Its a sad day but I've got to let the old girl go, that's the P38 and not the wife although its tempting, this has been part of my life for almost ten years but I've had to buy a (cough) seven seater due to a change in family circumstances and its not the same as being king of the road in the...

This has been in my shed for far to long, i brought it when my P38 kept overheating and everyone told me it would be a cracked head, i put another engine in and never used this head so its been sat there ever since. Collection will be from New Malden KT3 5DD i'm happy for you to send a courier...

how does an NHS secretary afford a 24 grand car ??

Thanks for the help, something i noticed today not sure if it means anything, it seems to stop going on and off but still flickers a bit when i had the headlights on, going to try and have a look tomorrow iv'e got to drive to Birmingham on Saturday about 250 miles round trip, so i'm sweating a...

Any where in the fuse box in particular to check? is there a Hevac fuse?

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with a Hevac issue on my 96 DSE, i would try searching but the search function still appears to be out. When i'm driving along the hevac screen is flickering on and off and the fan stops running when it goes off, at the same time the...

thanks guys, biketeacherdave - pm sent cheers

When you say "be careful" do you mean it could fly out and take my eye out? or do you mean it could fly out never to go back? i've been thinking about the best way to approach it, and i might try slackening the bolts off, cleaning it with brake cleaner and squeezing some sealer in there. Any...

answers on an "email" is just not the same, i'm happy with staying in the dark ages, i don't think this internetty thingy will ever take off anyway!

Thanks wammers, is it safe to take the plate off to change the seal or am i opening myself up to all sorts of trouble?

I'm hoping some one knows the answer to this? iv'e got a 1996 DSE P38 and its sprung a diesel leak, its coming from a little plate on the side of the injector pump that's held in place with two allen bolts. Its easy to get to without disturbing anything else on the pump but the questions is -...

Just had a similar problem with mine, after using Marty's excellent guide i checked it all out and found the lock was u/s. Remove the door card and unplug the lock, you loose the central locking on that door only, but it stops the message coming up and the suspension works as normal until you...

Thanks Marty, I'll sort out the vin in the morning and get it sent over to you Cheers Mark

Th anks for thta Thanks for that, i'm guessing i better check the part no on the duff one and get one ordered, the only good thing to come out of this is that i'm now a master at removing door cards without braking the clips!!

Iv'e just spent an hour going through Marty's tests and it would appear that its the actuator that's kapoot. Iv'e left it unplugged for now although i don't know if that's a good idea or not? i suppose i'll have to try and find another one, Marty are you still refurbishing these? Thanks for all...
