started up, gearbox fault. I'd left it overnight in neutral.. i know, i know. moved to R and got a grindy/whiny noise :eek: back to neutral quick!! D, no problem, back to R and it really thumped into gear :(
checked for faults and saw something about the selection switch value :/
Give the selector a few good few quick goes up and down the gate.. ;)
 
yep did that.. fingers crossed!!
Well it seems to be working normally!

Because I'm paranoid, no other reason, took the expansion cap off and it wasn't spitting the usually jet from the self bleed hole :( not even at 2000rpm.
Pipe is clear and I blew the other way into the radiator, that's clear too.
Could my new Airtex water pump be bad? :( Not overheating

Wondering if something could be broken in the expansion tank as i couldn't get a spurt of coolant by squeezing the top hose
 
Ooerr!! My usual umm.. technique never fails to produce the desired outcome o_O
The pipe is clear and if i blow down it, air comes out of the hole in the neck of the expansion tank so that's ok. Coolant comes out of the radiator bleed pipe. But maybe not fast enough, maybe i need to take the radiator off again and check for blockages
 
Popped to Chippenham to get the long haired colonel from work. Walking back to my P38 and she spots another one in the car park, I not so stealthily checked it out when I realised he was in it checking mine out. Probably thinking "that thing is a piece of ****".
Then driving along the Calne bypass and I see ANOTHER P38, I have him the finger wave and got a full force wave back. Clearly the P38 t-shirt brings me good tidings.

It was a good day. 13/10 would recommend.

A lass in a blue D2 gave a wave today and an Alveston red VSE ;)
