    P38 seat belt

    Hi, Something doesn't seem right here. I have a '96 P38a DT and am similar height as you so need the seat about as far forward as it'll go and as low as possible but I have no problem with the length of the seat belt. It must be either tangled inside the pillar or the inertia lock is latching...

    Air in fuel pipe

    Hi, Thanks for the replies. Kork was spot on. Leak off pipes looked fine but when I started poking them about I could hear air being sucked it. Pulled them off and they'd split at the ends. New pipe and no more problem. Great stuff.

    BMW 325 TDS M51 Engine problems please help

    Just a thought... the P38 uses a variable potentiometer on the accelerator pedal does the BMW 325? If it does and its faulty, e.g. sticking, giving wrong readings this could cause the engine to rev. Would explain why fighting the pedal a bit got the revs down again.

    Air Suspension

    If you are parking on the level and the front end is going down to me this suggests you have a leak. Have you checked the front air springs? I had a similar problem with mine where the back end went down went parked a while on the level. Having replaced the air springs it is now fine. mikeateves

    Air in fuel pipe

    Hi, Just recently my '96 2.5DT has started getting air in the clear plastic fuel pipe that's between the filter and the FIP which can make it difficult to start. I've replaced this pipe but it made no difference. I'm going to fit a non-return valve which from previous posts should help but...

    lazy locking, is it a problem?

    Good thought lanmjdun. On a more serious note: if you use lazy lock does/should the car go into super-lock when everything is closed or do you have to release the remote button and press it again for the car to super-lock?

    p38 1996 remote problems

    Hi nanndy13, Good question. I'm sure one of the previous threads on this forum had photos of the different receivers but I can't find it. I'll see if I've still got my old RF receiver and see how it differs from the new one - it might be necessary to open it up to tell.
