    Alarm outputs, window closure on lock

    It's a kit, so not 100% sure - will check this eve, I think it caters for this by detecting strain on the motor and cutting the power rather than having position sensors.

    Alarm outputs, window closure on lock

    Yes, that part I understand - what I need to know is where to find a trigger - i.e. an output wire from the alarm ccu that outputs a constant - or + when and only when the alarm is active. As I mentioned this is for a window closure interface, so that does all the relay related stuff for me, I...

    Alarm outputs, window closure on lock

    H'mm:D perhaps I should've specidied - outputs either constant + or - only when the alarm is active. :rolleyes:

    Alarm outputs, window closure on lock

    I think this one may have been asked before, but don't seem to recall it getting an answer (other than a rather complex solution involving relays wired to the indicators). I'm wanting to install a window closure unit. Is there a wire that outputs constant negative (or positive) when the alarm is...

    Is My MPG Ok?

    I struggle to get 400 miles from a full tank in the winter - was much better in summer... td4 auto complete with ronbox - suspect maf maybe on way out, but having reconnected original wiring loom to maf runs sweet - plenty of go & no smoke - just crap mpg

    Changing TD4 fuel filter (later type)

    I seem to recall this was a barwsteward of a job - couldn't get the old filter out for love nor money - ended up resorting to violence - which worked but left me with some broken bits of plastic and a fuel filter that looked like it had just exploded.

    Erratic Idling !!!

    This is probably one to run past Ron, but here's the latest findings.. Switched MAFAM (TU3 Synergy) off and idling while not perfect improved. Next I unplugged MAFAM compensator wiring plug and replaced with orignal, kept TU3 lead (that goes to the fuel rail) in place and idling problem is no...

    Erratic Idling !!!

    Thanks JT - will check the pipes although I'm probably going to replace as I understand even the tiniest of leaks can give trouble (smokin etc). Turbo boost control - how do I check?

    Erratic Idling !!!

    I still appear to have this problem runs ok, perhaps a bit lumpy during normal driving no probs on acceleration, when idiling it stutters almost to the point of stall - it's intermittent (although seems more frequent recently) so I'm stumped. I think my MAF may have some degradation, so I've...

    Auto box holding gears

    Mine seems to hold on to the gears longer when it's cold - not sure why - may transmission oil being cold has that effect?

    Winter MPG

    Petrol to the diesel?? Sounds a bit risky, but at nearly 10p a litre cheaper I'm thinking maybe the petrol versions work out cheaper on fuel? (although not in repair bills perhaps?)

    Winter MPG

    TD4 04 auto yes has FBH - like I say driving conditions mostly the same 40mile each way to work motorway mostly - only difference being colder air temp. Would the FBH make such a difference?

    Winter MPG

    Is there any reason why my fuel economoy has got worse over the winter months - same driving conditions, mostly motorway 60mph average. Back in the summer was getting 400miles to the tank - now struggling to get to 350. Recently serviced - filters oil etc... Searching posts it seems I'm not...

    Fitting R/C locking &Total Closure

    UC - don't think the LED feed is an option since this has a constant live and pulsing earth - checking through the diagrams on RAVE to see if there's constant earth when armed for ya. My 04 doesn't have volumetric, not sure I like the indicators/locking combo -sounds too complex.

    Tyres Question

    Freelander sport 2004 - 235/50/18 tyres - need replacing soon and I've had the offer of some 235/55/18 tyres nearly new - question is will these fit without problems? I know it's only another 5mm, but will they rub against anything or cause incorrect speedo readings? Will most likely try em...

    Erratic Idling !!!

    Thanks john t - will try that at the weekend and through some inj cleaner in the tank. Given that it's only got 36k on the clock and having replaced fuel filter I'm not confident this will be the fix. I'll also try the connections on the fuel rail pressure sensor (I'm assuming this is the one...
