Haha were you the mot guy by any chance!?

Haha brave or thick as mince... still to be proven but the engine at least feels superb and the paintwork has scrubbed up fantastically! Will update later..

To be fair, I am sure the electrics will be a simple fix and literally 7 of the other ones for sale when I checked on the mot history all mentioned chassis rust! 1250 was a good price

Haha eh!?

Ok, I'll refer him to your advice from here too Thank you

Will it not help with the 3 amigos or rear windows?

No problem Please don't think I disregarded your advice, it was invaluable for me when I went to see it Used that and the rust to get what I think (hope) is a great price of 1250 Will know by 1010am tomorrow!

Yep, no need to apologise though I managed to get it for 1250 because of the "niggles" Its a risk, I know

Well, down at 10am tmrw to have it plugged in, see what the issue is... Are you charged just for the plugging in part yeah ?

BOOM

Washed and polished!! (Despite being told that is sacrilege haha)

Haha, that's the spirit!

Yep that's the thing the service history for mine stopped at 2015 so no idea if its mapped or the egr valve is blanked etc

Ah right, Haha duh... I am just conscious that I have come from a capri to this so it is going to drive completely differently Just want to make sure I understand it before thinking something is wrong! So hopefully you will all bear with me over the coming months haha

What's the trick to getting the auto to "kickdown" manually?

Quick question please on my new 2003 td5. When starting up, should you give the car 5 mins to warm up? Only ask as, again it might just be because I'm not used to driving these cars but the speedo seems to go up in slow motion and there really isnt a lot of power at first In the auto box...

Haha ok So to be honest I'm a novice, think I'll take it to the garage Give him the head up then that it might be something to do with that pin 7?

The more I Google the more worried I am that it Is the bcu Just seen this.. When a BCU fails it can immobilise the vehicle, key fobs not working, either or both the front windows, rear windows, hazards flashing etc, dash lights, & system failures. You need a degree of knowledge to diagnose...

Sorry for being thick but you are saying the power to the flasher relays should be coming into the fusebox from pin 7 in that same plug the cut wires are in yeah?

First of all mate thank you for your help here, I know this issue has been asked loads of times but I've read every thread and couldn't get an answer No clicking at all at the relay and thats on 2 different fuse boxes I've tried now, so would that indicate (excuse the pun) a problem further...
