thanks for the advice. i don't usually move the heating controls much and so it might be a bit seized. i'll cycle it a bit more cos the whole blend motor thing seems a nightmare cheers

This morning, when i started my DHSE, the dreaded book and exclamation mark symbols appeared on the HEVAC display. the footwell air was cold and the windscreen air hot (with the temp set hot). then after about a 1/2 hour journey, next time i started the car, everything was fine and the book and...

Hi, does anyone know why my p38 might be blowing tail light bulbs all the time? cheers

if i decide to sell it,i'll put some pictures on the site. i kind of agree with Rewmer, that i'll probably only go and buy another.

sorry - oslo (blue) is the colour.its located in scotland

Hi, very sad to say but i'm thinking of selling my p38. its a 2001(Y) DHSE in oslo with all the extra's - including sat nav, colour coded bumpers and all the usual toys. mileage is 82K my question is - what does anyone think its worth? thanks Will

i cleaned the tailgate switch and sprayed wd40 inside.its been working now for about a week. the central locking still locks and unlocks as i drive along!

mine just misses the tax band cut - its 28 days too young and i will be facedwith £450/year from 2010. i think i'll just put up with it because i love the P38. if i were looking to buy one now i would try and find a DHSE registered just before march 2001.its a real buyers market at the moment...

i've had my 2oo1 dhse for 18 months (22,000miles) with no major problems. its slow and averages 25mpg but so comfortable. being registered after march 2001 means it will be £455/year tax from 2010. i love my dhse and as long as it stays reliable, i can put up with high tax and fuel bills

thanks Steve, was it just the drivers door lock that you overhauled?

Hi, the tailgate lock on my p38 dhse is playing up. mostly it works fine but sometimes it wont open. nothing at all happens when i press the button. last week i also replaced the drivers door cable that connects the inside handle to the lock mechanism. i've read some threads about this and its...

thanks Wills. do i need to order new clips for the door card or will the original ones be reusable? got the cable on order £9.89 + vat.

cheers guys, just removed the plastic trim around the inside door handle. Wills you are correct, the cable has snapped at the crimp. is removing the door cards easy? i only got as far as removing the tweeter cover an screw behind? not sure what to do next?

supremely comfortable, especially the HSE or DHSE models with lots of toys. diesels are very slow to get going, hopeless for speedy overtaking but cruise well at speed. my 2001 is quite reliable - no serious breakdowns in 20k miles though little niggles like dodgy door locks. for servicing i...

Hi, just went out to the supermarket (to buy nappies) and couldn't get out. when i pulled the door opener it felt a bit weird as if something broke. now it feels like the inside handle is not connected to anything. i opened the window and used the outside door which was fine. anyone know what...

you might just about manage to get a half decent insurance quote for a diesel. they are after all, slower than a snail. running costs will be high, especially if you're doing a lot of miles. i have a DHSE and i think it has all the toys that a vogue has Also beware, 4x4's have unusual handling...

i think that works out at 15.9mpg. my dhse does more like 25 but its also so slow it can't actually do 80/90 kmh!!

Hi folks, On the P38, DHSE, does anyone know if it is possible to dissable the front passenger airbag for the purposes of fitting a baby seat? cheers

Just how bad is the build quality of the post 2000 RR's? or is it a cse of the people just not servicing their rides? my 2001 p38 appears to be well built, except perhaps the glove box which doesn't seem to close that well

ah....its been a long week. i voted for the new one in any case, though i don't know cos i'm too poor to own one of those
