There is a breaker in ramsgate Kent called classic lse, he does p38 and classics and I found him very helpful. He also trades on eBay I believe? He has loads of stuff at his place! I bought a new bonnet from him and couldn't fault him.

Also my workshop manual says the ecu supplies a voltage of 0-12 v but no mention of return feeds?

Thanks for replys, only thing that's concerning me is if I connect a pressure gauge to rail and prime it it reads 2.5 bar. If I do this and clamp feed and return pipes to the rail the pressure drops to nothing very quickly? Where is the fuel going to loose the pressure? Hence me thinking...

Been playing with a voltmeter today as my p38 is running rich and I suspected injector fault. All injectors have a permanent feed to them with ignition on so fuel is just flooding into the engine hence running at 9.5%! are there any known faults to cause this? Many thanks in advance.

You been there too?

Just got it running somewhere about right so taxed it yesterday and insured it. Thought I'd take it down the work shop and set the gas up as I thought it was running lean. Anyway got it on the ramp and the gas analyser on it when I heard a crackling sound. Looked under the bonnet to find it...

Mine is the early three pin Lucas unit which is the expensive one apparently.

Well touch wood mad sensor seems to have done the trick! Went pattern part in the end as genuine one was £935! Got pattern one for £72. Will get it out and road tested in next few days and see. Cheers for help

My boss has an 08 tdv8 vogue it has only done 8k and he was offered 34k against a new one! He has kept needless to say!

Right my clarion diversity has never worked since I've had the car. Chap I bought car off removed it smoke was pouring out of it one day!!? Just wondered if anyone knew if any cd changer compatible clarion head unit would work? Just seems a shame to put another stereo in and loose the changer...

Just use the old fashion bottle method, piece of vacuum pipe on the nipple and other end in a bottle with the end sat in some fluid. Just simply pump the pedal till the air bubbles stop in the bottle then do nipple up. You'll be fine.

Well disconnecting the plug would rule out the sub and amps or it would point blame at them? Put a meter on wires check for any resistance? Could show up a fault to either of them? I hate electrics too but it's not that hard really.

Well on mine I put the gear selector into the middle of high and low boxes and removed fuse 15 and it locks it there?? That's how I towed mine to workshop when it wouldn't go?? But I could have been wrong it seems? Oopps.

Could you disconnect sub wire from stereo to rule that out? Then if still blows disconnect lights one at a time and so on? Time consuming I know if it takes a while to blow. IMO I wouldn't stick a bigger fuse in really as it's not actually fixing it and could course more permanent damage to...

If I'm correct fuse 15 also is the one you remove to lock the gearbox in N for towing? Assuming yours is auto that is? So something else to look at as cause?

As has already been said not alot really. IMO first mistake is going to main dealer as with huge over heads and a lack of work about I would say they want ya money? Get underneath and look, even if you done have mechanical experience common sense will tell you if oil leaks are bad of not? Little...

Assuming it's a p38 then tank removal is easy mate. I had my tank out and back in again on saturday in less than a hour. I do admit i had car on a pit! But have done it on floor before and not alot longer to be honest.

Cheers David I'll enquire at euro car parts as I have one local to me.

My thoughts were that its alive as it registered a fault hen unplugged? I can get one for 68 quid so will prob just stick it on anyway. I haven't cleaned it yet so will remove it at lunch and try it first.

Sorry for delay. I've used k-seal dozens of times on various different cars and never had any back yet! Bloke I work with had head gasket gone on his focus and it was ****ing water into number 2 cylinder! Put k-seal in and with in 10 minutes picked up onto 4cyls again and still going strong! So...
