I’m gonna try and take the transmission wiring harness out and check every wire for continuity. Failing that will have to fit another engine ecu and see if that works.

Thanks for your Input Saint, Will read up on that guidance. Seems I definetly have a P38 gremlin, shame after so many years of P38’s but I guess eventually luck runs out. Maybe spending at the Volvo dealership sooner than I had hoped!!

Yeah although now I can’t clear the transmission codes with my Hawkeye, after trying comes up with faults not cleared. They did clear but after about a mile drive they come back up. Always the same transmission codes- P1841 P1842 P1843 Checked the EMS codes which I can clear and stores the...

Fluid and filter replaced. Transmission ecu replaced with 2nd hand item. Battery Replaced. Earths checked and positive in fuse box and on starter all checked. Still displays gearbox Fault and showing the same codes as above. Any other suggestions or has the death bong finally rung for my P38?

Ok so have a second hand transmission ECU on the way and have ordered the parts to do a filter change and will replace the fluid with the method above and see if that solves it on the weekend. When cycling through the gears with the engine idling for refill level, will all four wheels have to...

Another week another dash bong! This time it’s flashing gearbox Fault and stuck in third gear/limp mode. Have checked in here and tried the easy things. Fitted a brand new battery although my old one was testing fine. Took out the full plug to check level and all fine. If anything was over...

Thanks Guys have a second hand one on order. It seems the internal diameter is reduced to the size of a pin hole so didn’t want to get something made up in case it was important!

Wow 17.80 delivered think I’ll try some breakers- Thanks again for the part no

Perfect thanks

Looking for some help finding a plastic fitting that screws into the inlet manifold on a Thor V8. After having to do the annoying job of replacing o/s exhaust manifold gasket again , my own fault for re-using the old gasket last time, I damaged a plastic connector whilst climbing on the engine...

Well the cost to get that figure from that little 1.8 was phenomenal for it to run reliably. As expected fully forged internals, standalone ecu, MAP Sensor, injectors, hybrid turbo, huge front mount, cast manifold, 3" straight thru i could go on but you get the picture! Either way if its wet and...

Good information! What sort of gains would be expected from just the long tube manifolds? I have seen some available in the states. I’ve only got experience in tuning turbo jap cars. Currently have a 1.8 4 cylinder CA18DET Nissan 200sx dyno’d 357hp the flywheel weighing a little over a ton It...

Is there anywhere that sells performance manifolds in the UK I’ve struggled to find any?

Got that to look forward to as well! Does anyone know what socket I need to remove the manifold bolts, part no ERR4961. They are a spline head pattern I’ve not seen before. Cheers

Ok nice one big fan of plusgas, luckily it’s just one bank and 2 broken studs with some meat left on them, surprisingly similar to that image. Looks like I’ll have to take the manifold off then

Does anyone know if the studs at the manifold to downpipe join are pressed in or reverse threaded? 2 of the 6 snapped and I need to get them out.

Ok thanks guys seems I found a very unique place to take it for an MOT. Glad I posted this, apologies for being misinformed! New plan now to keep the cats, chop them just after and attach with a couple of flexi pipes to this custom 2nd hand stainless system I’ve bought.

Im just repeating what the MOT tester told me. If the vehicle is presented running on LPG it requires no emissions testing, no reading with the gas analyser. The fact is that even with the cats removed it will still pass an emissions test on LPG.

The vehicle doesn’t qualify for an emissions test if presented on LPG, not at all. As looking for a Cat is part of the emissions test this doesn’t get done. I understand it’s a bit of a grey area and open to interpretation but at the end of the day is down to the individual tester.
