Engine disabled = immobiliser has got involved and you need to resynch your fob. Handbook tells you how to do it. Have you got one ? Alarm triggered = or such warnings are usually after a disconnect or locking problems. Give us the right info to help you. Are you stuck miles away from...

Check out the kicker on ebay for your model, I had the same after a dodgy Halfords battery. The synch between the Engine and the Bloody Expensive Crap Module has gone haywire I bought a kicker and until the battery was changed by Halfords. Had to re synch the bloody thing. Now Where are you, is...

Locations seem to be missing from all postees, If someone's local then help is available.

Fault code /s

Gunpowder smell : Are your brakes / clutch ok ? Go around the vehicle after a run and without touching feel for heat at the rims. The smell fits the sooty deposit from gas and can smell like that. Petrol does burn at higher temps than gas and you may be cleaning up the exhaust. I think you need...

Sound like your exhaust system needs looking into, when you switch to petrol the system isn't as fuel efficient and extra fuel is delivered. With the gas system, the engineers are very careful to not provide too much gas. The smell sounds like you have a leak on the N/Side exhaust being a V8...

Try looking them up at Rimmer Bros. they have diagrams and sometimes the sizes are mentioned in the text.

The CD I have does not cover the glowplugs. Mentioned their location, but no other sections. The tightness is only around 18nm. A well fitting ring spanner could take them out.

I buy stuff off ebay or Toolstation, you do not want to spend a fortune on tools that do little work. Snap off or other makes are for those with all the tools, but can they do the work ?

WE used to spray the chassis with waste oil, but you have to keep away from rubber and brakes etc. I found using a cut down brush and the oil helped. or you could spray waxoil and if you get the internal kit do the inside of the chassis. I had a van with a chassis for over 25 years and it went...

Emissions are governed by the Electronic Control Module and if yours has been chipped or altered in anyway then the mapping in the ECM could be overfuelling. Without trawling through these badly written Wksp manuals, all the sections are typical modern fit another unit or plug it into a...

A pump that is too rich I.e. too much diesel will give you the same symptoms. My diesel Peugeot does the same because of the enrichment device on the pump. During -15c the smoke is really bad and I run the engine for a while, then allow the heat to sink in, then restart. Thus with a warmer...

Right you need your Emergency Access Code. It's in the handbook on a little card and you need to use the key within the drivers door lock. it's all in the handbook and using the key you can override the immobiliser. Now I would change the batteries in your remote. You can get a new slotted cover...

OK for you I have looked at the early model. Pin 1 is Air suspension delay timer off timer wire colour SR Pin 2 N/A Pin 3 N/A Pin 4 Ground wire colour B Pin 5 Ground " " BP Pin 6 Pin 7 BECM Module (data bus) + HEVAC Module (heating) + ABS (Brakes)+ ECM Engine diesel has two...

Depending on the model, the socket is wired different. There is a guy on the web who does the pin outs for the variants. Is yours Diesel or Petrol and the variant CC etc. Need the year as well. You can get a "RAVE" disc from ebay it has the whole wksp manuals on.

Sounds like a head gasket or water getting into the cylinders. Most probably a gasket / head problem. Without a compression test hard to say. White smoke can be water in the fuel. Was the engine warmed up when you arrived. old scam if the engine starts only when warm, could be a compression problem.

Guy next door had it done. used a chain cutter first time then a hydrallic cutter, ex fire brigade stolen while on a fire. Low lives can do anything and need to be properly dealt with. I wonder what it would be like using that jaws thing on their arms ? Noisy you bet.

Container : Get a old white plastic 25Litre container then using a jig saw cut it through the handle at 90 degrees and long ways around. I use these everytime.

When you did the flush you have blocked up a bleed pipe, small hose on system or a bleed bypass (a small channel, i.e. around the thermostat) You should carefully drain the system into a measuring container, then using a old antifreeze can (plastic) you can pour the drained fluid to measure it ...

OK Ex RAC Patrolman. Water leaks are a menace. 1/pull back the front carpets are they soakng ? (heater matrix). CHECK the oil, is it black or a beige colour (oil mixed with water) oil OK then, 2/ Water topped in the expansion tank. try running the engine over a sheet of cardboard. Making...
