    Problems starting p38 diesel

    Front pot injector area slightly wet. Getting off injector pipes slapped on as we speak. Hopefully this may cure it. Everywhere else dry as a bone.

    ABS/TC light coming on

    Hi sports fans, good news. Fitted a new brake switch and the problem seems to have sorted itself out. Pressed brake pedal several times and TC light stayed off. Happy dayz.

    Problems starting p38 diesel

    It feels like that. I have a boat which is diesel too and sometimes it has the same symptoms. But that has a primer pump. I'll give it a shot cheers mate.

    Problems starting p38 diesel

    And if the ABS/TC light illuminating wasn't enough another problem has come up. A week or two ago instead of my MY 2000 diesel starting immediately it took two or three goes for it to fire up. Last Friday my mate diagnosed there was a fault on the Glow Plug control relay. On Saturday it wouldn't...

    ABS/TC light coming on

    I have a spare one from my last accumulator change. I'll have to fit a new brake light unit which also showed up as a fault on the diagnostic. If it still comes on I'll change the accumulator bowl. Cheers.

    ABS/TC light coming on

    A new relay went in the other day and now the brake plunger unit has arrived, hopefully this may sort it as the tc light only comes on when I brake to engage drive.

    ABS/TC light coming on

    One pump, one pump only and it comes on. I'm confident it may be the brake switch which I've ordered. Hopefully that will sort it. Thanx

    ABS/TC light coming on

    Funny you should mention the brake switch. I ordered one at the same time as the relay that showed up on the diagnostic too. Maybe it'll sort itself out when it's fitted. To be honest I didn't think that would figure.

    ABS/TC light coming on

    Hi, I've got a problem with my 2000 diesel p38 where the abs and tc warning lights come on when I start up. The tc light comes on only when I touch the brake pedal. It started by flashing up then never happened again for a couple of days. Now it comes on all the time. The brakes are fine with...

    P38 bonnet won't open

    I had this problem a couple of days ago when I inadvertently pulled one of the cable runs to the off side latch when putting on a new battery. The only way I found was to wedge open the bonnet from the near side with a piece of wood. This gave me enough room to get a small ratchet with a...

    Introductions.

    Hi Chaps, New on the site and revved up to go. Just bought a gleaming 2000 p38 autobiography which is an excellent drive, really good but, I seem to have a problem in relation to the brakes from time to time. When I start up I get a TC, ABS, and BRAKE warning lights that don't go off and the...
