Hi Guys
After some of your wisdom, year 2000, Diesel, Manual,
Driving to work this week, lost 5th and reverse! Give the gear lever a good yank and all gears back but now the gearlever flops around, it is way too loose
Seen a post somewhere about this sometime back, so dismantled the centre console, lots of trim....
After removing the rubber gaiters on the gearstick, i could see the problem; each side of the gearlever there is a spring loaded ball plunger, on the 5th gear & reverse side the ball had fallen out, luckily just lying on the bottom of the remote shift unit, carefully retrieved the ball, phew
Using a small set of pipe grips i managed to unscrew the ball plunger unit until it fell out, good
So you would think just purchase new part, fit and be happy, but i cannot find the part number as the gearbox remote unit was only available as a complete unit, crazy
It is M22 fine or maybe 7/8 UNF i will clarify thread type and about 30mm long with a slot in it
Has anybody got a part number or source for these?
Sorry for waffling

Hi Guys
Removed Viscous Fan a while back, car is much quieter, about 1.5mpg better and there is now access to the front of the engine
I has not been that warm in UK so car temperature reading normal
Now with all this extra time we find our self's with i am trying to utilize the AirCon fans just in case it ever gets warm (global warming etc)
I have a MY2000 RR with has the extra switch in the head which is an on/off switch at 105°C (i believe), is there a lower rating switch? Can this be changed with Nanocom?
Or has anybody any better ideas? Or should i just buy an electric fan Kit?
Thanks

Hi Guys
Probably been discussed a lot but all posts are quite old
What are the current diagnostic tools still available which work with the P38, mine is a diesel?
Thanks

Hi All
New to this forum, so be kind☺
Took the plunge, bought a P38 Diesel manual (on a whim!)
Well impressed so far, done a few jobs, good car to work on
But, I cannot figure out the idle, when starting from cold idle is 1200rpm, after about a minute settles down to 900rpm
Now it idles great when warm, when hot, and when very hot but at 900rpm !
Rave says 750rpm, at 900rpm its seems to fast
Car runs great, checked for airleaks none, does not appear smokey, disconnected hot start fix no change
What to check next?
Thanks
