It'll definitely be getting muddy Wont be doing that overgrown lane through the blackthorn bushes in it though!

Ok - so i've probably gone mad, i'm probably going to regret it, and i'm sure as hell going to miss having a D2 which I was happy to abuse off road... but as of a week ago I've joined the D3 club. A large part of the reason is work, as well as some changes in my personal life. I need a car...

Thanks for the guide Gary... was really useful when looking at the new car!

Which reminds me, @neilly , i need to send a message round the group for december's trip! Despite some huge issues, we found some interesting new byways and permissive byways on saturday, a couple of which warrant further exploration!

Dont know of any local groups sadly... but if youre up for a day out on salisbury plain in december let me know and ill send you the details! Also more than happy to meet up for a pint sometime to go over os maps and show you which local lanes are drivable! Will send you a PM

+1 for checking the MAF... mine improved with a new MAF. Its still not the fastest thing on the road (I regularly drive other vehicles and the D2 feels sluggish when i get back in it) but its still respectable pulling away from the traffic lights if you give it a bit of a kick!

Thanks to everyone who helped! Its now running, and can be manually unlocked and locked. Still no definitive answer on why it screwed up in the first place... but at least its useable until i have a chance to find out exactly whats going on! Sometimes i long for a car that has keyholes in...

ok - now i'm at a computer (rather than a phone with 12% battery life left!) - firstly THANK YOU to @sierrafery, @The Mad Hat Man, @Hambo44 and @blue beasty for their help today. No idea why it didnt work - looking at the wiring diagram it should have done - so guess it is the connections at...

Yep. Pjtting it all back together now Quite happy to have no central locking until i can sort the problem!

If i now take thr lock fuse out will tjat stop it superlocking again?

Oddly just giving up. Reconnected battery. Started engine. Pressed dashboard unlock buttpm and the bloody doors unlocked!

Still no luck.

Still no joy. Have checkef with a multimeter and battery im using is giving me 12v.

Black Pink pur Pink red Pink grey Purple green

Do i ignore the purple and green?

Sorry. Confused. So you mean connect live from battery to pink/purple Then connect earth to pink,/red Then repeat with pink/grey or at thr same time? Thanks

So. Removed f1. Removed battery. Connected wires to pink/purple and pink/red. Connected to battery. Nothing Swapped the wires. Nothing Moved the wore that was on pink/red to pink/grey and repeated. Still nothing. Have i misread something? Thanks

Hmm tried the various combinations... live wire got very hot but nothong else happened!

Can get the 12 thats no issue. Which door do i need to get card off? Thanks
