    Put petrol in my RR Vogue

    Absolutely right, syphon it out (or pump it out) yourself, and so long as there's not more than a gallon or so left you'll be fine, brim it with diesel and drive it away. A 10% petrol mix shouldn't cause serious problems, used to do it all the time in the old days to avoid the diesel waxing...

    New p38 Engine Needed. !!!

    Ask for the price of a second hand Omega diesel engine, it will be a lot cheaper for the same engine (near as damn it). For some reason, breakers yards seem to charge a premium for RR bits as they assume we're all rich b*stards, of course the truth is that we're all broke because we spend our...

    Electronics must surely be the major problem. As the battery was connected when everything went underwater, presumably that will have blown every ECU that got wet. Sounds potentially bl**dy expensive, it may be worth buying a write-off with a blown engine and whatever and building one good...

    PSI Powerchip

    The switchover point was when they did the facelift and changed to the Bosch engine ECU.

    PSI Powerchip

    The PSI box you want is PB20008, the earlier pre '99 one was PB200011

    Cruise control

    Has it ever worked since you have owned the car, if not, are you remembering to switch it on using the master switch on the dash before you try to control it with the steering wheel buttons ?

    Load space

    It's got to weigh less than an XT550 + caravan nose weight, so you should be OK. Regarding a swan-neck tow ball, the OEM fit ones were like that, but most RR seem to have aftermarket tow bars the majority of which are the standard bolt-on type so no worries there.

    Load space

    Stick the bike on a rack bolted to the towbar. I used to carry an Yamaha XT550 while I towed a caravan, went all over Europe with no problems at all. Saves messing up the inside of the RR as well as keeping the stink of petrol out as well.

    OBD11 - ELM327 ver 1.2a

    Pretty certain this was not supported on the P38, certainly not on the pre-1999 ones. The later one's with the Bosch Motronic ECU _may_ support full generic CAN OBD-II but I really doubt it !

    Place yer bets!! how much will it go for??

    Looks nice, good colour, loads of good history, I reckon that the hammer will drop at £3200 (I personally think it's worth more), but of course it's eBay, so the hammer price guarantees absolutely nothing ..... Good luck !

    Ipod/Harmon Kardon

    So long as your P38 is 1999 onwards with the Alpine head unit, these guys do an IPOD interface: roverville.us Having said that, a couple of weeks ago I emailed them a load of questions to establish what the unit actually does and doesn't do, and received no answer at all. Because of...

    srs, how to reset?

    I use a Toshiba Libretto CT100 overclocked to 266mHz and running Windows Me. It's the size of a VHS video cassette and it's like a minature handheld PC but with a decent size screen and normal keyboard. Any PC running Windows and preferably has an Rs232 serial port (9 pin D-type) will do the...

    srs and air bag fault displaying on dash

    Mine was caused by a loose yellow connector under the drivers seat. Apparently it goes to the side airbag and the intermittant contact triggered the fault.
