Ordered few treats.
10L oil £34!
new EBC ultimax front pads,
new sump and gearbox plugs (still no idea how old will come out I’m hoping Indy does the mot will have some way so it’s there ready),
new lift pump. Gone for cheapy I’m not buying VDO just to find out it won’t work or makes no difference. Chopped the boot so replacing is not big deal

Any breathers or even the rocker gasket above it?had a bad experience with trying to use helicoil
I've noticed the starter is wet with oil
A wash down with brake or cleaner and let it run and observe it from below while laid on your back with a beer in hand

While ours is still apart I am contemplating piggybacking a 2 core wire and a parallel duplicate button tucked in the boot somewhere in case the external fails. That way if the outside one fails it is just drop the rear seat and pop the button. Unless the actuator or latches fail.
But after the cleaning / lubing we gave everything I'm hoping that will be a long way off.

So that load you are carrying can hit you in the back of the head when you have to brake suddenlyWhy are there no hooks/tie-down points in the back of a p38? It's not the smallest load space

turns out it was just a dodgy switch, all sorted now though.

Think outside, no box required.
Every single 3.6 engine I used to get in with serious trouble would go in a skip so I don't have the torque specs to hand
