Had the whole loom out the door because I couldn't get my fat hands in the gap between A post and door. Couldn't find **** beyond a nick in the purple/black wire which had been repaired over 10 years ago (not done in my ownership). Although my DVM was being a bastard, so stopped for food. My...

Anyone got a spare drivers door? Starting to wonder if it'll be easier than trying to find a break in the loom. If it is in the door.

Chloe has been polishing my tools all day. They were a bit worse for wear as the shed has started leaking. But she's done a really good job. For some reason I found some smushed up vegetables in my tool chest though. Which was weird. Also, she is apparently banned from the duck pond, which seems...

Seems you're right. Tried the outstation, and nothing. I'll have to pull apart the loom this weekend. Boosheet.

Think we still have a spare outstation from Chloe's being suspect, so I'll dig around and see if that fixes it. Really hate hunting wiring faults. Especially when it is this cold.

Lose my **** with it. Yesterday the MFD started saying driver window not set. Couldn't be arsed to set it figured I'd sort it today. Came out of work, car unlocks. Drivers doesn't. For some reason the car doesn't appear to recognise its existence. Locks unlocks with key in the door, but doesn't...

I got insurance to start the claim. Should just have to pay excess now, but I'll give him a bell if they won't pay for the glass. Thanks.

It says "other glass" is included. I remember the woman on the phone was having problems with the billing system. I'll have to try and call them when they open to see if they can solve it. Otherwise a second hand hatch it is.

I do, I need to call insurance again and find out what the hell is going on. Rear screen. Insurance clearly done gone broken.

I think my insurance are taking the ****. Be cheaper to just replace the hatch at this rate...

Great start to the week for me. Hate living near a construction site. Can't prove it was their **** that went through my window though, so just got to eat the excess (looks like £115, which damn near stopped my heart). It is the worst when they charge you for a pot of copper slip, when you...

So I had a look after work and I cannot see any obvious sign of where the leak is coming from. However I did notice one of the clips fot a fuel pipe (I assume return?) is broken. Maybe I am clutching at straws here, but let's say I've driven to work, got some juicy heat and pressure in the...

Well it does smell very fuelly, down to low teens for mpg. 300 miles a tank is expensive. Be nice to be able to fix it, but as my only mode of transport I am hesitant to spanner on it. I saw a video on a Facebook P38 group where it was ****ing fuel, so I feel that is the natural progression for...

I'm studying the guide now. I think I only need to do the rear seal, so hopefully not too difficult for a mong like me.

IIRC, you need diag to set the pump and I haven't got access to diag. Which is a massive oversight really, as I've owned a P38 for 10 years. Always felt it should be something I should own.

Decided my increased fuel use requires investigation. Noticed that I appear to have a small fuel leak from the back of the FIP. Hopefully it is just a loose fastener, rather than a failed seal. Otherwise this could be the end of the road for my P38.

Oh really? Unlike Kev to turn down work. I am sure he has his reasons, but most unusual.

I used to use Pure Car Mechanics in Pickering for everything. Doesn't claim to be a P38 or even Landy specialist, but has a lot of knowledge on them. He had to outsource my FIP to refurb it (to a place in Scarborough so all within the Yorkshire economy), but did the install and timing himself...

Saw a note on the windscreen of the wife's car, some guy put a "if you want to see this car call me" thingy under the window. We probably need to put some dehumidifiers in it. The windows are all misted up which is unfortunate. Got a small list of things to do though: Change coil packs Change...

Not how I'd planned the year going for sure. He was due a brain scan on the 5th because they were sure he had physical brain injury which was causing the seizures, but he just couldn't get there without so much more pain and suffering. Oh yeah, tears were shed for sure, tried ringing the normal...
