Hello, A friend has a 1997 P38 diesel with a blown head gasket. He left it to do for a few weeks and the battery went flat. Re-charged it but now it won't start. Dashboard is lit up like a bleddy Christmas tree! It cranks but not firing.
I told him he'll need an expert so better ave a glass of scrumpy, tis gonna hurt like. To avoid anybody getting over enthusiastic with what's wrong with it and charging a small fortune, can anybody give me an idea of the step by step logical sequence, a sort of general road map, of elimination to solve the problem, so we'll know if the guy we call knows what he's doing. I'm only used to RRC's and the odd disco 1. This RR is a box of tricks. I can grow potatoes and cook a chicken (a little cider making) but that's about it. Yeah, I'm from Devon, koor thers's a lovely cider farm just up the lane, hansom when yuur a bit head achey like after looking at the P38. Though tis a nice rangey for 20 yurs. hate to see it scapped. Now Burt is a bit fed up like.
Any help would be appreciated, if passing by anytime on the A30 to Cornwall you can stop for a bit of rough, cider that is! Cheers, Paul
