Hi all Haven't been on for a while as leant my P38 to Dad. I'm getting it back tomorow for a trip to Yorkshire soon. Am after some advise. He's told me there is a slight leak coming from the top of the pump. He says it's from the very top cover where it bolts to pump. Not major but...

Cheers Wammers. Will try clean the plug tommorow. I seem to have the hot start problem every time I stop now. Even tho I have the hot fix box fitted. Even pouring cold water isn't as effective anymore and have to leave it till goes cold. Dreading it may be time for new pump? :0(. Where do I...

Hi all. Guys, re my last ongoing issue with my 96 DSE P38 not starting.. As you may or may not have read i was so close to giving up..The car would randomly not start when hot, but fired ok when i poured cold water over the deisel pump..... I already had a Hot Start Fix Box fitted from Ebay...

Hi guys At wits end with this thing now. Glow plugs changed. Battery changed. Leak off pipes changed. Fuel filter changed.... Had the "hot start" box off EBay fitted but this was when the fix had first been identified. Broke down yesterday and now the cars so close to being broken for...

Hi guys! Thanks for all advice. Rang round everyone and cheapest I could find was £185. Heartbreaking, but went and got it! Already been warned it's a poxy job by Barry (Dakar 4x4, where I got it from). But he's put fear of hell up me about taking the old one off and leaving the striped Ali...

Hi guys Bit in trouble here. Am up in Warwick for weeks hols and have split the Auto G/Box Rad. The small Ali one behind the front bumper N/S/F. Everywhere seems outta stock. Does anyone know if any other model fits? Guy on EBay has cooler for a 4.0 P38 auto? Or are they model specific...

Sorry for all the questions guys. Guy that was gonna get my Beru Glowplugs from has sold out. But has "Delphi" ones. Anybody have any experiences with them? Or shall I go for NGK's? Cheers. LTel

Guys. Dunno if anybodys got any thoughts. But I changed the leak off pipes (including the one same size hose that runs from manifold to little black switch on top of fuel filter bracket. Used proper leak off hose. Took car for blast round block and all started drove ok. Jumped in it next...

Nan-ber "hope this helps" Mr yeah I'm really appreciative of any advice! Thank you all for taking time to help! 130ah batts comming Monday. Have done leak off pipes. The glow plugs have been needing two hits for the last few months so ordered the Beru ones this morning. Just gotta stop at main...

Thanks for all your advice guys. It's really appreciates. Will stick the new battery on and grab a set of glowplugs from main dealer. Am I right thinking I'll have to drop inlet manifold off or can you struggle round them? ... Sorry, not being lazy but cars at home and I'm at work. Wanna ring...

Guys. Have found a Alphaline 130 power 1000 cold cranking for £100. Delivered from batt company on net. 4 year gaurantee. Sound sensible? Or am I better offgoing with a better make 95amp 850 crank more common for same money?

Cheers datatek. Your a star. Thanks guys!

Cheers guys. I'll get the biggest I can! What we reckon £100? The battery is only a year old but understand they can go bad

My only concern is I thought all a diesel needed to fire was fuel and compression. Which is why I can't get my head round the fact it's not even attempting to fire on easy start? Or am I wrong? Thanks guys Appreciate your help Tel

Thanks for the responses guys! The car drives and pulls 100% so I'm guessing the fuel pumps are ok? .. Have had the battery tested a few times and always been told it's ok. I think I'll definitely put one on the weekend anyway as winters comming. The in car entertainment is all upgraded. But...
