Seems visible now, at least to me,.... good, sorry but that is not something I know much about and Imgur was short on instructions!
Yep, the P38 although originally a UK Northern Ireland vehicle was registered in the Republic of Ireland, Dublin by it's 2nd owner at about 3 yrs old, presume when the original lease or whatever ran out. Over here it would then normally keep that reg for life or until re-exported. It is a quirk of car tax costs over here that UK vehicles are periodically very attractive value wise depending on the exchange rate. I actually live a couple of hours west of Dublin and bought the P38 from its 4th owner in Cork.

Is that working?

Great work, just picked up your thread today, I am hoping to do similar with my DHSE, it is a bit daunting though seeing the work involved just to get the cruise working! 10/10 for perseverance so far

Hi lads, just to introduce myself a bit, long term Green oval sufferer/enthusiast, currently have (2.5yrs) a 2001 P38 DHSE daily driver, pretty well standard, although the EAS can be testing at times;.... a 1980 RRC 2 door (20 months or so) which is now 300tdi and D1 mechanicals, a project that was supposed to be all there bar the paint but is on closer inspection no where near and finally (4+yrs) a 130 Td5 Defender truck cab which is off the roadat present but was a daily workhorse.
I only stumbled across this forum today while (re)searching M57 conversions (my M51 has at least one cracked ring and loses coolant slowly) and in particular how to get the cruise control working, read through Sloth's excellent efforts and decided to join to keep abreast of that and see what else is cooking.
