But it takes ages to do the CAD and set up the Flowjet, then there's the plating...
Either that or their dog ate it
Car's never had one. New factory autobox, TC and flexplate a few thousand miles before I got it and the main dealer that fitted them couldn't be bothered to put it back on I guess.
Don't suppose anyone has one of these kicking around?
It's a tenner I dont feel like spending, but every time I crawl under the car and see the hole, I feel guilty.
I can already hear the shouts of
"make one you lazy bastard, it's only a plate with three holes drilled in it"
Collectively we probably have.
As for me - I just collect spare parts for both types and leave them on the shelf. My theory is, if you have a spare the original will never break :)
Unless there's a problem with door microswitches too? Anyhow, turning PI back on in BECM will do the trick
Reverse uphill is max torque applied- lowest gear ratio and all that.
Could prove it by flooring it from standstill in reverse low up the same hill, but don't want to test to destruction at the moment. No problems skipping in normal daily driving yet, although when I first got it I thought I heard something once...
It can wait. Trans box is the only part of driveline that hasn't been replaced yet so has 280000 miles on it so chain will be getting tired.
Do it the door lock way (assuming the microswitches are good). If you've got passive immobilisation turned off it won't sync in the ignition.
Might be more fiddling time than I hoped. Reversing up steep hill off-road to get it into workshop heard the distinctive click of transfer chain jumping a tooth
Bugger
It'll have to wait till it gets worse though, but its always nice to know what the future holds
I can order a beer in about twenty different languages. Unfortunately
ya no bebo más cerveza
:(
Deflate tyres on left hand side?
As long as the reflector unit still moves on it springs, a carefully calibrated wedge of something will lift it up a bit :)
The headlight adjusters will probably rotate uselessly or be seized solid anyway, so you'll be able to take on a good mini-project removing the light unit, which will have at least one seized mounting bolt and rip itself out of the housing!
Could be a whole days work with beer breaks
Actually I'm just going to crack on and fit this lot instead...

Try:

You'll be hard pushed to buy a new ERR4268 anyway. My usual suppliers are all showing obsolete/ out of stock. I think test the old one again slowly and carefully and cross your fingers that it passes, then put it back on.

Do you think I've cocked up the system completely by putting the wrong one to try ?
Even if you've put the wrong one in, the adaptives devil will eventually get most of the way towards sorting it once you fit the right one.
You've got a multimeter- test the old one as I suggested above. You're looking for a smooth change in resistance as you move the spindle, with no drop outs. Easy to spot with an analogue meter, less so with a digital.
If old one passes the meter test, put it back on :)

Well it is identical to the one already on the P38 ? apart from keyway on otherside ! Where does one find correct part nos for these things ?
If in doubt, ask on here.
Rimmer's website is pretty good:

or you can wade into one of the online parts manuals and improve your Russian at the same time:

Sadly, as I have too many toys, I actually used a pink/ white noise generator signal fired into my DSP, and a spectrum analyser to view the results.
All I discovered is that my hearing is completely shot, with old age and a misspent youth playing in bands and racing two strokes taking its toll. My top end hearing is down to the region of 11KHz :(
About 200 000 miles and silent as lambs :)
Found some on the bay also from Poland

Thanks for looking though
