I think it may be the filter inside the box. I am checking it cold on idle. Car is level and been through the gears. Im going to drop the sump later today and change the filter etc. I'll keep you all posted

Lol, sorry my mistake. I ment the front, as apposed to the bottom where I'm draining it. It def is the gearbox. The oil cooler was fine no issues there. So I'm starting to think about a possible blockage?

I must be doing something wrong. although i cant see what. when i take the bung out of the bottom i only get around 2.5 out. then when i refill from the side it will only take 2.5. ivg done through the gears and the level stays the same... could there be a blockage or something like that?

Good Evening All. Well Ive Well And Truly ****ed the Mrs off now. It all started a couple of weeks ago when i was offered an 1999 P38 diesel of a friend of a friend with light front enf damage and no key. I had a key ordered from stratstone and had the car recovered to my house. Anyway...

I could only dream of a 17.3 lol my best was at 60, really light foot 16.1. Average around town, like I say, mid 8's. I need to to look furthering this! Grrrrrrrrrr

Hi tom, Im wondering if it's worth upgrading my Hawkeye. I've not had it done since selling my p38, but looking like I need to. I'm thinking that if the airflow meter has a fault it will show up, as with any other ecu related faults.

Just had a look at it fuelly. That's a really good tool! Your getting better than me. By a long shot... My best is 15 compared to your 20. Where is I'm averaging less than 10 around town.

Hi saint, is ur 15.3 around town or on a run?

Hi all, we'll I've been struggling with MPG for a while, being on gas I've never taken much notice of the ones board computer unitll a couple of days ago, I couldn't get to a garage that sold sold and so decided to drive home on petrol. About 95 miles. I though as I was sat on the motorway I'd...

I had this with a 2000 p38. Turned out to be a loose reply in the fusebox under the dash

Update, I spoke to them today and I've got to give them a call with my gearbox number. It should be around 450 so as soon as I have it I'll get it fitted and send my back. I'll let you know how I get on

I will do. I've not had chance to give them a call yet, but will tomorrow.

That made for good reading thanks. I'll going to give them a call tomorrow and see if I can buy one off the shelf. I can use the ramp at a pals garage but don't think he would be to happy with it being off the road for a week or so while they turn it round. The main thing is, a couple of people...

I mean the torque converter is okay.. Not on lol

Thanks for the input Saint. I was looking over previous threads and saw people talking about the LUC... I'm not sure what this would involve. Would this mean the TC was on and I'd need a new gearbox?

I took the car out today, tested it on a sloping hill near our house, nothing steep. First when up in auto, 25mph for about 3 seconds had a really strange vibration, almost like when you are on the motorway doing about 70 and someone opens a rear window.. as that went when i got to around 35mph...

Hi James. When you say locks up, what do you mean?

Hi, So last weekend I stripped the gearbox off with a pal and replaced the crank shafts oil seal. Built her back and all was good in my world... For about 5 days... I drove around 700 miles this week and have noticed a slight intermittent vibration at about 30 - 50 mph. After looking around on...

thanks for the help, right ive changed all the breather pipes, no joy, ive ended up buying a new crank shaft seal and we are in the process of removing the gearbox to replace it.. i'll let you kno how i get on.. needless to say, im starting to get a little stressed lol

Well spoke to the stealer today £72 with the vat, not to bad. Should be here in the morning. so fingers crossed!
