    Diesel Hot Starting Fault P38

    Hi There MG Mayo, Yep I can see how yours is a simplified method. if you used a timer relay - mentioned in my posts it works when hot and also gives extra cold start assistance for the amount of time you preset it to all without holding the button. Yours is by far the cheaper option though.

    p38's are officially rubbish....dont ever buy one

    Seats and the law

    Hi Gents - if your landy is insured for 3 seats, it is not insured to carry passengers in the rear. However regardless of how many your landy is insured to carry it is illegal to carry passengers in the rear of a vehicle that does not have seats fitted - that would fall under the same category...

    captive nuts ?

    They are called rivnuts - the size you need are M6 - you knock the old ones into the cross member using a punch and fish them out the ends. To fit new ones either buy the tool or use a longer bolt with a couple of nuts on winding them to compress the rivet part of the nut - they work in a...
