I am getting the ignition key warning... Message tells me the key is in when I turn ignition off - back one step on the key. I turn it back two more steps to remove key and message goes. Then when I open a door the ignition key message comes back on and car beeps. Message goes off after about...

Got the heat shield off the drivers side. A right b-----d of a job. Had to burn a couple of bolts out. The manifold is blowing. Slightly on the last joint which quickly seals when warm. More so on the "concertina" section. Where is the best place to get a replacement? Cheers

I have Toyo Open Country All Terrain tyres on mine. M+S rating and excellent on snow and ice, both up hill and down. Obviously u need to drive in accordance with conditions. If u do so u won't get stuck with these tyres. They are about £145 each on tyre shopper, that's fitted.

I also had same problem. Cured by a puff of graphite powder down barrel. Cost about £1.50 from local hardware shop.

Ok, Will check out the manifold. Cheers

Hi, It's petrol not diesel...

My P38 is very noisy on start up when cold. Sounds as though exhaust has completely blown. After about 20 seconds it quite a down then drives OK. When warm it starts OK I.e. no excessive noise. It's a 4.0 petrol, 2001 model. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve

Thank you

Hi, What carb did you get. I am considering changing mine and would welcome advice. I currently have Weber fitted. Cheers

Hi, I want to set correct timing on my S3 engine. According to book there are different settings dependant on compression ratio. How do I find out which compression ratio my 2.25 petrol engine is. Thanks. Steve

Thanks, Am looking at 2007 models so hopefully some issuer resolved?

Hi Hippo, What years do u mean by a later model...

Not a lot good said about the RR Sport. A bit surprised really. Is the full sized RR, 2007/2008 likely to be any more reliable...

Donp38, what do you mean - don't go for a RR sport at all or don't go for the 3.6? Ps my P38 only averages 12 mpg where I live in the hills!

Thanks, Is the l322, 2007 model just as unreliable? Problem is its nearly 1ft longer than my p38 so it may not fit in my garage hence going for the Sport...

I had hoped they may be more reliable than my P38... Thought the 2.7 may be a bit sluggish...perhaps not.

Looking to change my P38 for a RR Sport. Probably a 2007 model. Unsure about 2.7 or 3.6. Any advice appreciated. Cheers.

After changing my P38 for a RR Sport 2007 model most likely. Not sure if I should opt for 2.7 or 3.6. Any advice appreciated.

What can the Faultmate do that the nanocom can't do?
