Hmmm, tough one, I reckon it's a shade of blue although I could be wrong.

Yep, and the more you take apart you can see the worse it gets :)

I'm sure you're a member of a recovery company (AA, etc)? If this was me, I'd call them, get the car recovered home and use their replacement hire car service. Then I'd enjoy the rest of my holiday and forget about it till I got home :)

Surely if it lost sync you would get an 'engine disabled' or similar message when trying to start?

Can you say roughly what they are charging for this?

Doh! :)

How much did they cost in the end? I recently had the old tints removed from my car and new factory spec tints put on for £150.

We can now await the next owner of this P38 to come on here asking how to re-install the original EAS :)

Fourth post down on this link describes what the issue is. It's not the microswitch but the crappy plastic components in the latch wearing out. Door latch Mine was doing the same during the heatwave but fine when cooler. I've ordered a replacement latch to fix it for good.

My alarm/door latch has been playing up in the hot weather. A mate of mine had a Discovery 3 that didn't start in really cold weather and the main dealer could never find the fault. Considering Land Rovers are supposed to be go anywhere vehicles it amuses me that they can be so temperamental...

Checked connections on outstation - one of the plugs is gunked up/corroded so I'll clean that up tomorrow and try again. It's the plug with the pink/white wire that controls the door open/close signal.

Update : Got driver's side door latch out today and took it apart to check it. Everything looked ok but lubed all moving parts. Put it back together again but still getting RHF door open message. First time the car is locked from the fob it doesn't alert however after a period of time the...

Latest one, upgraded it about 4/5 months ago and no problems till now. Edited to add: I noticed that locking using the key seemed to trigger the door open message on dash. Remote is ok for five mins then alarm goes off. Can only think that the hot weather is affecting the door latch in some way...

It's got worse. Alarm going off every five minutes so disconnected battery. Same message, RHF door. I'll take the door card off tomorrow to take a look.

Since the weather has got hot (last few days), my alarm has started triggering occasionally. Message is RHF door? It's been fine for the past year so presume it's the hot weather that might be causing it? Edited to add - replaced both driver and passenger door latches a couple of months back.

Worth looking at an ML63? They're pretty awesome machines. Edited to add - http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mercedes-benz/amg/mercedes-benz-m-class-ml63-5dr-tip-auto-new-shape-facelift-big-spec/1483334

I love my P38 but if I was in your shoes I'd go for the newer car all day long!!

Nice mileage! and good choice with a V8 :)

I'm going to redo a couple of the pillars on mine as I'm not happy with the finish. I''ll post some pics on how you can do the curves.

Great excuse to go aftermarket. You can get single din stereos with built in Sat Nav, Bluetooth, IPod connectivity, etc (I also think you can get ones that support the steering wheel controls?). It amazes me how much the crappy original stereos go for on eBay. These cars are worth so little now...
