Hi Saint & Hippo 2003 TD6 Yes Oil Cooler replaced, or at least the invoice says so.......... Cornwall & Devon Transmissions. My nearest. After that I believe it's a hike up to Bristol from Cornwall. Regards

Hi Guys Picking up on my thread of January 2014. Gearbox was replaced under warranty and recon unit fitted by specialist but not main dealer. Been back twice since with Trans Fail and each time I've been told valve block failure. She's back for her 3rd (presumably another block) on Monday...

Thanks Guys. I'll have a search around on RRnet. It's certainly re-assuring that a dash fault may not always be recorded. Perhaps I've caught mine before complete melt down. I'll advise my Specialist on Monday hoping that he'll agree to swapping the whole unit out plus Torque Converter and...

Good evening and Happy New Year to you all! Dispatched my (120k miler) L322 to gearbox specialist today to repair what is suspected to be traditional GM box fault(s). Have been experiencing lack of movement in "D" each morning on first start up and get going only by sliding across into manual...

A big thanks to the above three - Bix, Saint & hippo. You've nearly succeeded in putting me off!! Budget is a BIG problem and a tough call to make but I rather fancied the newer model than a lower mileage high spec P38. Perhaps I should re-think. Anyway off on a hunt over the weekend and...

Hi Guys. My 'tired old girl' finally bit the dust in an icy accident when the good lady was "driving". I'm now looking to upgrade to an early 02 - 04 L322. Sadly funds pressure only permits me to looking the bargain basement / high mileage bracket. Any tips on what to avoid? I'm a little...

Hi Guys Sorry for the delay in replying. Thanks for all your advice, your assistance has led me to establishing that the VCU is seized. Have this morning ordered a replacement from Ashcroft Transmissions and will look forward to fitting this next week. Regards Ian

Thank you Gentlemen for all your advice. The prop has been split and re-assembled in the correct manner. (it only fits comfortably one way on the splines). I'm presuming that a poorly front diff is what took the uj's out in the first place. Will conduct test as soon as I can get back...

What started out a couple of weeks ago as a gentle vibration / shudder at around 30mph has got the beating of me. Symptoms have gradually got worse which prompted 'pit inspection' yesterday afternoon. Good news is we found 2 x badly worn/seized uj's on the front prop. Having replaced both...

Hi guys. Thanks for all the tips, it turned out to be a coroded / loose battery terminal:rolleyes: However a knock on fault is that the old dear won't lock remotely (via the key fob). I can lock via the key in the door and everything else seems to function ok. Have followed the handset...

Seemd a bit strange that all fuses would go, where's the "fusable link" located?

Went to start my P38 last night, turned key, all usual lights came on, waited for glow plugs to go out, turned key................... and everything, I mean everything went dead. No intruments, no interior lights, no an ounce of juice anywhere. Any ideas before I call in the expensive...

Yes it is a P38, and I should have put that it's the handbook signal and not a triangle!! Everything else seems to work fine, I can direct hot and cold to where I want it, A/C output temperature does not feel as cold as it could be, but otherwise everything ok.

Hi Guys The warning triangle has popped on without warning accompanied by a blower motor that won't seem to shut off. The motor seems loudest behind the intrument panel Drivers side. Any Clues before I give my main dealer a fist full?

Hi guys (Gals?) Where's the best place to download a copy of rave ? I've got an old P38 1996. Which version do I need ? thanks

Still haven't had chance to look yet but I have got it to move intermittently. More motor than regulator I think. May be even wiring or connections. Will let you know.

Hi Guys. O/s front window on my P38 won't close and displays message that it's "not set". All the others work fine. Where should I start ? Wife says it went down ok but stopped halfway up and wouldn't go any further. Is it motor or the outstation ?:confused: Hi forgot to say, can't hear...

Cheers Matt, I'll check the neutral bit tomorrow. Tried a download of a manual on Saturday but it didn't work so I'll search for RAVE. Cheers Ian

Indeed Matt, that's where mine came from. What's the score on a "low ratio" that won't engage. Been putting up with this for nearly 12 months now. Bought a new motor and put it on the other day but still no joy. Have been underneath with an electirc meter but seems to be no power getting...

Excellent Matt, thanks. Took a little longer than 30 minutes for my "first time" but got there in the end. Locking pin didn't want to come out at all and ended up being sheared off but never mind a handy bit of fencing wire came to the rescue to refit. Levelled up nicely now for a day or two...
