    P38A Stalls at idle

    So, as mentioned in other threads I'm picking my head at why she idles badly. Really rough and drops out on a whim. Today while putting air in a tyre I noticed when the revs dip I get a puff of blue smoke out the exhaust. My first thought was PCV dumping oil for fun, but then toyed with the...

    P38A Limp Home Mode?

    Howdy, driving the ol' bus and as I came to pull onto a roundabout I suddenly found I had no power, and no ability to rev above about 2-2.5krmp or get above 20mph. I can only presume it is a boost related issue, but I'd have thought I'd get a EML if the turbo stopped building boost. Had a quick...

    Reverse starts engine

    Howdy, never ventured in here before, figured I'd try it. So I have a 110 300tdi (R380 gearbox) at work that has had a fuse popping fault on the stop/indicator/reverse lamp circuit. While trying to fault find with the ignition on I placed it in reverse, at which point the vehicle started itself...

    P38A Chasing Gremlins

    Howdy howdy howdy, It seems whenever I fix one problem I get a new one show up the next day. So today's fault appears to be fuel related, but I can't figure what, If I have more than 3/4 of a tank, absolutely no issue what so ever. But once it drops lower than that, if I leave the bus...

    P38A FIP Seal Repair

    Howdy howdy howdy, So I think I have worked out why my bus loses power, the FIP is considerably wet with diesel, so I assume it is the seals have gone. As I am not confident with the fine tuning portion at the end of the job (I don't mind ****ing with the work fleet but hate working on my own...

    New Wheels

    Hi guiys, So I got some new wheels and the man in the shop told me they'd fit my car for sure, but for some reason I can't get them to fit round the brakes and the studs are in the wrong place. Can I get an adapter kit? Or would fitting coils help? Need help ASAP because I want the...

    Bling

    Morning, I'm looking at some bling for my pimpmobile and the only acceptable bling seems to be spot/driving lights. I've ready enough guides on how to wire them in (will probably still cock it up mind), but the bigger question is size. The standard seems to be 8", but one or two front on...

    Stuck at the side of the road

    Howdy, I was a bit of a div and pulled onto the grass at the side of the road to deal with someone who kept trying to phone me. As I was slowing down I knew I was already going to get stuck. Before I was able to do anything I came to an abrupt halt. My RR is now stuck axle deep. I've phoned...
