I was used to immobiliser chips hence the question . Will try one last reflow first. Other thing of worry is seeing fobs removed from list . Both of mine were refurbished as well. Nice new switches. Those are the most common ones i have seen.

One seems to be well knackered, almost like it was EMPed. So I need a new one. What is the best course I have? Got a Hawkeye. Where is the immobiliser chip? Can I reuse a second hand one, once reswitched?

BTW I drop new switches on these as a matter of course.

My plan is to buy a couple off Ebay, refurbish and get them coded to my D2. Is this workable, what kit do I need? Can a D2 recognise 3 fobs so I could not lose my working one? If nanocom required, any near me? Will read ACE codes with my Hawkeye if required.

How easy is it to code a new fob PCB with Hawkeye?

Of course, no broken tracks, nothing I can see dislodged. Other key is OK. Cleaned with IPA,, mechanically looks fine, only have a reflow left to try.

Battery good, switches good, what else can fail?

I thoight filter bit obvious, fuse box good call

Then check Over the old one dry joints and the like

Two things come to mind. Pressure sensor, monitor it, will bring up faults. But I think it may be worth getting a spare ECU. I think the drivers for the solenoids start to fail.

Ford who are not good engine designers compared to other companies. And almost certainly things like emmisions and fuel consumption cause running at the thinner end of recommendations. That said I had one car, Esso 20-50 fine, other brands, burnt it. So even though I could get a decent 20-50 I...

TD5 does not either

Had it out 9 years ago to repair the drain. Had help then, now moved out.

Expensive year this year then. Will have to go to agreed value.

Sagging down in a couple of places, above the windscreen , and above me. Other side is squishy, but not falling. What is best repair please?

Levers out the injectors so new washers can be fitted. Push short end under the injector pump body, and pop them out. Quick way on the Disco 2

Allen Key?

I may go s2 if i can get hold of a v8 tc, but chassis comes first

Begin with D? If so. No idea what happened but they were good remaps, then went down the pan. As to wiping it, depends, if about 5 years ago or older, should be fine.
