Been offered one by someone moving abroad, headache or good buy? Known faults?

T Thanks again! I'll get them checked... These people here are legends of the internet. @wammers @Saint.V8

Knackered compressor, couldnt keep up. Picking up a replacement tomorrow, then it's just the door locks and new more powerful bulbs apparently! The smoking is supposedly the fuel pump. .

I'll kick this off. When I bought mine, I tried to move the wing mirrors, but to no avail. On closer inspection, it turns out the previous owner had siliconed in two new pieces of glass. When I asked someone who knew him why he did this, he was apparently fearful of mirrors being stolen!

I am, but they're probably one of the most comprehensive RR independents anywhere. Check them out :)

Fair enough, good to know. She did 300 miles two days ago ( half at 35mph )

No, it's something completely different! #denOfVipers I'm off for a roast in my (currently) running smoothly B8 A4. I'd love to otherwise, I'll post tomorrow on what Turner diagnostics tell me. Thanks all.

No probs, thank you :) Just started the beast a second ago, she sounded like she was struggling, then she let out a thunderous noise and a big plume of black smoke. Shut her down and started fine after that. Should I be concerned?

Hello Mr goonarmy, perchance do you have access to an EAS unlock cable? Would happily bump it to Hornchurch..

is anyone around this sort of area that wouldn't mind giving me a little help with their EAS unlock? Taking it back to my mechanic tomorrow, would like to be able to drive there! Beer is obviously included...

Okay, thanks.

Ignition wasn't on. The dash lights were a separate issue before the lock issue happened.

Is there an easy way to get to the HEVAC bulbs? I guess I could take off the binnacle again, make sure all the wires are seated firmly in the plug.

When I finally got around to replacing the speedo bulbs, the LCD ones stopped working. The first time, (I replaced every bulb in the speedo) one of the LCD bulbs came on. I took it back out, changed all the LCD bulbs but now none come on, and the HEVAC LCD has switched off. All the other lights...

Hey buddy, apparently you're the guy to speak to? After taking out a couple of fuses and putting back, my central locking doesn't work at all. Can't open the boot with the button either. Doors won't unlock when I pull the handle. The remote isn't programmed to the car and never was, so that's...

Thanks, any electrical fun to be had with yours?

Hey all, had my p38 for nearly two years and just had my BECM repaired and guaranteed for two years. Just trying to work out the final electrical issues! (And mechanical, obviously)
