Sorry,it sounds like you are making a brand new P38 by buying parts.:D
Yes it does look that way albeit i am a firm believer in " Spend to save " in the long run so once my issue is finally fixed i hope to have at least one of the best running P38 2.5 DT's out there. That's the plan anyway so when the time comes to sell on at least i can list everything i have had done so the new owner will know exactly what they are getting for their money.

Plus i like to tinker as much as i can health allowing these days. Just wish i had the strength i had 20 years ago before ill health issues slowed me down. Keeping positive is my only real weapon today. I will get there and i will enjoy my newly aquired P38. That i am sure of.
 
I am tempted albeit i dont wish to cause any further damage so i shall refrane from doing so until its all here and fitted back on. I have also tonight bought a Turbo solenoid Boost valve as another process of illimination of those small items which i can change myself. It was only £32 with a 5 year warranty so worth a punt in my quest to solve my rough running issue.

I will be interested to know how you will fit that seeing as M51 P38s don't have them.

Beware shotguning parts onto p38s you can go round in circles.
Alan has a nice pair :eek: , he couldn’t decide petrol or diesel so had one of both :D

You’ll have to get used to the humour :)
Cheers buddy. My humour is usually bang on but please forgive me as i have been rather stressed these last few weeks with all these issues so near in to fresh ownership it has just blown me away with pain and hurt.
 
Mine has one Wammers in the rear of the engine bay behind the EAS box on the bulk head. It has pipes running off it to the Mapp sensor and also the EGR valve.

That is not what you think it is. It is possibly what is causing your problems. The Map sensor is a pressure operated sensor the EGR valve is vacuum operated. They cannot be interlinked.
