Hi, It's a 1998 on an Plate.

Hi Kapilamuni, No........Problem still persists......lol ! Not managed to get very far at all, But Car getting too much hassle for me - After spending @ £2,000 on it in past 2 years I've owned I think its time to sell on for what I can get as is.....(Hopefully £500-600) I,m currently using my...

Cheers Wammers

So dropped auto sump, No bits of anything clear red oil ! cleaned filter, put back with New o'rings and topped with Dex3. ..... Still no forward motion? But did notice that selecting Sport/manual, light on initially, but goes off together with message center gear advice, (D, 1,2,3) and does not...

Cheers Wammers will look into it more tomorrow! (Have never changed fluid or filter!) Oval plenty of oil (correct level) pinky red colour no burning brown or leak!

Hi wammers, No appreciable drive in any gear, was waiting for gate to be opened, drove through, put footbrake on whilst waiting for the passenger, drove off up a quite steep hill and drive got less and less until no drive at all! 2/4 wheel drive-1-2-3-D nothing! Reversed 1.5 miles until on flat...

Whilst out today, my truck decided that it didn't want to drive home and hence was brought back on a transporter! The symptoms are - No forward drive. ..... No noises. ...reverses fine?? Please any ideas?

Timing was set when FIP was resealed in November, my own diagnostics don't work, So guess it's back to the garage then! lol

From Cold starts within 2 seconds of glow light extinguishing! Idles approximately 1050-1100 rpm for 30 secs then drops to 750 (when timer disengages unit) So assuming unit working as should! When warm/hot glow light comes on as normal (with unit!) Did not come on prior to fitting when warm and...

When warm (Normal section) just turns over, never fires, would carry on turning until battery would go flat!

Ideas if you please gents. 170,000 miles. Only have the problem when vehicle is warm, (Normal range on gauge). Fip serviced 7 months ago (No leakage) No fuel running back, No air in system. Hot start kit fitted - heater plugs on when key turned- Not depending on temperature. Heater plugs all...

No..............Its just a P38! lol:confused::confused:

Thanks all, Pretty certain it was the alternator, (Even though light was going off when running, No message on center!) Voltage at battery was only 12.4V Fitted a 2nd hand one from Emmotts of Colne (reads 13.7v when running) No variance, with lights , fan, radio, wipers, ON.

Hi Wammers, did get that message once as Battery symbol flashed, then went out, Battery is a 110ah battery 2 months old (replacement for one that lasted 6 months) but didnt fail as quick as this one!!

Hi Chaps, hoping to be pointed in right direction....... Went out to truck this morning, Started first time and took children to school, (8 miles) having dropped off went to stables and turned off. Worked for about 2 hours got back in truck, tried to start and Nothing! (seemed like flat...

Sorry, was just trying to help! Still learning myself

Don't know if it will apply to yours but ended up being my problem. I had new seals on the FIP, New Leak-over pipes, New injector (No.4) with sensor, Non return valve prior to filter. No fuel leaking anywhere, New inline lift pump fitted, but still the air! (Would run but kept breaking down, and...

Hi Dave, the AA bloke said it was the one in the pump? Take it he meant the Fuel quantity servo unit?

On scan, it only listed Needle valve sensor fault.

Sorry,1998 2.5 DSE Auto:crazy:
