Hello, basically if I leave the car with a window open for the dog, and lock up using the key, sometimes I'll come back to find the window shut and other times still open. I am not using lazy locking btw. Any help would be appreciated, I have tried the manual and searches but with no joy.

So cleaned it all out and so far so good :) many thanks guys.

Ok so I removed the cam cover today and found that the gauze and the pcv were absolutely caked in emulsified oil, I presume from when the old head had cracked and the coolant was getting into the oil. I'm hoping to get the cover and gauze cleaned in a parts cleaner, but how should I go about...

Thanks guys, I will see if I can get it to spit some oil out and take the cap off etc.

Ok, I take it the pcv is underneath that metal cover in the cam cover with the filter? Cheers.

Hi all, I currently have an issue where I am leaking oil from the top of the dipstick, there is some smoke from the filler cap when opened running and you can feel the breathing from the cam cover to inlet hose, are there any other breathers on the engine, I didn't know if those black pipes that...

Thanks wammers.

Hello all, I was just wondering roughly how long do you think it would take to reassemble the the engine after removing the head? Cheers.

+1

I wasn't talking about skimming the cracked one, a reconditioned one I was looking at had been skimmed. Thanks for the info, glad I checked.

Hi all, the latest update in this saga is that now the head is cracked apparently. I obviously need a new head but how much skim is ok as I hear they shouldn't really be skimmed? Many thanks.

Sorted! I cleaned those connectors going into the car and the two from the latch, not sure if that was it or working the rod from the lock barrel, but whatever it was I tried the EKA again, weirdly there was still no side light light, opened the door and there was no indicator flashing (i...

Ok, thanks.

I didn't look to see the light flashing on the dash but the eka must be going in as the message cleared from the display. cheers.

Hello all, Sorry to create another eka thread but I had a question with regards to eka entry, when you enter the final unlock should all the doors unlock not just the drivers? I have the weird situation where the key code lockout message goes but not all doors unlock and the alarm goes when you...

I waved when I had mine on the road, only ever to other p38s, only got one startled response probably because he thought it was someone that knew him as opposed to because we had the same car.

Hello all, is it possible to swap the internals of one wing mirror to another? The reason I ask is that I have a 6pin mirror on my car but the car is 10 pin, I have a 10 pin mirror but the skin is black metal whereas the ones on the car are plastic. Any help greatly appreciated.

It was confirmed yesterday that three out of the six plugs are indeed leaking which is great news, cheers, Gaz.

lol thanks anyway, my garage has one of course but its a favour so not sure when it's going to get done, may just make a tester myself. Any ideas on where to obtain these plugs? cheers.
