    P38A Air lines over the rear axle

    The exhaust snapped above the axle melting the air lines that go above the chassis along the rear axle. Does anyone have a link to the diagram of this as the line to the offside bag looks ok as this is fed along the chassis down the offside. There looks to be another line on the offside...

    Engine Rattle.

    Id say it was either the cat or a failed cam tappet or maybe a broken rocker shaft. Not a lot else it could be apart from your air con pump bearing /clutch. Take the top cover off the fan and pull the throttle cable. If the belt moves backwards or forwards theres a problem at the front end

    Rough running

    Take the idle control valve off and see if the spindle inside rotates freely. There may be a little soot in there . I would spray a little wd40 in there and quickly twist it like a bike throttle. The spindle should rotate freely whilst doing this

    could be coil pack . If your gas is not set up correct then your fuel trims will be all over the place. You can check this with a cheap ODB II plug in diagnostics (£20-30) and also read/clear any faults. Could be your idle control valve. Gearbox faults only come up when your output...
