Sorted! I'm bleeding from three fingers after prying my two fobs apart - they are seriously well stuck together - but I now have one that works. I swapped one of the switches over and now all is well. Very fiddly soldering, but it can be done after a beer or two. New case is on order, but the...

That sounds simple enough, but would require a faultmate or something similar right?

Thanks Wammers, I'll give it a whirl. Hopefully, I'll be able to build one working fob from my two duff ones. H.

Hi all, My key fob is acting up. The lock button works fine, but the unlock button is intermittent at best. Replacing batteries did not help. If I stand next to the car, furiously pushing the unlock button dozens of times it will finally unlock, but I can see the day looming when it doesn't work...

Dave, Would this be an internal seal you're referring to? I can't see how a perished outer seal would cause the engine to flood, so I guess it must be. Do you know where I can find instructions? Regards, Henrik

Hi all, I've had an issue with the engine pretty much ever since I got the car. In short, it sometimes refuses to start on a warm engine. This usually happens when the engine has been shut off for between 5 and 15 minutes. Anything shorter or longer than that, and it works perfectly. When this...

You're absolutely right - I got it a little mixed up. The left motor stops as it should, the right motor stops short and the pump keeps running.

Did some investigating this weekend and the suspicion has now shifted to the rh motor park switch. The wiper does not go all the way back to where it should be, which probably keeps the lh motor and the pump running. I purchased a used one off ebay, so time will tell if we've nailed it...

Thanks for all the input guys, Just to clarify: It only happens when lights are on and I intentionally activate the wash and wipe function. If I switch off ignition it stops and then doesn't happen again until I activate the washer again. I suspect it's intermittent, because the mysterious...

Thanks, that's helpful. I'll start with the relay and then check the motor.

My thought as well, but does this circuit have a dedicated relay, or is it controlled directly by the becm?

Yep, the wipers keep on going, as does the pump.:confused:

Hi, Car is a 97 4.6 HSE. I have been loosing washer fluid and today discovered why. I thought I had a leaking bottle, but today after washing the windscreen in the dry, I noticed a fine mist coming over the bonnet. I pulled over and what do you know - the headlamp wipers were still running, as...

Are you sure you've been following the correct procedure for the EAS-kicker? Mine works like this: Pull over and switch ignition off. Switch ignition back on to pos.2. Plug in kicker and wait for green flash. Switch ignition off and then unplug kicker. Re-start.

Aha.. Got me ;). Yes, tee'ing them in on the lines as a permanent fixture wouldn't be much use for leak finding. So to be clear, my suggestion is to pull the pipes from the valve block and fitting the inflaltion valves directly to the ends.

Well, it worked for me. A leak at the inflation valve is very easy to detect and rectify.

A fair amount of googleing has revealed that regrettably, this function is not available. The phone pairs fine, with contacts and all, but only works as a phone through the BT. Audio must be connected to the aux socket. I wish someone would build a streaming module to replace the CD-changer...

Hi I had the EAS kicker sitting on the dash, so pulled over every time this happened and reset the system. On some days it would then work fine for hours, on others it would keep throwing up a fault every 10 mins. Changing the driver pack seems to have cured it permanently. The driver pack is a...

You have to get under the car with a spray bottle of washing-up liquid to pin-point the leak exactly, but I've found the following method works great to narrow the search: Get 4 emergency inflation valves and disconnect the four air lines which feed the bags from the valve block. Fit one valve...

Hi All, Just took delivery last week of my new pride and joy, a full-fat 2007 tdv8. I'm very pleased! Now, I have found out how to pair my phone with the bluetooth (although I haven't tried it yet), but will I be able to play music and podcasts over this same connection, or will that require a...
