4.4v8 L322 with 1/2 of its rh head apart cos it lost its valve timing......

1997 4.6 HSE on Lpg 120k running well. Couple of silly electrical problems but nothing to worry me.

Both P38's are running pretty well although mine has intermittant traces of a possible future blend motor episode.

Nope me too - as I'm new to owning a P38 I'm currently charging the drained battery and awaiting my new RF

Maybe need another option in the poll, mines running (off for MOT later this week), all major problems are now sorted (I think) however there is a huge list of minors to sort out
Another one to add to the list today, thermal cutout in the EAS pump is dead, replacement on order
