    TD4 Injector advice needed please

    normally if its a LP pump or pumps then you will get a mill light warning or go into limp home mode , its best to make sure the pumps are delivering correct fuel before looking at hp pump or even injectors ,not forgetting the simple clogged up fuel filter . . . . . .

    Tailgate Window Annoyance

    sounds very much like the window motor encoder is fooked [its all part of the motor] sometimes if you disconnect battery and reconnect [make sure you have radio code] you will be able to open it , but the fault can be intermittent and so is likely to return , its a stupid design and only cure is...

    Rear door strange

    its the tail gate motor well not the actual motor but the count segments [a kind of crude encoder] its fitted in the motor gearbox so you need to change the whole lot [its a right pain]
