Cheers mate but its not for me as its been LPG'd and has a big dent/lift lump in the rear bumper. WTF lpg installers put the filler on the side of the cars panel i will never know especially when the P38 has 2 x perfectly usable holes in the bottom of the rear bumper for an LPG filler.

Cheers anyway.

The bumper is replaceable though

At this rate it won’t be long until you can build one from scratch off bits from the garage floor

Or open his own supply shop

Went to get something from the RR today and key fob not working, spare works fine. On checking batteries in fob one ok other dead. This has happened twice now over past 12 months with both fobs. All batteries were brand new Duracell's with expiry date 2009. Is it just sh*te batteries these days or some thing else?

Ok.

Worth a try though!

The lump in the bumper is just the plastic and easy to rectify, the hole in the rear wing is also fixable..

A great motor though!

Can anyone suggest why the p38 Bosch ecu has an output for hill descent control, when the p38 doesn't have the facility?

It does kermy!!
Look at your gear lever. It's the number one slot in the low gear side.

RisforRacingnotReverse · May 2, 2021

A bit of polish and all is right with the world! Just don't look too closely or you'll see the rusty bonnet

I thought that was just indicating to use 1 for downhill just as you would in a series motor. Does it engage the brakes/abs too?

From memory, it uses engine braking by doing witch craft to retard the engine.

Done some more digging, wabco D has an optional HDC module. Wonder if it was only used on special builds..

We all have our beady little eyes on them don’t you worry lol.
Generally it’s crap batteries wherever you go, I had issues with my fob got old stock batteries been fine for years since. Went back some time later to see if there were more there for Alan but they’d gone. Luck of the draw I’m afraid me old mate.

Had a useful day where I got around to restoring the Window buttons in the centre console.
Less than an hour and all the windows now work perfectly.
Next job is the front locks - although rather than just replacing them, I've decided to replace the motors and look to reduce the power in the RF.
Just waiting for some motors to be delivered from ebay - that's next weeks job sorted!

I know when I've gone down a particularly steep slope with no brakes engaged at all, the engine will adhere and if its over run at all something will nip up the over run and keep it on check. I may be wrong but it works a bloody treat.

I've not found any hills to go down in low box yet. Does you have the hdc module fitted?

How many miles to require the steering box needing adjustment?

It depends I adjusted mine at 125k

I'd say you only adjust when there is excessive free play,
