    I can appreciate that. Just seems a surprise he’d pull something like that. The guy makes a lot from the P38 scene, be silly for him to gain a bad rep over something silly.

    Glad you managed to sort it. Time to go apologise to her before she takes it seriously lol

    P38A The right words to use....

    I mean, remove the thermostat completely. The engine will run a little cooler but should stop it from boiling over.

    Correct. But i'm sure if you send him your BECM he can make a new key to work with it.

    Just a little black box that he sends you, if you can't get your key to him this captures the signal so he can reprogram the new key. You send it back to him.

    Les sent a little receiver box out along with a key guide so he was able to replicate my key. He was then cut a new key but in the same style as the D2 blade and sent it over. Was just a case of syncing it to the car when it arrived and has worked faultlessly since.

    Thats unusual, Les has a very good reputation on the FB groups from all over the world. You sure its not the other breaker in wales who vastly overprices parts what should be considered scrap.

    What ECU for ‘98 DSE P38?

    Sounds like someone telling you porkies. Could be fourth injector, could be the pump needing calibration. Try find someone locally with a nanocom to see if anything is amiss.

    P38A When do ball joints need changing?

    Dab some glue on the splits and run them till they develop some wear or play. Worth doing the balljoints and halfshaft seals all in one go.

    Disco 2 Front calliper guide pin seized

    It is, but not everyone has the gear or patience to do little bits like this. By the sounds of it, the seizure was only slight compared to what it could have been.

    Disco 2 Front calliper guide pin seized

    Red rubber grease on slider pins and rubber components. If you’re not comfortable trying to extract the seized slider, take it to someone who has the correct gear.
