think my ABS isnt working.. no error codes when i checked the other day, wheels stayed locked up on very muddy road this morning and was starting to go sideways
 
If you hit the brakes and all four lock up then the system will not kick in as there is no difference in wheel speed, it just thinks you have stopped, i had my old van do that on a wet road hit them so hard and quick it just locked up all and slid unfortunately in to the back off a car ☹️

Not sure it is the best test as you were in mud. What speed? Better test it on normal surface. Preferably whilst turning under breaking. Good luck!

Didn't think I'd hit the brakes that hard, I've never had that happen before where abs didn't work. Didn't feel/hear the usual abs interactions. I'll try again on way home
 
anyone ever bother with premium diesel? its cheaper than shop bought additives which are generally considered snakeoil.
seen youtube videos where folks do before/after videos on additives, but never fuel.
does it actually clean, or 'help maintain' an already clean system?
Back in the day this never existed, I think they just up the price to make more £££ at the pump, a lot of gullible ppl out there buying snake oil.
 
Well Big Phil the P38 went in for his MOT this morning.. after 3 passes on the trot with only the occasional minor he..

…passed again! But this time a few more minors, gives me a little winter project at least! (On top of all the other bits!)

So:
Front N/S & O/S anti roll bar ball joints
Front discs
ALL airbags perishing
Rear N/S & O/S tyres beginning to crack

All in not bad for a 159k mile P38!

"ALL airbags perishing" isn't what they do? they are always perishing, even when doing nothing.

Tbh I’m pretty sure the car came out of the factory with the air bags perishing!

In fairness I’m very pleased with the outcome, I daily the car and was expecting a lot more. All the above seems bits I can DIY with the odd bit of help here and there!
