Well, went ahead and bought a new Water Pump. The Webasto (after a Lockout Reset) now kicks into life, the car's cabin fan comes on (the Webasto is also wired to work as a Parking Heater) I hear the familiar heartbeat of the Webasto-branded Dosing Pump clicking away (tested- it spits the fuel...

Thinking of buying a water pump off the auction sites, but they are not cheap. Again, I really would appreciate if any of you folks who have a Thermo-Top heater, would check if the Heater's Water-Pump alone (engine off) can circulate the coolant water up into the expansion/filling-up bottle...

Can you folks with working systems, please confirm if the Webasto Water Pump on it own (engine off) can circulate coolant up into the plastic Coolant Expansion/Fill-up bottle ?

It's the second-in-a-row I bought from fleabay, that is the sencond 'reconditioned' job from East Europe - the ones that come with the new wiring looms and a cheap chinese fuel pump (I fitted a used good Webesto fuel pump). A cope of times when I have been driving with a hot engine, and...

When you start the Thermo Top itself (with the engine not switched on) does the Webasto Heater's Water-Pump have enough pressure & flow to visibly flow coolant water into the engine bay coolant reservoir? Reason I ask - Webasto Trying to diagnose why my Webasto Thermo-Top C heating system fires...

I have one of the little Windows diagnostic test kits, but the little cd of software that came with it wont read. Does anyone know where I can get a clean download of the latest Thermo Test software? The Webasto website no longer has any links. I gave up searching after umpteen sites...

Around 120 in ideal winds, the Mk1 Auto TD4 with a power box doesn't seem to want to stop, but it could get your name in the papers and off the roads for a year. Found a great big dirty nail right through the middle of one of my tyres this morning. Do YOU check your tyres for these gremlins...

The Tailgate window lifting wires that run from the window lift/lower motor snapped a while back, I got one of the repair kits from an auction site and fitted it. All seemed well but the (new) main lifting wires snapped again... Not keen to try another repair kit, tbh it was a bear of a job...

Ahh, halfway there... what happened to the last 5 images ? I need them !! ;-)

122,000 - 2001 built TD4 Would do it again, love the car.

Thanks for the extremely helpful stuff here. Will have it checked before ordering any replacement units. I'll post back what is was in due course.

No I won't ignore you :-) Is this a classic symptom? I hope so as looking around, decent re-manufactured compressor units will cost me £400 up. When I first looked into the engine bay, I noticed the belt-wheel of the compressor drive belt (and another belt-wheel next to it) were showing a...

Thanks - had to get GreenFlag out. Seems the AirCon Compressor has given up the ghost, intermittent seizing up, clunky mechanical mashing sounds, and burning the Compressor's drive belt (the heavy rubber smell). Slow drive back home was okay, as long as the AirCon button was not switched...

Freelander 1 TD4 2001. Parked up in hot sunshine with dogs so aircon was on. After half hour car shook somewhat from engine bay. Immediate loss of aircon coolness and power steering. Car sounded very lumpy. Stopped engine. Engine bay roasting hot, very unusual. I let all cool down for...

My Nearside Front and Rear door latches have given up, they lock but won't open by the remote fob. Both failed within a few months of each other. Keen to replace with the better weather - are the Rover 75 latches fully compatible as they do look a good bit cheaper on the auction sites...

No it was Pin-2, on the X6 connector. Update. Well I tried the diagnostic gadget with dedicated wires to the 12v 2-pin plug, then a solitary croc connector to Pin-2 of Connector X6 Totally dead, same thing, no comms with the diagnostic. At this stage, I decided to get the heater off...

Yeah, reckon that's worth a try. I had a look at other more expensive diagnostic adapters on fleabay, some have 2 main crocodile clips to go straight to the main (2-pin connections) power on the Webasto, with only one solitary mini-croc-clip to go on the Pin number-2 of the 6-pin X6 connector...

After a Time-out each time, this is the message I get. What we have here, is failure to communicate... Stumped. I was surprised to see the X6 connector Pin-2 already connected to a wire. Wonder if that was a reason for it not communicating with the diagnostic? Did I wire it right...

Very late update, still trying to cope with a knackered wrist not yet healed.. I wanted to make a permanent wire from Pin-2 (Diagnostic) of the X6 connector, for future ease of use. I found there was already a wire coming out of Pin-6 on the X6 connector. So I bared it, tinned it, then...

Still struggling to find them. Anyone know someone who could fabricate a set, perhaps from the rusty ones as a template and rough idea of costs? Cheers if you know.
