Mine was down to a knackered UJ on the front prop. Easy to test. Get under the car and test the prop for play. When I did this the back end of the prop was moving significantly and when I took it off the bearing cups on the UJ were totally shot. The car runs without the front prop so if it is...

Budgeted !!! I thought I did that. £3k for the car and "how much can it cost me to iron out the few problems it has ?". Haaaaa Car 1 Owner 0 (well in actual fact - £2,000 so far)

Take the front prop off and run it for a couple of days. It will take you 30 mins and at least then you can rule that out. Btw you will also get better fuel consumption and great fun on roundabouts :p

Spoke to "specialist" today. Guess I touched a nerve when I asked him how, after spending in excess of £1,500 to basically get fuel trims sorted, a rotary coupler swapped out and an exhaust fitted with the latter taking 25 hrs of his time, he managed to miss a completely knackered prop shaft...

It was the UJ at the back of the front prop. Now taken prop off to ensure it doesn't come at me thru the floor and off to order either new UJ or complete front prop assembly. Thing that is p***ing me off is that with the amount of money I spent with "local specialist" I cannot believe he didn't...

the P38 comes back to bite you in the ass. After all the fun since buying it I now have the exhaust sorted, have changed out the binding caliper and this week managed to actually get cruise control working (rotary coupler was the culprit). Then I get in the car and the ***** starts shaking...

:( Think I will save for the MSV

Any chance of a group buy on MSV-2 ? I like the FCR but would probably prefer to go for the MSV-2 for the additional capability.

BBS Guy Question being. When's the next discount group buy ? :)

Update: If anybody else has the same issue then the cable itself, which is listed only for later models, actually fits so you do not have to purchase the complete assembly. Genuine cable is £47.

Wammers Just looked on RAVE. Is the ECU temp sensor you are referring to item X128 on P418 of the ETM which is referred to as the "Engine Fuel Temperature sensor" ?

Magic Did you manage to get this fixed ? Inverter pic is on page 19 of the Component Location Views and is item Z249. It is right next to the Cruise ECU. I am tempted just to pick up both items off a breaking P38.

broomy Interested to see how you get on. I am currently getting 12 mpg on gas. Obviously the thing needs some serious investigation and may well start out with new ECU Temp Sensor. Do you have a part #, source and cost for the one you got ?

Thanks guys. I actually found the tests but only got to 1B before the readings didn't match with 11.1V v's 12.6V from battery. I then did 2B anyway just in case the 1.5V difference was ok and it gave me absolutely no reading so not point going past there. Does anybody have their readings for...

Kev Did you get anywhere on this ? I just got my heap back and about to start to try diagnose same issue on it.

2 months and 10 days on..... I got car back yesterday after paying for, wait for it, 25 hrs labour to get 2 out of 6 jobs completed. Exhaust was a pig and a half. Now sent back 3 systems and lost so much £ along the way it is at that kind of hilarious pain stage. Still don't have cruise...

Hi folks Same issue with my 97 4.0. Can you tell me what part of RAVE the tests are in ? I printed off a lot of cruise control info but nothing about tests.

Holy crap. Do you get a free degree in electronics after owning one of these things !!! I am now s****ing myself as I don't have the 4 digit secret masonic password. Anyone any idea where this little treasure trove would be for my nightmare inducing 97 P38 4.0 ?

Agree with Wil. Being serious tho if you have 8k why a P38 and not a newer L322 ? If you do want a P38 then Petrol either engine is roughly same on fuel consumption. Both if in good shape will push the car on well. Things to watch out for ? How long have you got ? Air suspension; it's...

Hey G-man if I give you my heap do you promise you will blow the front off ? :attention:
