Thank you - I did use the search function - but I'm not looking for an android stereo - I searched for various phrases relating to after market reversing camera and did not find a relevant answer.

Nice - I like those. Thanks.

Thinking about something like this - ignore the fact its 2U and obviously won't fit - lets just assume for now that it will. Anyone tried one of these...

Ah, I misunderstood - so if the camera goes kaput - it still works as an ordinary reflective mirror?

Yeah, the ones I got (put a forward facing one in the front bumper at wading depth) were supposed to be waterproof but conked out in the first river crossing. They did come back online when they dried out but a few more dunkings and the front one...

I had the same problem and it was basically the lambda sensor throwing a fault causing it to go into restricted performance mode.

Thanks. But i’m not sure that I want to substitute a camera for my rear mirror. Cameras are unreliable and where i use them, likely to get covered in mud, whereas i can always rely on my mirror.

What no diagnostics with you in the car?

AA were the same with me. Now with Auto Aid but never had to use them.

Lol! Surprisingly, the RAC sub contractor did. Ran full diagnostics, found lots of faults, including the ride height control module. Tried to reset the ride heights, clear codes, but all to no avail. It’s with my usual mechanic now, so I’ll...

Chains always stretch a little and the pinions wear too but I have one on 147K miles and I think the other is on 242K kilometers running on original chains tat I do not intend changing. I think regular oil changes with good quality oil is the...

That screws the bearings, it does not gum up the rings. That happens when the car has been left standing, ask me how I know :rolleyes:

Towing is one thing I want it for. keeping an eye on a trailer. Which camera did you use?

I hope so because Wolf Box want £310!

Are they any better than the £60 no-name versions ?

Yep think amazon had a special for £99

Thanks - your Green P38 sounds like exactly what I'm after. What did you use for the camera and for the dash screen?

Just get a wolfbox 840

Hi all, Thinking of getting a reversing camera for the p38. Anyone got any experience of doing this and any recommendations for good ones or ones to avoid?

I got an LED spotlight and mounted it from that hole in the wheel-well. Ran power out to it and then used a relay off the reversing light wire at the rear light cluster. You can't see the light unit unless you go looking underneath but when I...

No relay required to use the 12S connection. The wires you want are the Red/Green and the Black is earth.

Only if they are adapted to fool the light monitor 👍

I'd put the standard bulbs back into the reverse lights and just do a temp wiring job to see if all gels well. As long as the aux light your fitting is adapted to bulb detection systems like the 38 has then it should be OK and as the new part is...

Great idea😩

Had you been using your cruise control on the motor way ? I only ask as your car uses the rear brakes only to help maintain cruising speed so can often lead to hot rear brakes

True. The fan blades smashed in the water then the rad overheated at low speed up a steep track and literally exploded! Now use an after market fan with a switch. Have upgraded from Keith’s Air con hack.

Usually the fan fails by failing to lock up. I've never heard of one exploding on a P38A, although that doesn't mean it isn't possible. It certainly can be damaged by wading although so far I have been lucky and it just chucked water all over the...

Joined the M23 from Gatwick heading towards M25 yesterday evening. Suspension fault, down to bump stops, managed to get to one of those emergency lay-byes. then waited for RAC. From 9:00pm until 1;00 am on side of motorway, then until 2;00am...
