Yes, battery was replaced in the summer. The interior light comes on when I open the door and press the button. The headlights and indicators all work as normal (although it no longer “bongs” at me if I leave the lights on and open the door so I always end up going back to it and having to turn...

Hi all. Long time without posting. My 2003 car now is my second car and sits around for a while in between when I need it for either towing or helping out with search and rescue or 4x4Response stuff, and I’m guessing the damp has gotten to it. The dashboard lights were at one point flickering...

A friend of mine knows a chap who has recently sent his car somewhere oop norf to have some prototype panels made. I will be first on the list when they’re available!

Just out of interest, How do you know where I have worked? One of my horsebox indicators isn’t working at the moment so I’m getting “check trailer lights” flash up on the message screen and it’s flashing faster than the other side. So obviously something is working, but not when the working...

The camera sends the image to my phone in its holder, which I also use for sat nav. I’m aware it’s a potential problem if I’m watching my horse, but hopefully it won’t ever get checked. It has saved my horses life twice now, as I’ve seen him stressed on the screen, got out and checked and...

Thanks. I don’t often forget I’ve got a trailer on the back, it’s usually when I take it off I can’t remember which way to turn the steering wheel to park! My friend can wire a buzzer in for me if needed. I towed again today with the camera running off the lights and I did check everything was...

Thanks. Better start saving my pennies then for a diagnostic device.

Sorry to jump in on this thread (another one). I have had my aftermarket Sony stereo put in and extra amp and subs in the boot. (Bass mad) and it’s all working on steering wheel etc. Was wondering what happens when I need to change the time on the clock for example, and also how do I reset the...

Sorry to jump in on this thread rather than start another. I’m a new owner of a 2003 HSE tdv6. It’s got towing electrics etc fitted. I was told when I did my trailer test (many years ago now) that every vehicle needs to either flash an extra light or make a beeping noise when indicating with a...

great thanks for that, currently on the manual trying to see how to do it, so i guess dropping the fuel tank is the other way to do it!

next thing on my list anyway, as fuel guage not great, just looking through dvd to find out exactly how to get to in tank pump! dont want to be ripping carpet up unneccisarily! (awful spelling, been wallowing under my bonnet all day doing Hydraulic damper - tensioner roller, and a nice scummy...

already on coil springs so that'll be tricy, and all seals and pipes etc are now silicone and definitely not clogged anywhere, it had redex last week when i did oil change cos i had half a pot leftover in the boot, a friend said something about a valve that could be jammed? might have to get...

help, hi boys! i think my turbo on my p38 may have stopped working, thus leaving me with an even more underpowered heap of german cr@p than it was when it was working! it sounds like a bag of spanners, unlike its usual purr! it does have oil etc, and its no longer running on veg oil due to...

well i was brave and when the light came on i put £20 of nice bio in ata cost of £1.15 per litre, its been running okay so plan to put more in tommorrow, probably do a mix overthe summer of the nice bio from the chap down the road from me, and then some svo, cos i can get it at about 90p per...

hi chaps, in the past i've run my discovery 300tdi's on either uvo or clean oil from cash and carry (yes i'm naughty) i have been told to not even think about putting anything other than real diesel in my 99 p38 cos its got a stupid bmw 2.5 engine, am i stuck with payng full price for...
