    Avoid these P38's for sale!

    Like i said, i set this hoping people will post given more detail on the cars they have seen, giving potential buyers a heads up. Wish i had had someone do that when i was first looking, my first P38 was a nightmare (admittedly my fault for rushing into), and it could have easily been avoided...

    Avoid these P38's for sale!

    The "gent" was quite a comical salesman. Wished him all the best, while hoping and saying that no one is gullible/naive enough to buy it! While the ltd. edition have some appeal, i prefer to keep it simple. Nice Vogue, bottomed out in deprecation now - will only get the money back or watch as...

    Devon - Harmon Kardon Amplifier

    Hi Thanks for the reply; sorry for my late one ! I read about the dodgy wiring and I will have a clean up of the ends. I have no bass in my speakers (all sounds like tweeters) and the sub is temperamental (mostly off but booms when it cuts in) would Suggest dodgy connection or bad wiring but...

    Hill descent/Traction Control/High temperature with poor starting

    Thanks for the reply - the starter motor turns fine (i replaced the battery with a Bosch S5 and had a diagnostic check on the SM and Alt and both are in very good order). It is intermittent - when the lights are off it starts fine off 1 turn. When they are on - trouble starting. Taking it it...

    Hill descent/Traction Control/High temperature with poor starting

    Thanks for the reply - did you get the eng temp gauge at the same time also? I have replaced the brake switch. Its just weird that it all happens at the same time and delays start up. I think the ecm is getting a wrong reading on first ignition for the engine temperature and is stopping...

    Hill descent/Traction Control/High temperature with poor starting

    Having a progressive problem with my "04 TD4. Hill descent and Traction Control lights and the temperature readout is at high at first ignition. This has recently developed where it has given poor starting and many turns of the starter motor to get it going (it is intermittent but is occurring...

    Burning Smell? Pre ignition

    I had a spare hour last night and got under the bonnet - did the easiest check of multimeter across the terminals - 12.17v! New battery this weekend will hopefully sort it!

    £3k isnt to bad for that car at your age - i'm 22 and mine came to £850 with 1 year n/c and advanced driving etc. I get charged extra due to been in the forces - reckon i'm some boy racer!

    Burning Smell? Pre ignition

    Thanks, Already checked for any shorting couldn't see any - think im going to have to play the guessing game and get all the resistances for the sensors in that area. Had poor starting recently, 3 amigos pop up, and my AC fan unit was turning over erratically. Might all be linked!

    Burning Smell? Pre ignition

    Whenever i go onto preignition the smell comes up - it is strongest near the fuel rail sensor (above the flywheel). Ive disconnected that to see if the smell went but it was still there. It varies in strength and occurs while driving to - sometimes coming into the cabin and smelt up to 15m...

    Burning Smell? Pre ignition

    I have a 2004 TD4 and i am getting a burning smell (like clutch). It isn't the clutch as i have tested and found out that on pre ignition the smell is present - so it is electrical. The engine is cold so it i am thinking it could be reversed polarity? however i haven't touched any of the...
