Cut a power box out of a DHSE..
Changed the gearbox oil..
I hate remapping..
The oil was like pond water..
Shifts alright though, hopefully it isn't completely ruined.

Dry this afternoon Alan really spring like 17C and sunny, the island is still half flooded though
Good temperature for working on the car, no frozen fingers.
Not trying to!
There's pros and cons to all of them.
I still love the p38 but for daily motorway driving the L322 is far superior in my opinion.

Yes - by miles - get over 30mpg out of my 4.4 and superb luxury.
Bloody good off-road too - but a tad expensive to maintain when taken through the mud.

Changed front wiper blades for Bosch aerowotsits, went to do the back one and my tailgate button don't work no more. Bollocks.

Might get lucky switching the ignition off at the right moment. Of course, you still won't be able to open the boot.

The wiper isn't so bad I can't live with it for a while. And the tailgate will have to wait a fortnight until I can look at it.

Usual candidate is centre microswitch on driver's lock actuator.

If it is that then @martyuk is the man for you. Unfortunately I think he was running low on stock.
Cars prior to '98 are easier to fix.

If you are good at bending into weird angles you can get the tailgate open from inside

Have you somewhere dry to park overnight? Stick a slab of cardboard under the back - will show any drips (or possibly cats **** if in street)
Only other thing I would say is make sure it’s greased/fluids topped up, if it ain’t dripping will last til weather dries in few months.
Nah, L322 mate. Never done one on p38 so can't comment.
To be fair, if I had to do the belt again it would be easy. Just first time is always difficult when space is tight.
