I usually see 11mpg from my 4.0l around the island. Better than the 9 I used to get out of the 5l V10 .... mind you the P38 puts out 189 bhp and the RS was 721 and 1027nm. Thankfully it’s gone.

Give the selector a few good few quick goes up and down the gate..started up, gearbox fault. I'd left it overnight in neutral.. i know, i know. moved to R and got a grindy/whiny noise
checked for faults and saw something about the selection switch value :/
yep did that.. fingers crossed!!Give the selector a few good few quick goes up and down the gate..
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 hoseWill it seems to be working normally!

How [cough] vigorous were you?
Ooerr!! My usual umm.. technique never fails to produce the desired outcome
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 blockagesOoerr!! My usual umm.. technique never fails to produce the desired outcome

OUCH!!!!!
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.
