One thing after another !

I’m back again lol so after my becm problem was re synced and sorted cars ran lovely the past 4 weeks however car decided die on me today eml light came on car lost power came up gearbox fault on the dash it’s a 2002 51 plate p38 2.5 hse with 96k miles on the clock hoping for good news not bad pleas

If it died whilst you were moving in gear it will automatically show a gearbox fault I believe

You need the codes read. Do you have nanocom?
It could be something as simple as a low voltage at the ecu (it is winter and that can kill a suspect battery) or it could be something major.
Without knowing what code it's throwing its pure guesswork.

I’ll get it plugged in tomorrow yes I’ve heard a few ppl say about the voltage issue the battery is only 5 months old brand new cost me £95 could possibly be alternator issue but it’s all guesses at the minute I’ll get codes pulled tomorrow and report back it’s not what u need this close to xmas

Coasting with dead engine in gear will cause gearbox fault to come up. You need diag, more than likely it will show quantity servo fault. Can be held off by increasing idle slightly. But will eventually need a refurbed injection pump. Also check lift pump function for flow and capacity.

Servo fault?..and refurbed injection pump?..any idea wa I would be looking at price wise?..if that is the case?

Worry about the price until you have a diagnostic result, maybe just a miner fault somewhere?? Wammers has his crystal to hand, he's never bloōdy wrong... hopefully this time, he may be wrong...

refurbed injection pump is around £300 ish

Hahaha mark I don’t know but tomorrow will determine wether I’ll be laughing or crying lol

Bloôdy hell!!
Who does them for that price Dopey?
They are mega bucks here in France!
I was quoted a 1000€ for a rebuild...

Hopefully just something not so involved, both budget and stress related...

I’m sure the past week tho I’ve seen the eml light flickering on and off very faintly

I dont know if they are good or not, but you can get them refubed for that, getting it cheap is one thing, getting a good one cheap is another

Just a quick one does the alternator on these have anything do with the gearbox I.e if the alternators faulty would it possibly put that message on the dash?

The gearbox fault is a red herring as stated above.

refurbed pump from Diesel Jones more like £650 before fitting. 96k miles would be an early fail I think.

Just to add to the mix, earth fault or maybe crank position sensor?

Ok cheers I’ll know more tomorrow thanks

Any results Mr burgers?

All sorted folks turned out be the alternator not charging properly £120 + vat Bosch one sorted it can I enjoy xmas now with no more issues?..

Fingers crossed hey guys

Nice one, another problem bites the dust!!
