My P38 is dying.

Well either that or it's doesn't like the cold.

In the last 4 days:

Broken drivers door release cable.
Seized headlamp wiper motor.
Bonnet open sensor broken.
Intermittent fault on OSR light cluster.
Petrol cap release seized.
No wash on rear window wash wipe.

Managed to fix the bonnet sensor and petrol cap so far with vast quantities of contact cleaner and WD40. Disconnected the Wiper motor.

Got an new release cable for the door but cant figure out where it attaches to the latch....

Pah, TADTS. In the last week I've had the rear hatch release mech messing me around, driver window suffering extreme judder and the exhaust mid-box now blowing.

Bonnet open sensor?


Amazing the crud that is fitted to modern vehicles

It's bloody annoying. Every time you come to a stop and start off again it beeps at you. Not good in rush hour traffic.

Is the bonnet shut properly?

[plasticpig]

Yes it is. The right hand bonnet lock has a sensor which was gummed up with crap. Cleaned all the crap off the lock. Cleaned sensor contacts. WD 40'd lock and and pin. Treated the rubber grommety thing on the lock pin with rubber rejuvinator. Still scruffy and a mess but the sensor now works.

Not at all. I think it is a step forward that modern vehicles no longer discriminate against blind drivers.

My 110 has one of those too.

It's called a windscreen.
