    Brian - thx - I'm going to be disappointed if I'm learning more about this than the local "shop" Yes, ran across vaguely on a search. Also, just emailing Marty (p38webshop) between other things - maybe his buddy Nick(?) is monitoring. Cheers,

    Grrrr, got to love world wide web and using some Sherlock process - found the p38 web shop / @martyuk / who is also on this - K now just have to get a handle on the site. And I see some useful things in this process - I guess availability / people being around is the barrier now. Cheers,

    Grrrr, the ABS thought on pedal - that could be it but as a normal function - just odd now because engine not starting. And it operates electrically not directly off engine like brake fluid pump. An early issue or concern ( when i first got unit) but later found out it is a normal function...

    Did a quick check of status of systems in unit yesterday. Everything else is operational - fans, radio, CD, lights / signals/sun sensor, windows / sun roof, wipers, AES indicator lights etc. So Batt, Batt distribution and most earths are good. Seems I lost the left channel (drivers side speaker)...

    Holy sh... elect trouble shoot - found it on the other site - i think. Quickly looking at those forums and all the current issues - dont know maybe i just want to look to the old school - less tech - models - or do they give a certificate or degree with this? But we have pretty much zero "old...

    Yes, drivers side is left - vehicle built Nov "96 specifically for NA. The hand inscribed "build" label is still under the "bonnet". But gas is still on right side. I have the digital version (5600 odd pages) of the owners / shop manual. Though I wish the "parts" diagrams were more like the...

    Thx for the points - will take a look at / familiarize and try these points out today. Battery is 3 weeks old and from the history of vehicles we use to keep on the west coast at grandmothers.

    Sorry, super early here - mothers day and the Edmonton oilers hockey payoff run (04:10 Hrs) Rovers or P38 are so appropriately a Sherlock episode - will look up the interlok switch? But then what "drives" controls its operation? I guess i have been lucky with this one - only the second owner and...
