    Air con fan sensor

    Dianostic check shows 00..No fault found. There is no chance of another ECU, mine is the only one in the area. I am reading on your post that the fan speed should increase/ decrease with the road speed. Mine has never done that. There is a guy some distance away who claims he has " dealer...

    Air con fan sensor

    Hi S/F Tried the temp check. Going from lowest temp setting to a high as it will go, the temp inside the vehicle changes as you request. The blower stays on max all the time no matter what the inside temp. You can slow it manualy but even then it stays at the speed you set it at no matter what...

    Rear UJs

    On the plus side, he is a good mechanic. Vehicles here are considered "tools" and treated with no respect. They have a job to do. When they break he mends them. He will never change. His number two is getting better and has even taken to cleaning grease and oil marks of the vehice when his...

When on Auto it runs at full speed and never slows down, drove 200 Ks and nothing changed. However I can lower the speed manualy in 5 steps from little blow to the high it constantly runs...

    Rear UJs

    After the air con question here is another one. I have a vibration at speed which I think could be the rear donut.(Been on for 12 years) So I want it changed, together with the spigot. Mechanic agrees to do it, no problem. Then I ask if he can change the UJ at the same time. I will get the...

    Air con fan sensor

    Hi guys. The clue is in the question...Is there one? I got the air con regassed today by a bloke who appeared to have the right kit. A plug in and play unit that can be programed to a specific vehicle.. All good. Driving back home I have an outside temp of 20o. So I set the air con for 20o, auto...

My supplier had no problem getting the "Old" style Grabber ATs. Said they have never been discontinued and he has been fitting...

    Broken Key in ignition problems

    If you get the new lock S/F recommended twist out the key blade with a pair of pliers. Split the original key fog with a blade, it will be tough and feel like it should have a screw, but it will come apart. Remove the old key blade,, put the new blade in ( now could also be a good time to change...

    Disco 2 build quality

    Having just spent the week sorting out the interior of the Disco I have come to the conclusion that the previous owners of the company deserved to lose the share of the market and Mr Rata Tata can only do a better job. The handbrake gaiter started to fall apart along with the diff gaiter. Had a...
