Thank you very much - I just bought one of the propshaft bolt tools - ill follow the next steps once it arrives! Much appreciated!

4 year old bump but give me a moment... ;) I could really do with some help on this before I have to give up and send it to a garage! I too have a failed front shaft, rear uj and can't for the life of me figure out how to get to the bolts. Seems to be 14mm bolts with lock nuts but I just can't...

Well, I took your advice and bought an MSV2 - now to get on with clearing some faults and getting to the root of my P38's issues! Thanks for the guidance here on the AC side of things, I'll be attempting an investigation this weekend into a "(32) Compressor clutch control circuit open or short...

Sorry to drag up this old thread, but having just received my MSV2 I used it yesterday to clear the 14 odd HEVAC faults I had, so I could actually get to the one I was interested in. Clearing/reading is fine for me. I believe BBS have found an issue with clearing HEVAC fault codes in both the...

thanks gents - stuff for me to check over the weekend! Blast of compressed air should clear the injector recesses - and I'll try and spot any leaks around the filter :) much appreciated.

Afternoon all. P38, 1998 2.5 derv. Had cold (and hot) start issues previously. Hot start fix works perfectly. Cold start issue helped immeasurably by replacing leak-off pipes after reading advice here. Also, slight smell of derv which I thought was due to the leak off pipes, but now i've...

christ - I think our definition of "DIY Finance" differers somewhat! ;)

Is there a DIY finance level tool for reading the codes? Presumably an eGay special generic OBD2 reader isn't the right tool for the job...

Thanks for the tips - I naturally lurked here for about 2 months before actually registering so I've seen what's what - looks to be a great resource :) I think I've got a reasonable condition car - I had the machine polisher out on her today (first time for her I'm sure judging by the state of...

Thanks for the welcome :) I'm familiar with forum etiquette thankfully, so did my best! And I do have humour (otherwise I'd not have pulled the trigger on a RR!) so hopefully the ribbing that I'm bound to get here over the coming years won't be too harsh :p I've already done some simple things...

hi all. First post, so I'll make it simple :p I'm the proud owner of a 1998 P38 DSE, and although I am a fairly proficient hobbyist spannerman I'd like someone with more specialist knowledge of RR's to give my car the full once over, top to tail so to speak - IE, pay them to go through...
