I though I would resurrect this post rather than start a new one. I got to the bottom of the issue, the battery has stopped holding a charge and I think this is caused by the battery not being charged. With the engine running it was showing 12.5v across the battery posts and slowly falling and...

Hi all, the oil getting into the air system has reached a point where I cannot ignore it anymore. I have a spare turbo but that also has play and shows oil ingress. Given the age of this model I am assuming that all turbos are now worn so do not want to risk getting another used turbo. Can...

More like uploading its breakdown schedule.

I need some guidance. Yesterday I was driving around doing chores did a couple of stops to shop without a problem. Went to the local supermarket and spent 10 mins in there came out to a dead battery. Got a jump start, drove it home, took 5 mins and turned it off. Tried it and car would not...

The same for the Beru ones I had on hand. Plus I lost one as it dropped into the engine somewhere. no amount of searching could find it.

Thanks, it looks like it's the glow plugs as the back two are wet.

Hi all, long time no speak. I am looking for your opinion on a problem I have with my Diesel. About a week and a half ago my Rangie suddenly became difficult to start. Lots of cranking until a cylinder or two start to catch then carry on until the revs pick up. I have assumed that the glow...

The later auto dim mirror is considerably cheaper on Ebay, thats why I bought one and found out there were two different types of fitting. I have the mirror on hand so thought why not use it if I need to replace the windscreen. Does anyone know if there were any changes to the windscreen?

Can someone tell me where part 22 goes in the diagram below? It fell into the door space so did not see where it came from. I do not like it when I have parts left over but it is usually the case!

I have a general question regarding the wiring of the autodim rear view mirror. I need to replace my cracked windscreen due to it being MOT time, it currently has the earlier fitting type. I also have a rear view mirror on hand that has the later fitting. If I replace my windscreen with one...

Thanks everyone, I have had a good look at it and it is the same part, the cam, as the one that causes the sticky handle problem. Looks like the door handle pin that moves the cam has worn the seat on the cam so the cam does not move enough to open the door.

@Datatek Yes it open from the inside. Its the only way I can use the car. The window winding mechanism broke so the door card is already off. I will have a look to see if that rod has come off.

I have been through the old posts but don't think this is the same issue. My drivers side door handle has stopped working but operates as normal. I became worse over time where it would take a number of attempts to get it to open the door. Now it just moves but does not cause the latch to unlock.

When I get a problem filling up, I pull the nozzle out a little bit and turn it either upside down or at least an angle. I think it is due to fuel hanging around the nozzle causing the shut off to trigger.

Last night I lowered my drivers side window and the glass has come loose. I have not done anything yet so assume that the glass has come away from the runner. I can hear it operating when trying to raise or lower. I don't recall seeing this issue in any thread before. So any hints and tips...
