    Td5 using excessive fuel

    No not yet, Its only just really been brought to my attention as the missus uses it day to day. Could be getting a little more but I think we've worked out to be getting around 20 mile to the gallon. I don't know what they are suppose to do but we've definitely seen an increase in fuel...

    2003 TD5 rear airbags won't inflate

    Yes I'd noticed these short burst whilst we were playing about with it before but there air it's producing whilst operating is no more than your breathe would be hence thinking about changinging piston ring

    2003 TD5 rear airbags won't inflate

    Thanks Brian. Makes sense I never thought of it that way. We are thinking that the compressor may actually be working but producing very little air so I think I'm going to try a compressor repair kit see if this works as the rest of the system is air tight

    Yes loads and all linked with the compressor unfortunately I left the list at garage. There were both level sensors both control valves. Exhaust valve duty exceeded or something and another duty exceeded code too

    2003 TD5 rear airbags won't inflate

    Ok so I have an update the car is back up to normal ride height bit it hasn't done it on its own. We ended up blowing air through the compressor and manually raising it with the diagnostic machine. Question is why would it raise with the computer plugged in but not on its own

    2003 TD5 rear airbags won't inflate

    Hi yes car was running but to no avale. Maybe I've screwed the sensors as it was on 2 post ramp and I was amazed at how far the axles hung down. Were going to plug diagnostic in later to see if there is anything but thinking may change sensors. The sensor elbows are pointing toward the front of...

    Hi Brian, This is what I did, I put a 2 tonne trolley jack under the tow bar and progressively raised until offload light stopped flashing on dash as I had pressed the button to try lift the car. Once light had stopped flashing I slowly let the jack off and it just hit the deck again. I have I...
