Morning Spud & other Victims of this problem I have been there too The first time i thought "dumb s**t" youve left the lights on got a jump and started no problem. 2nd time it happened i made sure it hadnt left anything swictched on. what i have noticed is if you park the vehicle in a...

Tim I had the same questions when I insured my P38 the first time here in belgium. what i did was photocopy the pages relating to it from the owners handbook and fax them to them - that seemed to do the trick PC A additional alarm was fitted too but the initial exp of the OEM alarm...

Hiya RPM if you can get yourself a copy of the handbook (i got mine via E**y) I know its available via RAVE but the handbook fits nicely in the glove-box & is very handy for in-set reference on say the various locking modes etc as mentioned RAVE is available from various downloads sites...

Yep I agree With sean when i leave our other vehicles at home for more than a week - stick them on a trickle charge with the attached defender it has a main turnkey and that gets turned off at the end of every weekend

Hiya grange I run on my P38 2x130w H1 ring rally bulbs on the headlights and to date i have had no problems - they are certainly bright but & they are not used constently on on the main dip i have uprated Philips "50% plus" bulbs which are quite good. I was tempted to put 90w as...

Hiya Canyon Silly question but are just getting a battery low warning on the dash or are the batteries indeed low i.e you need to stand really close to get the doors to un-lock? with mine i changed both sets in june and sometimes i need to be up close othertimes they will fire the doors from...

I agree with Wills give the man a slap with a wet K&N! Instead of plumbing in new foglights - have you thought of just up-grading the main beams? have a nice one

Mornin I agree with GeekFreek to a point The boost box is the cheaper alternative. I had the "full nine yards" done up at Fearns last June (new uprated chip & fullsize intercooler) & boy o boy do you notice the difference Fearns quote output at up around 196BHP depending on conditions -...

& who said music-hall is dead!

Hiya For whats its worth you can get a alpine head unit out using some 5mm or wider cable binders - one in each slot on the top and a little fumble & bingo

Hiya Redrange do you mean this .... 4.0/4.6/P38A Air Box Replacement have a nice one

Hiya modelman anything to whatch out for inparticular when changing the glow-plugs i notice the injestor structure above need removing i have done the job on perkins Series II´s motors before - nothing to that but looking at the P38 BMW motor theres a lot more plastic and intake stuff

I would agree with Lanmjdun I sourced mine out of Paddocks and picked them up whilst in the Matlock area 6 went for the std repl disk with Mintex pads was a real straight forward job to change all four the disks on the p38 come away with just two phili grub screws what i did was clean...

Morning Alfonso Regarding the EGR & Cat On the vehicle pictured a Series III hybrid running a 300 ex Disco Motor & boxes the EGR Was removed (blanked off) However the big difference was the Cat when I had the intercooler done I was recomended to use bigger bore Exhaust & if possible remove...

Hiya macca for what its worth have you tried these chaps the supply a selection of cold-usage stuff & are US / canada based When i lived in minnesota we used the plug-in block-heaters and in the trucks the sump heaters and when i was way up north Yukon / Alaska i hitched with several of...

Hiya Simond regarding the Diesel usage just simply book it in a a good commercial Diesel fitters a hr with them will solve your problems. Yrs Ago i was dinking about with a series II SWB with a perkins and in the end put it in to a local diesel specialist and bingo problem found - OK it...

Hiya I agree with landy10 at the end of the day you cannot expect miracles with a plug in box I had a new chip done on mine with the 3x larger intercooler and it goes like a train - yep on heavy accelaration it sometimes smokes but it very very rarely changes down even at high speeds and...

Hi Wills why doesnt he put a KN filter on so it breathes easier ...... daja vu
