    P38A Bulb Failure message preconditions?

    I was going to ask the same question, they have to be canbus or have the appropriate resistor

    Bob, or maybe dave.......... You can't own a P38 without a DMM (or a Dalek come to that..) I run a village hall and a dalek would be a great place for a camera to watch over the parties especially if the top was powered (and the exterminator laser)

    P38A Height Sensor replacement

    I have a long tester unit and I went directly from the ECU to each sensor which told me there was no continuity on the RH rear which was all well and good but it didn't obviously tell me where the problem was. After tons of wire wiggling I pinpointed the break and all was well with the world...

    Thanks, I believe it may have been you that mentioned that the inhibit wire also ran through there, I have printed the diagram so I will have to dig it out. As I was only looking for the inhibit I probably didn't notice the cruise circuit.....

    I just noticed you have a dalek, I gotta get me one :)

    P38A Height Sensor replacement

    That's how I tested my sensors when I was having issues, I found a very brittle wire that had broken inside the insulation sleeve, twas a little bugger to find let me tell you! :)

    P38A Height Sensor replacement

    Is the cruise control circuit in the rh connectors? I haven't soldered that one yet, I am going to be doing it in the near future in the hopes that it solves an issue I have had for years with the eas inhibit not working with the doors open but does work with the brake pedal depressed. I have...

    P38A EAS fault

    You getting the hot weather shown on the news over here Keith? It looks rather toasty ;)

    P38A EAS fault

    That open pipe is the diaphragm vent, you may have a damaged diaphragm or it hasn't been installed correctly

    Totally agree, however I hunted for ages thinking my sensors wiring was at fault but all went away after the soldering bit. I think the bad connections were giving erroneous signals and therefore cocking up the zen of my EAS ;)

    I am assuming you have made sure the connector is clean, even if it looks good it can still be the main issue with many a fault. The best thing is to cut and solder/heat shrink each wire, this will ensure there is no connection issue. I had all kinds of issues years back until I did mine, at the...

    P38A Steering squeal

    Just an update, after doing all sorts I have now tried the Lucas power steering leak/squeal stop additive. I took all of the regular fluid out and poured the bottle of additive (well, pour is a bad description, the stuff is like molasses in a snowstorm) The noise has diminished considerably, the...

    P38A Steering squeal

    I'm the one groaning at roundabouts usually, it always seems to be at slow speeds,(car parks, left turns etc) having said that, I guess I wouldn't be turning the wheel so far at 60mph :)

    P38A Steering squeal

    The steering box seems ok when turning the wheel, the sound is actually more like a groaning noise, sometimes very pronounced and sometimes very quiet. Yesterday when I took it out it was dead quiet until I got back home, seems to be one of those things! I have googled it and it appears that...

    That is true

    P38A Steering squeal

    I guess it must be the pump, the belts and pulleys/bearings are all in good shape. I am going to give it another flush out and put in some of the Lucas additive and see if that does anything. Probably will end up living with it I guess

    P38A Steering squeal

    Just tried that, no noises when not running, I was hoping that I might actually find the issue!
