    Locking Unlocking

    Thanks, is there any way of testing/eliminating this... The light in the back hatch door doesnt work either but the bulb is OK, maybe a similar issue? Steve

    Thanks, I've tried this and it is set to lights on but the main centre light doesnt work. The small ones do. The bulb is OK... Steve

    Locking Unlocking

    Hi, I have a 2001 P38 Are the indicators supposed to flash when the doors are locked and unlocked with the remote key fob. Locks and alarms OK but the indicators dont flash. I often therefore have to double check to be sure... Any idea why it no longer flashes? Cheers, Steve

    Heated Seats

    In this freezing weather I've found that my heated seats on my 2001 P38 do actually work (a bit). I didnt think they did but in these extremes it is noticable. As I say its noticable - not warm. Is there anything I can do to make them warmer - they are the coldest "working" heated seats I have...

    It's not always so straightforward, even if you have a good case, which you have. It can take months if the trader is sharp. It goes something like this 1) You issue summons - he gets 14 days to respond 2) He acknowledges receipt of summons - 14 days now extended to 28 days. 3) He files a...

    Gear Selection

    Just been checking it again. As I shift down from D to 3 to 2 to 1 it does feel as though it may be "clicking" into 1, although if it is it does seem v close to 2 but the lamp and the display both still show 2. Dont know if it could be possible to be in 1 and show 2? Also looked at Rave...

    Gear Selection

    The lights light up next to the gear lever and they match the display on the message centre. It feels as though the gear stick cant go far enough back for position 1 so the light by the stich and the message centre still display 2... Cheers, Steve

    Gear Selection

    Trouble selecting position 1 on gear selection, both ratios. Its a P38 2001 model 4.0 Auto petrol. When the selector is pulled fully back it only endgges down to position 2. Can not get to 1. Other than this it drives OK on all other options. Any idea what this could be? Thanks, Steve

    All this stuff about fixin it and trusting afterwards it is a major distraction. The more you consider this the lower your expectations will be. Thats what the trader will hope for. Its mind games time. You have been stiffed. Get your money back. Accept nothing less. Dont be distracted - up...
