    service history

    I believe you can goto the dealers and request the history of a vehicle and they can provide what they have (guess they may charge). You will need to provide proof of ownership though I should think and they will blank out all personal info about previous owners in the data they provide. -Wills :)

    It Sounds Like A Milk Float

    Have you been under the bonnet to try and even source the problem?? Get under there and have a listen, use a mechanics stethoscope and listen to the bits that have the serpentine belt running them, same with the a/c belt (does the petrol have a separate a/c belt??). If you dont have a...

    Wiper Blades for RR VOGUE TD6 2005

    Why refuse to go near the dealers for something like wiper blades?? I had a set from Halfrauds that were crap and didn't last long before streaking all over the screen. I was at the dealers getting some small bulbs for my dashboard and asked about a set for my front screen, was expecting mega...

    Alternator Fault! Please help!

    You won't erase faults without the diagnostic machine. You may be able to fix your problem which will make the messages dissapear but without knowing what the faults are you wont even know where to start. Why not goto a local specialist with the correct diagnostic kit?? -Wills :)

    Alternator Fault! Please help!

    When did the error messages start?? Check the main earth lead from the battery, follow its route and look for corrosion of any kind or loose connections. Check the positive cable from the alternator and also the cable to the fusebox. Open the fusebox and check/smell for any signs or burning...

    Alternator Fault! Please help!

    You either have a loose connection somewhere, like an earth wire or something a dodgy fusebox OR, most likely, a dying battery. You say you usually get all those errors when you startup?? Im guessing your battery is on its last legs. -Wills :)

    Its a job for someone with a diagnostic computer such as a Rovacom/Autologic/Faultmate/Testbook. Where abouts are you, some people are mobile and can come out to you and reset it or you need to get the vehicle to a garage if nobody is near you who can come out and do it. -Wills :)

    ok, if the light shown in the red square doesn't appear when the ignition is turned to the 2nd stage... ...then you wont get it started. The BeCM and engine ECU have fallen out and lost their security synch. You need to plug it into a computer to get a Security Re-Learn done and it should...

    finally had enough?

    I agree with Gav - a simple multi-meter and an afternoon should help. You need to find out what the vehicle is drawing when off and locked. Have you checked the fusebox for signs of corrosion and/or burnt relays?? Ive seen a P38 at my specialists that kept having the same problem as you do...

    suspension height adjustment???

    Are you totally sure its leaning down on one side?? An easy way to tell is to measure the height from the ground to the top centre of each wheel arch and see what you come up with. How long have you had the vehicle?? Has a height sensor ever been replaced?? -Wills :)

    What year is the P38 - sounds more like the BeCM/Engine ECU security code problem. Does the check engine light show during ignition?? -Wills :)

    Auto gearbox oil cooler pipes need replacement

    Orrrrrr, depending on how much you want to spend, how brave you want to be etc you could figure out how to relocate a new gearbox cooler to infront of the bottom of the A/C condenser along with routing of the new pipework. Then you could fit the genuine under bumper fog lights. My autobox...
