Pardon my ignorance but when you say tighten them do you mean squeezing the connectors to ensure a tight fit?

I read that thread as you suggested and I think I will swap the driver pack to see if the fault i mentioned ever returns, and while there have a look at the connectors as suggested, cheers.

What you said there about it flashing briefly before rising, thats exactly what it does. I'm guessing it's either supposed to do that or it's electrical as if I press the inhibit switch it will stay where it should be indefinately.

I didn't want to start a whole new thread for one question, is it normal for the car to sometimes lower to access height when switched off unless the inhibit switch is pressed? There aren't any leaks anywhere, the compressor is good, the overheat switch is good and so is the pressure switch, the...

It's ok, worked it out now, the answer is yes it should screw in flush as there is a recess for the o ring. Ta

Thanks all, should the part that screws into the engine be flush and what's best the lube the o ring up with? Cheers.

Ok, so replaced the water pump but I found out why the mounting for the aux belt tensioner was loose basically te outer cap is stuck to the inner boss and I am now struggling to split the two parts so that the inner boss can be tightened to the engine properly and then the cap on top.

The bolts are tight but te pulley and the threaded part where the fan screws onto still move from side to side.

Thanks, is there an alternative to hylomar if I can't get it specifically? Should the water pump pulley be loose? Cheers.

Hi all, I just had a few quick questions if anyone can help, firstly I've got an oil leak at the front of the engine (p38 diesel) it seems to be coming from the auxiliary belt tensioner is this possible and should the tensioner seem loose it's the part wit the large Allen in the front. Also...

Lol sorry, the one under a hose next to the alarm sounder held by a 8mm bolt, well it was that one but it's now where the cable goes into the battery clamp.

All sorted, it was a dodgey earth.

Hello all, some time ago I accidentally positively charged my engine ecu which resulting in the car not starting, this issue was resolved by earthing the ecu to the body. Now, quite randomly, the car just refused to start, no ignition, nothing, now I changed the fob batteries thinking it could...

I see, I agree with the superlock thing, I only wanted to do it to find out whic key I have by doin the seat position trick but then it doesn't really matter anyway. Could it be that the fob is knackered as it is pretty beaten up, cheers.

Update: I replaced the driver's latch and there is now no mysterious window closing or flashing indicators happily, however the car still will not superlock and I get the 'key battery low' message daily, any suggestions greatly appreciated.

If I am trying to dehumidify the car with the A/C, should I have the re-circ on or off? cheers.

Ok so I removed th becm and cleaned all connections, they all looked ok however the carpet in the drivers footwell was soaking, I reckon from when either the matrix o rings had gone or the pollen filter covers were leaking and it just hasn't dried out yet because there doesn seem to be any fresh...

Thanks for the input, I will now: 1. Dehumidify 2. Clean the becm connections, i take it i can just disconnect the battery and then remove it? 3. Get the A/C regassed so that it works. The drivers latch is knackered, could this contribute? Cheers.

I do get random indicator flashing also, if that could be linked.

lol
