    Been sat for a few years - Some Questions

    1989 90 with 200tdi. Sat for about 18 months. Engine ran with a little tinkering - Electric shock off ignition key - any ideas?? (good anti-theft!) Starter sounded terrible and was a little slow to turn (had to turn the engine by hand to loosen the starter) but I'm guessing just some...

    re-filling cooling system p38

    ok, thanks and the very hot header tank, is this normal?

    re-filling cooling system p38

    ok well, the temp gauge comes up to the middle (directly pointing up) and stays there the bottom of the rad is still cold to touch at this stage, the header tank is not far off boiling and the heater is hot. the top rad pipe is firm but not solid, and feels more like air than water but that...

    re-filling cooling system p38

    just re filling system on my 1995 4.0 p38. i have read many threads on this but none seem to give a straight answer. so my header tank is half full so almost at cold level. the heating is working well, but the radiator is not getting hot. i don't think the top rad pipe has any water in...

    Why on earth? fog lights

    ahh ok, and you often wade your p38 ?? :doh: get what your all saying, and thats what i thought, but i dont see why every bulb/light around the car doesn't have them. anyway trivial bulls**t. i wont touch them. cheers

    Why on earth? fog lights

    anyone have any idea why both front fog lights on a p38 have breathers? I might be wrong but, i'm guessing so if water gets in it will just evaporate, and so when the lamp gets hot and the air heats up it wont split the unit. BUT two whopping great pipes on each, are they really necessary...

    If you can afford to be overtaking in that, I would have thought private jets might be a more cost effective option.
