    And make sure your oil level isn't rising, the HP pump can leak into the sump. Dunno if the TD4 has a non-return valve in the fuel pipe work. The L Series has in the priming bulb (which the TD4 doesn't have).

    I did a very professional job of ignoring today. Mind you it is very easy to do a comprehensive ignoring when you have such a high-flying, jet-setting, international adventure travel occupation :cool: My mind and body was consumed today...

    Should we set up some kind of roster, taking advantage of international membership, to ensure we manage the ignoring 24/7??? @GrumpyGel already took one for the NZ team; while you lot were swanning around in clapped out old Land Rovers, instead...

    Cheers … I’m waiting for the coil packs and plugs to come. Hopefully fit on Friday and see what issues it’s showing. I drove home with the windows down when I called the AA and put them ip and locked the car while waiting for him. It was after...

    Looks like any other electro/hybrid crossover in recent years. Can't wait to see a spec sheet describing similar performance to every other model, but being more expensive than the Chinese cars.

    Sounds like you've got some general electrical issues there. For ECU type systems (windows, CL etc) to fail and then start working after being reset with the battery off sounds like spikes of power corrupting them. I'm no sparky, but that's...

    Personally, I wouldn't spend time under a car held up by axle stands. Especially if I'm yanking on rusted up nuts and bolts and possibly rocking the car. Sod that for fun.
