Hi all I have looked around the forum but cant find this specific problem.(or missed it) My car has a disarmed central locking( which I like actually for simplicity) so key only operation. I was getting the occasional random lock, unlock scenario but was living with it. All was fine until two...

Hi guys Probably a problem already aired but I cant find a mention. I have bought a lovely Japanese 4.6 HSE import. I could live with this but it would be nice to change the speedometer to an MPH and to change over(KPH to MPH) on the distance(ometer?). Are there any thoughts or remedies out...

Hi all My friends P38 decided to not let him out of the car this morning. Had a look at some threads and seems that the drivers door switch pack might be the culprit or the rear button. Can check the button but what is the switch pack?Is it t the main terminal box of electrics adjacent to the...

P38 4.0 Thor 2000 Hi No real problems just concerns you may be able to help with. Fitted a new EAS Pump from Rimmers -only reason really to cover all eventualities. Works fine but very noisy-it clacks loudly rather than the usual quick pumping sound noise. Should it go back? Also normal height...

Hi All 4.0 Thor 2000 I know that apart from fitting a new cam kit, one has to, and I quote from an earlier post "All you have to do is undo the torx head bolt holding the handle on and then wriggle the door handle outwards until you can see the offending lug that needs cut off - you can move...

Hi everyone. 2000 4.0 Thor 80K miles This problem hopefully someone will be able to identify before I start ordering bits haphazardly and just hoping for a result. I have had a trawl through previous threads but cant find this specific set of conditions so please bear with me. Ist experience...

Hi All Had an incident today. Reverse kept jumping out from R to 3 after a couple of seconds. Went up and down the gate. Did it again and again. Repeated up and down the gate and after about 3 minutes panic appears to be clear.....but unnerving and need to know the reason. Had a friend check the...

Hi Have replaced all I can to try to settle my occasional warm starting problem. Happy to do this as I like to get to know the engine and after 80K miles replacing is no bad thing I reckon. However the only part yet to change that may have a bearing is the ECT sensor as apparently it is the...

Hi I have read about the recurring problem of water spraying onto passengers feet(get a new car she said!) so was able to check it all out today. Located the passenger well rubber pipe which was patently seeking to burst its banks so I went underneath where I was expecting a pipe coming sown the...

P38 Thor Hi I am currently changing the interior of my P38 so It has involved a fair amount of recolouring work. All; has gone great until refitting the glove box. Fitted the damper and hinges and closed it. Now it will not release even after a lot of quiet contemplation and shouting!! Any...

P38 4.0 Thor 2000 Hi All Just a quick one as I know its been covered before so apologies. I am going to invest in a Nanocom and just wanted to check that this is the correct up to date one? NANOCOM Evolution for Motronic P38 kit Code: NCOM07 Many thanks Simon

Hi all P38 Thor 2000. I have inherited a ghost. The auto locking engages and disengages at random moments when parked or when traveling and occasionally when I operate my garage doors.... but not always. Annoying trait and cant get my head round it. Any thoughts. Many thanks Simon

Hi all Have just had my ECU done by Mark at Tornado and he had all the injectors for a clean. Whilst this was going on I replaced the coils as well-much simpler without the manifold on and got the horrible lacquer off said manifold as well. It all went back in properly, without fuss or problems...

Hi all. Probably been done to death, this one, but my black dash switch surrounds are all tacky as if the original material has started to . Any ideas? Thanks Simon

P38 V8 2000 North Cotswolds Hi My flip key is tired and in need of a change. Also it is the only key I have which is worrying. I have noted the guys that replace the case and swap the guts over but I am loath to send off my only key.I also guess they use the same blade. I have also seen 'Keys in...

Drivers seat squab. Are they available and if so where please? Many thanks Simon

Little bulb for ignition barrel. What is the part no? Thanks Simon

Sunroof not working but manual operation is so probably the motor. Is that a fair assumption? Thanks Simon

CC. Pipes are fine but not good with a multimeter so best options. No clicking heard so relay? indicator switch lights but no CC indication on info bar? or.... just forget it?! Thanks Simon

Sorry I am a beginner on this forum and put this on the wrong 'starter' forum. I have a few small questions which I will now post. Rave.....know what it is but so many seem to have difficulties downloading it. Before I start(mine is a Mac) what's my best approach? I have a huge workshop manual...
