Hi, that's a bug#er, how many miles has it done ? When I picked mine up within a mile the auto box oil temp light came on (Faulty switch) but I changed filter & (oil twice) just in case. Filter looked good but the (filter) o-ring had been sliced in two by whoever did the last change. Not sure...

Doh, didn't see the AUTO bit, what a plank 😂 😂. Mine has the synergy ll box with eco button & I think the best I've has is 37 mpg. I'm driving it to Hereford sometime after Aug 1st (170 miles), very gingerly, as it's the first run it's had in 2 yrs, I'll see what mpg I get.

Not all readings given are plausible. I for one am glad about that ;).

Hi, are all the sports manual ?

Hi @Freddie17 , can't thank you enough that's put my mind at rest after what was a 'long' job. As the XYZ switch mysteriously failed when it (the g/box) came back from from the reconditioners I was beginning to worry if something else had failed in their 'cleaning' process or if I'd left some...

Hi, thanks so much, I'll plug mine in later & take a pic of the scanner screen.

Hi, my Foxwell scanner gives me the oil temperature (for level checking) no problem but it also gives the coolant temp presumably from a sensor in the JATCO & it's the high coolant temperature reading from that sensor that concerns me, as when I switch from the g/box menu to the M47 engine menu...

Hi, welcome to the asylum🙂. As said no need to worry about disconnecting the battery, apart from (as said,the radio if you haven't got the code) & the clock. SLS work (if fitted)often requires the need to disconnect battery to avoid recalibration along with welding etc & don't forget disconnect...

Yep tragic RIP girls, doesn't matter how fit you are, you can't guarantee ya health (makes me smile when people say they're 'fit & healthy').

Replaced the short rubber hose from the vac pump to the hard plastic tube. The 'rubber' hose was as hard as the plastic bit & had split where it pushed onto the pump. I had to stanley knife the end where it pushes onto the plastic hose as there's a hell of a barb on it;). Passed it's mot...

I've had a couple fail on mine as well, I think they break internally as mine had no continuity when put on a mm.

The drains end at the bottom of the A pillar (or thereabouts) so the side steps shouldn't be an issue unless mud/silt is blocking the bottom of the pillars.

I would have thought if the seal was leaking it should drop into the frame & then drain through the tubes, it's when they leak between the frame & roof itself it finds its way onto the headlining (amongst many other ways of course) !

Yeah the glue won't stick to the degraded foam.

As above but you could also try adjusting the striker on the 'C' pillar if you have no luck.

I haven't watched the video yet but I was impressed with the std D3/4s I saw going through the 'mud run' at Billing the other weekend, did anyone else see the Ineos get stuck ?

Hi, is it a manual or auto ? If it's auto the torque converter can be a limiting factor for more torque.

Hi, welcome to the asylum. Could be worth popping over to the 'introduce yourself' section :). Has it got the 10P (EU2) or 15P (EU3)engine ? Someone must have added the coolant level sensor as these weren't std on D2's.

Hi, yes you can buy the new cases with microswitches, just a fiddly job soldering those microswitches onto the board,best of luck.

Hi,if the discs are grooved/scoured/warped/cracked or down to there minimum thickness then yes they (the discs) will need replacing (even if one is as I described then you must replace both, if they are still smooth on both sides & are not down to the service limits or warped/cracked then they...
