Can't take the tax disc off as we still have them in The Isle of Man, just got a new one at only a few pounds short of £400 (cheeper in the UK!!) and we can't buy them monthly or every six months :mad: Got a whine now, been comming on, will be checking gearbox fluid but suspect its a u/j at the...

Must be a pain to listen to all this stuff, we are all trying to give good advice. Hope you can get to a solution. Some of us have rebuilt these engines many times so we should be able to help. Keep faith. ps: timing chain if you decide to put in a new cam and new lifters (plenty of cam lube)...

Skimmed heads (how much?) tappet pre-load? Agree, it was a bad move not to have put in a new camshaft and new lifters. Did you also fit a new (tight) timming chain?

Perhaps you have dislodged a lead pack in the fusebox which is close to the water expansion bottle?? or got water in there?

Have got the clips for a dog guard!!

+ 1 crankshaft sensor.

How many miles? Year, Condition etc, pics? And you havent given your location.

Would help id we know what car you have? make, model, year, petrol, diesel, etc What sort of diagnostics were done and why no explanation of the codes ? What is the problem? p1508 is normally: idle control system open circuit. check for air leaks but could be lambda sensor problem.

As Grit Valve says, should have the bracket. Just a tip - when you get a complete drag link make sure that the adjuster is free before fitting and don't drive without it being tightened up. Lots of threads on how to centre your steering wheel and align with the marks on the steering box. Could...

Just back from a week in Scotland, Kyle of Lochalsh area. Car was brilliant with no issues. We even did Applecross (as advised by Druim) with five up and plus a bag of coal and two bags of logs and some luggage, for the fire pit that night (not the luggage!) - the treacherous road, Bealach na Ba...

Have no experience of p38 diesels. But on the 90s etc there was a water drain on the fuel filter, check your handbook to see how to check this if available on a p38? I would be interested as I have had a p38 diesel in with a similar problem??? The garage maybe dispensing some water but it could...

Is life good in France? Should we be moving?

Did mine too - off to Scotland tommorrow. Are you going anywhere interesting?

Wow - you are lucky it didn't end in a bad crash (supose it was!) - must have been a bit of a shock though and I hope you are over it. And a shame as the car has been behaving for a while. I was pushing (I hope you don't mind) because u/js don't normally just go! I have posted some U/Tube stuff...

If you have a dipstick (later cars don't have one) then the engine needs to be running. Car in neutral and then check it. You should have an Owners Manual in the glove box which explains how to do many things.

Talking of about £150 for all three blend motors. Then labour £500 for that seems a lot. Look at this (there are lots of guides on how to do it) spend a weekend enjoying yourself and save a fortune...

Advice on fitting, get Emmotts to do it and the sump but just noticed you are near Edinburgh. Fitting is easy if you have a ramp, so you need access to one. There is a special tool available to tighten up the bolts as there is not much room but can be done. If buying second hand grease them...

This has been on before. Re Flexible height sensors Gen IIIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reCet235Zi0

I agree but still want the whole story. Had a Transit last week pull up outside with a u/j gone sounded like a pile driver!
