Hi Andrew, Thanks,but 1 bag is new and the other quite new...but then I did disconnect airpipes from the supply at the compressor side,but i did put them back and tightened them up.But I'll check there as well.

You should also check and bleed the coolant regularly,filling it with the reservoir raised and continually squeezing the top rad hose as well.

Hi , just recently fitted a passenger side Dunlop airspring as the car had been dropping fully (periodically) on that side. The old spring was 4-5 years old. After replacing this it inflated properly ,but now I notice that both sides start to drop slowly after a couple of days ...If I start it...

Hi, As somebody who has had two different fluid leaks which resulted in costly breakdowns ,I decided to replace the ACE and have never looked back. I did this myself for about €400 I now have a more reliable car and the handling is not much different .Replacing/repairing the ACE is a...

Did you determine if the nose was coming from the front or the back as if it's a diff it could have varying different noises when going up or down hill under load etc as I had experienced . I had a noise which I thought was coming from around the transfer box ,and earlier thought it might have...

might be no harm giving the ride height sensors a good look over too,as they don't last forever.I've seen recommendations that they should be changed every 5 years or so,will keep you out of trouble in the long run.

If you are going ahead with this ACE conversion,as I did and never looked back and don't notice a big difference in handling make sure you order the correct rear ARB as there are I believe 3 different types,depending if you have rear coil springs or airsprings

Thanks Sierrafery, but I didn't remove any of the sensors but was working quite close doing the disk&break changes . I will check out for dirt and debris though...And great info on the Nanocom Locator as we have a cottage not too far from Fermanagh. I'll be taking a trip up there soon so will...

Thanks James I guess only Hawkeye can read every code whereas other cheaper readers are limited and d2 is not obd compliant I also read..

My 2003 td5 with 102k on the clock has started to intermittently light up the 3 amigos. I can drive around for a bit like today and they never came on whereas a few days ago they came on 3 times in 1 day over a short period. They will then go out when I switch off the engine. First question ...

Thanks Erazmus/guys,good instruction & detail above ,will certainly go at this again when I know the weather might remain dry for a bit and you're dead right I need to tackle the leak(s) first as this is what probably caused the problem in the first place

Front sunroof in my 03 td5 had been acting up but would always open /close eventually and as I had also some water coming into cabin from the roof dripping down at the middle front and now I notice after heavy rain some water at the drivers side floor towards the edge... I tried to shift the...

It could be .Mine was removed working perfectly and it is easy to turn and there is no play forward and back forth albeit there is no fluid in it .I am now selling it if you are interested at a reasonable price....

Hi Steve911, I've converted ACE to "standard" or DE-ACED as it's also known .I left my airbags in and bought new ARB's and droplinks ,the front ARB being the standard ARB and the rear is specifically for SLS models but was not available from the usual suppliers and after searching high up and...

My rear door lock stuck several times last winter and did as you did ,took off card as I couldn't open from the key or the inside lever but the reason was the lever on the outside needed loosening up with some silicon oil and a straw ,then operating it many times I freed it up and it opened..I...

I've read in earlier threads it's not an MOT failure,however I've also read other threads which mentioned the leaking fluid caught fire so those MOT guys probably should fail it for leaks from a safety p.o.v....but don't appear to.. Removing the old seals was a nightmare for me..hence I am now...

I eventually removed ACE functionality due to losing my patience and working in the dark on the block I damaged it while removing one of the seals....believe me I found it very difficult to remove the seals as they were almost welded in ..but when the M.D. tells you they would charge huge bucks...

I would agree about the keeping the bags now that Paddocks are doing a Dunlop airspring for about £63 and changing them along with the sensors every five years or so is no big deal. I had one go on me about 4 years ago and actually saw the guy change it in 15 minutes and charged me about €250...

Thanks ,just got my volt/ohmmeter back this evening so will check it out. I did have an airlocking problem more than a year ago but no stalling and at that time I changed the Thermostat and bled the system and never had a problem again until last week until the coolant level dropped.The...

Would there be any chance that one or more of the ACE pipes have been left in situ as the front pipes are connected to the actuator around the area under the battery .I removed my ACE but left the pipes there and tied up the open ports with rubber glove fingers and still managed to get some...
