I have had a set of these for 60 years!! Its around 30-35mm offset, will this do the trick??

2 mins ago, car hasn't been running for 6 hours.

I think this P38 is out to 'get' me!! Was about to turn the car around to get ready for the pump modulation reset thingy, put the key in & the dash told me the keyfob battery was low, went to start anyway, everything on the dash dimmed & very sloooow crank then click!! EH? battery voltage 14.3...

Thanks for that, I have some similar, so I get them red hot & crank them a lot more, yes??

A ready purchased unit, or do I need to crank it myself, i.e. cranked vertically or sideways?

I agree with "never play with settings" etc. But on most settings on Nanocom, there is the option of going no further unless you understand, OR, on many you are given the option of switching off something you just switched on! In this case, it just stopped! I didn't realise that turning off...

Many thanks fellas, Happy bunny again, went out & it started instantly!! PHEW! Re the 86% reading, of course I was wrong, I mistakenly thought it should be 90% NOT the 86% I was getting, so yes, miles out, next job it try & achieve 50%. My pump calibration is exactly as in the pic above, so at...

It had to happen I suppose, playing with Nanocom just now, I think I f****d up bigtime. Whilst in the EDC mode, checking the fuel modulation at operating temp I had a reading of 86%, engine running, not a million miles out I believe. So, ah, whats this? Timing solenoid, whats that do then...

OK boys & girls, not managed to do much lately as the quite large garden I have was great 40 years ago, but a big PITA nowadays as I approach 80, so guess where my attention has been this last couple of weeks!! However, I have noticed a couple of observations since fitting the 'new' fuse box. I...

The ABS ECU was removed, wiring connectors again like new, all coated with Stabilant, as well as trying a replacement ECU. If corrosion bad wiring bad or ECU duff, would not Nanocom flag up a fault?? Is it OK to drive with Nanocom connected?

Pulled ABS fuses & ABS relay, took it for a quick run around the block, seemed to go fine, no sign of brakes or anything else binding, so what do I look for now? Nanocom tells me no faults.

Do you think I can pull the relevant fuses & relay instead? The glovebox is back now & it was a cow to set it to work right.

Yes, I do have spigots, I had no choice about the wheels, that's what the guy had, however, of all the designs out there, they are the best lookers in my opinion, I love the way the spokes end at the back of the rim, leaving a deep 'flange', just my opinion of course. The original grill had all...

Load rating of 104 I think it should be OK. I'm not too bothered at the moment, its just a project to get running, If/when I get it sorted, I might put it on the road & use it!! Still got a fair bit to do though. Bricks are simply a 'stop' for when I back up.:)

Lucky day, managed to source locally a set of 18" alloys from a guy just round the corner who was about to weigh them in!! Can you believe, £50!! Even luckier, managed to sell those awful 20" for a little less than I paid for the new tyres. Even luckier still, I kept a brand new set of 18"...

I have received the FIP info & will give it a try, many thanks again for all the help. will keep you posted.

The more I think about it, I feel it MUST have something to do with the ABS module, since I believe it controls ALL the wheels. As its one of the very last P38s made & DHSE model, I'm assuming it will have 4w TC ?? The way the lockup fades away after a short time suggests to me its pressure...

Just hooked up diagnostics again for engine, this is the screen, engine running, can someone explain the meanings please? On starting, the engine is running as soon as I turn the key, is runs lovely & smooth & throttles nice, it smokes a little though.

All four wheels solid, then 5-10 min later, all four wheels seemed normal with usual backlash, when I turned one wheel, the other three turned, completely normal. It seems that driving somehow sets off the brakes, no ABS or traction lights. When I did eventually get the car running ( when it was...
