If it went down one of the oil returns, chances are it's in the sump ? From that angle, my bet would be it bounced on chassis or drive shafts & is lodged or stuck to an oily bit below. If it hit the ground it could have bounced anywhere...

Not on the 3liter, think it came in with the 4.4 hope this helps.

It would mate, you could crack the smaller clip and allow it to breath into shape and then reclip it. 👍

It's not had the clips tightened at the right moment or position and is under vacuum. 👍

Are we talking manual seats or electric?

Blimey, is that little pick up rated to tow 3.5 tonnes plus?

Do all the other buttons work for the stereo and the horn? Looks like (looking at wiring diagrams) fuse 9 for 12v, ground, i-bus and a connection to the instrument cluster. May be the clockwork spring? No relays involved, just a load of...

I've got it as number 9 in my book (2008) which is brake light, exterior lights and few other things.

With the engine running you should get a green symbol like a Speedo on the right next to the air bag warning to indicate it's on, as for a relay I don't know but it is possible as the diesel P38 I had had a relay for it, guess you have checked...

Just used something similar, time will tell if it works.

It is only necessary to disconnect the earth terminal.

Measure the voltages on the output pins with a DVM.

Sounds like yet another one with a dodgy ignition switch.

Or use a solar panel and charge controller to keep the battery topped up as I do with all my vehicles.

As mentioned no battery set up on the 2005 car but 40 days without use will kill it stone dead. You mite get away with 3 weeks even then special programmes will be off until it reached full charge. Disconnect the battery next time and lock it...

Maybe key code?

No battery management on 2005 and that year is not set up for AGM batteries best stick to lead acid.

Mine would also be dead after 40 days without a charge.

You underestimate my ability to burn things..

Now fair enough you might set the car on fire with a plumber torch soldering tiny wires but you can get electric soldering irons now which would be a little safer or even small gas powered ones lol.

I put up pictures in a post maybe 12 years ago. Swapped motors over from an MGF lock of the same vintage as mine.

Had same on my Had same on my P38 SRS light kept coming on because of the connection so in the end I cut it out and soldered the wires together, end of problem.

Right so quick update - drove back from a cycle to the unit to dump the bike etc and had a quick nose under the seat to check which connector. Moved it slightly and now the SRS light is gone with no message either - so thankfully not the clock...

One would assume the correct side, on the right lol.

Driving with just one eye open then!

Maybe they have cataracts and can't tell the difference 🤔

Looking at the state of some people's screens on a frosty misty morning as drive to work/school run that's more than good enough to see out of !

Have a look down the side of the oil filter housing see if there's water in the V, I bought one those vacuum filling kits off eBay for another job and there's a pump in to pressurise the system that's how I found my leak turned out to be the stat...

No, it’s a main dealer one.
