Thank you Datatek. How do I go about getting the software and cables from you..?

Thanks again, I will press on and try and get a pc. Should I contact Datatek directly and get the software. The compressor works perfectly when it is getting power but there is no signal getting to it at all now.. I have checked the obvious fuses and solenoid.. Its a little odd in that the...

Thanks Saint.. I would love to buy the EAS software but I'm pretty sure it doesn't function with a Mac (any suggestions for that would be fantastic). The compressor works on a bench test but not in situ and so it is not getting a supply when in the car. Would this be caused by the fault needing...

Hi all, I have, what I hope is a little fault, with the EAS compressor. ('99 P38 DSE) Last week I had the 4 airbags replaced. After doing so it took a long time for the suspension to raise but when it did all was good with the world and off I went. Half an hour on the motorway, the EAS failure...

I just want to finish up this thread by saying that at long last I think I have this sorted.. At the moment its been perfect for about three weeks and I'm delighted. We removed the ECU from its housing, cleaned and re-crimped all the terminals and replaced it. Simple as that. Thanks everyone...

Oh dear, not too sure what to say to that but I have to do something.. Having said that it started perfectly this morning again - on the third turn - but thats freaky.. It would appear that my voltages are low anyway and so I will have to get that sorted and see how I get on from there... They...

I'm liking it.. who would be the best supplier of a refurb kit..

So I checked all the connections and then the voltages... 13.9 - 14.0 at both battery terminals and the back of the alternator.. From the information given here ( and thanks everyone ) that would appear to be too low and so the fault is now pointing directly at the alternator.. So I'll order one...

rodntod.. Just so as you know i did the three turn trick this morning and it worked, thanks.. But as I'm sure you can guess I'm keen to get it sorted and so will let you know how it works out.. As I'm sure you will if anything happens..

thanks for that datatek and i will be chasing up the JT, and your advice, come Monday.. In fairness though, and don't get me wrong here, but it also kindly informs me of a gearbox fault when none exists.. Thanks again..

That pretty clear information JT, thank you... I will def have it rechecked and re-post the results..

Wow speedie replies.. Thanks.. @rodntod I have tried all of these little tricks and jiggles and somedays good and somedays not so much.. Its a real pain but tomorrow i'll try it on the third turn only and let you know... @jt_armstrong I understand that it could have been the alternator...

Some mornings (not every one but becoming more frequent) when i start the '99 P38 DSE the revs shoot up to 2500 and an alternator fault warning comes on. After driving for two or three min the revs drop to normal but then the gearbox fault comes on and the box stays in third... Two min later i...

I have developed this exact leak and have removed and resealed this spring loaded plate but to no avail.. found this thread then but it's incomplete.. Bummer.. Please please post your solution

yeah, it is actually 'knockie' on tickover, was a bit worried at first until i figured it was a diesel problem... I fear you could be right on the pump front and i have it booked in with a pump man tomorrow afternoon... will post the results... thanks tor that...

I found and cleared the breather which has stopped the vacume effect, thank you guys, but the fu***ng missing has however not stopped.. I think it might be time for the injector pump man to do his thing as i may as well be looking into a field as looking at a pump...

cheers, will investigate tomorrow...

didn't check that as wasn't aware of it... any quick info.. ? i did however notice that there was very little diesel coming from the return pipe..

it has a new air filter but even when removed it still misses...

hi, the 300tdi started missing about 2 weeks ago and has been getting steadily worse especially at low revs... after changing the filter i changed an obviously weak lift pump but to no avail.. checked the diesel tank pipes and all ok except i have noticed that the filler cap is a little...
