I have an interesting one on my 4.6 Vogue. After about 6 miles of driving temp goes straight to max & red light comes on. Then after a short time it drops just as quickly to normal. Fluids seem okay and engine doesn't smell or feel hotter than it should be. Outside temp around zero so not likely...

Hi Andy, No they didn't. I did manage to contact a guy in the local yellow pages & he said he knew of someone in Newcastle Upon Tyne who he would take it to but to be honest I just haven't got around to it. One day maybe!! I suppose the choice between £650 for a new one plus fitting against...

thanks for replies, wheels are standard 18" with new Pirelli Scorpion outer edges do seem a little worn already but tracking is spot on as far as can tell suspesnion height is correct and a full laser geometery check showed nothing wrong but still it wanders

i have 2001 P38 Vogue, which has developed wanderlust, it picks up on every white line, and bump in the road and decides to go wherever it likes. steering damper has been changed front tyres are new and all ball joints etc are fine with no free play, but still it has a mind of its...

Eddy, Forgot to mention the initial cause of the problem was failure of the car battery, does that sound familiar?

Hi Eddy, My fix was to remove the Sat Nav unit where the Disk goes, (Rear O/S of boot area) It fixes just like a radio in a standard DIN slot & has 4 spring clips which can be released with 4 fine screwdrivers or pop rivets, using the tails. The clips are about 1 1/4 " behind the facia. Once...

Well it's fixed, sort of! Removed the SatNav from the rear & the radio now works properly. It looks like something in the SatNav has blown & convinced the radio that it was trying to give directions, thus turning off the front speakers for music. At least I have entertinment but don't know...

Thanks Dopey, I have checked the fuses under the driver's seat. Didn't realise there were more for Sat Nav under the bonnet, I'll try there now. It was definitely 12v, one of those portable jumper things you get for £20 from the cheap shop, which has a light & compressor in it as well...

Hi Jay, Matter of personal preference really but when chnged from my RR Clasic to a P38 I found there was a masive amount of difference in trim & power between the TDi & V8. The oil burner even had manual seats. Did think about the gas conversion but didn't want to lose the boot space & have...

Hi Gonzo, I had a similar problem when I bought my P38 last year & after looking at all the major manufacturers, Witter, Towsure, Brinks etc I gave up as I don't think they have made them yet. Not sure about factory fitted options but I'm your local dealer will sell one for the price of a...

Recently the battery in my P38 RR Vogue (2001MY) failed & in the process of jump starting the car the Sat Nav & Radio failed.:mad: The Sat Nav now only displays a white screen & the Map CD constantly ejects & reloads itself. The radio plays only on 2 rear speakers with no volume control, up or...
