Post a sign outside your workshop. "We don't lend any tools. The man who used to lend tools doesn't work here any more. He doesn't have any tools." :)

P.S. Remember to take your bags out of the boot at the airport before disconnecting ;)

Disconnecting the battery is a very wise thing to do when leaving for a while. Always have the key in position II, igntion on, when disconnecting. This will stop any keycode lockout when re-connected, and always have the key back in position II when re-connecting. I have two P38's and I've...

Thank you, all pieces of information to put together. Apologies for all the questions, I'd like to find out about all the missing bits. The two switches in the centre armrest are power to the screens. Is this original? These controllers were in the car. I'm assuming the VDO one is for the front...

Thankfully I didn't move the collar on the bottom joint. I had a go at it... then wondered what it was and looked it up :) Thanks for the info, never thought there might be different types. Is this just to allow small movements?

Has anyone seen a balljoint like this before? It's the top one from a 2000 P38, the bottom one was a normal ball in socket. The car had very asymetric handling, now it's fine with a new (ball in socket) joint. Once the hub carrier was off, the bottom one was the usual floppy worn out and this...
