Ours use to do similar then the amp in back left quarter died. Changed it and all was well for a couple of years. Occasionally we get some noises still but just live with it. You could unplug the amp plug and check for green corrosion and give the plug a clean. Be carful as the amp has some very...

187k l322 TD6 second box, 3rd turbo

I’ll reply my own thread incase it helps anyone, intermittent problem that gradually got worse. Car passed the Mot recently with no advisory’s yippee I thought. I decided to pick my son up from school and on the way home getting stuck in traffic approaching an extremely busy roundabout where...

Thanks I’ll recheck all of that, fan cowl has been previously removed, car generally sits at halfway on guage unless idling for a long time or doing lots of low speed work or I have foot down for a while up very long hills Mile or so in length. Don’t like the sound of the cracked head problem...

Thanks Datatek, when I purchased the thermocouple for the fan mod I purchased one off eBay which wasn’t the best quality as it has a wide range of on off so if I set it maybe a bit to high to stop fans being on for to long. I’ll try cranking it down a bit (fans on more) and see if that helps...

Hi All again, Recently the P38 has intermittently losing power when it has got hot(up near the red) I have done datateks fan mod so have no viscous fitted. The fans come on fine and bring the temp back down when required. The issue I’m having is more and more often I end with no power once it...

Bit of a delay in update, life got in the way and is only a spare car/toy! Fitted brand new brown plug injector and all is well no diesel leaks at last! EML light has also gone out so I guess I was just unlucky with my new white injector. Just got to send it back and hopefully get my money back...

Yeh footman James came out good, if it was much more I couldn’t justify the cost as a spare vehicle. Strangely the quote was less if parked on drive at home instead of on a farm lockup in a secure building! I’m waiting for the l322 renewal to see how much that’s been jacked up. Anyone had any...

Was that successful for you then, I don’t think I’d give it a go! I chickened out a purchased a brown plug one last night, once that comes I’ll swap the white one out and see I get refund or replacement. Jacob

Hi All, Just been on the insurance hunt and managed to get it down. Took a few hours of phoning about etc. Price comparison site 840 Lancaster 760 Carole Nash 3000 !!!! A flux flux got down to 486 limited mileage The winner… Footman James 353 classic limited mileage policy. With agreed...

No doubt, may get a few quid back haha

Thanks all you for your responses, I’ll definitely be looking at the gates spill pipe. Unfortunately price of the injectors is now over £200 minimum. I think they are running stock down so the less of them there is the more they charge I guess. Probably anyone with a DSE in the future will face...

I’ll have a look out for some, so much poor quality stuff out there. Really grinds my gears

Thanks Brian, yeh they do look like they’ve ballooned somewhat but are not leaking so I’ll take it for now. Maybe get some better stuff at some point. Cheers

Thanks range roller DT, completely agree if it’s faulty it’s got to go back, re the water pump leak I’m not gonna have a look until I’ve sorted this issue out. I can only tackle one headache at a time! Mark thanks, Yeh I wish I’d Just got the brown plug one in the first place. It’s only the...
