As the system has been recharged the most likely cause is the increased load on the pump so either the mag clutch is having a problem or the drive belt

It suddenly occured to me, I've got a 2KVa Inverter sitting under my workbench:eek: Its a APC 2200 UPS, the only trouble is it's a bit heavy 'cos the battery is built into it. If you press the power button twice it will start up without any AC mains supply going in. So now all I have to do is...

Halfrauds are a joke. Trying to fit a second battery into the caravan for off hitch trips so wanted an isolator and the local caravan dealer had one for £4.99 Halfords price for exactly the same unit £12.99:confused:

Due to changed circumstances (sic) we no longer need two cars. However the freeby is a manual and the missus needs an auto. Went to the local dealers more than anything cos thehave the range for her to have a test drive. They wanted to price up the two cars to start off the process. The...

Inverters do not have a set level of efficiency but changes according to what percentage of rating is being used. It is fairly logical really, with no load they are at their most ineficient because the electronics of the inverter will be using some power to run but its doing no work. Above 70%...

Most inverters will shut off when the on load voltage drops below a set threshold to leave enough juice to get the engine started but this does depend on your motor being a good starter:rolleyes: If you are looking to run something fairly heavy then I would look at a dual battery system where...

Unlike the fob the immobiliser does not change its code as there is no button to press. It is even more puzzling because the immobiliser does not enable the starter cct independantly. There is a rolling code system but it is between the Immobilisation ECU and the Engine Control Module (ECM). On...

Being a Harmon Kardon system the sound is adequate as it is (it is a car after all). I have looked at replacement speakers however the originals do not have equidistant mounting points so I haven't found anything which will fit. It is quite signifcant for speakers to be properly coupled to the...

Noticed a number of threads about speakers on here. While sorting out the window winder I noticed the back door speaker was not working after I put it back together (might not have been working before but did not notice). No matter how much I cleaned the contacts as soon as I pushed the plug...

The key itself has nothing to do with the fob. If the fob is able to unlock the doors the alarm system should also release the immobiliser to in turn accept the key. The alarm system does not in itself inhibit the engine from starting but does it through the immobiliser ECU

The fact that one key has problems and the other not would on the face of it indicate a problem with the key. However as OP says the starter relay is energised by the Immobiliser ECU and not directly by the ignition switch which would indicate that the Immobiliser has accepted the key. As to...

This from the googleing:D:D:confused: Britcar (UK) Ltd > ELD500200 WATER SHREDDER RHR DOOR F/L 1A> (G) John Craddock LTD - SHREDDER REAR DOOR WATER R/H 1A302557 TO 3A99999 - ELD000040

There is a reason why most workshops use air tools and it aint just historical. You would deffo need air for all day work.

It has very little life in it. Knew of a few rally specials that used it and the owners planned to replace it each year.

It's the heavy plastic sheet most car door have fitted stuck to the door under the trim panel:) And no, I have no bloody idea why its called that.:confused: I only know cos the part number is printed on it so I googled it and that what it's described as:p

Stripped out the regulator, no broken cables:D. Dismantled the motor to release the worm drive, loosened of the mechansim, reassembled motor, works a treat:D:D. Not all good news though, tried to get a new shredder sheet from the local dealers. None in stock and the factory have no plans to...

Tailgate window! Not just the fact that the seals leak with age and you end up with a wet boot. If the eletric winder fails it won't lower to get the door open but you need the door open to fix the winder. I also dislike the VCU, not because mine has had a problem but at 56,000 I know it...

There should be no specific implications with towing a trailer as far as insurance is concerned as long as it complies with the manual. It is very easy to exceed the 750Kg limit when filling with rubble/dirt etc. or building materials so be careful. My small trailer sat very low at the back...

Why duz all the wuns wiz big guns say "deactivated":attention::D:D

Restitched the leather cover on my gear stick:eek: Yes I know, its sad but all the aftermarket ones are a bit bling and it passed the time while me missus was in Physio.:D
