    P38A random electrical issues

    I am sure this will be no surprise but I seem to have random volume control on stereo from either unit dial or steering wheel controls but not necessarily the same result from both! The sat nav has a mind of it's own but at least the hvac seems to work properly at today! I am guessing I need a...

    P38A Experience with poly bushes

    I see. There is always a trick to every bit of gadgetry! Although I drive lots of different modern crap at work my present daily car is a 1977 daimler with the only electronic bit being a replacement distributor!!!

    many thanks for a quick answer I will try that as using the rocker switch on its own wouldn't pick motorway height although you probably knew that! I have so much to learn.

    P38A Experience with poly bushes

    Sorry to butt in but how do you lock suspension at motorway height as on first rangey and handbook quite knackered. On the polybush bit I have found parts that rotate more than a few degrees seem to wear polybushes rapidly even when using correct lube but very good for impact parts (shocks,roll...

    That does make more sense. Would I need to contact the original dealer?

    That sounds much safer! My key looks quite original (tired) and has original dealer key ring(also tired). The key has a sticker with e0682 on it but guess that is a type label?

    that does sound good as the idea of sending anything as valuable as my only working key via royal snail fills me full of terror

    I only ever had keys made purely of metal that you turned in the door lock to get in and the same to start it! Luckily the wife likes it and with overfinch rear exhaust it sounds very nice indeed!! I am also used to no one letting you out at junctions! Every day is part of the ever steepening...

    Thanks for the quick replis again. I think it beeped twice whwn i turn the key on.. I swore i wouldn't have a car that beeped at me! Hopefully it is just a bulb then although the previous owner had no history or spare key that it had two years before! luckily it seems to run well and keeps its...

    hi all I have just bought a 2002 4.6 p38 and only half the digital display on the instrument cluster lights up so no idea if or how many faults it has! is it a bulb or was this deliberate sabotage by previous owner?
