PM sent Datatek, or 'conversation' is it? I'm unsure how to actually PM sorry.. Titch

Thanks Datatek, mmm me and 'downloading' never seem to get on.. Also I know exactly the problem with Customs etc, from daily experience with my work on postage.. However, I'm content to exceed covering the cost to you... Where do we go from here then... pm or dm is it?? I may be popping out for...

Could anyone advise where I can get RAVE for my P38 diesel... but want to run it on Window XP if possible.. CD would be simpler for me and of course happy to pay for it .. Titch

That's making me think of a financial saving then... Glow Plugs maybe then..?? Titch

Ah, not White smoke.. just 'normal' diesel smoke, unburnt I'd say... Titch

Ok thanks again, I'll do the leak off pipe's this weekend... I do have new pipe.. and I'll add some cleaner in the fuel. The injection pump was refitted by a trusted friend, that was leaking too, but yes it performed much better too after he set that up.. it's just that the car is starting to...

Thanks chaps! Indeed yet to look at the 'leak' this weekend.. can I just simply cut my new pipe and change all individually and will the engine bleed them naturally.. the leak off pipes that is (spill pipes??) ? Also, I had used injector cleaner when I first had this P38.. yes thank you...

Thanks all, yes to Glow Plugs too possibly, but I also have a leak from one of the injectors which I have new pipe for... I know all this will cost, but see injectors as a service part really...then I'll know the history of the fuel injection system as I do intend keeping this P38….. Thanks for...

Hi Datatek, Well, sometimes difficult to start from cold, initial smoke screen and sometimes erratic running.. I've had the fuel pump refurbished (ouch £££) but content with knowing it's done now... Injectors were mentioned at the same time... So, I thought.... Titch

Hi folks, can anyone recommend a decent reliable supplier for my injectors please, on a 1997 2.5 BMW engine inevitably? UK of course... Regards, Titch

Thanks chaps! That's the way I'm going I think.. I was concerned how much 'pressure' was in the pipelines, but considered that it can't be excessive as there's rubber used anyway.. then I can still use the cooler of course and as Datatek says heat is generated of course.. But the awkwardness of...

Or failing this, what's anyone's thoughts on bypassing the oil cooler altogether.. even if it's only for a short period?? I know it's an auto, but I wouldn't be doing high/fast motorway mileage nor indeed towing heavy trailers?? Thoughts?? Thanks, Titch

Hi Folks, as my title suggests.. but, I'm struggling to work out how to thread the actual pipes to the Autobox itself..?? very little movement of the steel pipe making it difficult to thread them through alongside (underneath) the actual engine?? Anyone else had to do this.. I know, I know... i...

Ah, just a blast down the A41!! I think it's clearing now, but.. still an icy breeze.. we'll see what happens come mid afternoon onwards.. However.. 'When I were a Lad'......

We had it during the night, nothing too scary though..but a bitter wind this morning.. hence me coming up to my office.. Not sure how far away we are Kermit, but we are on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border.. near Newport.. bbrrrrr.. Titch
