Thanks very much, I'll strip it down over the next few days in that case. I was amazed just how much water had found its way. So far I've put it down to a poor rubber seal which wasn't pushed onto the seam at the lower tail gate. Thanks again, i'll report back with progress.

This wasn't on the work in progress list until we had to drive through some minor flood water. Since this I've had the suspension inactive msg come up. All the light are lit and the cars in the standard height. I took out the sparewheel and was met with over an inch of water in the wheel well...

Is there a kanck to getting the interior light cluster lense off?? Im gradually working through my list of job (only had this car a couple of months) and so far cracked the MID repair, fitted new ribbon myself to the instrument cluster and a few other bits but I can fit an interior bulb! The...

Old thread but incase anyone else is pondering having a go.... I thought I would try the cluster repair ribbon having done the MID with success and I'm pleased to say all went very well and I now have a full LCD of pixels. You dont need to remove the needles although by doing it this way you...

Ive just done the pixel repair on the speedo having done the MID repair last month. Just fitting dash back in and Im well impressed. Defo worth a go and took me around 3 hours with the drilling of the hidden screws the only tricky bit

Matt, Just a quick thank you. Took the car to work tonight so I could see what I was doing. Sure enough, spring had snapped. 30mins of my time and job done. Massive thanks, Cheers Dan

Hi Matt, thanks for that. I'll take a look online and see what I can find. Just seems off though that if I apply weight and press the unlock button it actually stays shut. Cheers Dan

Ive just been outside in another desperate attempt to get it for the night, if I push the upper part of the tailgate (hard all my weight and Im 15st +) at the catch point and press the tailgate buttom at the same time it stays shut so.....what does this point to please as my first thought was...

Hi All, Im hoping for some urgent pointers on this is poss. Ive searched the forum and found 4 pages but none that relate to this. Having just returned from walking the dog in the pouring rain I went to shut her in the boot and the top section of the tailgate will simply not shut. Ive...

Super old thread I know but I tried the MID repair ribbon in my 2002 L322 HSE last weekend. It started out with no pixels at all and come the end I can now see them all, ok, they are quite faint but better them faint than not visible at all. (any ideas why they would be so faint?) I've been...

I had this on mine a couple of months ago. It was infact the small vacuum pipe, it has split just where it enters through the bulkhead. It wasnt obvious just peering down, took the trim off the underside of the dash and repalced, hay presto all good now.

Had this over christmas although only the lower section. Can you hear the motor/soloniod trying to work when you press the button?

Dont know if he can help but theres a chap in Tavistock, Mark Kelly (have a look in yellow pages). He looks after our servicing and so on and has done for several years, he is a REALLY helpful chap and I can highly recomend him.

Ok, I'm praying its something simple like that. Only doubt I have with regards to the above is I cant see any major or minor leaks near or on the pump. Where on the pump is the output shaft, ie is it visable from the top of the engine pearing down? Thanks for your help.

I've just ordered a new water pump but nipped home at lunch to see if there was any obvious leak from the current pump. From what I can see theres not, this may be normal what I would call the outer plate of the pulley cuts in and out intermittently, when its spinning the pumps makes a slight...

Ok, thanks very much. The battery light wasnt on although the lights both inside and outside of the car seemed dim but I thougth I may have been imagining this but it appears maybe not. Is it comon for a pump to fail almost instanley like that, as I say, I'd put the heaters down to something...

Hi all, Hopefully looking for some confirmation on my problem. We only use our P38 for short trips ie 4-5miles a throw, a couple of days ago I noticed that no heat was coming from the vents, screen or any setting. I done a search on here and narrowed it down to the heater control motors (cant...

Hi All, As I have time on my hands I want to try and get a couple of electrical issue sorted on my 1999 P38. The rear wiper motor doesnt want to play, I've checked the fuse and it seems ok the rear c/lights and lugauge light which I think runs from the same fuse are working, I've replaced the...

When I have done this will the door open and close on the handle but not lock at all (in a perminent unlock) or will it be unclose-able/un-openable? Thanks Dan

Hi all, Having a bad week of it here!!! To start of with the battery died, no great problem here but I just wanted to check that it was my battery so unlocked with the key and got in, clocked seem about right so I put the hazzards on, I could hear the relay clicking but no arrows flashing, so...
