Probably how I worded it Andy. When I picked the car up after having the FPR changed the light came on as usual with the ignition but stayed on when I fired it up. The garage topped the oil up and it still stayed on. It flickered when I got home & went off but now doesn't come on at all when...

Nice. :D

Got me to work last night, and more importantly home this morning. 25 miles in all. :bounce: I'm not over confident that shes not gonna let me down but things are coming together. She ran pretty sweet, took two attempts to start this morning after standing for 10 hours, but that was without a...

UPDATE. Never thought but when I took the fuel pump out to clean the filters the seal was attached to the pump, not the tank. Found out on here that this is wrong, took it out again and fitted it to the tank lip and reseated the pump. Started 1st turn last few attempts. Gonna try and get...

Morning Gents. I'm officially a half-wit. :der: Been underneath this morning to run a cable from the starter solenoid and when I disconnected the spade it was pretty loose and full of oil. Cleaned it up with WD40 and crimped it a bit more and she's fired up. Result, I was getting really...

Just a heads up, I know this is is an old thread but after fitting a new steering box it continued. It was the power steering pipes that sit behind the grill & intercooler that had rusted through. The fluid was either spraying or tracking. Box didn't need replacing but at least its another thing...

I'm struggling to get under the car at the minute James, my backs decided it doesn't want to have any more concrete contact today :rolleyes: Looked as best as I can from above and got a picture which cant help the problem. The loom to the new FPR has got a white, yellow & black wire. The...

That is one special vehicle. Bloody good job Sir. :praise:

Well Gents, I've been underneath to check out the access to wire the solenoid and found a detached wire. I think / hope. The loom that connects to the new FPR has a split sheath and a white wire about 2mm Ø is not connected to anything. Tried taking a picture but not too clear & my backs wrecked...

Thanks for the help six months back on the FRV problem Sierrafery. Appreciated. Voltage is showing 12.48v standing & drops to 11.68v when I try starting it. Tried pushing it but I only managed to rock it, its on a bit of a hill. This all happened after I had the FPR changed at the garage but...

Its a manual Biolandy, sorry for not saying that. I'm a bit limited with spanners mate, basic socket sets as if I get too involved it usually ends in tears. I'll search the garage to see if I can cobble something together to try turning the crank. Also tried the ECU reset and spare keys...

Tried running a cable to the engine, makes no difference. The immobilizer lights doing what its always done. Flashes when the keys aren't in then goes out when you turn ignition on. I'm puzzled by this one? Thinking its gonna be expensive. :eek:

Thanks for that, I'll go and check what its doing and try the earth lead.

Cheers, Fanatic. The battery is fully charged and showing OK, just a bit concerned about the oil light being on. I'll look at the repair kit though.

Well, after 12 months of minor problems I'm thinking I've hit the fatality. The heap has been playing up for about 6 months now, pig to start, cutting out on runs and just generally not behaving. After advice from here I've changed the fuel return valve & fuel filter. Replaced the fuel lines...
