    Diesel tuning, taken further...

    Anyone ever taken the 2.5 further than the usual remap? Manual boost controller for that little bit extra? Bigger turbo? Etc? If so, how do you go about increasing the fueling to cope? Interested to hear anything....

    When was P38 facelift / differences between diesels

    Can I just chip in with a related question..... What is the difference that makes a DT a few BHP & torque less than a DSE? On the remapping sites they always seem to be listed with separate power outputs on the same years. I thought it was purely trim that was the difference?

    Load space dimensions of a P38?

    Cool, sounds not bad at all! Thanks.

    Load space dimensions of a P38?

    A mattress being squeezed in sounds quite promising! Do the back seats fold flat then (if you are able to get some extra space by moving the front seats forward as that would suggest...?

    Load space dimensions of a P38?

    hmmm, doesn't sound that big! Would be interested to hear what the maximum length would be....

    Load space dimensions of a P38?

    MK2 Astra held more than an 850 Estate?! Don't remember the Tardis edition....

    Load space dimensions of a P38?

    I've not come up with anything after searching..... looking to see what the load space is in the P38 with the seats down. Basically I move very large picture frames about quite often in my Volvo 850 at the moment, hoping that a P38 will be as big (or even bigger). So the sizes that are most...

    Too new. I believe they came out later in the run? It would be getting added to my classic insurance, so has to be over 15 years old.

    P38: LPG vs Diesel

    So how much should I budget for? I'd ideally like a well maintained early P38 diesel auto. Not too bothered about minor cosmetics (small dents/scrapes), but do want a nice well kept interior and some decent MOT. The only bit of spec I particularly want is cruise control. Would I be right in...

    Would only buy a non-LPG V8 if it was very good and silly cheap I've decided. I just do too many miles to justify MPG in the low teens!

    P38: LPG vs Diesel

    Definitely more love coming through for the diesels on here at the moment, I thought the V8s would be getting praised left right and centre! (I'm in Glasgow, just not got round to filling in the profile on here yet....). Looking around, it seems to be usable MOT'd older P38s go from between...

    Interesting reading guys! So how much nicer an experience is the V8? I take it the diesel is pretty old skool, is really that rough?

    In that time have you done 40 miles? :D Just joking, but seriously. I'd like to hear more, what kind of use has it had, was it an especially expensive/well kept one you bought?

    Good to hear a fairly positive report on the TD! Always liked the styling of the P38 to be honest. And also I've got 8 cars as it is, so probably best not too spend any more than I really need too! lol
