    Right, Minus one this morning. Been out to her, de-iced windows and door handles! Fired her up and taken Daughter to start work for 6:00AM shift. Very icy, still a few inches of compacted snow / ice on my hill. 1st gear down the hill no problem, then up the other side and out onto...

    It's on the small (by P38 standards) list of things to fix. In the meantime I have a nice supply of microfiber cloths.

    Went over to my sister in laws for a party, in the Toyota. Saw the snow come down, so went home and swapped it for the P38. Glad I did. Went out @ 8:30PM and we had 4-5 inches of snow. Delivered nieces and nephews home, then set off with wife daughters and grandson. Demister...

    New RF receiver fitted, but battery still drains - any ideas?!

    If yours is an auto, check the red led on the P position on the parking selector when you've turned the ignition off. Mine still glows slightly even after a few minutes, unless I press the mode switch after turning the ignition off.

    Top End Refresh....

    It's the only oil I'd use in my TVR, but that engine is a pre serp. Serp engines should be OK with 10/40

    Top End Refresh....

    I've always run 20/50 changed every 3K miles in the TVR, but a good one like Valvoline VR1, however they have the older oil pump (pre serp) design. These old buick V8's weren't designed for thin oil IMHO. Will you need to set the preload on the rockers?

    P38 sticky accelerator

    It could well be the floor mat, I had exactly the same thing happen to me in the TVR a few years ago. I did lube up the throttle cable as well, just to be sure.

    Finally got around to fitting the upgraded lights, front and back. Don't worry though I've only upgraded to the 2001 spec clear lenses, no stooped L322 gubbins.

    P38 Diagnostics Tools

    Does anyone have any experience of the iCarsoft i930 kit? I've seen some demo video's but they seem to only show P38 from the THOR engines (99?) onwards. Has anyone used them on a pre 99 V8?

    New battery fitted. Fired up OK, EAS all pumped up. Gearbox oil checked, lovely red colour. Alternator is charging @13.7V, so looks good. Sat in her switched off and checked LED on Auto gearbox display. Glowing dim, waited 2 minutes still glowing dim. Pressed mode button on...

    Cheers, I've already unplugged the blue aerial wire. Made no difference. So I've cut the orange signal wire to the BECM from the RF. Battery might be knackered though, so I'm going to put a new one on this weekend. Luckily it's a 5th car, so not needed until the snow comes...

    Just thought I'd pop in here and introduce myself. I'm Steve, and I've just bought a 97P 4.0se P38a, to scratch my Range Rover itch. Done 107K miles, good test, not too shabby inside (heated leather +climate) Bodywork pretty good. Now she's been standing for a while, and I noticed a slight...

    Well I looked at a few over the weekend and bought one. Picked it up today, not a classic though a P38 (I know). Good luck with the sale of yours Clive.
