Checked fuses in engine bay F15, F14 & F13 all ok and passenger comp F23, F24, F26, F29 and F34. Apart from fuel pump and starter solenoid all seems to be working and no errors. Hopefully 1 hour with Shims and his Nanocom will help.

Hi Sierrafery I have tested FL8, FL12 in engine bay & F23 in the drivers fuse box. The job I completed before the fault occurred was replacing an ACE Directional solenoid. Before replacing the solenoid I had a Yellow ACE lamp. After I replaced the solenoid the ACE light cleared, but the car...

All looks well in the passenger foot well.

Dear Sierrafery Thanks for the advice. I will try this tonight and let you know how I get on. Mike

Hi guys. The D2 is in good shape and low mileage with little corrosion. There are a a couple of common problems which I am trying to fix at minimal cost. Current problem is ACE valve block. I have narrowed it down to the front directional solenoid. I am looking for a working solenoid if anyone...
