Unfortunately not - Kermit kindly used his one on my P38 last time. But i think i may as well charge the battery up and check the voltage across the battery with engine running.

well it doesn't have any trouble starting

12.32v currently

last time it was a cracked o/s reluctor ring and o/s sensor

i went to charge the battery a few weeks ago when they 1st came on but it was 100% charged according to my tester

here we go again - abs & tc lights on - scan at local garage came up with:- front right sensor short to another sensor front left sensor output too low front left sensor short to another sensor Any suggestions other than burn it or sell it ?

You mean the plastic fake wood don't you ?

it'll be the garage penny pinching - have you used them before or is this the 1st time ? I'd use another garage personally in future.

could always be a cracked head ? You aren't going to know until you strip it and get the head pressure tested

Nope - but you are in Scotland :)

Worst case scenario crack in cylinder wall behind liner into water jacket. Pressure test the block. Sometimes with the liners fitted pressure test will be ok and crack will only show when liners removed. I personally don't know if the liners are an interference fit and have to be pressed in - if...

you sure its not the plug/plug lead/injector ?

yep - head is the same as you'd expect

oh dear

That battery is a monster . I had a Numax cxv35mf in mine a few years ago but that packed up eventually.

yep - they bond fighter aircraft panels together these days and I don't think a P38 can do Mach 2 or pull 7g.

lol - battery just needed a top up charge - lights went off today :)

13th Feb update - abs and traction control lights back on since osf sensor replaced 27th Jan :mad: Diagnosis time again - maybe the nearside sensor/reluctor ring have given up the ghost this time. Well naffed off.

Well at least i got a £58.50 refund for the dodgy sensor I took back :)

Taking it to a garage has always been a last resort in my 45 years of car ownership - other than MOT's or tyre/exhaust fitting/tracking. Dealt with some right cowboys in the past. I remember getting the tracking done on a Morris Marina early 1980's and the knob had twisted the rack gaiter until...
