To make sure your 'new' key works you need to ensure that the 'functioning' key is no where near the ignition barrel. Best left in the house, then try to start the car. Usually these 'chips' need to be close(from 1 cm to 15 cm) from the induction ring within the ignition barrel for them to work...

Is there an EGR delete for FL2's? My ignorance is quite large. Think your EML may 'ignite' if you fit one but there may be a remap?/reprogramme available to switch that off? Let us know..

Welcome to the Fuel Burning Heater Club, had a similar experience a 'wee while ago' when ours 'kicked in' it was abit of a surprise as I didn't know we had one....put on the straight and narrow after posting a photo of the 'exhaust'. One can never have enough crazy options on ones FL1 and...

One other thing..... When you went to restart the car.....remember that the fuel system will need to completely 'repressurise'/charge or whatever you call it. When I removed the pump and changed the filter on my daughters TD4 it took the car quite some time to restart. It may have ran a bit...

Ty Modur, This to me something really basic........ Despite your assurances that you have reconnected everything ( I believe you have ) you need to get back under the hood etc and treble check everything methodically and systematically. When you removed the cam cover/airbox did you disconnect...

ScottyDave, It looks like you are being dealt a hard lesson by these 'mechanics' and that is unfortunate. Just recap on what symptoms you are suffering from, please? As mentioned above, a simple test regards the MAF would be to unplug it(once the car has been started) and take it for a drive...

It's an obvious ploy that, once you get the car running properly, you have to fix the windows that stop working, the sunroof that won't open but leaks when it rains and figure out how to open and fix the rear door......all designed to keep you off the street corners at night...GENIUS!!

I heard that they all borrowed it from Uncle 'Wink'... He was never any good at wiring.....

Cheers...answered fully!!

My sister want a 'petrol' FL1 because of the negative press regards diesels but her track record on K Series engined 'things' is a bit..........poor :-S

Hello Joshua, Welcome to the forum. Regards 'mods' I think that some of the members have a fair point when they mention things such as tyres etc before you start 'laying out' on the cosmetic stuff. FL 1's have some specific issues that, if not looked into could end up costing you a lot of...

Forgot to ask... 1. Any cooling issues? 2. Wheredyagetit????

FFS Nodge, a little bit if sick just popped up there... Will have to convince my daughter that I will be spending more money on 'her' TD4... However I will refuse to fit a CB radio for the time being...not wanting all the farmers around where they live distracting her whilst she drives the...

Wow, LR thought of 'some fings' when they went through the list of driver aids on the FL1... A cynic would automatically think that anything that 'works' without switching it on...(the rear wash wipe/when in reverse if wipers are on) that something 'is a miss' and start investigating. LR, the...

Think my codes are in the Owners Manual 'gumpf' but will double check anyway....have used online resources before to get radio codes for quite a few older systems but it's a pain in the obvious when you realise you don't have it! I have an ex girlfriend who regularly forgot herself.....can't...

Wasn't there a thread on here regards 'dodgy' 'cheap as chips' header tanks for sale on 'Flea Bay' not so long ago....one's that cracked almost immediately or somesuchthing?

Should add, she went from buying a 4 year old, IMMACULATE car to destroying it (bodily and mechanically) in 3 year...... R.I.P. Little Rover 214.....

Most 'horror stories regards the 'K' Series are just that...usually recounted by people who have no mechanical 'nonce'. My sister for instance, went through two cylinder head gaskets(and a skim) despite 'checking the coolant religously'. It would have helped if she had replaced the...
