Hi, can anyone advise please. One of the panel lights in the 'message panel' has gone out - it's the end one on the right so you can't read the figure for average MPG without stopping the car and squinting at it! Have any P38 owners tried to fix panel lights? Are they easy(ish) to get to? Thanks...

Help! Just put a new battery on my P38 (Halford's one went after only 12 months) and you'd have to own a p38 to know what a difference that's made!! Only problem is that the motor is really difficult to start. It cranks over for what seems like ages and then one, two three cylinders get going...

Batery on my 2.5 P38 went flat overnight (don't know why yet!!) and the car was a long way from the house so couldn't connect charger. Took the battery off and charged overnight (battery almost new so no problem with it). Just been out to connect and can't turn the alarm off! Every time I go to...

Help please!!!! My P38 won't start. Bloke came round and put a hand-held machine on that said that a relay was over-heating. Was talking to someone in cafe today who said that taking the battery leads off and joining them together for an hour of so will lose all the faults so it should start. Is...

Not a new member, but new to writing anything! I've got a 2000 P38 2.5 and a 1984 Series 3 petrol. The old landy runs like a train but (and the reason I'm trawling the site) the P38 has got the non-starts! I got home from a long run and turned it off. Next morning went to start it and all lights...
