Not quite true, there is space on the P38 albeit smaller either side of the spare wheel well, would take a 17Ah sealed battery I think.no such space in the p38

Some know that the ABS light does not go out until 5mph is exceeded, so maybe he didn't road test it?yes, though I'm not sure how he passed it, the ABS sensor fault was still current last night

Mine blows hardest through the face vents, rest not so powerful. Biggest gain I had was from taping up the ducting in the dash

My HVAC made an odd noise a few weeks ago and got stuck on the windscreen, reset the faults and gave the top of the dash a good bash got it back in line.

I cannot help but think this could be beefed up a bit. I've got an old Flymo leaf-blower somewhere ...

Still missing on one cylinder at start up, fine after a few minutes. Fuel trims seem ok but could it be an injector leaking while the engine is off and flooding the cylinder? If it was spark related then surely the other cylinder of the pair would also have a problem?

Can you identify which cylinder it is? If so is it possible (relatively) easily to swap the injector with another cylinder? Probably not on the Bosch with those bananas, but easier on the GEMS. If it is No2 and you swap the injector with No8 for instance, does it move the fault?
Is it something flaky in the wiring which starts firing the injector when warm but misses until then? Just cleaning injector wires / leads / injector sockets worth a try?

#3 was showing as rough last time i checked, the others were ok. Taking the upper manifold off to get to the injectors is a royal pain with the coolant going through the throttle body!
The plug looks ok, good colour etc, might try some injector cleaner

Changed the spark plugs and cleaned the throttle butterfly and the IACV...
The result.
One smooth motor! Ignore the terrible audio quality!

As I only get to use my beast for a few months a year I still often get that I love this car feeling. I needed to take the long haired colonel on a mission today to various parts of the city as only a woman can organise things to be at opposite ends of the city with not much time between appointments and your last place is near where the first place was!!! However, it was cold, wet and dark. The beast started on the button as always, and as for driving in a busy city today I just didn't mind. Long runs between destinations, plenty of heat in the cab, lots of uses of Vladimir's new roads and just a reminder of how nice these 21 year old vehicles are. Yes today was one of those big smile days. The power of the V8 and the comfort of the big leather seats.... why would you want anything else?? And now I have praised it I have probably jinxed it and I'll be immobilised in car park in minus temperatures like I was a few years ago cursing the bugger. . So moral of the story is "live for today and just enjoy the bugger when you can" What's not to like.

Today, I've had the rear right panels off to get to the filler neck breather bits. Most of the way to sorting out the vacuum I keep getting in my tank!

Put some diesel in the scarpper and the rubber filter thing on the end of the Jerry can spout dropped off and disappeared down the filler neck. Feckin' arse.
