Click to expand...

there's a bright side to p38 ownership??

a little hole in your theory, if you didnt have the p38, you wouldnt have had the 'issues' and wouldnt haave needed this site!!!
 
have come to the conclusion that having a p38 is like having a boil on your bum::( you know its there but learn to live with it rather than face the fear of having it lanced:eek::eek:

Only had mine about a month and had to carry out a whole range of niggly little things due mainly to wear and tear. It makes some funny noises sometimes which strike a panic attack but next time they are gone. EAS faults flash up and then go away. Oil leaks now fixed and have been reduced to a slight drip. Cruise control does not work and the air con needs a new condenser which I managed to get from a write off ( rear end) for under £40. Every time I get in it there is a lottery as to what it will be next that is not working. BUT ...I have fallen for this big goddess ...Oh yes she must be a woman .... a man would never be that temperamental or illogical or expensive. More of a mistress really as I only use her at weekends and only then provided she has not got a headache.....her name is Rosie by the way.:doh:
 
hi bill,was in much the same boat as yourself.i only took on my expensive mistress in april:D and as you say,they kind of do something for you that makes you want to return the favour;);) hopefully i have the old girl performing again,as she is now back on the streets anyway.:rolleyes: hope you get sorted soon as she will be well worth the effort.
p.s. as j says before me,check for a split pipe on cruise control (common problem):high5:
