    P38 Stumbling is back!

    Interesting, I have the same problem with my 2000 Vogue 4.6, she kind of falters then picks up again. Interestingly I always get a hissing when I open the filler cap to refuel too. Whats the school of thought on this, should it be vented or not?? Will it make a significant difference.

    Travelling the Middle East?

    Full marks for your low profile, not something I've done we're mostly med profile, around Kabul. Was just trying to get my point over, couldn't care less if someone does something stupid as long as they make an informed decision, I just get ****ed when they expect someone to come for them.

    Travelling the Middle East?

    I work in the security industry in the Middle East at the moment, for what its worth: Iran, not too much of a problem, the Iranian people are in general friendly, curious and hospitable of foreigners, be very careful of the military and revolutionary guards, you stray too near a military...
