Or Can I do the timing chain myself. Do I need special tools?

Ok thanks. You say it's quite big job; any idea how much labour a garage would quote? I'll checkout diesel jones.

Yes it's 130k. I'm sure the timing chain has never been done. Would you recommend me getting the cam, pump and crank sprocket done at the same time? The local garage quoted me £750 + 2.5 hr labour for the fip. Was looking at secondhand ones for £170. But wanted to be sure that it was a pump...

So are you saying that timing chain needs replacing and fip needs a referb

Here are some reading after driving abou 15 miles. It taken while stopped and idling. Timing mod. Of 76 I thought was a tad high. From reading other threads should be about 50 -+ 5. Does this help to pin point the problem. Can it be adjusted.

Not really sure how to use the nanocom. But here is a pic of an error.

Yes thanx for that s for spare not for 5

Sorry yes that's what meant the ones next to 44. I miss read it it say S not 5. Doh

Nanocom not working f33 fused. Just wanted to check fuses 1 - 5 are spares

Dunno I asked but say it doesn't give codes. Can't remember what system they have. But he said it's updated daily from London. I have a Namocom will check what that says tomorrow.

I've had a intermittent problem with my p38 dse where there seems to be no power for a few seconds then is better. This happens maybe once a week. Anyway I took it to my local I independent garage and he plugged in his diagnostics. And cleared a injector pump fault. After driving some more...

Just an update. Play in uj sorted. But the whine problem seem to be the gearbox or transfer. Hard to tell which even with a stethoscope while the car is running jacked up over a pit. So thinking of getting a secondhand 4hp24. Just gotta do some searching to find exactly what I need to get to do...

Would that also explain it hanging on to first gear for so long?

There doesn't seem to be any movement in the rear prop at the diff. The front has a tiny bit but I could be feeling some play in the uj.

Thanks for the reply wammers. Can I check that without taking off the rear prop? How?

Hello all, Once again I call upon the expertise in this forum. The auto box in my 1999 p38 2.5 dse started to whine. I recently did an oil change (about 1300 miles ago). But on the way to work the other day the gearbox or transfer box started whining. Usually while decelerating and sometime...

Hi all. I've got a problem. Loss if power and die. I noticed that there are air bubbles in a clear section of line going into and out of the fuel filter. Does this suggest a problem with the pump or could it be fuel lines. Cheers Ole

Ok have just ordered a fm transmitter. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't manage to utilise the cd input on the head unit.

Ok does anyone know what the impedance needs to be?

I've just been reading about balanced and unbalanced audio signals here. And after looking on some DJ sites I've found this product which seems to convert unbalanced signals into balanced and works of 12VDC. then it should be a simple task to make up some cables to connect it to the...
