Pluribus, I'm in Sandwich 10 miles from Dover so if you have to come over as a foot passenger or need help to get you home let me know. I may bring my old frontera though as I don't want you kicking the s*** out of my P38.:p:p

Sorry to hear about your L322 problems and I'm afraid with the gearbox issues their well known for its the reason I have a late P38 in the garage. Same comfort, room inside , power and easier to maintain. I see your in kent but where are you having your work done??. There are 2 places over my...

Grrrr Have both original keys and changed the batteries in both about 18 months ago and Ruby is 2000 model. Since the other weekend she has been fine, I just think she hates going to Sailsbury as last time we went she threw a front UJ!!!.What's the sequence for syncing the code with the key in...

Strange I had an issue at the weekend. Drove 200 miles no problem stopped and locked the car on the fob in the evening no problems. Went to it the next morning and nothing from the fob. Batteries are ok. walked all around the car pressing the fob like a mad man demented chanting like a hindu...

Happy to help :):)

What sort of mileage do's it have ? possible UJ's if the mileage is high

Yes but how many miles have you driven in your 16 + years of ownership ??? Bet the old MK2 Escort has been round the clock a few times :p:p

A classic should be a good investment, but iv never found the owner of one without a nervous twitch when he starts it up and finds his credit card falling out of his wallet at the same time, :p

cheers blue beasty !!

ok no problems can happily do that. If you call me Saturday I will meet you in Newark and then make arrangements during the week with the mad hatter.

could meet you in Newark sat or Sunday before 1400. Also going to Salisbury the following weekend so if he's prepared to meet me on the M3 next weekend I could drop it off too him. Let me know

going up as far as Newark.

Going back up North for the weekend on Friday. Anyone needing help with anything just PM me.

Now that's no way to talk about dopey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder ect ect :p

There are 3 three types of whine 1st where's that come from 2nd How long has that been there 3rd That's going to cost me. Sorry got carried away there just the 3 wife whines !! :p:p

your P38 wont get any bigger :D:D:D

would a worn cam not give you a flat spot / lack of umph through out the rev range not just on tick over ??. As above check MAF sensor ect.

Why the rush to get this done if your diesel is up and running !!. There is a vast amount of experience on here and I would have thought that at least one of them would have heard of someone in the UK being able to do what your guy says he can do. Go the stealer route have a day in Southampton...

had a oil leek on mine which weeped all over the sump and oil filter which turned out to be the oil pressure sendor. you have to remember that even stood still and not moving the fan can cause oil to be spread around the engine bay.

Hell no, i don't like crumbs dribble or f***y f***s on my leather :D:D
