Rather like when you're under the van running an airline into the diesel heater combustion air intake, don't lay with your head under the exhaust outlet, don't ask me how I know either Ahh f**k.

Sounds like it could be the switch on the ignition barrel. Known to be problematic. The indicator stalk mechanism may be pushing/resting on wires that are connected to it, or maybe the small vibration affecting it. What ever, I think I'd be trying a replacement from a breakers, I don't think...

You really are a **** aren't you? We have had members on here install lift kits. Everything is fine for a bit, then their drive shafts have gone. So crawl back in to the hole you spend most your time before coming out and showing yourself for the **** you are.

Although, if you are throwing parts at the problem, rather than finding the error code, if you bung a cheap pump on and the problem persists as-is, you haven't wasted much cash and can put the original back on. I to, feel sure that if the EML comes on, there will be a code stored telling you why.

Yeh, or course! If you're switching from intermittent to auto, you'd need that. The OP can have mine if he can tell me how to configure it to be intermittent ;) Mind you, mine's bloody useless! Spent to much of its yoof smoking ganja I think. Fried its brain.

Well if its your DPF its nothing to do with induction. Presume its an F2. Meandering at 40 for an hour is not the best conditions for a DPF. They prefer hot and, to a lesser extent, high revs. Dunno if you can do a forced regen on the F2.

For the wipers there is no physical bit that is different, the switch has a position between off and on slow and there is a variable lever - so I would imagine there is a config that can set that position to either intermittent or auto. Whether it is changeable once set, you'd hope so. The...

I wouldn't bother with the auto wipers cos they are rubbish. What's worse, you don't have an intermittent setting so you are constantly faffing around - double trouble. Auto lights are good, just leave them on auto and forget about ever having to do anything with the lights. *1 *2 *3 Notes...

If you think the car is dangerous, why haven't you had it fixed? The car is even telling you there's a problem. All you have to do is plug in a code reader and the car will tell you what the problem is. Then you can fix it. Its a pretty simple process so that you, your passengers and other...

Computer says : NO. Do it my way.

How does this play sound through the car's speakers? I just have a cubby hole where you have the screen. I see that Capapro can transmit sound on an FM transmitter that can be picked up by the car's built in stereo. Sounds like a good option, so I'd just tune the car's stereo into the Capapro...

His brief has told him to simply make "no comment".

How long have you owned the car? I'd check your fusebox and make sure someone hasn't replaced a (something like) 5amp fuse with (something like) a 50amp one! All wiring is rated well above the fuses, so should not burn out.

Is that to be shared between survivors? Or each. I think @MGT needs to sort himself out a brief.

Mate, you've become an Aussie, just put a bit more effort in and google a bit further! It is possibly just a spring that needs replacing that closed (or opens?) the cooler valve. Looks like the spring can't be purchased individually and you either need to spend your $4K or make something up...

Ah, the satisfaction of a 'project' :cool: That and an excuse to drink lots of coffee.

What has @MGT got to do with anything? Sorry, I've obviously missed something by ignoring the thread.

Do you just get frustrated with them all, and throw the odd one away, and hope it didn't do anything :D

I wouldn't have thought an oil analysis could tell you which gears or bearings are failing. If you can get the bearings replaced in the pinion for £100 It may be worth doing rather than the expense, and trouble, of removing the IRD and getting a recon. Give it a good flush so you know its...

Those old ICEs eh. All those moving parts, valves, chains, belts, shafts, pumps and the cranks, pistons, con rods etc. All replaced by a simple electric motor with 1 twirly bit. They are so much simpler :rolleyes: I wouldn't know where to start with that lot. Zero emission, maximum...
