good point!!! any idea on the tool?

Hi all my 2008 vogue ignition switch has finally given up the ghost, ive bought a new switch but to remove the old barrel I need a special tool that fits down a small hole in the side of the barrel, can I make 1? if so what does it consist of? ive seen a picture of 1 and it looks like a very...

Thanks again for all your help

£78 plus vat, seems reasonable to me, any idea on how to remove the panel to gain access to it?

Thanks, I saw that, but the picture didn't match my car so I thought it was the older type, Many thanks for your help I will phone the dealers now to ask for a price

thanks just tried the microcat but it only displays the older type ignition where it is near you knee

it is in a different place but not sure if its the same switch though, it is in the centre dash to the left of the steering column under the radio / sat nav, I cant fathom out how to remove the dash panel to access it for the part number

Hello all and a Happy new year to you all, First problem of the new year !! my 2008 vogue is playing up, sometimes when I turn the ignition key to start the car the dash wont light up and I get a transmission fault message, if I remove key and try again and turn the key a little harder...

i did say in the earlier posts that i could hear air escaping when i opened the drivers door but because the pipes are under the fuel tank skid plate you have to have the vehicle on a ramp and remove the covers to see the pipes but most people dont have access to a vehicle lift, i had to call a...

Hi all thanks for all the info/help i finally found the problem, the main charge pipe to the reservoir had blown out of the union at the reservoir which would explain the loud hiss every time i opened the drivers door as it switched the suspension off thus exhausting through the pipe, i...

cheers i checked reservoir pressure earlier with the solus it was reading 168kpa, not sure what that equates to in psi ?? assuming the pressure valve on the reservoir is reading correctly

Battery voltage is fine 13.7 volts at idle, the t piece you mentioned i think is incorporated into the valve at the rear of the compressor which i have cleaned out already and now clicks when operated and switches as it should i think the problem lies further in the air system but im not sure...

right ive done a little exploring of the air system, the compressor output is fine i blew a tyre up with it using a modified pipe no problem, i stripped the valve located on rubber bungs at the rear of the compressor and was greated with a rusty watery mess which i cleaned out and reassembled, i...

i thought that so i took the cover off the compressor and ran it while i checked the air flow, there seems to be plenty of out put from the compressor, theres 1 8mm pipe from the compressor head that feeds 2 cylinders at either side of the compressor then at the other side there is a plastic...

In Follow up to my post last week concerning my 2008 vogue suspension fault ive finally had a moment to connect my solus machine, the codes are as follows C1B18: supply voltage x ref check C1A20: pressure increases too slowly when filling reservoir U0416: Invalid data received from vehicle...
