Thanks for the reply Andy. Managed to get it picked up by Green Flag. It should have been picked up first thing, but "got lost in the system".

Is it OK to tow my AUTOMATIC 2WD FL1 TD4 just under 2 miles to my trusted mechanic? It's thrown off the auxiliary fanbelt. I need to get it there ASAP, or garage won't be able to look at it. Alternative is to drive it there keeping a close eye on the temperature gauge as water pump won't be...

Thanks for the link. I've taken the one off the non-starting TD4, but may get one of these when I get round to getting that one going.

That's likely Dbest solution, Dbest43 :cool:

Thanks, but no thanks, Nodge. I'm looking for a cheapskate solution:cool:

Hi collective. Does anyone have a spare FL1 battery retaining clamp please? Price posted cheapest service to HU17 0TS. Kind regards, Mike.

GONE, but not forgotten :)

:cool:

Isn't that generally known as a "booty call":rolleyes:

That's optimistic, Nodge :cool:

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT :cool:

Excellent nar Excellent narrative. I'm hoping to follow this route, but need to see if I can get the lower mileage FL1 to start first. I removed the Camshaft position sensor off it yesterday, intending to swap it onto the higher mileage, working one later if I get the time. If it DOES work on...

Throw the other 9 away when you get them...you won't need to worry about losing them then:cool:

On my 4.6 Thor P38, the "Prog" function still works, despite the "book" displaying on mine. Hope that's helpful...

Actually no. I just ran jump leads from my running TD4 for about 15mins or so to dump some juice into the battery. After that, I tried to raise the window but, upon shutting, it immediately powered down again...several times:confused: I then activated the central locking switch a couple of...

NOW SORTED THANKS. Hi everyone. Just opened 2001 TD4, then rear window slowly powered itself fully down when I opened the tailgate. It now refuses to close:confused::mad: The battery was pretty flat, so I hooked battery up with jump leads to my daily driver F1. BUT, all electrics will...

You're bang on the button, John...but I'm far too old to care:cool:

Your secret's safe with me dubbleRR! BUT... ONLY... IF YOU... SEND ... ME... ...CAKE:cool:

I can't remember, as it's been yonks since I signed up.
