Audi core all the way. Nissens 70230 is the right core.

No.

The aspirator is the little fan arrangement under the clock. It reports what it sees as the cabin temp to the HEVAC. It fills up with fluff and crud over time which can stop it working or it can report a higher cabin temp than actual due to the fan slowing down and the sensor being insulated by...

If you look at the solenoid you will see it has three connections. One is power from the battery, one for the activation wire (spade terminal) and the other goes from the solenoid to the brushes on the starter (a big wire). What you can do (carefully) is get a large cable (say a jumper lead) and...

Have you put a big socket on the crankshaft nut and tried to turn the engine, just to ensure it is free? No idea why it wouldn't be but ..... When mine started the clunk thing, I took the starter off and it also performed faultlessly on the bench with no load. It wouldn't turn the engine...

It may be that the little aspirator/temp sensor, under the clock, needs taking out and cleaning. The clog up with crap over the years.

Don’t feed the trolls ......... just sayin’ .....

Actually it is the Nissens 70230 you want, not the 70220, as it has the correct sized inlet and outlet to match the P38, 19mm.

Plenty of wreckers, particularly on Facebook.

Lazy locking is used to close the windows and sunroof with the key. It is nothing to do with super locking (don’t ever super lock the thing!!!) Depending on how you have it set up in the BeCM you either press and hold the lock button. The doors will lock, then about 2 seconds later the windows...

Alternator warning is usually a sign of poor earthing somewhere (assuming the alternator is in fact OK). You may also get the gearbox error or overheat as well for the same reason.

Ill fitting seals??? I remember fighting with a Britpart tail Gare seal for a P38 for hours until I got sick of it, cut it and had to add 6” from the old seal to make it long enough to fit .....

It is actually very easy. Drop the upper kick panel, drop the binnacle surround and then it is held in with four screws. Takes about 10 minutes if you don’t hurry.

White smoke from the exhaust is a sign of unburnt fuel. This is either caused by poor compression (unlikely from the way you describe it running), bad glow plugs or incorrect (late) injection timing.

Unfortunately, everyone telling the guy to "put it back on air" isn't actually helping the fellow. If the wheels don't look parallel in the vertical plane, then you either have ball joint issues or a partially collapsed wheel bearing (which you should hear). "Particularly large tyres" on...

Yes, and has been done before.

Mine sits at 13.7, which for a lead acid battery is more than enough.

Any modern alternator is effectively a smart charging device. The old generators tended to rely on a regulator box with coils and points that cut in and out, basically switching the generator “on and off” in quick succession to give the required current at any given time. Your alternator is...

No need for it to go to the starter. Not sure why it was ever designed that way.
