Brilliant thanks the emulator helped loads think I will purchase one of those, just need to read up on all the magical things it can do and how to use it

Hello all been a while since I posted as iv been in norway for a couple of months, iv just sold and old landy and have some cash floating round to buy a nanocom for the p38 but I'm unsure on what it can do, iv looked on the website and read all the info on them but it's my first p38 and unsure...

I have a full stainless exhaust on mine with the quad tail pipes. The centre box got damaged so I replaced it with a straight through section and it sounds awesome now but not intrusive in the cab at motorway cruising speed

Yeah I have been in touch with them they have given me loads of info, thanks for the heads up

I realise it's a massive long shot but my dad has a 1952 series one with the 2l Siamese petrol and it's missing it's brass timing plate off the engine. Does anyone have one at the bottom of a box somewhere that they are willing to sell as I'm trying to get him it for his 50th birthday, or if...

Found the problem with the alternator, traced the wires back and found the earth lead was broken down from the battery to the engine. Repaired it and all charging correctly now thanks for the info

It's a 1999 4.6 with the 150amp alternator. Don't know how good the battery is either as it's a spare one I had kicking around in the back of my series 3. What is the set point people are talking about?

Don't need the cross rails, only need the roof bars to transport a series 3 109 roof rack to France off my old pile of crap to give it to my dad for his old landy

Just checked the thin wire from the back of the alternator and it had been repaired in the past, just remade the connection and at idle I'm now getting 13.4. Seems better. Goes to 13.8 when revved slightly. It does have an annoying whining noise coming from it so think it's on it's last legs

I thought you got closer to 13.5v over the battery terminals? Just seems low to me. It also clicked on the starter a couple of times then slowly fired up, it didn't turn over before it started just had a laboured start like a flat battery, drove it 35 miles stopped it and it started straight...

Thanks for the info. Just checked the voltage at the back of the alternator and it 14.5v but over the battery it's 12.5v. Could the battery be at fault?

Does anyone know if I can get a recon alternator in the North London area, as mine has packed in at the most inappropriate time and need the car for work on Monday. Any help would be much appreciated

Yeah they are the ones I'm looking for, will have a look at ones that are being broken

I did wonder that, will just have to keep my eye out and look round scrap yards

Don't know what they are called but the roof bars that can be attached to a p38 that run the length of the roof, I was looking on ebay and can't see any for sale. Is it because I am not putting in the correct name for them or are there just not any for sale?

I have a rattle/ vibration on mine couldn't figure it out, turns out it was the centre pipe exhaust bar that attaches to the rubber exhaust mount, at idle was vibrating just enough to tap the chassis and annoy the crap out of me

I rang my local brc fitting garage and asked for a price for a leak check and service as it came in at £65 going to go see him in a week or so once I'm back at work. Seems a fairly reasonable price to me. I had the old girl mot'd last month sailed straight through but couldn't remember if she...

Never had any problems with petrol or gas power wise it goes like a bullet on both, I'm just wanting to make sure the gas mixture is set ok and in not just throwing gas down the exhaust for no reason. I wouldn't mind a fault code reader but don't know which one to purchase because £500 is a bit...

With the 4.6 being efi how do you set the timing for gas? Is it a computer jobby? Will definitely take it for a service/tune up in the new year and see about getting it tuned to run better on gas, all the plugs and leads are brand new on it. Just filled up and I got 200 miles from 78 litres. 120...

I'm paying 59.9 in bp filling station in southgate in North London, so every 24k is about 18monthly 2 year intervals then?
