Hi, I'm hoping someone can advise me on this. I've seen similar threads but nothing exactly like my problem. I''ve got a 2.5 dse auto with 140k miles. I've changed the gearbox oil and filter about 15k miles ago. Very recently I've started having issues with nothing happening when I select either...

Ive had a problem for a while where ive had a slight vibration on the change up to top gear (automatic). Its generally at about 52mph and seemed worse under hard accelaration. It was like going over a cattle grid and only lasted a second or two. I Listened to advice on here and checked oil...

Any one with knowledge on this? I saw a post a while back which matched my symptoms but I'm buggered if I can find it now. The problem was very minor but is definitely getting worse. There are no problems in 1,2 or 3rd but when I get into 4th gear at just above 50mph I get a very hard vibration...

After quite a few months of my p38 jumping to wade height at random I used the easy unlock suite to identify a constant message saying front offside out of reach. Today I changed the sensor for a second hand "tested" sensor and one my slow 35mph comes on. I've read it again and it's the same...

Does anyone have any idea what's happening with my tailgate lock. It generally works fine but every so often refuses to open the lower section? You can't hear the electric click of the lock when you push the button but it does activate the vehicles central locking!!!!!!. This is often...

I took the advice from previous threads on how to test it and confirmed that my VCU was knackered. Took it off today (quite straightforward actually) and now need advice on whether to get brand new one @ £400 (approx) or a reconditioned one. There's a company called Bell who i think recon them...

I've been having problems when on full lock. Getting transmission wind up then a clunk. Seemed to be ok when driving straight so i assumed a VCU problem. I've taken the front prop off and its now going fine. Having read a few lines about how a vcu works, if i understand it; there are plates...

Hi. ive got a long journey planned this week (south wales to Harrogate and back) and was looking for a little advice/reassurance. Firstly the car has developed an annoying trait of rising up to wade height on its own. It only happens when i'm going up hill and turning at the same time, usually...

Anyone had this problem before. I've recently noticed that when i park uphill overnight, then it takes two or three turns to start in the morning. No issues downhill, starts first time every time (since i changed the glow plugs). It's like the diesel has run back to the tank and it takes a while...

I just noticed that when i took my auto diesel P38 onto the motorway my rpm was higher than normal. I was travelling at about 70mph and they were at 3000+. Pulled in and moved it up and down the box once while stationary and pulled back off. They then dropped to their normal level of about...

Do any of you know of instances where the filter housing is cracked? Its difficult to see but i seem to have a small leak somewhere underneath mine. It's definitely not the seal where the cooler pipes enter the block. Thats bone dry. Its not leaking from the top and running down either. :confused:

With all the other things i've been looking at i never really checked my tyre sizes. I noticed today that my rear tyres are 255,60 R18's while the front are 255,55 R18's. Is this within tolerances and would it have been done for a reason or mistake?

Can anyone throw any light on a drone that only seems to come in at about 1500 rpm. Its not the running gear because its also there when stationary. 100rpm either side its gone:confused2: By the way it a 2.5dhse with 120,000

I've searched a number of threads and have a number of options but whats the most likely. My 2000 dhse is blowing hot and cold out of different vents. I have completed 'o' ring work recently and also sprayed each blend motor with ptfe lubricant. The flaps seem to open the correct vents, its just...

I did a few jobs the other day including oil cooler pipes, power steering pipe and glow plugs. All went well but i did notice a few little bubbles and deisel coming from the seat of the nearest (to the front) injector. Driving it home today and up to temperature when i heard a really loud...

Driving home from work today in some of the worst rain i've seen and my central locking clicked up and down. This happened a few more times during the journey (my arm was nowhere near the button honest). Is there any particular central control unit which is prone to water egress. Don't know if...

Just a bit of advice from you lot. I'm changing the plugs this weekend and want any advice on which make. Bosch, NGK, Bearmach etc

Hi, wondered whether anyone can help. Only had the RR for 6 weeks and i'm slowly working my way through the common faults and thought i was getting there. Out for a drive today and my rear washer (which has never worked) suddenly came on and wouldnt go off (even with the key out). I ended up...

Hi, would anyone know if there are any compatible parts for a P38 wing mirror motor. Mine has decided to give up the up and down action (works fine side to side). Ive taken it apart (without breaking the clip:)) and it seems interchangeable but Bearmach are telling me its a complete unit. Ebay...
