Has been de EGR'd by the way!

Yeh, Reckon that's why there are no lights showing. Also, forgot to mention. Temp gauge doesn't go above the 1/4 mark and heaters not as hot as I would have thought. I changed thermostat today and new antifreeze but no difference. Also need to get a new slip ring as the horn has been reqired...

Hi People:) Picked up the 300 TDI ES the other night. Few little issues to deal with (Mainly due to being just driven and not serviced I think) Curly dash syndrome (Ebay for that). Electric mirrors dont work. (Des anyone know what fuse as I cant find one blown under the dash?) ABS And...

Thanks Guys. Mr Mad Hat Man I am happy to search now I know it's freely available ;-) Biggeeeee & Richard. Many thanks I'm on my way to do some homework and will come back with the results! Looking very positive so far! Just had pictures sent. Some light surface rust inside rear...

Can I get a copy of Microcat anywhere?

Hi guys, Adding to the fleet. Just in the process of buying a 300 tdi (So I'm told) Auto ES Discovery. No real rust issues or corrosion. A/c disconnected (will be re instated) and apart from then from the phone call a very genuine car. (Speedo stopped working whilst parked up but it can be...

Yup. I had the same issue on my 4.6. Drain plugs were blocked. Amazing how much water they hold as well!:D

My 4.6 does around 22 mpg on a run. I have multipoint LPG which gives me 220 miles on 65 litres which is about 16 - 17 mpg. As said here, you really cant beat a V8 for sound (Mine has the quad stainless exhaust system) and mines just burbles along. It's extremely gutless at the mom and is...

Try taking out the idle valve on the plenum (2 x 8mm bolts) and give it a good clean out. I had the same problem whereas sometimes it would only start if I put my foot on the throttle and then a cloud of black smoke but started after 15 - 20 seconds. I cleaned the idle valve and the seating...

It's under the throttle position sensor on the side of the metal casing with the throttle butterfly. held in by 2 x 8mm bolts

Hi Alan I had a similar problem with my 4.6. When I hitched to my caravan (Bailey senator twin axle) the temp gauge went to 3/4. I thought it was due to being a hot day. I had flushed the rad, changed the cap cleared the bleed pipe exit into the header tank etc etc beforehand as a precaution...

Sounds like the stepper motor for the idle control wants cleaning. Dont know where it is on a thor engine though. I've just done my Gems engine one and it made such a difference to the car.

PS who's antone?:D:D:D

Have you installed the driver for it (I know silly thing to ask!) If you then go into system (Or equiv) then into ports, then advanced and change to port 1. I think these onlyy run on Port 1. I had to do it with my windows 7 laptop (kept reading the instructions on how to change port) and then...

Starter isn't new. I've got two s/h (Including the one that came with engine) and a refurb. All the same:mad:

Not daft at all, sometimes its these type of things that get overlooked:D. But yes I swapped it with a brand new one to try

There's no sparks when attaching the battery leads. Only sparks when attaching the earth lead to the engone when ignition is on and battery charger on. I've checked all live connections and even disconnected them and it's still the same. The only way to sop the ticking is remove relay 19...

Island 4x4 were brilliant with my replacement rad. Go direct to their web site. It's normally cheaper than their bay listings;)

My USB / Serial connector works fine on the Laptop (Windows 7) and the car to sort the suspension issues.

Well. I've cleaned the earths. No different. Tried another battery - No different. Cleaned battery terminal and posts - You guessed it - No different. It's got to be a connection somewhere. But all are connected and earths are fine. I reckon it'll be a trip to a RR specialist:mad:
