Just to say thank you Fery, problem sorted (till the next time!!) I hadn't seen the bit about swapping the relays but that did the trick. Strange as there was no sign, or smell of any burning or damage but anyway, changing it worked. I was all ready to test the whole system but no need...

Hi there, don't know if your truck has one but my 03 behaves a bit like that when the catalytic convertor is choked up. Despite my normal suspicion re "snake oil" 2 doses of Cataclean have made a difference.

Sorry, yes, that's what I meant re the firing order, it's much more accurate than trying to set the position by "eye". It must be that the carbon behaves differently with no glow plug present. I'm retired now but was used to dealing with tractors and diggers where the amount of carbon present...

Brilliant Fery, thank you. I have saved the link and will get "Betsy" into my workshop tomorrow and work through the list. I have already serviced and checked the manual side of the braking system so I suppose that's a start. I will post updates and no doubt call on your knowledge again as I...

Yes, you're right, it does seem to be number 5. Mine was exactly the same and fortunately I broke it "by accident" then realised what it was!! I don't know if the 2000 Td5 has them but the cylinder numbers on my 03 are visible through the spyhole on the top which made setting the injectors a...

Hi Fery, yes, I printed a copy of your reply to Rotem Mirzai and followed your instructions. My pal has an indy garage business and we tried his Snap-on tester which gave the same result. However, when I clear the fault code with the Nano, all works fine, the T/C works and the ABS works until...

Hi folks, could some of the experts answer a question for me please. I have a Nanocom 1 at the moment but it will not read fault codes other than "Pump not running" for my 2003 D2 Td5 which, of course, is showing the 3 Amigo's. Would I be better to buy a Foxwell 530 for the Slabs/Bcu and keep...

As a double check, when I did mine, I noticed that there are numbers stamped on the cam end denoting which cylinder is at TDC. If you look down the hole next to the locking pin hole as you turn the engine over you should see them. This removes the doubt as to the height of the rocker. ps, the...

I'm not quite that far north but give me a shout if you're up this way again and I'll put the kettle on!!

I must agree with you, I'm no expert but I would not be happy with this result.

Hi and welcome mate

Hi and welcome mate

I'm in Bonar Bridge, the auto box and torque convertor are still in the D2 although the engine is out so easy to access. I think I have a seat but don't know if it's in good enough condition as it's still fitted and covered in loads of other plastic parts and I can't get near it to check at the...

Aye your right, I'm about 30 miles north of Inverness
