Low resistance is normally the heater coil inside the sensor fusing together. Very very rarely wiring or connector issues. New sensor of the correct specification should sort that code, and as said earlier, will function fine once warmed up by the exhaust gasses.

The siren in my Saab failed for dead batteries and just sounded off, usually at 3am or when driving past police cars. May have a look to see if I can buy a new one as they're often glued together.

I like the chirps/beeps when locking and unlocking, extra peace of mind the car does what i want it to. The keys were knackered when I bought the car and the fuse for the siren was pulled so it didn't sound when the previous owner got into the car using the key. I've since got new keys and want...

Hi guys. 2006 Vogue TD6 Bit of a strange one, got an intermittent siren issue. The siren sometimes beeps with the central locking and sounds off if I open the doors using the key. Other times it doesn't do anything. Anyone had this issue before? Checked fuses, wiring etc, everything seems...

You forgot the step ladder and scaffolding 😂

Don't think my battery has stayed connected long enough up to now to register milage over a full tank, never mind a week.......

Being new to a TD6 myself, I didn't know about the airbox trick. Will keep that in mind for the next time I'm threatening to set fire to the truck. Thanks for the tip 😃

I second the left hand drill bits. I keep a decent stockpile of them for exactly this reason. If you get brass guides as well that can save the holes and threads of the block as they can help keep the drill centred. I'm lucky enough to have access to a lathe in work so make those when needed.

Today I finally got replacement under trays through the post, on they went to cover up the oil leaks. Can't see them, they're not there........

Looking at the engine from the front, the turbo is on the left of the engine. The pressure hose comes off the turbo and into the intercooler at the front bottom left. The second hose comes out the intercooler bottom right and goes up to the egr valve on the front right of the engine. If...

Pressure tested the AC last week with UV dye and the condenser looks like an 80s pop star that had been shot with a shotgun. Holes everywhere. New condenser fitted today, regass, evaporated temp down to 1°. Now we'll have 6 months of rain and cold.

The waste gate pipework is still attached and any linkages properly setup as far as preloaded goes if it's external?

That stuff was the bain of my life. Massive cause of concern on aircraft.

Have you tried sacrificing the kids to the gods? Win in both cases......

If its largely been laid up, you have had a good look around that's rats or mice haven't chewed on the wiring etc or haven't made a nest in the air pipework or exhaust? Only asking as I have witnessed all of these over the years and we tend to overlook the simple answers. Also, how old is the...
