ok, the problem is solved for the time being. unfortunately I didn't proceed systematically. what I did: - pulled out all fuses (including those in the engine compartment) - checked - all fuses were good - treated with contact spray - Checked the...

Are you checking both sides of each fuse ? There needs to be 12V passing through the fuse !! Another simple check is to try opening & closing windows with Nanocom (you have bought one I hope ??)

Check the small pipe that goes from the top of the rad to the expansion tank👍 The cap on the expansion tank can give up as well but then the coolant would run towards the bulkhead🤔

That was a super slippery hill. You can see in the terribly fimled decent video theres abit of a bump in the road and as my front wheels drop off they lose traction and from then on the ABS just decided no more brakes. I basically just plowed...

Yodel are diabolical in my opinion

Royal mail is usually the worst, certainly the most inconsistent

I'm glad that's not just me. Although Evri round here has sorted it's game out recently which is good. Yodel on the other hand.....

True very true. I try not to use sellers who use certain couriers if I can

Got to love "next day" delivery haven't you. Lately I'm getting parts from Estonia delivered faster than stuff bought in the UK.

Ball joint steering knuckles didn't get done Friday. Ball joints had arrived on time but not the shaft seals. it's a set back, now everything here will be done this week. These things are sent to try us :( :D

Can buy printers quite cheap now. The first one i bout about 8 months ago for £80. This new one was £1300 but in my eyes it has been worth every penny. A lot of things I've made i couldn't buy or weren't suitable, so being able to design and...

Shame you are not closer for making P38 panel clips LOL.

Physical strength it's very similar, along with temp, chemical resistance etc. The main advantage is UV resistance. It apparently doesn't discolour like abs so doesn't need paint etc. It's a bitch to print though, does need a chamber/enclosure...

Clip downs currently being printed. Lot beefier than the factory ones.

Any burning smell from the under bonnet fuse box? Check the nuts are tight on the feeds to and from the under bonnet fuse box. It could be an earth problem Around the back of the BECM there are a couple of earth points to check. You have...

Just throwing it out there..... Only one connector on the switch pack, maybe its come away? Worth a look. Side cheeks off, 2 screws each side, open cubby box, 2 screws there at the top front. Be careful!!! Plastic tabs break off if your heavy...

No need to slide the cheeks off. Hardest bit is getting the boot off the handbrake lever, just 2 screws in the cubby.

Oh dear 😳

Errr, pictures please 🤔😝

Today I have mostly been 3d printing replacement parts for the 322. Namely replacement studs for the scuttle panel and clip down points for the boot floor. Also 3d printed a instrument cluster mount to use a lcd panel and raspberry pi as the...

I don't miss doing that on my daily car but i think you get a better feel of what's going on when you actually interact with it

So the switches "on" the rear doors don't work either?

You didn't answer an important question datatek asked, do the rear windows work from their individual switchs🤷

Engine oil and filter change on LHD P38 ready for the MOT. Still got to grease the UJ's, check the rear diff oil and air filter.

Definitely do not look. I was so concerned that I created an account here just to find out what it was. Thanks for your help.

Just a quick follow up. Finally got the tank level down to 1/4 tank (yes, it's not used much) and it's still running properly so looks like there was an issue with the fuel pump not siphoning fuel from one side of the tank. Time to start fixing...

You really need to get a copy of RAVE, it's all in there. Do the rear windows work from the rear switches? Fuses F1 2: 9; 12 & 22 are involved. Not sure where they are located but I think ubder the seat.

Is something still holding it? With me driving a nammer hub would like like an 8ft sheet tin foil after a day 🤔 You got a bigger nammer?

For £18 I’ll take the punt and order one then. I removed it a little while ago and couldn’t smell anything burnt however that’s not to say it’s happened and then the smell has faded.
