Hi all, Posted on car and classic but thought I’d put an ad here too if that’s ok? £2500. Nottingham England 98 Tdi ES Auto with 203500miles. Really good clean car that I’ve done 13000 miles in since 2021 and loved but don’t have need for now my Range Rover is finished. It’s not perfect and...

Hi all, Still trying to get to the bottom of my running issues. Hotwire 3.9 V8 in a ‘93 Vogue LSE. Symptoms are rough running / stumble / intermittent random misfire at idle, rich smelling exhaust at idle and big mixture corrections. Runs pretty nice I think under any load. Reving cleanly and...

Hi All, Bottom Line: I need help with getting my EAS to work on my classic after reinstating much of the system. It has never worked in the time I've had the car but all the components seem to check out as far as I can tell. I'm located in Nottingham UK if anyone is willing to help me in...

Hi All, Day three of D1 ownership is going well! This morning when i had to move the car it started as normal but the CHECK ENGINE lamp stayed on and the wipers wouldn't work. Parked on the driveway and decided to charge the battery from the Range Rover (long term renovation and currently...

Hi All, Mom's P38 radiator is leaking. I've advised not to drive until I can go and replace on the bank holiday weekend but I'm trying to work out what radiator to buy. Obviously I know I need to buy one that fits a '97 diesel automatic - that's not what I'm uncertain about. What I am...

Hi All, I have a few questions now that I am finally bolting bits back onto the back end of my LSE for good... Can anyone tell me where the following should be routed to: Rear Axle Breather Hose - was missing when I got the car and I cannot work out where to route it to that's a worthwhile...

Hi All, Hoping someone with experience of late classics can tell me something, or better still show me, how this section of the boot floor should look. Both sides of mine are rusted and patched beyond recognition and I can't really tell what it should have looked like. I feel as if my rear...

Hi all, been on here a while now for advice fiddling with a P38 DSE that belongs to my mother. Constant trouble but when it’s working it’s great. Needed to get away from depreciating BMW on 29% APR finance and that I can extract about £4500 from and realised that for that money I could make...

Hi all, Hope someone might be able to help. HillHunter (Jon) borrowed my timing chain and fuel injection pump tools for the M51 engines a while back in order to work on his car. Unfortunately he’s now not been online in a while and it’s been a month since I messaged him asking for an...

hi all, Can anyone tell me at what point the indicators normally cancel? Ours cancel at odd positions of the steering wheel (not straight ahead) but having stripped it all down and looked at the pins which interact with the indicator switch to do the cancelling this seems entirely predictable...

Hi All, 2.5 Diesel p38. Head gasket has failed apparently. Any suggestions on what brand bits to go for? On my VW engined Volvos I'd normally stick to Victor Reinz multi layered steel hg and Febi or Elring for other gaskets. Will have head skimmed and tested, new stem seals, injector washers...

Hi all, I'm new. Always been a Volvo family as my uncle worked for them, but the recent death of the auto box in my mothers v70 two weeks before a planned trip to Ireland has prompted an impulse purchase of a cheap '97 DSE. Not logical I know but her and her other half have always fancied one...
