The bonnet switch does make sense as it happened whilst raining the other day. battery about 2 years old but lots of short journeys since pandemic. cheers

Hi all My wife’s FL2 seems to have developed an intermittent problem with the alarm. We had the key fob replaced 2 years ago by a reputable auto lock chap. All had been fine until recently when after a drive and locking it a few minutes later the alarm goes off , then sometimes just the hazards...

Hi all I’ve just changed pads all round including guides pins etc on my FL2. Rear is all done but I seem to have either created a rather annoying problem on the front caliper . I took both guide pins out on osf the bottom rubber boot came out quite easily but the top wasn’t having any of it. I...

Evening all Today I worked my way around my FL2 fitting new brake pads. I did the front 2 first resetting the piston etc. Took it for a test drive and all was fine, just the usual bedding in feeling. Then I did the rears resetting the piston both sides. Took it for another test drive but...

:) exactly that mate. yes, short boost pipe below throttle body. A cheaper fix too which is always good Thanks again

investigation work it is then but thanks for the info Whilst fiddling about under the bonnet I’d heard that the turbo hose can split on these FL2s easily so I thought I’d check that before I went any further and surprise surprise there was split which Im reckoning is the cause of all this. I’m...

Cheers, that’s the next job then. Hopefully that’s the culprit. ive read it’s a common fault on these but if your gizmo says MAF you think MAF. is it relatively easy to remove before I head off to YouTube?

I’ve just cleaned the oxygen sensor with sensor contact cleaner but no change so thanks for the suggestion. Would you recommend removing and giving it a good clean to see if that does it first? How do you know if needs replacing?

I picked up a Bluetooth OBD2 from EBay and it works no problem. It identified the fault as Mass Air Sensor so I ordered another good quality OEM sensor and slotted in it. I took the FL2 for a short drive but unfortunately the problem is still there. Basically it’s on or around the 2000rpm point...

Yes it stays on after all lights have settled before clutch is depressed so no worries there. I’ll have a look at the torque app Cheers

Nice one Just looked on eBay, didn’t realise you could get cheap Bluetooth readers. I’ll grab one and give it a whirl Cheers

Evening all, I filled up my wife’s 59 plate FL2 yesterday afternoon with Diesel as usual. This morning the amber engine light was on and has stayed on. I mentioned the fuel as I’ve heard that the filler cap can cause this issue if not secured. I have undone and retightened but it’s hard know...

Cheers that’s good advice about the battery etc that would’ve been a nightmare The extra grinder definitely makes sense as changing the discs has been a pain already. Really appreciate your help so far Cheers

Just thought I’d let you know that after some family stepping in to help with childcare I’m gonna bite the bullet. I know I’ll enjoy welding once I get started and it makes sense in the long run after all

It’s all about the time mate. We go away camping in a few weeks and as I’ve basically only unboxed the welder and never gone near my pride and joy I don’t really trust myself. But it’s not off the table it pains me to pay someone else but this time it has to happen

Probably should have mentioned I’ve got a welder + all kit helmet overalls gloves the lot, but due to having another baby a couple of years ago never got round to using it. Pains me to say it as it’s something I know I’d love but the toddler takes up all the hours . Need someone else to step in...

Evening all, After finally getting my beloved D1 started (thanks to all who helped with great advice) it was time for the dreaded MOT. After plenty of prep I took the old girl to be checked knowing the following 1. Outer sills both sides 2. A+B pillars bottom both sides 3. Drivers (o/s)...

Just keeping you informed as requested. Looks like a firm culprit to me. New sender on order. Cheers

Thought I’d keep you informed. Exhibit A . New sender on its way. Looks like a firm culprit

Thought I’d send you this , reckon it could be the culprit. Hopefully getting the new in this weekend
