Roundabouts. Yes plenty around here in central and South Scotland. Could that cause the wear I am getting ? The tyres have done around 15kmls, mostly towing a medium size caravan up to Isle of Skye and back to central/South Scotland.(Plenty of roundabouts). I have given the alignment a little...

OK folks. Yes I am thinking it could be camber on that side due to wear in joints. Testing with lever etc, however, all seems ok with no appreciable movement in any the joints. Also wheel hub bearings are good with no movement. Point taken ref adjustment and steering box being brought back to...

Hi folks, TD5, 2001 Front tyres are Hankook Ventus, with rotation correct. I am finding my front n/s tyre wearing down the outer edge faster than the rest of the tyre. Wear on the other front tyre seams pretty even as does both rears. I normally run, light loading, at 30psi front and 40psi...

Hi GW3YSP, You do not appear on QRZ Callsign database. Anyway thanks for info re leaks. As is normal I have leaks from I suspect the front sunroof. Been putting up with gaffer tape sealing for years !! A job for hopefully this coming summer is to remove headlining etc. Many thanks, Mabe catch...

Just had it out for run. Absolutely no problems. Cheers all. Dave

Great !!!!! All working now. Just as it was as new. Seats, Radio, Heater, Fans, Windows, etc. Many, many thanks for your efforts. Yes, gave the circuit boards good clean and a wee coat of pc varnish. I am used to working on these pc circuits, even the surface mount types, so do appreciate what...

Hi sierrafery, Think I have found it !!! On connector C588 pin 5 W/R colour, a lot of crud around pin between pin and pc track. Checked and this was shorting across where it did not look like it should be. Cleaned this up with toothbrush and fast evap switch cleaner. Short now gone !!! Tempted...

OK out and opened up. Some sections look really cruddy. Real pain getting all connectors off it. Going to be a real PITA getting it all back. Have ordered a replacement so will get back to you in a day or two. Many thanks Dave

OK understood all that. Will remove and investigate. When put back in I will follow your procedure and keep fingers crossed etc. Many thanks Dave

OK I will probably change the fuse box. However, I will have a good look at it when it is out. I am a retired electronics engineer, so ok with printed circuits and soldering iron etc. I can not thank you enough for your help. Wish me luck and I will report back hear. Many thanks Dave

Seems to indicate fuse box then. Perhaps a short due to moisture ingress etc. I believe if I replace fuse box, and all is ok, the vehicle oddometer/mileage will be out of sinc and the mileage readout flashes until reset by a "main dealer". That's a real PITA...... Sever years ago as I think I...

OK Did that. Exactly the same. 12v to solenoid and pump running. Conclusion ? Dave

Hi serra ferry, Disconnected yellow wire at the fuse box connector pin 5 (it comes from ign switch) leaving others on the connector and plugged into fuse box. Turned key through all positions. No cranking volts to solenoid, but some clicks from around vehicle etc as normal. With switch in...

OK All noted. Will give it a try tomorrow. Dave

OK Thanks sierrafery for being so patient!! I am very reluctant to keep canking the disco with this fault, and possibly causing more damage re starter etc when it starts. I have found the direct lead to the solenoid coming out of the engine fuse box. A thick N/R (brown/red) lead. If I...

OK Thanks for clarifying the role of BCU, in regard to earthing for immobiliser etc. BTW I have already checked the ignition switch, by removing ign switch and checking the switch contacts. All seems ok in as mutch that, the W/R wire from the switch gets shorted to the N wire (+12v feed), only...

OK Let me get this right. With ign switch in off position, ie key out, you want me to wire a live 12v feed, from battery +, to pin 5, yellow wire on the fuse box connector, leaving this connector in place. Is that correct ? Sorry if I did not follow this after your original reply. I am really...

Yup, your dead right. Fault is back...... Perhaps water ingress dried up a bit, but is now back causing problem. Studying the circuit, and after much measurement with DVM and continuity meter, I have eliminated the ign switch, the ignition relay (which is in the engine comp fuse box), and the...

Hi folks. Been a few days since starting this thread. Anyway finally got it sorted. After a lot of testing with DVM traced this fault to a sticking relay in starting solenoid circuit. Relay in box under driver dash was sticking, so replaced with new and all fixed!!!! Thanks all who replied with...
