Ok so it turns out I must have a leak somewhere as the fluid in the tank has dropped to a low level. That explains the warning lights then, and must of only just happened . what fluid am I going to find today that I can use?

Haha I hope not

Thanks Thanks Stan

Ahh I see what you mean now, definitely won’t be without the ACE haha

But that has a risk of failure on the pump pulley right?, and could result in a snapped belt. I will investigate this afternoon when I get home, not sure what I have in the way off issues or anti toll bars etc. It sounds like your system failed in the appropriate location so they continued to...

Unload?

Ok cool so I will investigate but I’m pretty sure I don’t have anti roll bars. Will check into all the suggestions. cheers all

Back in black you said you But you mean replace with Anti rolls though surely not just deactivate right?. Because without the ACE working or locked, the vehicle has no cornering support does it. Or as I’m on coil springs will it be less of an issue for a while compared to bags?.

Thanks all No I don’t have access to a scan tool unfortunately (not unless someone knows of a fair garage or friendly landyman in south London). I’m going to check it all over today and see what the score is, unplug the wiring and clean, check fluid and pump, then maybe take the fuse out if it...

Thanks guys and yeah I am worried about the pump and belt, but if the pump is moving fluid and I can see it circulating in the tank, then the pulley at the belt isn’t stuck, then it should be ok though right?. And Stanley that’s reassuring, did you suggest pulling the fuse and then driving...

So I have the ace warning light going off for the first time.I have read through other posts on here so need to check fluid, leaks, filters etc to investigate the cause. I ventured out to get fuel for the first time since this drama (you know the one the government says is hardly happening )...

Thanks Andy. It’s a lot of water and quite a shock to see. I think one side is blocked and will have a look tomorrow. that’s a good idea about extending the drain, not sure why they aren’t like that from factory.

Ahhh thanks guys so there are two, I only get water from one, I will check to see if it needs a clean the other side. Strange design to have to much water leaking down the transmission tunnel onto the connectors.

So I drove it this morning, same 1.5 hour journey, no water. I ran it in heating economy mode So without the air conditioning, is it possible it is condensation from running the air conditioning unit?. where is the A/C outlet, is it in the picture?

Haha no just using the blades to free the set via the holes, turns out they fit perfectly. The issue was actually a Stereo removal tool that seemed to short something in the player which surprised me. Normally I would disconnect the matter but it was like ahhh it’s just the stereo.

I have just found what I though was a major fuel leak under the landy. I spotted it when I stopped to fill up. It’s under the driver side just above the drive shaft universal joint, behind the bell housIng (towards the rear). It’s a rubber grommet and leaking lots of drips of what tastes like...

So turns out two jigsaw blades and one tinny electrical fire inside the CD player later. Job done. so advice to anyone else is disconnect the battery as the fuse At the CD player didn’t even blow when it was smoking!!!

Thanks for the suggestion stanleysteamer...I may just get the hammers out we will see how much I can remove to get access. Regretting my decisions in, 3, 2, 1!

Haha yeah it’s getting closer to hammer time every min. Hopefully someone will give me a better option than taking the whole plastic face of the instrument panel and braking it out

Afternoon all So it’s time for the discos old satnav stereo system to go. But I can get it out!. I took it to Halfords thinking they would have a removal key for it and they couldn’t do it either!. It takes two flat thin keys at the bottom but what type, is there another way?. Any ideas how to...
