I am well - stonkingly busy - and having 2 wonderful kids takes up a lot of my (and my wifes) time. I so try to get on line as often as possible, but with work, the kids and fixing the cars - I seldom find the time to be as visible as I would like to be. But we are well. How's things on your...

A common issue to prevent comms on the CAN is the headlamp levelling unit (Pax side A piller - white box about the size of a packet of cigs) these can get wet and go bandy. The CAN uses a high signal and a low signal to pass messages along - when one of the units on the can goes south it can...

Mornin' Alan....I pop in whenever I can - work is crazy busy - and haven't had to move house for nearly a year now - woohoo....I like to keep an eye o nthe forum even though I am not as active as I would most definetly like to be! Hows tings?

Morning, iCarsoft can't reset adaptions - sorry!

I did indeed - it was registered on the V5C as Dual Fuel as well but despite my protest that it burns cleaner and LPG was (at the time) exempt - because it was 'originally' a petrol powered gas guzzler I had to pay the charge. I also had an issue with a 200tdi powered Ninety - the DfT ULEZ...

Taken out through the back....

Unlikely the LCM - the LCM holds a copy of vehicle data like mileage and coding information etc as a backup to the instrument pack...but other than that all it does is turn lights on and off, get wet then cause all sorts of lighting faults....but it wouldn't be the cause of issues with the door...

When i swapped my ABS ECU out....I found a very helpful indy who programmed it for me over their lunch break....wanted to charge me £30 for their time so I gave them £50 as it was their lunch break after all and they helped me out no end! Maybe you could be lucky and find a helpful indy who...

My '93 K Plate Vogue on LPG would return a solid 13.5mpg all day everyday no matter what you did with it....cruise, tow, mud plugging....always 13.5mpg without fail....it was great as you always knew when you would run out of gas....it was always at the same mileage...

The EWS ECU (Immobiliser) checks the key code is correct and if it matches, it sends an 'OK to Start' signal to the Engine ECU. The Engine ECU then checks the EWS ECU to make sure it is the the right checksum value and proceeds to start the car... If you swap the ECU, you have to get it matched...

The internal volumetric sensor is also a known cause of random alarm activations as well as the bonnet switch (which you already mention!)

Cheeky Fecker....we wanted to stay and even offered more, but they were to be returned no questions! Military homes are to be evicted in bid to reduce size of the MoD's married quarters estate Annington Homes owns freehold for affected properties in England and Wales There have been 350...

Sure dude....I'll PM you my new mobile number....

As mentioned above, Yellow connections are usually reserved for the SRS system. If the ABS light is still on after going past 5mph, then diagnostics are required as you state. If you put your location in (only roughly) then other members who have diagnostics who live nearby may be willing to help!

We are well, after having to move house twice in the last year or so - first time moving out to the west country for work, and then again when the MoD wanted their house back (review of their married quarter estate and our house was one due to be handed back) we have hopefully settled for a long...

Shame to use it for a flush, if it is still sealed flog it and get proper stuff for the TD6..... I am trying to get more time online in between work and kids...like most other peeps life is hectic at the moment. But I still keep my eye on the board at times when I can. Even fella, after moving...

All lights out is a Hard Fault and only diagnostics will help you see the fault and clear it out once rectified...as mentioned, it could be the fact the undercarriage was left dangling, they don't like that at times....sometimes you can get away with it other times they throw a hissy fit...

It seems a bit skinny for the TD6, usual recommended is 5W/30, 5W/40, 5W/50 or 10W/40 meeting specification ACEA: A3 and B3

Also, correct me if I am wrong - the Diesels (espeacially early ones) would have a drain caused by the OBD port....later ones where fitted with a diode...trouble is can't remember which wire....but it was soldered in pretty close to the socket on the loom. It should cause a drain overnight, but...

No probs, glad you sorted it!
