Cool. It's great when something like that happens, well done :dance:

Merry Crimbo hun

How's that work come MOT time?

Yep well at least to shut the rattle up. It maybe still working okay. Problem is on the V8's the downpipes are all one piece. So your be doing both sides anyway. Also as it's one piece you will need to drop the gearbox cross member and I hope none of manifold studs snap. The drivers side...

Catalytic Converter block has come loose inside the pipe.

Ta guys.

Gems 4.0 lt. Drawing 0.8 Amps with BECM awake. Does this sound about right and what should it draw with the BECM asleep. Trying to track down a issue with a members car.

Yer Welcome. Merry Xmas to you to.

Combining Laning and Camping sounds great. I'd be up for some of that.

I think he's talking about the throttle body heater. Not a bad job to do but you will have to take off the "Banana" part of the inlet manifold to get to it. In the mean time to get you out of trouble you can join the two water pipes together and bypass it. Bit fiddly to get to them as the back...

Damn!!! If only he had 2 at that price. Oh well. :p

Scratches and little dings are to be expected I guess.My P38 spent most of it's life travelling on Cornish lanes and has a fair few already!! As for ripping quarter panels off, sounds like he was travelling to fast for the given obstacles/conditions.

That won't be happening. Like I said I'm not planning on going mad and in standard trim it really is quite amazing what she will do.

Cheers guys, all good info so far.

Remember P38's aren't OBD 2 compliant on most systems. If you have a generic scanner it's probably not going to work with your car.

How about getting it plugged in so you can see what the actual fault code is? Better than just trying to swap bits about.

As I've got the green laning bug but not the cash to buy a dedicated off roader I want to keep on using my P38. It proved pretty capable last time out and I'm not looking to do some mad rock climbing or deep water work so with a little work I'd hope she'll prove up to the task. Thing is it...

I did but the card is corrupt

Kato is Jeeves's butler :o

Bloody Jeeves. I had to give him 40 lashes for corrupting my memory card in my phone. Nothing to do with me of course :brick: I'm trying to save my pics but Kato's lost my Micro SD converter. I may just execute him for not clapping hard enough when I give him the job of cleaning the P38. :mil78:
