    Odd EAS "feature"!

    I went out to the garage this morning to the locked P38A and, as I was thinking about what I was going to do, the EAS compressor started running.

    As I said, the car was locked and the key was in my hand.

    I found the car was still in 3rd gear so I moved the gear lever to Park to start the car and the compressor stopped.

    The effect is quite reproducible. It only switches the compressor on in third gear. Changing to any other position switches off the compressor.

    I'd really like to know if any one else can reproduce this. Scouse had tried his but it doesn't happen.

    That is an odd and interesting feature. I would how it could be put to use for good instead of evil.

    Assume the pressure switch still overrides the logic (or lack of it).

    P38s have a mind of their own... Hmmm more than one mind... dozens of them, in fact.

    Or it might be Possessed.....

    I'll have to try that one. Ours is slowly earning the name OCD.
