    Audio issue

    Still P38 Audio - different issue My 2001 with an Alpine unit is stuck on a set volume. Doesnt respond to steering wheel or rotary control. Also only the rear speakers work. Strangely however - sometimes if I am in the car without the engine running, the front speakers become live again and...

    Lift pump replacement

    I dropped the tank, removed original pump from end of corrugated flexi hose in sender / pump housing and replaced it with a very coarse filter (an inline unit - with the end cut off in a v). This allowed me to fit an external inline pump just forward of the tank. Why- well seeing how small the...

    Nanocom Evolution

    Hi Colin, Can I Clarify about the Nanocom Evolution for the P38 I take it that the base price covers one model of P38 (i.e any P38 of the same model) I also understand that software modules can be ordered at the same time to cover the other 2 variants of P38 - so covering all variants...

    Best Company for Defender Insurance?

    NFU agents often dont have a clue as to what is covered and what isnt! They misquoted the RTA to me. Had to put them back in their box. Other than that its flexible. It should be - if you have NFU insurance you are a member of the mutual. Mutuals should not make profit - the surplus is to be...

    no fuel getting to filter

    If you drop the tank again - suggest that you remove the in tank pump - you can simply pull it off the end of the flexble and replace with a section of straight nylon or a coarse mesh filter (use some large washers on top to keep it weighed down.) Note the colour of the wires feeding it as...

    coolant change help

    For those seeking to minimise corrosion in the system - if using dilutable antifreeze, consider using de-ionised water instead of tap water. It's not expensive.

    Car PC install, Where to put the screen??

    That sounds good. Have you also found any apps that interface via Bluetooth with the OBD to display data like turbo boost, could even show live fuel burn (mpg) which would be useful for those that don't have the trip computer. (As for the snipers - so what if the thread is resurrected. It's...

    Car PC install, Where to put the screen??

    I reckon a 6.1" or max 6.2" will fit. I am thinking of doing something similar to replace the nav system. I havent found an android or ipad mini app to do the job.

    lookjng for a new p38 advuce sought

    What would you winterise veg oil with? Probably best would be kerosene, and a small amount of petrol. Some people run veg 50/50 with diesel. Others 75/25 with kerosene. One is legal, the other you should volunteer the duty on. My aim was to reduce cost and solve the problem of waste veg oil...

    I've been in -5.c. Have 4 heating systems. See post on newbies section. WVO still heats well. I do keep car in warm garage though which helps. The return fuel is also heated so that helps too.

    Yes, agreed, but Veg is legal, without paying extra tax! Up to 2500 litres a year. It's easy to dilute in winter if you really need to. I normally run 100% all year.

    Story so far..... MPG Diesel

    I was thinking of diverting the engine breather into a separate collection bottle similar to that fitted to aircraft. This would prevent the inter cooler getting oiled up.

    P38 diesels are sweet on veg oil. Can't get cheaper motoring than that! (Assuming you can get cheap or free used oil).

    waste veg oil mix in a P38 2.5 DSE

    Well - did you go the Bio route? I started with 20% WVO then up to 50% in the summer. When the vehicle got harder to start - time to decrease ratio. I then converted my P38 using a 20l startup tank. The main tank holds the veg. I have pipe in pipe heaters from the tank to the engine bay...
