Unless you can prove whatever went on, how far do you take things? If this garage is a bad at its looking, what apart from reporting to trading standards is there he can do? knowing what went on is far different to proving it in court if it goes that far

lost emails, hanging up, lost cause i think

Have you tried turning the engine over by hand with the spark plugs out, to check its not binding at all

18 different vehicles outside 18 different houses too

its ok ive signed him up to all sorts ;)

Its not downhill assist, even though they use a pic of a car going down a steep hill, like the one they do use for downhill assist, in a P38 its just a pic to tell you to use this gear for going down steep hills,

how much bloody marmite????????

there's a classic in grange over sands, 25000 miles and its £45000! might be a while before a p38 gets to that sort of price

have you at least checked the fluid level?

well it looks like you put the black adapter plate straight onto the taper spindle and then just pushed that up through the capping cover should have been an adapter ring that fits around the spindle and pushes on the barrel of the ball joint that you then push up and out

try the compressor off the car to check it does actually run

With the hevac book symbol, mine was doing that, it would come up just after turning ignition on, I found if i immediatley pushed the air con button turning the air con off the book symbol wouldnt appear, i traced it to worn cluch plates on the air con compressor, system was wanting air con, it...

So you think a risiing rate beepng noise will avoid bumps..........good luck with that :)

To be honest the previous owner is not the only one, if you were planning on going off road in one why didnt you buy a less well kept one? From what you have posted it sounds like your going to have pleasure in taking a really nice low milage example of the P38 and your just gonna wreck it. Your...

all of it....so the hells angels have to drag up before they set off now?
