Found an old thread from 2013 on this matter but figured it would be better to post anew rather than add to the old one! Anyway, I had the same problem with my 54 plate TD5 90 - intermittent (very) failure to start with the tell-tale 'no glow-pug or ECU lights' and the temperature gauge...

10 years late coming into this thread! Anyway, I had the same problem with my TD5 - intermittent (very) failure to start with the tell-tale 'no ECU light' and the temperature gauge flicking to full deflection at the first key position. A year or so ago, after a tip from another zoner, put a...

Thx..Mahle and Coopers it is! Oil I have...also lubricants for transmission (all those were renewed last year).

Thx - will have a look at that!

I used a BritParts kits last time but I know many on the Zone have a view on the quality of BritParts parts - any advice on the best alternatives?

Thanks Meego - will give it a go

The tab has pretty much failed at the join to the crossmember (despite there being no signs of rust anywhere) - it's not all the way through yet, but there's enough movement to allow other parts of the exhaust system to rattle on the chassis. I fear that welding a replacement tab may be the...

A classic case of assuming the worst and going straight to the complicated solution rather than looking for the simple things first!

Actually it turned out to be much more straightforward - bit of a 'duh' moment on my part but in an exercise in advanced muppetry, someone had refitted the mechanism with the nylon t-piece upside down. So it was locking when it should have been unlocking etc. It looks like (presumably) the...

Got it - thanks again!

Thx Marksman - I have one on the 'watch list' now but will try the removing the actuator rod in the morning per AI203's suggestion.

Outstanding idea - why did I not think of that! Thanks!

Found a number of posts relating to central locking but none that quite matched the problem my 90 S/W has so hopefully I'm not going over old ground here. The central locking on the rear door has never worked in the time I have had the Landy and I finally got round to taking the door card off...

WD40 and a hammer I can do...I guess 2 out of 4 is not bad!

Thank you all - informative and helpful (and reassuring) as always! Although I have owned the Landy for 18 months or so - between lockdown and some other issues, I have not been able to use it much so am still getting to know its foibles!
