Thanks both of you thats very reassuring. Much appreciated

Dirty switch sounds most plausible I live in Kampala, serious dust.

Is it safe to drive? I went about 100m and came straight home. Then I went up down drive about 10 times. If gearbox had no fluid or problem, bearmach would show a DTC right?

It’s 2001. We’ve had it for about 10 years. Had another second hand gearbox put in about 5 years ago

My 2003 dse2,5 while driving in D the red light is on but the N red light starts flickering, so tried 3 and it’s on ok but R is flickering, dash board the same the D is there but N flashes. Plugged in bearmach says transmission no faults, any ideas?

My dse automatic one morning the lights on the gear selector was on D but flashing faint on off N. So I put in 3 and normal light on 3 but it flashed on off R, when I look on dashboard display also 3 but shimmering R. I live in Uganda not trusting mechanics. Bearmach says no faults, any ideas?

P38 dse 2.5 hot start problem. Like as in pour a can of water over the engine. Live in Uganda in UK for RWC can I buy recon injector pump?

Thanks, already bought a new battery today when i saw the answers to the traction control question on this page and realized I get that warning now and again, and will see how it is tomorrow. Always starts like a new car when cold though. It is actually my wife's car. Why do expensive new(ish)...

I have just bought a DHSE 2001 and find the apparently classic problem of difficult to start when warm, but starts first flick if cold or hot. The "dealer" here in Kampala said sight unseen "new injector pump" There are old blogs on this forum talking about a quick fix cheap solution with a new...
