What tyre issue?

MAFMAFMAF.. all this pump and pressure ideas is a load of cods.....

This hose is under great pressure from the turbo. If its split the turbo will sound weird and lack of power will be evident. Oil in these areas is quite normal. Get the hose replaced and go from there.

2 fixes I can now report on that were successful!... 1) When my engine was hot it occasionally refused to start. I was advised it was the lift pump... However, after changing the Cam Sensor my TD4 has started without fail now for 3months! 2) Poor performance over the last 12months... i.e...

Oh! now I know why they call it "rip off Britain":( I know who to go to for my parts now;)

Where is here?

Hey! thats very very cheap...half price! is it a bmw part?

Sorry no pice, but, Remove the top engine noise cover. Look at the top of the engine to the left. Half way between the yellow oil filler cap and the braided air intake hose. The sensor is on top of the engine held with a single torx screw. Takes 30secs to fit. Good luck......

Fitted a new sensor today at 46 inc vat..From Stratstone Aylesbury....Tnx...ED

I've owned this FL for a year now. Last week I found the wing mirrors retract at a press of a button! :rolleyes:

Hi Mark Where did you buy the sensor from in the end? Tnx ED.....

Thanks Ming.... The lift pump (under bonnet) runs every time as you describe...I've pulled the relay in/out and the pump stops/starts every time (so it should).. Swapped the relay around for another of the same spec. Filter was changed at last service. Next I'm going to look at the location...

Hi Will, I work part time in a hanger that has 3 spits... 2 have wings removed and the 3rd is 75% together.

UPDATE!!!! LR started fine this mornng!!.. Drove 50 miles with several (5) stop/starts inc a variety of 'cooling off' periods. Pump (under bonnet) ran up every time the ignition key was turned. Engine fired on the button!! so much for the AA mans "pump in the tank has packed up" comment...

Thanks Will... R U into Spitfires??? Enrico

My FL wouldnt start while luke warm.. Spin spin spin for 5 mins and still no joy. Then, a quick squirt of 'easy start' and brum brum! Told that the tank pump not working.... Dont know how he (the aa man) knows without looking or testing it! anyway, it now starts every time! any ideas please...

Thanks Guys... any other experiences plz? ED

Thanks for the welcome mondo...... I have a td4 auto that displayes poor pickup, gutless/poor performance. MAFAM looks to improve the area I'm lacking performance.. 1200/2500 revs. Followed your thread with interest and would like more feedback regarding the MAFAM box with a pburg sensor...

Mondo, Did you get to fix the smoking problem....
