    I did glow plugs, leak offs and in tank pump ( which I noticed wasn't working when I tried to prime the filter after a change.) Now starts perfectly cold. Also I have a CTEK clever charger which is awesome.

    P38A Engine died. Fuel pump/starvation?

    Am I right in thinking that the interior handle activating rod is held in by a little plastic retaining bush, sounds like it's Donald'd

    P38A Engine died. Fuel pump/starvation?

    Must be that time, this month I've replaced the fuel lift pump and oil filter housing, in October I changed the drive belt tensioner bracket and pulley ( stripped pulley bolt threads ), thermostat and drive belt.

    P38A What a mission........

    Heater O rings replaced, I though that was a mission until I changed the heater syncron motors, blimey. 6 knuckles surviving. But I had got feed up with cold feet and a pink air duct. All working now.

    Auto gearbox slow to engage 3rd

    I changed the oil at the weekend, let's just say it's now not very red. It sounds like a clutch pack. Over reving on the gear change ( it rises according to how far you put your foot down ! ) Fecking scary when you go to over take.........

    Auto gearbox slow to engage 3rd

    Hi. My DHSE has started to over rev when the box changes from 2 to 3, is there a clutch pack for each gear swap ? It's a 2001 model, just having passed 168000 k today. I've tried lucas and a fluid change with no difference. Cut my losses and get an Ashcroft box, hoses and cooler rad ? Dom

    Tyres

    Has any one tried Cooper Zeons yet, they look pretty good and although I'd like to think I need some super chunky tyres, most of the time I'm on road. These seem to come out well. Cooper Tires » Tyres: Zeon XST-A

    P38 Rear Washer Wont Work

    Good point, well made. By the time I would have worked that one out i would have a wet arm. Out of the envelope and straight under the car, no patience.

    P38 Rear Washer Wont Work

    Yup, they actually locate by clipping into the moulding on the reservoir it's self, so gently lever it out forwards, if there is any fluid in the reservoir it will run down your arm into your armpit.

    Exhaust heat shield on a DHSE ?

    Bugger, that bar is in place and I can't push the pipe back up by more than a few mm. Damn.

    What do you think it's worth?

    Twice what it is now once we have had some snow.

    Exhaust heat shield on a DHSE ?

    Yesterday I found the debris and bolt of what looks like some sort of heat shield, could it be off the height sensor? The other odd thing is that the exhaust section under the drivers seat appears to have dropped, allowing it to vibrate on the circular cross member. All the mounting rubbers...

    Better on or off??

    I took mine off because the bars were to wide for my roof box brackets, now have standard THULE bars with various equipment attachments which go on when required.

    just bought p38 diesel...some advice please esp. re autobox

    Check the gear box fluid level, as per the manual with the engine running, if the fluid is low eventually reverse will not engage. I thought the worse, changed the fluid, filter and checked the level with the car running and all was well again ( now I need to replace the gear box cooler rad and...

    Aftermarket oil cooler pipes

    I recently changed my oil cooler pipes and oil cooler rad. The pipes were s@#tpart. I couldn't understand why I had a small leak from the O ring area, I replaced the the O rings with decent ones, still leaked. After taking them off again I noticed that when I put the bracket on the oil filter...

    oil cooler pipes

    I have fitted a larger intercooler ( having obtained it at a very sensible price ) I also got 2 new oil cooler hoses and a new cooler matrix, which needs to be relocated above the intercooler. The oil cooler pipes are different part numbers, is the difference at the cooler end or the oil filter...

    Heater Temperature Control

    Could be the actual sensor then as the blends usually cause the chequebook symbol

    Heater Temperature Control

    Could be the little fan in the dash that supplies cabin temp to the sensor - next to the radio (small grill) or blends.
