"Do you have any times for a healthy one with an 8kg weight, please?" My Daughter's - 10k on a new GKN VCU -25s @ 5Kg 12s @ 8KG Mine at 130k - 28s @ 5Kg 12s @ 8Kg Mine at 140K - 30s @ 5Kg 13s @ 8Kg (from the date on my VCU it's original 2005) Must have had matching tyres all it's...

Make sure you push down your brake pedal - then the switch just clicks in like an electric light bulb

OK - missed that - but just to clarify - I have no such problem on any surface using those tyres - just saying - I would study the advice on Haldex rather than worry about this particular brand of tyres

I have not long fitted a set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde to my FL2 and it takes off like a scalded cat on my 6mm gravel drive with no problem

A pal of mine had a similar thing - but in his case he had mixed up big end caps - is it possible to put your cap on the wrong way round?

Thanks - I will have a look in that area - not familiar with it yet

Ah yes - missed that on aircon - it's mechnical. - and yes I have heated screen. A while ago I had that alternator light signal that the smart charge rate wasn't funtioning and it disabled the heated seats - found the ubiquitous blue wire break under the fuel filter and fixed it - that's all...

OK - I had one more failure to crank (three months on)- possibly 'cos 'er indoors had been using aircon on her habitual short trips - although maybe the enhanced charge rate for heavy loads - heated seats - should have taken control of this??? This time after refreshing the battery it still...

I have seen reference to SDD being able to report on last 10 alarms. I have been getting braver and exploring the menus on SDD but I cannot find that function - can anyone give me a sequence to get it? I'm on version 159.332

actually it is very handy having the bonnet open switch paperclipped 'cos it allows me to observe current drain in all configurations of lockiing etc with the bonnet open. Thst all seems fine. On reflection when I have been working on the car in the past and have left ignition on in a...

-and the TAC says current draw this morning after sitting all night is 0.08A - so no permanent drain fault observed there - that's good

Blimey - I forgot I had a clip on meter - it's a Tacklife CM01A - I'll add it to the observation process

Yeah - all good stuff to work through Right now I can't reproduce the fault - still just observing battery voltage behavior sitting in the garage with several short startups over an extended period

Well no - I have not stripped the starter or fitted extra earths - but after a short charge the starter whips it into life and sounds perfectly healthy - It's a month between the first time and again now - it sounds more like the common symptom of a poor battery where the ECU thinks it will be a...

a month or so ago my FL2 failed to start one morning - one wurp then nothing - next try not even a wurp. put it on charge and after a while was fine - started normally - the Bosch battery was only 3 yeasold but as it is normally my wife in this car I just changed it - (I still have it as a...

Make doubly sure you have pushed right home the temperature sensor plug on top of the fuel filter - it should lock in with a click but mine wasn't for a while after I changed the filter and then one day behaved much like yours. I found the suggestion from anoother guy with similar symptoms and...

Oops - missed that

A regular one for rattles is the ally heatshield over the back box dropping down - easy check

Problem SOLVED - a search here on P0183 found a guy called jonny_j had the same power loss problem and found that the plug was loose on the fuel temperature sensor on top of the diesel filter and plugging it in solved his power loss. I checked mine and found it had not latched on properly - it...
