Chas, Not suggesting you try this : just telling you it's something I did : at the time I was trying to figure out the problem I was aware that the pump would fire up by shorting it at the pump connector. In desperation I eventually rigged up a wire, ran it though to drivers seat ( through the...

Chas How to Test Your ABS Pump Hope this gets it to you ...first time I've posted a link !! If all you're doing is changing the pressure switch all you need do is undo the 3 bolts holding the pump : unscrew the pressures switch ( see pics at link)which will require firm attention : screw in...

That sound a tad pricey for just the pressure switch :I might be wrong.

Ant : to get back to the point : you say that your complaint is that they refused to send a replacement part without you returning the defective part : short answer = they are right : you are wrong. Re "hanging up" I have dealt with Emmot's twice in 3 and a half years : first time they sent a...

Pressure switch requires no bleeding of brakes or any other brake function : read my "how to" with pics. I suggest you contact Emmots, our sponsor and ask Joe if he has a pressure switch : ask him to check it before sending out : you can get another duffer which sends you off on wrong tracks...

Thanks Data and thanks Wammers

Thanks wammers. What's the fuel quantity servo and where is it ?

Twice in recent days I have had an odd fault. Pull into garage for diesel after about 10 mile rural drive : start up to leave and engine revs just a noticeable bit higher and injector light comes on. First time it happened drove on (30 miles) panic stricken waiting for problem. Light stayed on...

Took me nearer 2 weeks ! (i)Top pins were well & truly rusted in (ii) after it failed to stay up I discovered a straight connector in the line which was leaking then (iii) i discovered my compressor was knackered.....

Happened to me about 3 years ago : I just took the trim off, pushed switch back up,.... and stuck a bit of foam rubber under it. Prob has never repeated.

I was getting same intermittently : it was no more than a nuisance but having read some stuff on here I simply, when I was taking the key out, instead of the usual straight draw, just put the slightest of pressure towards me, ( that is at 9 o/c looking at the barrel straight on. Message stopped...

I hate to intrude into all this private abuse that's going on but I'm really glad you raised the question of MOT's.........'cos mine passed today without even an advisory....and I just had to tell somebody....an' I couldn't start a new thread just to announce I'd passed my MOT...people might...

Just as part of general improvement I was thinking of replacing my shock absorbers. ( Have never done so before : surpised to see amazing differences in cost ranging from £50 per unit to £85 per ser of 4 ( Island 4 x 4 Britpart.) Any advice on what to get and any probs replacing ?

Mine's the same : watching out for the advice you get !

Lee, I'm sure its my advancing years but it might just be inbuilt caution : I never touch a thing on it without taking a series of pics as it was before I put my grubby forgetful paws on it ! The ease of digital pics these days makes that seem like a no brainer to me. Sorry I can't answer your...

Just ongoing report : I think I reported that journey home on the day of the fault was faultless . Despite events I took her back out again today for a round trip of 100 miles or so. Behaved impeccably in both directions ! :D

:confused: You make what looks like a reasonable point.......:confused:

Thanks dave : I'll check the levels as suggested by Datatek but would be surprised if levels are below acceptable. Your diagnosis would fit the facts :I did not turn off after fault logged. On next turn on later in the day it had cleared.

Thanks Data : haven't checked the level since it returned from recon : I assumed the experts would have got it right and I'd be OK for a while !

Friend of mine phoned his local friendly computer seller and said he wanted an "...ee , an eye and a pea.." : dealer didn't know what he was talking about : he explained the paint had worn off his "E, I and P " on his keboard and he was looking for spare keys.....he's a Scotsman....like me.
