Replaced headlights with LEDs. I can actually see more than 10 feet ahead in the dark now!

Washed it.

Put the new EGR valve in (will be blanked at some point). Problem solved! Car runs beautifully :)

Removed the gummed-up EGR valve.

Just got this. I'm thinking it could be the cause of the other issues I've been having. I'm currently exploring alternatives.

Ok so it seems the sensor positioning is critical; the plunger needs to sit in the dip of the bit inside the transfer box or it won't work. Not easy to tell when fitting as you can't see very well, but a mirror gave me a clue. Sorted! Now just need to work on the boost issue when hot!

A replacement speed sensor arrived but before I fitted it I thought I'd try the original back in. This now also gives the same result - i.e. no speedo reading at all. I checked the connector and wiring, dirty but otherwise looks fine. Cleaned it and put it back - same issue. Any suggestions...

Replaced the speedo sensor. Doesn't work at all now! :( Will probably be putting the old one back tomorrow.

I recently replaced my Defender's turbo. Since then it's had an issue. When it gets hot the speedo goes mad when I accelerate, jumping about or dropping to zero. When it does this the boost also drops off, then back on, then off, etc. On advice I replaced the vehicle speed sensor, but either...

No codes from the EPB as such, but the instrumentation ECU gave the following 2 codes: B100D - Steering column lock plausibility U0128 - Lost Communication with Park Brake Control Module (PBCM) I'm guessing the fault is related to the second code.

I managed to clip a kerb while driving in Snowdonia at the weekend (Ok, I was looking at the scenery!) and the fuel gauge instantly stopped working. It just reads empty and I get the "Low fuel" warning. It has failed in the past but then come back to life. This time it seems to be more...

Some have suggested elsewhere that this could be due to the wiring on top of the turbo not being seated correctly. Will have a look, if it stops raining!

Hi all, I had a turbo underboost issue on my 2.4 and the turbo vanes had seized. I replaced the turbo which didn't cure the underboost (but needed doing anyway) but I started noticing a stuttering of the power when accelerating. Weirdly when the stuttering happens, the speedo also went haywire...

Excellent, thanks!

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I'll need to remove the AC condenser so I might as well just go ahead with it.

Hi all! To try to fix a turbo underboost fault on my 2007 2.4 Puma, (having already tried the hoses) I tried to order a recon turbo but was told by the seller they don't sell them any more and to buy a new Chinese one from Ebay instead, which they can't compete with. (I've since been told it...

Hi all, my 2007 2.4 TDCi has a whistle (actually 2 different ones) relative to turbo speed, sounds like an ambulance siren. Word on the forums says this is likely due to a warped inlet manifold. [EDIT - might not be warped, might just be a failed gasket] Could this also be the cause of my P0299...

What's wrong with a log burning stove with a wacky-racers style chimney? That would work! May not please Ms Thunberg though...

Removed the spare wheel carrier from the back door. Changed the rear door hinges for Optimill ones (well, the top 2 so far. The bottom one is a faf so I'll do that when I've got someone to help). The rear door now closes properly! So much quieter! :)

Broke a bumper bolt :( 3 came out (with loads of WD40) - 1 didn't. Broke flush with the top of the retaining plate thing Now trying to destroy the plate with a chisel (I have new ones) to get it out!
