    P38 Knocking At Slow Speed.... Help.

    i think its the same as what mine does, i think its just the dual mass flywheel to be honest, as you take your foot off, it takes the strain off the spring in it and it clunks back to where it was.

    p38 manual gearbox

    mines a bit of a pain to select first sometimes, better to go to second then up into first sometimes. not sure if its the selector setup rather than the clutch/gearbox though.

    Cannot sell my P38, dont want to give it away!!

    for me, even if they fit perfect they look ridiculous. just trying to be something its not, dated lines and everything else with a modern front end that will add almost no value to low value cars is money down the drain imo.;) just my opinion.

    Cannot sell my P38, dont want to give it away!!

    total waste of time, looks nothing like the real thing, and expect to get laughed at a lot by anyone with half a brain when it comes to cars.

    Engine vibration

    ive got an identical problem. Mainly noticeable in higher gears to me, when you press the accelerator a small amount get a shaking through the stick, bit like when you put a normal car in too high a gear going too slow. cant decide what it is. Thought i might get the timing checked.

    true worth

    depends how much money the dealer has in the L322, they will just get sent to the block anyway, will even lose a bit of money on the P/X's sometimes if they have good profit in the car they're trying to sell.
