Ok, so I have today taken the car to a local garage who connected thief computer and we went for a drive. We could see from this that the four wheel sensors appear to be fine. All read zero at the standstill and then all four increase with speed and read the same. This only other fault they...

Welcome to the site. I am relatively new too, however, I am learning fast. I can however share a tale with you that may end up costing me dearly. July 2012 I bought a 2001, 3dr TD4 with just over 100,000 on the clock. I looked at the MOT history and there was nothing there to concern...

Hi, I know this is now a few years old but the fault code you have is the same as mine. Did you resolve this issue? If so, how? Thank you Regards Bev

So, for anyone that is interested, I thought I would continue the thread. Today my new dashboard cluster arrived (displaying 100,000 more miles than,previous but will look at this another day) and I have fitted. The good news is that my lights are now working. The bad news is, as suspected, I...

Reluctantly I have to agree with you. I think I knew all along I could achieve nothing from pursuing this, well, other an high blood pressure that is. Now I just need to wait for my replacement cluster to arrive and then see what illuminates. I may have to seek a friendly garage to try...

I have attached the single page from the MOT test Booklet issued by the VOSA for you all to see. The other strange thing is, I just had a friend connect his computer to my car to see what fault codes are present and it found nothing? There are no fault codes at all. Tis now makes me...

Gentlemen, By way of an update for you, I managed to locate (after much searching). The MOT test manual issued by VOSA. The date was Jan 1st 2012 and it clearly states that the tester checks that the lamp: 1. Is present 2. Illuminates 3. Does not indicate a fault. So, clearly...

Indeed this is why I am annoyed and why I was asking about the MOT. You see I bought the car from a garage in Eastbourne, and when I did, it came with a new MOT that I asked about. The response from the garage was "yes the mot has now been done, the only advisory is, play in prop-shaft...

This is an issue as I am not in the UK and a different approach to motoring / language does not help in this matter

This really is not good. I spoke with a seller on eBay today (a shop) and they cannot confirm if the item they have for sale has all the LEDs or not...!!! This really does put,me,in a,bloody bad position.

Hi, I have just ome across the same on my pr facelift 2001 TD4. It appears I have to replace the unit as the LED has been removed...!

Thank you. I shall now get a new unit from Ebay. I am still curious to know if the absence of these lights does result in an MOT failure? if so, how come it is a common trick? at the same time, is there a way of Adjusting the Mileage to reflect that which my car has actually done?

mine is a 2001 TD4. My issue (and annoyance) is that it had a new MOT when i bought the vehicle. the vehicle has now been tested and failed for the light being inoperative. now i have checked and yes the little square LED is not present. can I replace the missing LED? and if so, how...

can they be replaced? and with them removed, can the vehicle pass an MOT..?

Hi, I recently had a MOT Failure on the basis that my ABS warning light was not working. Having checked the fuse and found this to be ok, i then removed the dash cluster to look at the bulb, however i am now a little confused as it appears to be LEDs and not traditional bulbs. The...
