Thanks Martyn Yep i agree with that 100%. Im pretty good with the spanners, and you guys have always seen me right. But it does make sence not to walk into one thinking there will never be any issues.

Cheers Saint! I appreciate that! I really do fancy one, as they look so much car for the money (the same as the P38 was 10 years ago!). I suppose its the same, you guys advised me of the Becm and Air susp problems on the P38's, but i was lucky. And to be fair, every issue that did come up...

So are we agreeing that the cheapest useable 52 plate L322 thats available is £10,500 ish? £7-8k for the motor then £3k's worth of problems? Again, please dont think im dismissing your help, or dont appreciate the advice.. Because i genuinely do. If thats what everyone is advising then i...

Moxeyman No mate. Even with all the help from the guys on here, i still havent got to the cause of it. In the end ive just parked the motor up ;( Shame because it is a lovely car, but just became so unreliable with the not starting. I ended up buying a big Merc, but its a bit...

Sensor swapped.. Fingers crossed!!!

Hmmmm no gaskets! Mind you it was off few week ago whilst changing glow plugs. May just chance it! ;) Are we thinking the sensor is reading too hot or too cold? Just wondering if when it cuts out next, if I plug a room temp sensor on the wire (not fitted to head) should it kid it too start...
