That's a good move if you do a lot of swimming 🤭

They are both at least doing their jobs. Bank a does look a little more worked but they are mirroring each other as well🤔

I must apologize about the typing... This funking phone is smite 🤬

Economic fabrication I call it and in the aircraft zone and quoted by an engineer I spoke to in the aircraft or airliner game, they call it value fabrication. It's a question of money and budget as with everything. Although in comparison a vehicle may Injure or kill a handful of people were as a...

Mine's never clicked in nearly ten years my mate. She's been stuck in water upto her bcem, had the usual leaks and had the connectors removed after a few years of ownership. My sons had some radio noise but all down to the corrosion in the left footwell connectors and once removed. Bingo. 👍

The next step and there are two options. The first is a hack, you can spray a little break cleaner Into the air I take and see if the motor starts. If the motor turns it's not a skipped timing belt and could be something else. If it doesn't fire up it could point to a jumped belt which means...

You are very welcome. 😊 You might just get away with a universal kit. As long as it is listed for your vehicle 👍

While cranking the engine, can you see the camshaft turning through the oil filler cap? Does the crank pulley turn? Hopefully you are aware of this engines failure points..

It'll depend on how sensitive the new tow bar kit and vehicle electrics are. Some kits will just accept the connections to the existing light wires on the car. More and more modern vehicles need to be programmed to change brake performance and cooling patterns which are sensitive to load, also...

Do you think there could be some of the filter jammed in there? If you could the pressure control valve out and check for debris. Hopefully that could be the answer. Was the filter really bad then?

The auto central locking, isn't it available in a options menu on the car settings somewhere? Most makes give you that option 🤔

Now get it reprogrammed 👌😎👍

The tapping sound could be from many parts in the engine. A result of the original failure or another issue in the engine. Unfortunately I can't give you an exact diagnosis without seeing and hearing the engine myself. Is the noise at the top end or the bottom end? 👍

Aha, OK. So the engine in a fashion adds fuel and subtracts a bit of fuel to allow more air to go into the cats to boost the efficiency of the cats to burn the emissions off. This is why the fuel trims lift and lower and in turn the lambda sensor or exhaust sensors do a similar thing when...

If you can get the nano In graph mode (not sure). The short term fuel trims should average around 0 in the plus or minus. The lambda sensors should have an undulating wave pattern indicating more or less oxygene pass-through the exhaust and cat. If the short term fuel trims are running in the...

The 3.0tdv6 isn't a great engine unfortunately. It's not a question of "if" it fails but "when"!! 😢 Métal would be found in the fuel filter not the engine oil, if that's what you mean? Any tapping noises near the bottom of the engine block could point to failing bearings on the crank which is...

Did you flush the entire fuel system? A blown pump will contaminate the whole fuel system with metal. Normally just one failed injector will warrant all six to be replaced and a failed pump will warrant a whole heap of things to be replaced... Rails, injectors, pressure sensors and anything...

She purrrdy❤️

But dashboards aren't 😱

Beat the sheep out of it☝️😎
