Just checked, mine is definitely a *4* digit code and it is the R990 radio, which I think is the same as yours, “top of the range” at the time. I have disconnected the battery since and the code in the manual is the correct one!!

+1 ^ it’s the way I did it when I first got mine. I found the radio code scribbled in the handbook and also the EKA code. You can’t change the radio code as you can the EKA.

+1 ^ A huge mine of experience and knowledge….

From the ignition switch, it goes through fuse 23 in the IDM. From there it goes to the engine bay fuse box and is connected to the starter relay. There appear to be no other connections so it should be fairly easy to trace. Good luck.

Worth opening a bleed nipple or 2 to see if there is pressure in the system. About the only thing common to all 4 wheels. Master cylinder seized? Good luck.

Thank you. I'll keep an eye on it...

It's worth checking the MOT history. I didn't bother with some which had a history of chassis patches when I bought mine.

Hello All, So, in the storm on Saturday I set out cross country in the truck. After about 45 minutes it seemed it was using far more diesel than normal. While I was thinking about whether the gauge was faulty or just the terrible conditions, I could see the fuel gauge falling and it was...

Well, that won’t help! Let’s hope you have solved it.

That's a difficult one. The fuel pressure from the HP side of the pump to your pressure gauge should all be the same at 4 bar, give or take a smidgen for flow resistance in the pipes. There is a bit of a clue here, that you are measuring about 17mV across the fuse, which, see post #10, should...

If both gauges are showing the same pressure, it would be very unlikely they are faulty in exactly the same way. You have changed the pump and it’s the same. I would say it’s more likely the FPR is faulty, even though it was replaced a month ago. Just my opinion. Cheers.

Yes, you can see it from underneath. I wrapped mine with “spiral wrap”, as an extra covering in that area before it actually damaged the loom.

Well done! Was that one of the wires in the loom near the P clip?

Thank you for that, that’s useful information. When checking to see if the connector was properly seated, it seems the wiring was quite rigid.

Thank you. Not the easiest part to get to!
