Grubbier than a grubby thing in a grubby place? If I don’t have contact cleaner then brake and clutch cleaner ok? My mate in the village has some of that. Or just wet kitchen towel. ? I have remembered that there should be no ‘penetration’ however much I want to.

I’m going in! 1st stop the maf. Actually the 1st job before the maf is critical. Place trusty paint roller extension in place so bonnet doesn’t smack head!

🙏 2008

Gary Thanks for that. Will look under bonnet later at map and maf 👍🙏 I’ll need to do a bit of research as the only time I’ve got my hands dirty before is oil changed and changing a prop shaft on a d2. I can’t remember what they were called but there was some fiddly pieces that had loads of pins...

Hey there I posted some info on this issue on someone else’s thread but thought it better to start a new one. 2008 disco 3 that had the egr’s blanked last year. Has gone into perm limp mode with an EGR fault code. Garage wont tell me who mapped the car at the same time as I wanted to confirm...

Today I disconnected the battery and will leave it disconnected overnight in the hope it will clear my D3 engine fault limp mode issue by magic!

:cool: will do. Cheers fella. I’ll send an update when I hear something. My mate with a scanner did try and reset the codes and we also disconnected battery terminals and shorted to do a reset but no luck.

Hi smithy thank you replying I don’t know I’m sorry. I have a local Indy disco guy who blanked them off and then took it somewhere for a mapping. Is there anyway I can find out myself or just go back to map guy somehow? I’ve just been reading some of @gstuart ’s helpful posts about some of...

@Badspanners any luck with limp mode yet? My D3 has been in limp mode and I can’t get it to clear. The only useful thing the scanner is coming up with is an egr code P0403 the odd thing is that I had the egr’s blanked last year and then a remap and it was working fine. But then it went into...

Cheers Andy, but if it's only lost 1/4 or maybe half a litre?

..and similar to mine.....can someone please explain why the internal heaters dont belch out heat when the rest of the system is overheating? :o cheers

Sierra. The symptoms are correct but I don't really think it cools down as such. By turning the ignition off and back on appears to give me back the power that is lost as I hit the red zone. Before I had all the new bits (rad,top hose, thermostat, inter cooler) when it overheated it would boil...

I have intermittent hot air in the cab. Although the heat controls are full on it gets hot and then cold. Hydrocarbons. . Is that the same as a block test? Block test was fine Cheers

Yeah. Coolant sensor. knew it didn't sound right!

Ok...quick update. I Still have not done the water pump test whilst hot. I Have fitted the new heat sensor. Today I Travelled 30 miles and the needle went into red about half a dozen times and came down again without me stopping. The last couple of times just to try something I switched...

Cheers sierra. I will have a look tomorrow.

Hmmm.. Someone just mentioned to me a very fair point. What looks likes two inches to one person might be six to another.:amen:

Ok...revved it up above 1500 and the coolant comes out about 2 inches.. Whats the definition of ****ing? :D It doesnt dribble out any way...

Hi Thanks for replies. It's just taken another 2 litres. I had the bleed screw off and as the expansion tank filled up then coolant came out of the bleed. Does it matter if the bleed screw doesnt turn to a stop in its fitting? This one just rotates. I will go and do the rev test Cap...

Just going to check. Forgot to mention that it had a block test and that was ok.
